My dream has become a reality

[Dickiy]

congratulate! We don't have any shopping malls here that use cryptocurrencies for payment. But people around me have already started to understand Bitcoin. A friend of mine is also considering cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Perhaps next year, bitcoin payment will be one of the frequently seen payment methods. If I ever come across a supermarket that accepts Bitcoin, I might try to pay in cryptocurrency.

in my country also it seems that no one accepts payments with bitcoin yet, but quite a lot of people know about bitcoin but no one has thought about it that way. payment using bitcoins.
and in my country bitcoin is only made as an investment. but I don't know for the future, yes, hopefully next year there will be progress, which is better. so that many shops can accept payments using bitcoin.

There are still relatively few people who understand Bitcoin around and business owners are not as broad in scope so they may not be opening up other payment alternatives.
What is clear is that maybe the regulations in your country limit payments in other currencies so that even business owners who already have knowledge about bitcoin do not dare to violate the rules set by the government in your area because sanctions are usually imposed when they violate them.
Apart from that maybe you should also take part in the socialization of bitcoin in your area to accelerate the knowledge of the people around you like what OP did.

Appreciate what you have done and many congratulations from me. It is very good that you have introduced the salary bitcoin transaction of designing sewing machine work.  Currently, it has been seen that many products are traded in bitcoins in various developed countries, where payments can be easily made in bitcoins. I think it would be great if such Bitcoin payments were introduced in all areas. and Bitcoin will create a huge platform on earth in the future in all fields.

According to the adage "Knowledge is power" one can only stand tall if he or she knows the franchises worth to be fight for in the country. Some country have started to embrace crypto while some are still recalcitrant in accepting it. Following strict laws from the government against the norms put in place to regulate the operation of cryptocurrency is just all about ignorance and poor growth in mentality. No government that want the best for it's citizens will prohibits the operation of bitcoin or even go as far as banning it knowing fully well that it bitcoin operation and existence will profits every single citizens in the country as long one can catch up the activities going on in the crypto space.

That's awesome! OP, what's your setup in terms of customers making payments? Mobile, directly wallet to wallet, no payment gateways?

I haven't backed read since it's a lot of pages but it's better if ever he's using a payment gateway or third party to just accept it directly like P2P transfers.
In that manner, he'll save fees since most of these gateways do charge a fee or a commission as not all service are for free. But with such direct payments and transfers to him, he'll get to save and add that to his investment or current holding in bitcoin.
Congratulations to you outhue and since it's almost a month that has passed, how's your business doing in terms of having customers pay your service or products in bitcoin? Is the demand just good or not that high?

[Reatim]

Man this is really cool and I wish that I had a lot more merit so that I could give you some (anyone with some merit, this is the exact type of thread that really deserves it, please consider doing so).

This is the exact type of thing that is going to help bitcoin and to help bitcoins ecosystem grow.  Plus as you said most people don't know what it is or how it works, this gives you a perfect opportunity to be able to educate others.  Bravo well done!

Thank you ChiBitCTy, people like you are encouraging, few people are saying I am doing it wrong with zero better solution from them, very soon I won't be the only one accepting Bitcoin here because the adoption is growing bigger in my country, the government is already trying to lift all ban on crypto that is what I read on the news, I will wait and see how this goes.

there is no need to be caring about what other said negatively because it is your business and it is your responsibility to what will happen in the future and having this as an option? best to just focus and try to lure other businesses around you to try adopting bitcoin and other crypto for better solution.
you did a great job here mate , listen nothing to them and just continue your adoption .

word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool when it comes to adoption. if other businesses will learn the OP's move and eventually grasp its benefits, for sure, they will try their hands also on crypto. it is just a matter of time before they will see the the advantages of integrating crypto in their payment method.
remember, people will always say something to the situation they are not in. you don't need to listen from other's opinion if you know they are not well-informed.

And this is just a beginning  in their locality  and surely many interest will increase for the benefits of Bitcoin and together with some altcoins that will also be beneficial for all of us here.

Looking at the pictures, you must be from Nigeria, the country that just lifted the bitcoin ban introduced in 2020. It's great to see bitcoin becoming more and more popular. Congrats on achieving your dream, and I hope by accepting bitcoin for business, your business will grow and have more customers, especially those paying with bitcoins.

Yeah the business would be blessing Nigeria with how and why bitcoin is helpful , I will love seeing this more to happen.

[SOKO-DEKE]

There is nothing better than having your dreams come true. I'll let you know my congratulations for it. I think your intention in allowing Bitcoin at your shop is to raise awareness among other people rather than for your own advantage. It would be nice if you made it clear that you take Bitcoin on every large banner so that people could readily learn about it. Op, you did a fantastic job, and I think this will really aid in the uptake of bitcoin. I have observed numerous forum users who have been doing this, and I believe they are all still doing it. I wish you success.

[Erumo]

Great that you have now a new payment option, but did you get any benefits from that? Did you win something? Sorry, I am not in your skin and I dont fully understand your happiness. I mean what has separated or stopped you from accepting Bitcoin as a payment, lets say a year ago or at the beginning of your business? Do you have many customers that paid you directly in Bitcoin or crypto?

