bitcoin has no arms. no legs and no voice.
bitcoin will not be accpted in your local town store if you simply sit on yor hands and hop bitcoin somehow drops in and talks to your local stores manager.
bitcoin only grows as a real world currency if those that want it in their local stores, actually themselves go into their local stores and help the local stores be bitcoin acceptable.
this means YOU (anyone reading this that wants their local store to accept bitcoin)
there's no reason any rational person would try to convince a store manager to take a form of money that very few people use and the volatility of which is off the charts. Bitpay just converts btc to fiat for the merchant, so he ends up accepting...fiat.
