if you are a merchant and want more bitcoin customers, always offer a discount for BTC payment (it doesn't matter if is 5 or 10 or 20%).
agree, that's what I used to do, but then I just changed a bit to see how things work this time:)
As a merchant you have to satisfy all types of clients. Otherwise, slowly you will lose.
Another example is that you could add an extra % to the final sum, if the customer choose to pay with fiat rails/VISA/MC, to make them to feel the pain of using fiat.
When they will see that in fiat is even more expensive than BTC (discounted) then will think twice.

at least cash preserves privacy.. Btc in vault and cash in your pocket. Ther's another problem now... or two: scaling and exchanging.
yes, what I do is pay cash in random shops where I don't see myself going back again, but I try to pill the shops that I like and go to all the time.
Where are the customers (probably 95% of the population at this stage) that only know about fiat, maybe click "sats" for curiosity, satisfy a willingness to learn more, just to find another boring QR code they try to scan with their phone and does nothing?
are you having a bad day? do you want to see more junks in the saloon or someone actually doing the work and sharing the observation.
... just imagining a fiat customer going through a Pay with BTC option

There are some circumstances here that should be taken in consideration:
