How many times have you asked a merchant/shop if they accept Bitcoin Cash?

5+

Think I should try some more.

lost count.
What I do now is tip staff, let them nag the merchant.
The area I live has many backpackers, once they hear they can use it when they go 'home' they want it.
Much easier.

"let them nag the merchant". That means you get the staff to ask the merchant to accept crypto?
replied 2205d
yes.
when merchants see staff get tipped it gets them curious
especially with handcash or cointext.
I've been surprised at how many people 'know' about crypto &have always wanted some.

I am also surprised how many people are very happy about receiving their first Bitcoins.
replied 2205d
I tip in BCH all the time and a constant nag. Thank goodness for the rise
replied 2205d
and when the price rises
the people who have been tipped provide *THE BEST* service :)

What do you mean by they can use it when they go home? You can't use crypto that many places.
replied 2205d
varies, French girl is travelling through Asia on her way back2 FR, Bali has a few places that accept BCH.
Another mentioned some cafes in her town accept it,
XHousemate used it in US.

he reluctantly used my Lamassu when I was setting it up at home, "put in $20" (BTC was $100 at the time).
When he returned from US.. "thanks, that came in handy."
replied 2205d
he used in a taxi when he didn't have US$, somebody else in the taxi happily took his BTC and paid the driver
I give up 'knowing' how it will be used by people.

Cool! I actually did this at a meetup once. Then I saw a VLOG #3 by Roger Ver, where I says he will give a tip in Bitcoin Cash. Pretty awesome idea!

responses have surprised me, particularly young girls..
one "oh yeah my friend has been trading for a while, she loves it"
Me, "well, you can show her this new wallet"
