My dream has become a reality

But your customers look like tailors why is it that all of them have the measurement tape? Are you sure what you are saying. If it is true the you are Well done. Also your images are big so reduce them a little bit. And don't show the images of your persons again, respect their identity. Go and teach more then you will become a vendor in your locality. Three persons are not enough although for the Start. The way the thread is, it looks like a merit fishing, show the transaction the three customers made...

Definitely not customer and OP didn't mention she posted pictures with customers holding that payment sign. She and her co-workers can pose for the picture.
Cool down a bit. She shared an achievement, don't try to discourage her. If you have any personal problem with her, don't start here.

Btw, @OP it would be nice if you create a banner or a tarpaulin with Bitcoin accepted here design and much better if you can put on the entrance of your store.  It will surely attract attention and curiosity to those who are new with the Bitcoin payment system.

If OP is a Nigerian and also living there I wouldn't advice such publicity since the government hasn't openly declared there intentions yet about bitcoin. Although there seems to be hopes of it been accepted by the Nigerian government with the recent lessen of its restrictions but till then I will advice the OP to stick to the little paper adverts rather than billboard. OP should also discuss about it acceptance as a fork of payment to only people who are already into it or people showing glimpse of getting involved into it, not to every random customer, for security purpose.

Those are my apprentices not my customers.. In my country Bitcoin isn't legalized yet so I don't want to have this on a billboard or signboard just yet, as for those saying I need to do more to inspire people do not forget the risks involved.

There is no point inspiring those that show no interest in something that's highly volatile, I only lecture those that are open to new ideas and are not scared of taking risks.

I don't have to become a vendor I am just promoting Bitcoin, I have 80% of my money invested in crypto and it's been a long time coming, this was what even inspired my customers, asking me questions and telling me to teach them.

Merit fishing you say? I hope this forum implements video uploading someday so forum members will see a lot more, I have 5 apprentices and 1 was behind the camera taking my picture with 2 of my apprentice, do I look too young to be interacting with Bitcoin? You have no idea.

If bitcoin is not legal in your country as a means of payment, then you shouldn't be announcing it to anyone online even in forum. Someone can post your photo even though you are trying to blurry, but it is always possible for it to spread on social media and the government knows you.

Merit fishing you say?

I guess it's just one of the impressions about your thread where previously the same idea has also been posted by other people. You know, everyone has a different perspective on other people's endeavors, but we never really know what's in your heart. I don't think there's anything wrong with that impression, but don't use it as an excuse why you should lose motivation and move on with your adoption efforts.

Maybe other people who want bad intention can use that so much better to put water mark on those pic with the name or forum name of OP so that no one can stole it easily.

Well somehow that's what the post mean but it really deserve since effort has been made for spreading the word of bitcoin on his neighborhood. Hopefully OP will not doing it because he was hype up by bitcoin and continue this for more better awareness about it on his place.

Of course, that's what I'm worried about. I do like someone posting their image in online forum, but some of them don't really protect their privacy very well. Please adopt as much as you can, but privacy should be maintained instead of telling people the identity if it is illegal.

I can say that some people who are from Nigeria tend to share their image in forums regardless of the purpose. Of course there is no prohibition on that, but obviously this does not protect their privacy because bitcoin is not legal there to be adopted as a means of payment. So I think that mindset needs to change soon and they can still contribute to the forum safely.

Bitcoin not being recognized as an official payment method does not make bitcoin illegal. It's only illegal if a law has been passed that says so. There is a clear distinction. Banks and especially central banks might not like cryptocurrencies but if the government doesn't forbid it, there shouldn't be a problem if businesses accept it.

Taxes are a different issue though. The local tax authority isn't going to allow you to not pay your taxes. I wonder what would happen if inspection comes to your shop to look at your books and they notice that 'Bitcoin Accepted' sign? It would be even worse if they catch one of your clients leaving the shop without a receipt, proof of payment and paid taxes. That's something worth thinking about to avoid hefty fines. I have no idea how those things work in your area of living, but you should check it out.

[passwordnow]

There is no point inspiring those that show no interest in something that's highly volatile, I only lecture those that are open to new ideas and are not scared of taking risks.

This is also my mindset now. If someone is keen and shows how interested they are in bitcoin, I won't be selfish with them and I'll share everything that I know of and my way of investing in bitcoin and even how I do and keep it, I'll share it with them.
But there's no sense that you talk a lot that you know and you're just giving away what you've learned for years and then you'll be dumped on an instant from these people that have only showed interest at the start but stopped all of a sudden.

