A few days ago, I asked my barber whether or not they would accept Bitcoin as payment and I would even give a 20% extra. Imagine what they said? They said : No. Does this make sense? I mean, money is money and with 20% extra they definitely do not have to worry about short term price volatility before they take the Bitcoin and exchange it for fiat. But it really does seem like people misunderstand it and are therefore afraid of using Bitcoin. Even when offered a nice deal.
So the question should really be: how do we get people who are afraid to move away from the old money system (fiat) to adopt Bitcoin?
When asked why they are so skittish around Bitcoin, I noticed many have the same answer: too many scammers in the crypto space. This and the complexity for newbies seems to be the likely biggest problem
Most of them still afraid to accept a new thing and that is normal if people don't want to accept Bitcoin as a payment. They don't see the physical but only the number in their wallet so that make them feel not confident. They also doubt if Bitcoin can be additional payment system like fiat so they refuse to accept Bitcoin. It need more education to them so they can accept the new thing as a payment method.
Too many scammers in the crypto space could be another reason why they don't want to accept Bitcoin. It also need declaration from the government that their people can accept Bitcoin as a payment so their people will not doubt or afraid using Bitcoin. That is the important thing but I am not sure when the government want to do that.
