in my city there are not restaurant that accept bitcoin as the payment, i dont know why, but i think in my city bitcoin is not popular than the other country and maybe pay with bitcoin in the restaurant near me is immpossible in this time. but i hope that it will happen in the next year or next 2 year again, so i can pay my meal with bitcoin and my smartphone wallet
The reason is obvious that it's either your country isn't endorsing bitcoin or those restaurant owners are not educated and they don't know that bitcoin is existing. The same goes with my country there are no seen restaurants that are starting to accept bitcoin but what's good is there are some establishments that are now accepting bitcoin. I hope that someday they will start offering meals and we can pay it through bitcoin.
Not necessarily. It could be that restaurant owners are ignorant, but there are legitimate economic reasons to not accept Bitcoin. One is simply the cost of transactions. The average cost in November was around $8 USD. So if a customer buys a $40 meal, that's 5%. Who pays for that 5%? Does the restaurant owner eat it? Do you bill the customer?
Okay, so even if you solve that problem, what happens when a month like December rolls around? Transaction fees have averaged $30! (See
