Some time ago I wrote this post stating that I had been considering dedicating my work life to Bitcoin for quite some time and becoming a consultant for Bitcoin adoption.
Many comments were so encouraging that I decided to dive in headfirst and test the waters.
I chose to start with local businesses that I could eventually reach out to in person to speak face-to-face with the owners.
I compiled a list of businesses in my area (clubs, restaurants, hotels, merchants, etc.) that could be a good target and wrote a professional email to each of them (also trying to personalize the message where possible), explaining the consulting services I offered.
Less than a month later, out of about 35 emails sent, I received 0 responses.
Then, a small miracle happened.
The owner of a trendy restaurant in my area (known for gourmet hamburgers) responded, saying they might be interested but needed me to send a brief presentation to discuss internally before confirming.
I got to work on a brief but detailed PowerPoint where I explained at a high level what Bitcoin is, what problems it solves, and the benefits it can bring to businesses through its adoption.
After a few days, they contacted me asking for a first in-person meeting to delve deeper.
The first meeting went well; they knew almost nothing about Bitcoin but were very curious and enthusiastic.
I gathered some information about their current posture and their needs, and I presented an adoption plan that they agreed with.
I know it's a small start, a drop in the ocean, but as the saying goes, "all great things have small beginnings."
Thanks again to everyone who supported me, and let's hope things continue this way.
My mission is to orange-pill the whole world! ๐๐ช
