Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to the community today with the following message: For Bitcoin to succeed in the long term, I believe it’s critical that more businesses begin accepting Bitcoin for goods and services, invest in Bitcoin, and actively drive its adoption.

Last fall, I had the opportunity to discuss this topic with Bitcoin pioneers like Nick Szabo and Adam Back, as well as gather feedback from Jack Mallers. My focus has been on identifying ways to help businesses leverage Bitcoin more effectively. Entrepreneurs are savvy—they quickly recognize the long-term risks of holding fiat currencies. The policies of the central banks will ultimately propel Bitcoin toward mainstream adoption.

Through conversations with numerous business owners, I’ve observed emerging interest in Bitcoin and many are starting to grasp its value proposition. However, the primary obstacle remains the perceived lack of consumer demand for Bitcoin payments—a fair concern from their perspective. Nick Szabo stressed Bitcoin’s potential to streamline cross-border payments, otherwise I've observed use-cases in industries like online gambling and anonymity-focused services (e.g., casinos, adult entertainment).

A few months ago, I launched BitcoinForBusiness.org with the goal of helping companies integrate Bitcoin. The project is still in its early stages and relies on community input. My goals with this post are to:

• Gather recommendations for a successful market entry strategy.
• Connect with businesses open to accepting Bitcoin.
• Learn from success stories of entrepreneurs who’ve grown with Bitcoin.
• Find partners and investors to help scale the initiative.

I warmly welcome any advice, contacts, or ideas you can share.

Thank you in advance, and best regards,
B4B (Bitcoin for Business)
