Those are my apprentices not my customers.. In my country Bitcoin isn't legalized yet so I don't want to have this on a billboard or signboard just yet, as for those saying I need to do more to inspire people do not forget the risks involved.

There is no point inspiring those that show no interest in something that's highly volatile, I only lecture those that are open to new ideas and are not scared of taking risks.

I don't have to become a vendor I am just promoting Bitcoin, I have 80% of my money invested in crypto and it's been a long time coming, this was what even inspired my customers, asking me questions and telling me to teach them.

Merit fishing you say? I hope this forum implements video uploading someday so forum members will see a lot more, I have 5 apprentices and 1 was behind the camera taking my picture with 2 of my apprentice, do I look too young to be interacting with Bitcoin? You have no idea.

Maybe other people who want bad intention can use that so much better to put water mark on those pic with the name or forum name of OP so that no one can stole it easily.


I guess it's just one of the impressions about your thread where previously the same idea has also been posted by other people. You know, everyone has a different perspective on other people's endeavors, but we never really know what's in your heart. I don't think there's anything wrong with that impression, but don't use it as an excuse why you should lose motivation and move on with your adoption efforts.

Well somehow that's what the post mean but it really deserve since effort has been made for spreading the word of bitcoin on his neighborhood. Hopefully OP will not doing it because he was hype up by bitcoin and continue this for more better awareness about it on his place.

Bitcoin not being recognized as an official payment method does not make bitcoin illegal. It's only illegal if a law has been passed that says so. There is a clear distinction. Banks and especially central banks might not like cryptocurrencies but if the government doesn't forbid it, there shouldn't be a problem if businesses accept it.

Taxes are a different issue though. The local tax authority isn't going to allow you to not pay your taxes. I wonder what would happen if inspection comes to your shop to look at your books and they notice that 'Bitcoin Accepted' sign? It would be even worse if they catch one of your clients leaving the shop without a receipt, proof of payment and paid taxes. That's something worth thinking about to avoid hefty fines. I have no idea how those things work in your area of living, but you should check it out.

So what do you think is the much safer way? Are you saying it's better not to post pictures at all?

It is a good aspiration and should be exemplified by other tailors, the payment method in Bitcoin is a method that many entrepreneurs businesses aspire to, maybe you are one of the sewing entrepreneurs who have succeeded in making payments in Bitcoin.

I once read a sewing business entrepreneur who lives in London, he is Artefact London becomes world's first tailor to accept crypto payments, hope your, can also succeed like Artefact, maybe you want to also add some other cryptocurrencies like what Artefact London did.

Maybe you can also take a little experience from Artefact London, so that you become the most entrepreneur, the most successful sewing business in your country as a recipient of crypto in your business.

Congratulations. Making any dream into reality is a wonderful thing that one can be proud of. It sounds like you’re doing your part to help spread adoption and provide a use case for crypto. I think people like you have always driven Bitcoin’s success and I’m glad to see that people are still continuing to give their effort to helping build this community with new and motivated users.

You can expand your buisness by first selling bitcoin to people and then they can buy stuff with the bitcoin at your store. This will make it way easier for people to get into bitcoin, since adoption especially for every day users is still quite low.

First of all, I wish to appreciate you on your new initiative of accepting Bitcoin on your fashion designer business, because you can never understand the freedom Bitcoin offers until you used it on your day to day business, which you just started. And secondly, who do you think will teach those around your locality about Bitcoin if you don't do so? Or who do you think will help convince those who see Bitcoin as scam that it's indeed legit if you don't do so. So as a member of this forum, it is our duty to spread the knowledge of Bitcoin in our various locality of which you just started. So that was a good job

Bitcoin is illegal for transactions in your country? Or it is not recognized as a legal tender in your country by some reasons? If bitcoin is illegal as a payment on a transaction in your country, It would be better to pause your transactions with Bitcoin first. I'm not ruining a dream here but it would be better than to be in jail because you accepted bitcoin as a payment for something. But if it is not considered as a legal tender, I don't see wrong with accepting it. You can't be put on jail as long as it is not indicated that crypto transactions is not allowed or morelikely banned in your country. I don't know the laws in your country but I could suggest to try looking for it since you can level up your dream by promoting bitcoin in your store legally.
