I just wondered if anyone here had set up at a market and tried to sell Bitcoin to the public/tourists?
I think it's be a bit of advertising for Bitcoin for people that walk past and people may buy as novelty gift etc. (if done as fancy paper wallet).
I'm considering trying this in London, what do you guys think?
i am not yet trying to do like what OP asked because i think it is not enough information for public/tourist about bitcoin and also there is many problem that i could face like, i should explain first what my purpose is, maybe i should explain the basic of bitcoin. i think ordinary people is too scared for new thing that they don't have much of informations so i think we need a time before we can sell bitcoin into public/tourists but i am sure we can see that in future. but if you are in london, maybe in your city, you can trying to sell your bitcoin into public because i think london is a big city with many people that will accept new thing especially in technology aspect so maybe you can start your own market.
Why bother trying to sell bitcoin in public for people that does not know anything about it and they dont know its true value and its potential, you could easily sell bitcoin online for people that actually use it and know its value for a high price, you could find many people who would do so in localbitcoins.
