Op you should be aware that there's a difference between owing a business and being employed by someone so also there are level to which you can take risk.

I have seen so many threads in this forum about how they are now accepting Bitcoin in their businesses but one thing that I noticed is that those people own those businesses and if anything should go wrong nobody's going to o blame them or sue them to court for certain action they did. I believe the reason why your director accepted your idea of accepting Bitcoin as a payment option was because you told him about the advantages that's involved did you by any chance let him know the disadvantages that are also involved? Like I said earlier owing a business and working for someone are not the same because if any problem should arise you'll be the one they'll point accusing finger to. I also wish you the best and the grace for you to owe your own someday.

You don't need more advice as you already did what you think is right and suggested it to your director. Let that time of informing your customers see the result of that survey you're doing if many of them will respond positively.
Not just because you've announced that you'll accept bitcoin, many customers will be on it already. That's not how it goes but not that much also will change if you adopt that as you've given the customers more payment method choices.

thank you very much for that information to be a successful business man you must take risk but I agree with you not telling my director about the disadvantage is not a good one but I believe all will go fine when it come to stay.

This is the highest joke of the century, you not telling the owner of a business the risk involved in bitcoin payment is a big turn-off, and I advise you to take time to educate the director about everything regarding bitcoin because leaving the director in the dark may not go well if things go side way and there is a need to wait for something, and as a business that offers retails services such as supermarket, there will not have plans to hold Bitcoin for the long term, but to hold as a currency for exchange and daily payments.
So it os advisable you teach the director everything he needs to know both advantages and the disadvantages.

I don't think op will face any issues regarding this. Also OP shared the idea with his director about the implementation of bitcoin. I think bitcoin payment has potential in OP's locality which is why they are going to think about this.

OP I don't know what advice you are seeking here, but if you want to know about the idea of implementing bitcoin as a payment in your store, I would say it is a great move if only people want to pay with bitcoin. But I have checked the pictures and I don't think people will have any interest to pay with bitcoin for small transactions. But you can always test it.

I would like to know what will happen to you when Bitcoin price decrease for 50% because your owner will think he's not making money by accepting Bitcoin, but actually he's lose and it just wasting his time to add Bitcoin payment.

You might get promoted and have a good relationship with your owner if accepting Bitcoin payment do increase selling rate of the product. You can give an update whenever your owner angry with you or he's happy with your idea.

It is what happened in El Salvador after Bitcoin Day 3 years ago. 1 year after Bitcoin Day in El Savaldor, poll shows that (read below) and I believe it only got worse later when Bitcoin fell down more.

Majority of El Salvadorians do not want Bitcoin, poll shows
The use of bitcoin in El Salvador appears to be low, as the currency has lost about 60% of its value since the experiment started

Mini stores that accept Bitcoin will have same problems. How they will store those Bitcoin in long term but still be able to manage the store operation and financial budget.

You must inform your customers who frequently shop at your place that you have started accepting bitcoin as an alternative payment to fiat. Maybe you can also put up a banner or sticker for paying bitcoin available here so that people who pass in front of your shop can also see it and try to buy things in your shop using bitcoins.

You have gotten permission from your director and now it's time to get everything ready before you start implementing those bitcoin payments. It would be better if you could also explain how to use bitcoins to your customers who don't understand about them so that there is interest in using them too.

It looks like you're from Nigeria, right? I have a question, do you already know about bitcoin, but does your director know about bitcoin? Because I am quite surprised if he does not know what it is, he cannot quickly accept your offer. He is the director of a business, so he will be very cautious and calculate everything reasonably so as not to lose or damage his business. I'm really surprised that he accepted without first considering your offer.

So, how do you do it?
Because you posted normal pictures from a store, not pictures showing how you accept bitcoins, how people pay for it, or one customer using that payment option. These are genuine questions, what wallet do you use, what do you use to convert the prices from naira to BTC, do you use LN or on-chain transactions, how do you deal with confirmation time if it's the second? As others said, it's easy to propose something when you're not the one at risk of losing money.


Yeah, everything will be fine, this statement sounds like you're asking for it.


So, which one is it?
