Hello all. It has been a while since I made a topic regarding my hardware store which has started accepting Bitcoin as a payment in September of 2021. It has now been 6 months and the business is going very well, but sadly not a lot of people decide to pay using Bitcoin. I often get people saying things like: "Isn't Bitcoin a huge scam or something?" or "Couldn't Bitcoin just drop to 1 cent?"...
It's sad to see that people still have those stupid stereotypes about Bitcoin. This honesty sucks because it gives a negative reputation to Bitcoin and my business.
However, I have made sure to inform people who used BTC to make a purchase about the BitcoinTalk Forum and how it is a good place to learn and read on the topic of cryptocurrencies in general.
Can you find and print out (or put it on a visible place on your website if it's online) some good infographic material about Bitcoin? So that people can see and read stuff before asking questions like this. If you google 'bitcoin infographic' you can find plenty of options. What I also think can be helpful is an image with names of big companies that accept Bitcoin or famous people who endorse Bitcoin because things like that matter to people when they're not sure. Also, if you want to encourage people to use Bitcoin, perhaps you could make a small discount for those paying in Bitcoin? I'm sorry people are being negative about Bitcoin in your store.
