So I’ve finally taken the step to accept BTC at my business.

And no one really cares.

I run a motorcycle workshop dealing with usually fairly large job such as race bike conversions, crash damage etc and I recently took the jump to accepting BTC payments.

I launched this on my website along with the Facebook and Twitter pages. I also have added it to my invoices and even mention it as a payment mention to anyway who asks over the phone/in person. I have a 10% discount for any invoice paid in Bitcoin for the first 10 customers.

It’s been 6 months now and every time without fail it is “I’ll pay by card please”. Not one person has shown any interest in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general.

It’s strange because in the circles I’m in (including this sub), crypto is a part of every day life and it’s easy to think this carries over to the general public.

For now at least I think we are still so far away from mainstream adoption. Especially with my usual customer stereotype - 40’s and somewhat successful.

I’ll keep trying and see how it goes.

Maybe I need to start accepting doge and get to work fixing scooters instead!

Edit: doge not dodge - autocorrect but it’s not far wrong.

Second edit:

Thanks for all your help and comments on this post. As a direct result of you fine people I’m now in the process of changing all the marketing to “Now accepting BTC and other cryptocurrencies”.
