im always asking "are you accepting btc?" to all shops in Turkey. but sometimes staffs are know what is btc. we need more academic presentation. if everyone knows, they accept it. we need to spread it.
Not all of the local businesses know about Bitcoin and for encouraging it in our local businesses we have to take the start. If you start a local shop in your area with discount and attract the buyers to you then people will come to you and other store owners will also start to accept bitcoin.
I think it is hard to attract them if they know the benefits of bitcoin and how to use it maybe they can accept it as payment method but it is depends what is their business or product they are offering.. if bitcoin will fit for their business maybe they can attract more people to use it with special offers or discounts,.
