I have been motivated by every person here who has in one way or another promoted bitcoin in their locality. This year, theres been more bitcointalk members teaching bitcoin outside the forum and accepting bitcoin payment in their businesses. Im happy I am ending the year trying something new and unique in my business.
We are a beauty, cosmetic and personal care shop ( pedicure and manicure, lashes extension, facials, micro blading) in Nigeria.
To be honest, I was hesitant to do this because I thought it wouldnt work in my profession. But theres no downside to trying, so I did. After browsing the internet for a good bitcoin sign, I settle for this one. The sign is on my Secretary/cashiers desk next to the card that has my bank account details. Placing the two together was deliberate because I put a discount on bitcoin making payments in bitcoin cheaper to attract people. The only challenge I face right now is 99% of our customers are female, and most do not have any prior knowledge of bitcoin or cryptocurrency, the ones who do either heard about bitcoin from their partner or social media campaigns but they havent given it much thought. Its popular among the male folk here, I am yet to have a customer pay in bitcoin but its good enough to start the conversation. I placed a 10% discount for those who pay in bitcoin and that I think that move prompt my clients to begin asking how they can do so. Ive had clients ask me to explain to them how Bitcoin works which I am always glad to do. Even my neighbor is curious and is likely to join the crypto fam soon. Though I havent had a bitcoin sales, this new addition to my business has added value and a closeness to my relationship with my clients.
Happy new year guys. See you in 2023

It's very nice to see people open to bitcoin adoption, moreover it's a merchant, in my opinion this will be a good step for your business and also the adoption of bitcoin in the future because with what you do there will definitely be customers who are interested in knowing what bitcoin is and start learning it or it will be easier for bitcoiners to make payments with their bitcoins for your services. What's more, you put a 10% discount on your service for payment with bitcoin, this will certainly be an attraction for people to be able to use bitcoin for services and customers will really appreciate that. Not many merchants do what you do, and we really appreciate that. Good work.
