i don't think that we can help them, they have to decide on their own
Yes you are right but we can help them by explaining them what are the uses of bitcoins there are many local businesses dont know about bitcoins so we can help them by our suggestions it's up to them if they are really convinced for your suggestions.
Absolutely right we really can help them actually through our explainations but its really hard to teach them if no proof at all right? So to begin explaining them the btc reality we must have our visual aids like presentation of bitcoin history and until at present days btc influences a lot of people who are brilliant with their visions. We must have records of activities we did online and include it in our presentation files to be having complete, brief and trusted information and of course the sincerety of what you will be explaining to those local businesses owners.
Those visual and other stuffs will really help you out on convincing but besides on bringing those tools its better to show them off a full and precise explanation of bitcoin through video because its somehow effective on explaining on precise way and bring some little examples to demonstrate to him on its usage then he might got interested on that but still depends on the knowledge of business owner into digital stuffs.
