I have come to realize that mostly on daily basis, petty traders; hawker stall, street vendors, street hawkers, market men and women, kiosks do transactions often and frequently and they are not amongst the top class citizens in the society. Some are uneducated and are not anywhere near technology to get acquainted with blockchain and Bitcoin. I believe if they are informed and have knowledge about Bitcoin properly they will want to key into it so as to save themselves of unnecessary stress and expenses from banks and other groups.
What's your opinion in educating these petty traders and letting them know more about Bitcoin because I believe this is amongst the grassroot adoption which starts from the base as they do transact more often than some of the big companies we hear of. Although the petty traders do little amount but it is most often on daily basis.
What steps would you take in drawing the attention of the traders to Bitcoin?

As I mentioned in some previous posts, any other BTZC / Crypto adoption from here on is out of our hands. What we mustn't do is preach the BTC gospel to everyone and anyone, that's bad and it's ineffective, even counterproductive. So ''educating'' them is not something we should be doing. The question here is, what's their incentive to do so? Why would they opt for that? Most of the aforementioned petty traders, as you mentioned, are not amongst the top-class citizens financially (to put it lightly), and they rely on FIAT money that will ensure they put food on the table and pay their bills. If they don't have options of paying (easily) for those day-to-day necessities, then why would they accept crypto? To invest? Those people don't have the luxury of ''investing'' just so we can see crypto be forcefully adopted everywhere because we think it's the next best thing since sliced bread. This path we undertook this last cycle was too fast and too abrupt towards adoption for some reason or another and nothing good is coming out of it. Preaching to people about what good investment crypto is, it's just making it look like a Ponzi scheme, so maybe we should take a step back and let things take their course with natural government and crypto interweaving and gradual steps to see if and how all of this can work. If it can work on that level at all.
