Wow she was very trusting
I guess cautious people like me would have been a huge road block
Lol a stranger meeting me and convincing me that he has a type of money I have not much information with
Good luck with that.
And why would a shop state they accept Bitcoin without knowing how to receive with it
Or even having a bitcoin wallet.
It's irrational and hard to believe in my opinion.
My thoughts exactly it will be a very big red flag for me to be convinced about a certain Payment method in just that short time and I’ll agree to accept for selling my product most especially if I have no knowledge about it at prior to the purchase or from even a total stranger. This lady in question has really trusted him to some certain extent which I don’t think I would have been able to if it was me.
You raised a point though about why would a shop state they accept bitcoin payments and don’t know how to even use it for transactions. This is questionable, and even making the whole story look cooked and illogical. even though from OP’s post, I can’t see where he said the shop stated they deal with bitcoin payment prior to his purchase.
