If you wan some business to accept BTC, DO NOT! tell them that BTC is a "blaa blaa new currency" but talk about it as a way to transfer currency for 1/10-100th of a cost thy pay for CC, DC etc payments now. Do you know what 5 USD or EUR card payment will cost to a merchant? Find out and weep!

This "new internet currency" bull shit as to the biggest PR fuck up ever for BTC.

If they get worried about btc-fiat exchange rate, introduce them to a service, that virtually eliminates this risk.
BTC is a low cost and secure way to transfer money with out banks, domestically or internationally.

I concur.

In a nutshell: Sell the points that are important to the merchant, not the points that are important to yourself.

If you are in the business of selling socks and underwear, odds are you care nothing for philosophical and ideological advantages.
