I quickly rushed into the shop and asked the cashier if what is written is true and she told me that I can buy any wine with Bitcoin. But the she has to call her boss who was not around for us to carryout the transaction since she knows nothing about Bitcoin. I was not happy because her boss have not taught her how to receive payments in Bitcoin. I had to take these memorable pictures and promised to come back later to buy maybe a bottle of wine.
It feels so good to see businesses adopt bitcoin despite the government's stance. In this case, I do understand why the business owner may be hesitant to teach the staff just yet about it. Possibly, he or she just started accepting it. Secondly, lack of trust and security. Thirdly, for some personal reasons.
Although some countries have Bitcoin ATMs and countless businesses that accepts Bitcoin. But in my country such businesses are rare and I have never seen or heard of any Bitcoin ATM in my country. Maybe it might be because of the restrictions placed on Bitcoin by the Central Bank, but I am glad that businesses are taking advantage of the opportunities that Bitcoin offers. Gradually my area would have more Bitcoin friendly businesses.
There are actually two bitcoin ATMs in Nigeria. They are located in Lagos State. One is installed at Dazey Lounge and Bar in Lagos. While the other is installed at CI Cryptosolutions also in Lagos. I cannot confirm at the moment if they are still operational but I am aware that at some point it was operational.
