So yes, as a business considering the value of accepting the coin outright vs a smart idea to increase my PROFIT some, there is a lot to consider. No business, starting with investors--whether their own money or others, is going to risk going red on revenue (or more red as many business do not make profit for years), to grab a few more customers(and yes, us cryptos are still a small minority in the world view of customers or even in the Colorado view of customers). To take a cut of profit and gamble that it becomes more profit is a risk a CEO and CFO can get behind. While you might not be thinking on a corp level, even small pot shops have people behind them trying to make money with business minds and in many cases educations. These are serious considerations.
In the long term you are completely right. In the short term, and getting people to start with it, I disagree. If you are considering countries that it is completely legitimate in, that is a completely different question. I was just suggesting an idea, that might get more people on board. Not trying to discredit the idea of it as a 100% pay currency. It is perfect for this emerging industry, but the implications are very different depending what country and economic impact you are considering. Selling the idea to Amsterdam with long established businesses vs Colorado with weeks to months old businesses are completely different playing fields. Both may be interested and stand to profit, but how you sell it to an invested party in different markets will make or break their interest. I want this to succeed, so yes, I submit an idea beyond 'possibly' saving on credit card fees for another path for the dev's to market toward potential businesses.
I wonder if a business might be willing to take a limited amount in and then use it for something like employee bonuses instead of giving out cash. I'm thinking in small amounts, like a quick 'atta boy, here's 100 pot coins, thanks' type of a deal. It would need to be the right sort of business with employees who get what crypto is. Might be a way to start out though. Perhaps accepting it just for the shipping charge on a business who ships goods.
