Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC?

Its indeed very hard to let people believe in the bitcoin

Open yourself a shop, and show, how it work, positively.

For a local business, you will find 1 from 100.000 costumers that will pay in bitcoin.

Online things can be more easy but local is almost impossible.

First tr to promote the concept of bitcoin in your local area to everyone and make sure that now they will adopt bitcoin easily without any hurdle so when you will then start a local business and people will start using your service then other local businesses will also use bitcoin for themselves.

It is not going to be an easy job to promote the concept of bitcoin especially in your local town. Because most of the people there doesn't even know what bitcoin is, if there are maybe not even going to reach 1% of the total population to your local town. Hmm, but maybe if you will conduct some seminars for the business owners and tries to educate them with bitcoin without something you are asking for them in return, then maybe they will encouraged to use and adopt bitcoin.

I agree and the best thing to do with this seminars or conference is during an events or fares where business people gathers and looking for somethig new, either a technology or designs. This way you can advertise about bitcoin and at the same time invite them to your seminar. Just be creative when you do your flyers because it is where you can attract this business people in taking attention to your plan.
