A bitcoin exchange is a place where you trade bitcoin. You are talking about accepting bitcoin and crypto. It is very easy and there are endless topics.
Ive got a pet shop and I wanted to accept bitcoin and alt coins then I was reading about becoming a bitcoin exchange ... is this possible? I understand its worth goes up and down.
I got a little bit confused as to you accepting bitcoins and altcoins as form of payment in your shop, or starting your own bitcoin exchange, or just fusing them all in one? Either way, starting something such as a business or an exchange doesn't need the interest only but it needs passion and action. Most people have pets being groomed and well taken cared of rather than humans so it is actually a good idea. Maybe you can put up a sign outside/inside of your store saying that you accept bitcoin as payment or rather endorse yourself to your loyal customers. It would pay off hopefully and you can boost your store's ratings. Not only you take care of their pets, but you generate income in the form of cash and cryptocurrency as well.
He wants to use bitcoin as a payment method. He said exchange because they probably don't know any better. But they are learning so its good.
Give a discount to anyone who pays with crypto. say 5% at least. 10% would be great. I hope this is not a pet shop that sells dogs and cats. You can save a dog or cat fro, the spca for free.
