Adoption of bitcoin payment system is now going more bigger and better unlike before, since so many online platforms e been accepting their payment in bitcoin and same applies to those that have been in the physical form and locations, maybe we could attribute the recent increase in such manners as a result of the governments acceptance of bitcoin reserve and inclusion into their treasury.

Followed by the increased market price as a result of bullrun, but as an overall assessment, bitcoin has been well to do in performance and many couldn't resist investing in it as well as accepting it for their service payment, now that governments are more lenient in their regulations.

That’s an eye-opening experience! You discovered a small shop that not only carries Bitcoin in its name but actively accepts it as payment and understands its investment potential. In a rural area where Bitcoin adoption is rare and internet access can be unreliable, this shop owner is pushing boundaries, proving that Bitcoin can function as a real currency, not just an asset. Despite government regulations, their commitment to using Bitcoin shows a growing awareness and determination to integrate it into everyday transactions.

I could be different but I don't want anyone knows that I have bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The practice of entering such places, and proactively asking for such information or paying some stuffs with bitcoin or altcoin potentially bring more curious eyes on me and puts me at higher risk. I don't want to put myself at risk by my own practice so practically I avoid to pay things directly with bitcoin.

You never know what will happen next after you exit a store or a local area and you never can exclude that some bad guys are waiting for you around such stores. So let be as most cautious and carefully as possible, you don't lose anything by doing this, while you can get many benefit in return. So why take risk?

I agree that such stores contribute to Bitcoin adoption and they need to have customers actually use bitcoins for payments too, but if it is about me, I avoid this practice.

Maybe he got that impression its because this is maybe the first time he see a merchant in their village accept Bitcoin as mode of payment.

Seeing that it seems that there's already growing adoption happening in his place. This is somehow shows that people became adoptive on new payment option and think about that its great to add Bitcoin in their small businesses.

This is indeed a good news and provably that more merchants in his place would add a banner that they also accept Bitcoin.

I don't think so, I have also come across businesses or services that accept bitcoin, very few, but it is because the one who runs it is a bitcoiner and enables that payment option. In general, paying for pizza, coffee or whatever, with bitcoin and keeping the fiat, is not very smart.

It could be the businessman’s means of accumulating bitcoins. He himself has learnt about Bitcoin and has put in place means to educate others and also earn some bitcoins. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out that Bitcoin is legal in that country and that stores can accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.

Seeing someone display Bitcoin openly like that shows it is legal, so why the surprise? He is a smart business man and a business investor. In no distant time and we will see more of that at every corners.

I am no digital linguistic expert or something but when I read the bitcoin whitepaper, I believe Satoshi thought bitcoin would be a digital currency people would transact on buying and selling things. But the price inflated more than he could have imagined.

There are a few problems in implementing bitcoin as merchant coin namely transaction fees and speed. Compared to like 2 years ago, bitcoin network is much more stable, fees cheaper thanks to segwit. I didn't had to pay more than $1 in each of the transactions I made this year, though the wait was longer. Yet, $1 fee and a few hours wait is not ideal for bitcoin to be used as merchant coin.

It's where lightning network may play a role, even though its here for long and the adoption very slow, I have seen more and more merchants and as a result users using lightning network which could make bitcoin a merchant coin in long run.

Aside bitcoin volatility challenge, there are small retail shops whose owners would be willing to accept payments in bitcoin but are only impeded by the government policy on ground in that country concerning bitcoin. And by virtue of the shop owners not wanting government trouble they just restrain from involving bitcoin payments in their list except for geographies where the restrictions are not that strict. But it's enticing to see that bitcoin awareness hav really spread this wide.

Totally still depends because if we do speak about getting up a permit then you do expect that there would be those matters too included in regarding about taxation on which means if your business is that including up another payment option then you are obliged on reporting or listing out everything in regarding about into the transaction or sales. If it turned out that you would be trying out to be evasive then we do know on what are the consequences that you might be able to experience ahead. If your country doesnt care up that much or still neutral when it comes to crypto but we do know that when it comes into this situation or in regarding about in overall recognition and adoption kind of acts or things around that we do see then it do give out that kind of boost and confidence in regarding about into the potential that we do able to see on Bitcoin. There will be those places on which they do have that adoption and recognition towards Bitcoin or crypto.

Here in our place on which there are already tons of shops that accepting Bitcoin or crypto as a payment but in my personal case on which I dont spend up my coins that much as long i can be able to spend up my fiat then i would be using it rather than on finding myself having that kind of spending towards into my precious coins but of course having these options does give out that tons of options for you to be able make use on the time that you dont have any money into your pocket or simply having that kind of choices or last resort if there's no any, but as much as possible i would be that wanting or liking to save up my coins as much as I could because we do know on what are the potential that it could give out on just simply holding up your position. Never tend to waste up those precious coins but well it will be just that basing up into someones approach or actions.

I believe the owner of the store knows the law and know that Bitcoin is accepted in their country. If it is illegal then it would be dumb for the owner to advertise that he is accepting Bitcoin on the tarpaulin displayed right on the possibly corner of the road.


True, due to jealousy and competition, people will tip their rival to authority if they find something illegal done by their competitor. So to avoid this circumstance, always follow the regulation of the country.


True so as a businessman, don't cross the boundaries and always follow the regulation.  No matter how support something if it is deems illegal in our country, we better be careful and don't break the law.


Even if it is your friend, if it is illegal in your country, better not engage with it to avoid any problem in the future.  But if it is allowed then by all means trade with any people you know.

It is not surprising to see stores in rural area supporting Bitcoin by accepting it as payment options.  The internet is almost everywhere now, so for sure, any area reached by the internet, there will be a Bitcoin enthusiast.