So what do you think is the much safer way? Are you saying it's better not to post pictures at all?

[franky1]

i can be the biggest cynic of peoples motives but i feel this topic is someone genuinely just describing how bitcoin has made positives on their life without any malice or harm on others.

id say for those that have seen benefit of bitcoin where no harm or foul was needed to achieve it. spread that knowledge to others. help others prosper

I have always dreamed of accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment since the year 2017 even before I became a master in my money-making haven ( fashion designer ) and now the time has finally come, today I start accepting Bitcoin payments.

It is a good aspiration and should be exemplified by other tailors, the payment method in Bitcoin is a method that many entrepreneurs / businesses aspire to, maybe you are one of the sewing entrepreneurs who have succeeded in making payments in Bitcoin.

I once read a sewing business entrepreneur who lives in London, he is Artefact London becomes world's first tailor to accept crypto payments, hope your, can also succeed like Artefact, maybe you want to also add some other cryptocurrencies like what Artefact London did.

Maybe you can also take a little experience from Artefact London, so that you become the most entrepreneur, the most successful sewing business in your country as a recipient of crypto in your business.

I think some of my compatriots seem to have adopted bitcoin as a means of payment, but for the convenience of their service, they never post anything on social media or anywhere else. He did this because bitcoins are not legal tender in my country and of course this is regulated by law.

It will be different if your country has legalized bitcoin as a means of payment where you can also make large banners in front of shops or places of business freely without the risk of violating the rules. Regarding image, I'm not against anyone posting them but I just agree you have to have good privacy just to keep you safe in relatively less secure places.

[OgNasty]

Congratulations. Making any dream into reality is a wonderful thing that one can be proud of. It sounds like you’re doing your part to help spread adoption and provide a use case for crypto. I think people like you have always driven Bitcoin’s success and I’m glad to see that people are still continuing to give their effort to helping build this community with new and motivated users.

No matter how small, a day is the beginning of a story. An admirable and courageous move from African citizens is accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for their business. This is a commendable announcement that shows Africans are doing their hardest to provide bitcoin as a payment option to their businesses in respect of their locality.

This Christmas, make an effort to have a business card and give it to everyone you meet. letting them know that you accept bitcoin as payment for your fashion design services. Before you realize it, the fact that you accept bitcoin payments will be widely recognized.

[hZti]

You can expand your buisness by first selling bitcoin to people and then they can buy stuff with the bitcoin at your store. This will make it way easier for people to get into bitcoin, since adoption especially for every day users is still quite low.

Good advice, this looks like a more easier way to spread the news but its the last thing to do right now because of the law, like I've said in my other comment Bitcoin is still not legal in my country, this is the least I can do right now.

If I have a business card with bitcoin as means of payment on it is not that safe, business cards travel faster as we know it, I can easily be tracked since my address will be on it, nah I won't do this. My customers that pay me in Bitcoin also understand that it's not legal here yet.

Right now my focus is to keep talking about Bitcoin to my customers and anyone that shows interest is welcome, I am willing to put them through 100% free of charge, I will leave the rest till when its legalized.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

There are too many people that don't know anything about Bitcoin here, few who knew about it call it a scam, I blame that on lack of knowledge

First of all, I wish to appreciate you on your new initiative of accepting Bitcoin on your fashion designer business, because you can never understand the freedom Bitcoin offers until you used it on your day to day business, which you just started. And secondly, who do you think will teach those around your locality about Bitcoin if you don't do so? Or who do you think will help convince those who see Bitcoin as scam that it's indeed legit if you don't do so. So as a member of this forum, it is our duty to spread the knowledge of Bitcoin in our various locality of which you just started. So that was a good job

[troutalks]

 Awesome, congratulations!

Bitcoin is illegal for transactions in your country? Or it is not recognized as a legal tender in your country by some reasons? If bitcoin is illegal as a payment on a transaction in your country, It would be better to pause your transactions with Bitcoin first. I'm not ruining a dream here but it would be better than to be in jail because you accepted bitcoin as a payment for something. But if it is not considered as a legal tender, I don't see wrong with accepting it. You can't be put on jail as long as it is not indicated that crypto transactions is not allowed or morelikely banned in your country. I don't know the laws in your country but I could suggest to try looking for it since you can level up your dream by promoting bitcoin in your store legally.

Your customer looks unique in their uniform. Seems like they are part of your apprentice. In any case, congrats and good luck in your btc journey.  It is a good thing to teach about btc to new people who are interested and willing to listen.
I hope your customers find btc investment useful and profitable.