I sell some stuff on facebook marketplace, I can go fiat or crypto. I see no big reason celebrating that "I can now accept Bitcoin now for an item I've sold". As a fashion designer, you probably sell items by p2p system. Doubt that you have registered as an individual entrepreneur, do all taxing stuff and etc. I think you have your business simplified.

P.S. Does network transaction fees bother you or your customers?

[summonerrk]

Congratulations on this event! You are really changing the world by your example. I wish your career to develop and you could get a big sphere of influence!

[Pesona1]

I am happy to see your dream come true, all this time many of us have dreamed and hoped that bitcoin could become a legal tender globally, I think the steps you have taken can be a great first step for the development of bitcoin around you, even though now you are only have a few bitcoin paying customers but I'm pretty sure if you have the guts to educate local people about bitcoin then over time you can have more customers using bitcoin as a means of payment, in fact, many of us here probably already use bitcoin as a means of payment but in my opinion it only happens in certain closed communities because of the rules for using bitcoin which are still prohibited by the government as a means of transaction, I hope you can also pay attention to this because after all if your country still prohibits the use of bitcoin as a means of payment of course you have to be careful.

[Mr.suevie]

Well am not suprise anymore, although bitcoin is currently restricted in my country but still doesn't stop people from trading and transacting bitcoin through peer to peer transaction in my locality. The way bitcoin is spreading all over in my place is just a matter of time before the government will succom to the current trend. I have come across so many small business enterprises that are currently accepting bitcoin and this has also help in the spreading of this wonderful initiative and also creating curiousity among people that are not exposed to bitcoin. So congratulations on your good efforts and dream achieved.

[Cantsay]

It's very nice to look at people who have realized their dream

True and not only did she get to achieve one of her dreams but also got to contribute greatly in the adoption of Bitcoin. Some might consider it as something that others have been doing but you won't really be able to tell who she's going to reach out to with this initiative of hers. It might be those that have never heard of Bitcoin before might get a chance to hear and learn through this initiative of hers. So it's really a thing to look to.

We are the ones who do handle our own life and on the decisions that we are making.If OP has that long time dream and then its already happening then its good not only for her but also for the widespread or simply

with the recognition of Bitcoin which is always been that good or something that commendable for this kind of initiative or minding about spreading up the opportunity on where Bitcoin could give.
Yes, aside from that payment transaction utility or simple with its p2p feature + anonymity which you could also have the chance on making out some investment due into its
potential price increase.

It’s almost a month since OP started accepting bitcoin payments and other cryptocurrencies. I was expecting an update to the thread for us to see if anyone has made an actual payment in bitcoin since he started. It will bring me much gratification to see average people spending bitcoins as a currency on goods and services instead of only viewing bitcoin as an investment or store value.

[wiss19]

I like it when you say you became a master of your money making haven will that means you are earning massive and maybe rich now? That's great but getting involved in Bitcoin will help you increase your wealth more if you use it as an asset and Hodl it for the long term other than using it as one of your payment method in your business.

Don't be sad if only a few people uses BTC for now, maybe you are just in a country where BTC isn't really popular but you're right that as time goes by, many people will discover it so don't be discouraged easily. You are also doing your own thing of making BTC popular. We here in the forum are so proud of you.

[nidacoinlove]

This is a great contribution towards BTC awareness and you are proving it by accepting it yourself as a medium of exchange which is awesome. Congratulations on your success. This step of you means a lot to the crypto industry. Keep it up, the brilliant work. I will advise to create a chain and convince your supplier to accept BTC from you as a payment. This will encourage other people of your community to adopt BTC.

[Tony116]

How about you? I am also really curious to know if you are here to invest or use bitcoin as a payment method. For me, using bitcoins as a means of payment is fine, but using them as an investment or a store of value is also fine. With limited supply, I think it is more suitable as a store of assets than as a means of payment. I mean, I have no problem with anyone using bitcoin for daily spending, and even better if someone uses it as an investment. Bitcoin is multifunctional, each with its own needs.

I am also eager to know is there is any real changes in his business after starting accepting bitcoin!

To be honest people are not ready to spend their bitcoin for now cause they know the value of bitcoin will be a lot higher in future so they keep it as long as they can and on the other hand where people completely lost their trust on their fiat currencies due to uncontrollable inflation rate made huge down for their purchasing power choose to use bitcoin as much as they can.

This is not a help for Bitcoin, many think that it is a store of value and that it should be held tight for the future or to guarantee it to one's children but how can its value or its purchasing power grow if it is not spent ?  How can mass adoption take place if no one adopts it?  We have to start paying in BTC and maybe buy it back the same day but that's the only way to have many transactions and help it become more and more popular.

I think you just spoke my mind, as I was also thinking it will be very nice we getting to know howfar her adoption of Bitcoin has been for the past 30days, as I'm sure she must have encountered lots of experience that anyone who wishes to adopt Bitcoin in their fashion business could learn from.. So "O.P", what have you to say?

[Chrlie95]

This is such a symbolic move by you. Great work. Sometimes, we cannot believe what little changes can make great differences. Do what you believe.
