So, we know that if we want to succeed with this experiment, we must get people to use and accept bitcoins. Bitcoin adoption will only grow, if there are merchants and services that accept it.

How many times have you wished that your favorite shop accepted Bitcoin as a payment option? Did you ask them if they know about this and if they are considering this?

I had made it my primary goal to go out there and to actively convince people to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. They have nothing to lose, because it is just a additional payment option.

We should have teams of people that are actively involved into training merchants to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. , if we want Bitcoin to become a alternative payment option.

Forget for one moment that some people want Bitcoin to be a "Commodity" or a "Store of Value" and focus on trying to stimulate the "Payment/Currency" side of Bitcoin.

Are you waiting for other people to do this or are you doing this yourself? If you are doing this, please take part in the Poll to indicate how involved you are in doing this. Wink

I tried it so many times some refuse to accept bitcoin and some accepted my payments, first time i tried it is when i bought a shoes from a surplus store and the cashier denied my payment because they are syaing that they dont know how to use that currency that was my first time, then i tried it again after several weeks and bought a gadget and i offer to pay in bitcoin and this cashier accepted my offer because they are using a bitcoin wallet. so the catch here is the technology it self some are knowledgeable and others are not.
