congratulate! We don't have any shopping malls here that use cryptocurrencies for payment. But people around me have already started to understand Bitcoin. A friend of mine is also considering cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Perhaps next year, bitcoin payment will be one of the frequently seen payment methods. If I ever come across a supermarket that accepts Bitcoin, I might try to pay in cryptocurrency.
in my country also it seems that no one accepts payments with bitcoin yet, but quite a lot of people know about bitcoin but no one has thought about it that way. payment using bitcoins.
and in my country bitcoin is only made as an investment. but I don't know for the future, yes, hopefully next year there will be progress, which is better. so that many shops can accept payments using bitcoin.
There are still relatively few people who understand Bitcoin around and business owners are not as broad in scope so they may not be opening up other payment alternatives.
What is clear is that maybe the regulations in your country limit payments in other currencies so that even business owners who already have knowledge about bitcoin do not dare to violate the rules set by the government in your area because sanctions are usually imposed when they violate them.
Apart from that maybe you should also take part in the socialization of bitcoin in your area to accelerate the knowledge of the people around you like what OP did.
