We all want bitcoin to be globally adopted right, you want to be able to use your bitcoin as a currency to buy foodstuffs, goods or service in your local community then what are you doing to encourage that? No one here can tell me that he/she hasn't sold anything before, so you have no excuse of not accepting bitcoin in exchange for what you sold be it your books, gadget or anything salable expect you never knew of bitcoin then.
I walked into my barbers shop yesterday then notice something was different (i took a closer look at what was printed on the A4 paper pasted on the notice board and it reads "We now accept Bitcoin & ETH as payment options" it went on to explain that ETH will be accepted for the $2 and below fees and bitcoin accepted for fees above that. It gave me joy because I was the one who introduced him to bitcoin few years back. As an act of encouragement I have promise to promote his business both online and in popular blockchain related gathering I attend.
Few of my previously sold gadget monetary value were received in cryptocurrency and i have come to realize if we want the world to take us seriously we have to act ourselves so I'm encouraging the service providers and others we have on forum to start accepting bitcoin, charity begins at home.
We too have taken up initiative to promote bitcoin and connect more people with bitcoin.
Just because you sell stuff, may i ask you.
Would you be interested in starting a LIME.
LIME - Local Independent Micro Exchange.
Let me get it clear - LIME is an ideology and not a product.
An exchange just for local people in your neighborhood, community or even tourist places. This will save people from sending their personal information to some offshore exchange with zero liability. Through LIME you can provide people with liquidity and most importantly you can introduce them to bitcoin.
I have written a post on how my village farmers now invest in bitcoin.
