Your story might be real but it doesn't seem so to me and one of the best way to show that something like this actually happened, hope you don't mind sharing your transaction details because who actually gets excited to get debited ?
And you spending 4 hours to teach the seller how to receive their payment when you can simply just sell or swap to fiat and pay for your goods, don't get me wrong, I'm not against spending bit on directly without having to swap but I've seen several cases of how some persons where innocently labelled as scammers simply for using bitcoin and it would be very difficult to get a store just suddenly accept a new payment option from a new buying client especially when they're not familiar with the system.

The shopkeeper may have had some knowledge about Bitcoin long ago, otherwise the shopkeeper agreed to accept payment through Bitcoin from you. Maybe he did not know about payments, but he knew about Bitcoin. But thank you for teaching him about Bitcoin and Bitcoin transactions through a long period of practice and also taught him how the wallet works and how to accept payments and store them safely. Yes, Bitcoin transactions can be complicated for those who are new to it, but it is easy for those who learn and gain experience. However, if you do not have proper knowledge in transactions, you may be a victim of fraud in accepting payments.

You must be very happy at achieving your aim and helping teach whose is struggling with getting more facts about understanding Bitcoin and how it works., what a wonderful experience.

"Bitcoin is far above just transactions, this is one important aspect of it that one cannot do without, if you chose to send and receive bitcoin, you must have a wallet and protect it properly to avoid lost or stolen of your wallet keys, passwords, seed phares and others to avoid theft .

Bitcoin transactions can only be successful if both persons involved in the transactions uses Bitcoin if not it will be very difficult.

It is very true that even this day many people don't know much about Bitcoin, they don't even know how to setup a personal wallet. Majority of people who somehow use Bitcoin as payment method often rely on exchanges as they are not technically good to run their own wallet software and they don't have any knowledge about personal wallets.

It is needed to educate our friends and loved ones about Bitcoin and how it works so they can understand it. We must have to keep in mind that not everyone is technically good so those who are not technically good might haven't heard about Bitcoin, and even if they have heard about it they don't know how it works. So it makes sense to teach such people about Bitcoin and tell them how it works.

This story sounds confusing to me. So basically the electronics shop, where you decided to pay with Bitcoin has no Bitcoin wallet? WTF?
That particular electronics shop accepts BTC payments, but the female, who works there as a cashier knows nothing about Bitcoin?
This doesn't make any sense. You should elaborate more on this.


You do have patience. I definitely won't waste 4 hours of my life trying to explain how BTC/crypto works to a person, who knows nothing about cryptocurrencies. 4 hours seems like a lot. Was she an elderly person? I do believe that Bitcoin can be explained to a person in less than one hour. Did you teach her about BTC mining, hash rates, cryptography, hardforks/softforks and the other "super complex" stuff around Bitcoin?
