what's stopping you from accepting Bitcoin for your business transactions?
Let me speak for most according to my observations
1. Ignorance about Bitcoin
2. Demonization of Bitcoin by their Governments and Central banks. Some countries still deem Bitcoin as illegal.
3. Some of them feel or think that the process using or carrying out Bitcoin transactions is too technical for a layman
4. Yes we are in 2025 but some business lack the infrastructure to accept online payments. Shocking, innit?
The issues you raised are very real and relatable especially for people in rural regions with limited access to internet. Some of these business owners the areas I mentioned don't even believe in Bitcoin is existence. To them, it is an illusion that has no physical backing (like gold or land), so they call it imaginary money that can disappear to thin air which is why they don't wanna adopt it.
As a freelancer, accepting money in Bitcoin haven't been my problem, infact, I prefer being paid in Bitcoin than in fiat. That said, I think it's important that we continue to sensitize as many people as possible about Bitcoin so they'll also join in adopting it.
