We would also love to see people be able to buy food from their favourite grocery store with bitcoin. Let's make it happen! Which grocery store should we approach? I'm guessing an online, nation-wide, grocery store may make the most sense. They could use Unocoin's merchant gateway to process their orders. By processing their orders through Unocoin, the business can have their clients' bitcoin turned into INR deposited into their bank account in less than 24 hours.
Let's get a list together of all the merchants we would like to see accepting bitcoin in 2015. I'll get it started...
1) Airtel
2) Flipkart
3) Ola
4) Cleartrip
5) ?
See here for more details:
https://www.unocoin.com/merchantsWould unocoin be contacting these guys and asking them to accept bitcoin?
If they accept it, it would be a world wide revolution and bitcoin price will actually go up because then people will start using btc as an actual currency! This would also bring a lot of demand for bitcoin in India.
I would like to see these guys accepting btc too:
5) Shopkeeper near my home
6) Big Bazaar
7) The Mobile Store
Everyone
I like your enthusiasm. Before we start a world wide revolution, let's begin with India.
Let's systematically approach all of these companies in 2015. Its time we put India on the bitcoin map! If we see that there is a market need for any one of these companies to accept bitcoin, perhaps we can all approach them together, like at the same time.
I put together this google spreadsheet to keep track of all the companies that we're bringing up here:
