So I’ve finally taken the step to accept BTC at my business.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>And no one really cares. </p> <p>I run a motorcycle workshop dealing with usually fairly large job such as race bike conversions, crash damage etc and I recently took the jump to accepting BTC payments. </p> <p>I launched this on my website along with the Facebook and Twitter pages. I also have added it to my invoices and even mention it as a payment mention to anyway who asks over the phone/in person. I have a 10% discount for any invoice paid in Bitcoin for the first 10 customers. </p> <p>It’s been 6 months now and every time without fail it is “I’ll pay by card please”. Not one person has shown any interest in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general. </p> <p>It’s strange because in the circles I’m in (including this sub), crypto is a part of every day life and it’s easy to think this carries over to the general public. </p> <p>For now at least I think we are still so far away from mainstream adoption. Especially with my usual customer stereotype - 40’s and somewhat successful. </p> <p>I’ll keep trying and see how it goes. </p> <p>Maybe I need to start accepting doge and get to work fixing scooters instead!</p> <p>Edit: doge not dodge - autocorrect but it’s not far wrong.</p> <p>Second edit: </p> <p>Thanks for all your help and comments on this post. As a direct result of you fine people I’m now in the process of changing all the marketing to “Now accepting BTC and other cryptocurrencies”.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/-CatFunt"> /u/-CatFunt </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/u5tv72/so_ive_finally_taken_the_step_to_accept_btc_at_my/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/u5tv72/so_ive_finally_taken_the_step_to_accept_btc_at_my/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
