20 sats \ 15 replies \ @BlokchainB 24 Oct 2023 \ on: Maybe All you Need is to Ask - Do you Accept Bitcoin? ⚡️ bitcoin
I guess the fear/anxiety of being told no or being laughed out the building Keeps me from asking this question
Being ridiculed kinda reminds me of the quote,
"first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"
Maybe it should be,
"first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they go down the rabbit hole, then they get onboard"
It's not too bad - I'm gonna have to revisit where they laughed at me again.
Could be a good opportunity to expand the conversation - especially if they actively bring it up.

damn homie🫗
the one time I was brave enough to offer bitcoin payment the bar owner said “no. look my friends work on Ethereum, I know how bitcoin works” 💀

then I might order one more drink to show him the difference 😂😂😂
isn't a good time for you to "showoff" your knowledge?! haha
reply
I tried to show him Lightning wallet - u can’t force bitcoin on people if they aren’t listening to the signal. It becomes annoying lol
reply
I never force anyone for anything because I hate being forced too.
ofc you stop once you sense others are not paying attention, why waste your own time and not being appreciated.

yes, and make it it's like a normal thing to pay in sats, it's cool to accept.
reply
Conquer your fear because nothing will happen, but it could lead to many other fun! which reminds me that aren't men used to ask girls for numbers in the streets? and asking restaurants if they accept bitcoin is way less scary 😳
I dunno if you are a man, but hey they won't bite.

Trust me I had my moments of courage. I made a ton of lightsat cards and put them in a community center and a charity book box and didn’t get a single taker.
I get your point but rejection still sucks. I think this is why most Bitcoiners don’t even bother just stack sats and shy away from mentioning bitcoin

Adoption needs a market/community willing.
u can normally read the room and tell that most normies just ain’t ready 🥲

But Bitcoin is only useful if we get to use it. More people need to do the work out there, not expecting others to do it or just waiting for the price increase and then hoping others would use it.
Trust me I had my moments of courage.
why not try again 🤓

I hate religious door knockers - same picture.
