HBN is such a good pitch to your local pizza place or any local merchant. If you are friends/acquiantances with anyone like that, talk to them about BTC/HBN in tandem. I think if they realized they did $500 in business with Hobonickel, which is a small amount and not necessarily something a business person would need to cash out immediately, then they could actually be doubling their money in the long run. And with HBN, they can sell after 90 days, lets say, and make 2% 9 times before getting USD. If you could get 100 honest listeners of the local business persuasion to a conversation about BTC and HBN, i bet you could get more HBN accepters than BTC accepters.

Once a few hundred small town businesses are accepting Hobonickel, then we are in business, imo. Starbucks and Mcdonalds hasnt even happened for bitcoin yet, its way in teh future for us. Getting a local person to accept it could happen tomorrow.
