I think it won't be so hard to understand that bitcoin payment implementation can be done for extra comfort. When you see visa/mastercard, skrill, paypal, webmomey, yandex money, neteller and others as a payment option in store, this doesn't mean shop owner supports them, no, he/she doesn't give a shit to those companies, it's just to make payment more available for everyone amd every type of customer. Imagine, I am in restaurant, seems I don't have cash and just realizef that I left my card in store but I remember I have money on my bitcoin wallet and store accepts it too, it escapes me from current weird situation. Can you understand now why wide choise of payment is good?


Congrats OP, it's a good step. But on another hand I am very interested in how beneficial btc payment implementation will be for you. So can you answer me on these questions?
1. How good is your bar's location? Is it located in areas which is full of tourists or it's mostly for those who live nearby?
2. How much transactions have been done since you implemented it? If there was any, how much was on bitcoin and on bitcoin cash.

Hey there,
1- it's not a great location. It's inside the Record store but the town having almost 30M people a year ( Camden Town)

2-since I announced, only people been sending some small amount of tips and only 1 person purchased coffee with BTC after he saw it in here Smiley

My tweet about it has reached almost 200k reach and plenty of engagement but at the end of the day nobody wants to travel to buy a cuppa with BTC.

Those people are great who sent tips to you, seems they appreciated the fact you integrated btc payment. If it doesn't affect your budget, then why not to keep it? I think it's still unusual for people when they see someone paying with btc and seems everyonr tries to pay with what's common, possibly.
