Merchants will start accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment only if the people around them are aware about bitcoins and are willing to pay in bitcoins and if none is aware about bitcoin then there is no point in accepting bitcoins as a payment method.
Merchants will accept bitcoin if it's profitable for them, they don't care about people awareness or whatever, it's simple and all is about profit, it's fact
I think the seller is not only thinking about profit dude, they also think how to maintain a good service so that customers come again.
So a shop must know how bitcoin conditions in their area. When it is in the area surrounding many use bitcoin, and bitcoin as a payment they receive. So it is one of the services that benefit the customers I guess. Thank you
Well, this seems to be the most tricky part
How would sellers know whether people living nearby are involved with Bitcoin? Unless they tell the sellers themselves, right? But why would anyone make a clean breast of it and admit using Bitcoin? You may think that no one around you even heard about Bitcoin while, in fact, the whole neighborhood may be infested with Bitcoin millionaires. In this way, until and unless merchants declare it themselves they are ready for Bitcoin ("Bitcoin accepted here"), scarcely anyone is going to ask about payments in Bitcoin, especially in small towns, where everyone knows everything about everyone else
