I need some help:

I own part of an HVAC company with 30 employees. I want to switch our company to Square for payments so we can start accepting Bitcoin. We are too large and it has been too complicated to use some of the other solutions out there until now.

I want to begin educating our employees and technicians about Bitcoin. What are your best ideas to do that? Has anyone onboarded their employees to bitcoin?

I want to empower the employees via bitcoin, but have to do so in a way that recognizes that they will not have the knowledge or conviction that I have and will not be immune to volatility like I am.

Thoughts and ideas? Please repost. I'm sure I'm not the only one on #nostr wondering the best way to do this and I'm trying to find others who have done so successfully.

Each individual employee will have a different mindset about it. I suppose it depends if you want them to first understand why bitcoin ie. Why sound money over fiat.. bitcoin history, maybe some Saifedean books/ Parker Lewis blogs/ even consult with BTCPAY Server who deal with lots of bitcoin business.Or ..If you want them to just accept the change, it's just a case of familiarising them with the interface of a square terminal.

It’s very challenging to get someone to understand Bitcoin without them personally spending the time required.

Long term, Bitcoin needs to be something that people hold without having to put in the hundreds of hours since most people won’t do that.

Also, I meet very few people who will read a book let alone blue collar guys.

AmityAge hold regular academies that help 'teach the teacher'

Management --> mandatory training once a quarter (or whatever time frame you decide.

Standard technician --> has information relayed to from management.

Regardless I'd love to stay up to date with how this goes. Keep us posted

Buy them all a copy of Bitcoin Standard or similar book for Christmas.

Clayton 1mo ago

They almost assuredly won’t read it

Start simple with like special Bitcoin bonuses, if they setup a wallet and give the address. It will lead to self discovery and research.

I did a hiring bonus for an employee. Bought it when they were hired and the plan was to pay out on their 3 year anniversary. They turned out to be a bad fit for the company so I fired them at 6 months and they didn’t hit the earn out. That Bitcoin sits on the balance sheet now.

Haha nice

Don’t do it yourself. Bring in someone that can explain it to the group better than you. Then all you have to do is reinforce the presentation and deal with individual questions and concerns.

Clayton 1mo ago

There’s no one I personally know who could explain it better than I can

I have this thought a lot.

One of the best things you can do is to not be pushy but to offer employees options such as receiving a performance bonus in bitcoin or simply show them how easily they can receive part of their paycheck in bitcoin. You can introduce them to River, Strike, and Cash App, each have options to do this easily. Let them experience the growth over time. There is no substitute for seeing NGU happen to your own savings.

Thank you so much for the shoutout. nostr:nprofile1qqsrejpaq0dly04vm6ed064l7j5t8hp0p4dzjf8ah2pvmxpz2scm2mgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcg3dv8h we offer all our employees access to a free course to build a solid understanding of the basics of money, and Bitcoin.

It's extremely difficult to orange pill. They will find it when the time is ready. Switch to Square in order to accept BTC, so customers can pay, but employees will find it when ready.

Tess 1mo ago

I believe Square has a $600 limit at this time? Perfect for restaurants, might not be a good fit for HVAC services. I assume most clients want invoices too. Have you looked into Zaprite?

Clayton 1mo ago

Correct. Good point.

Tess 1mo ago

I’m not sure what HVAC fully encompasses but is considering heat reuse an option? AKA home mining.

That might be a more appealing angle than accepting bitcoin.

I’ve asked my pool guy about it for a pool heater and he got really excited at the idea. Don’t think he’s a bitcoiner, but the thought of him being able to offset costs for customers piqued his interest.
