More than just a transaction! My first time using bitcoin for payment

[Hypnosis00]

You have those magic words that make this lady agree and trust you. I appreciate your effort, man, spending several hours just to educate a stranger and an innocent person. Maybe this lady senses interest too when she hears about Bitcoin. And I'm sure she already heard about Bitcoin, but no one has taught her or even talked about it.

But I have a question—what happened to her now? Is she buying Bitcoin, or has she already sold it? Just curious, but I hope she did things right and continues learning about Bitcoin.

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.

There is few hiccups in this story, looks made up to me but that's fine, who the hell is accepting Bitcoin payments and don't have a clue about Bitcoin wallet? How is this even possible?

I know how customers behaves when you don't answer them very quickly, so you as a store owner accepting payment option that you don't know anything about makes no sense.

I am not going to buy this story OP, it makes no sense .

‎She was even finding it difficult to understand how the payment works, and I think that was her first time of hearing about making payments with Bitcoin.
‎
Instead of giving up, I took the opportunity to educate  her about Bitcoin for about 4hrs.
‎
I explained what Bitcoin is all about, how it works, and why a wallet is needed to send and receive money.
‎
‎After explaining the basics she needed to know, I ensure she asked questions and briefly narrated all I have taught her.
‎
After that I helped her set up a Bitcoin wallet, guided her through the process, and finally sent the payment successfully to her Bitcoin wallet and she received it immediately.

I doubt this is a true story, but it is giving you the benefit of the doubt. I am wondering why you have determined you will buy goods through Bitcoin payments when the shopkeeper isn’t aware of Bitcoin. And wondering how a random person trusts you since he isn’t aware of Bitcoin and how it works.

I have used Bitcoin as well, but for online purchases. I haven’t used Bitcoin payments for real-life shops since Bitcoin isn’t legal in my country. It seems you spent a lot of time explaining to her about the Bitcoin payment, but this isn’t enough to explain Bitcoin to a brand-new user. Make sure she has understood at least the basic things about Bitcoin and Bitcoin payments.

First step is the very hard step for everyone who wanted to be with something new to them and good thing that you are using a crypto transaction and I thought too that the other party are aware to make a transaction without having really some knowledge how it works and she trusted you to help about payment transaction of your bitcoin for me its way more risky or it's a made up story. Well, if its real that's the time of both of you are now enlighten about the use of the crypto transaction how it's so useful for fast, secure, and transparent.

I don't know if your story is true, but this is the first time I've heard of someone teaching someone about Bitcoin so quickly and convincing them to accept Bitcoin. Didn't you have fiat currency? And you should have bought products from stores that accept payment through Bitcoin. Anyway, it will be risky for the merchant because Bitcoin is not stable, so will he be able to convert Bitcoin to a stable currency at the right time? Did you give him an idea about this? If not, then the merchant may suffer losses.

This story is fabricated and I'm not sure if it's true. If OP is close to the person perhaps they have been a close friend and has been buying things there before, I will say it's easy to convince friends to try something they have not use before. You can't out of no where tell somebody to accept something they don't plan to have, even if the person knows about Bitcoin before, he will still want to have his money because that's his business money we are talking about.

If this is a centralized exchange deposit and it involves Bitcoin, I will be convince that what he said is true since the transaction will be an internal one, there will not be charges for fees, there will be no waste of time in transaction. From there, he can use a p2p. From his description, none of them looks familiar to be realistic.

[SuperBitMan]

I will not doubt your story because I have thought a lot of people about bitcoin and I have helped them set up their wallet also and I have also guided them to do their first purchase.
It is only people who have not done this kind of things that will find it difficult to believe your story, people who have done things like this will not actually doubt your story.

If you are the kind of person that teaches others about cryptocurrency or bitcoin, and encourage people to invest in bitcoin, or to include bitcoin transactions in their business you won’t say this story is a lie.

You did very well OP, next time don’t bother sharing such a story here keep it to yourself.

‎Well you did well to observe if it's true or not, my own concerns is promoting and creating awareness to anyone who's willing to be inform. Understanding the risks involved in it too.

That doesn't excuse you from making up stories that don't fit the actual reality in any way. The seller did not have a Bitcoin wallet? But, yes, you taught him. Are you serious? Is there an invasion of storytellers on the forum again? If the store accepts payment in bitcoins, then there will definitely be a competent person at the checkout who knows how sales are carried out. You made up a story, OP, and we can all guess why. Well, good luck.😁

3. ‎Send little funds first and confirm if the receiver has received before sending a huge amount.
...

Pretty useless or obsolete, there is no advantage in practical purpose. Anyway it's not a safety procedure, more something to scaramantic. 
I would completely avoid it.  I would not use any "arbitrary" limit, any satoshi is already a "large amount".
It would be enough double check the address/verify tx fees and "input" outputs of the transaction that's all.
If you would be safe you had to test the key that would receive the coin (at bests, if yours, just try to sign a message or load the key).
