I think users need to accept first the bitcoin. Because if the users not know the Bitcoin how do local businesses accept it.,
exactly. every big thing start with a small thing. if individuals start accepting bitcoin and keep asking local stores, shops, markets to accept their bitcoins than the local business will probably be bothered to think about accepting bitcoin.
They will start to accept bitcoins when many customers come to them and ask do they accept bitcoin, after some time merchants will realize how important is for their business to accept btc as payment. But with so many topics here about saving, I ask my self sometimes who is actually spending bitcoins and that is maybe the main problem why we see so slow bitcoin adaptation among the merchants.
