I have an idea to help accelerate Bitcoin adoption. It’s so simple, but I think it could be really effective if enough people started doing it. So, here is the idea and hopefully we can start a movement together.

Any time you go to pay for something, ask if they accept Bitcoin. I get it, it doesn’t even really sound like a new idea, much less a good one, but play it out. You’re in the drive thru at McDonalds and as you’re reaching for your card to pay, you just ask, “do y’all accept Bitcoin?” as if it’s the payment method you would prefer. You already know they don’t in this case, that’s not the point. All you’re doing is planting the seed in the employee’s mind. The first time they get asked, they may just say “huh?” and never think of it again. But by the second or third time they gets asked, they will inevitably start to question why, suddenly, they are getting asked this and wonder why people are wanting to pay in Bitcoin or just what Bitcoin even is. At some point, when it sparks their curiosity, they will either take the time to look into Bitcoin themselves or ask you and give you a chance to point them in the right direction.

If I’m the only one doing it maybe I’ll eventually add an individual or two to the Bitcoin network. But imagine if the entire Bitcoin community made a habit out of doing this? Any time you’re about to pay at a business, just ask if they accept Bitcoin. Obviously, the answer will usually be no and that’s okay. Thats all you have to do. Just getting the word Bitcoin in more minds will help bring on more individuals, but if this practice became commonplace enough, I think it would speed up the process of Bitcoin becoming a medium of exchange.

The way I see it, it can only help. If a business goes from nobody asking them about Bitcoin as a payment option to, all of a sudden, 10 customers asked in the last month, now they are strongly incentivized to do their due diligence and at a minimum find out why people are asking. “Why are people asking to pay with Bitcoin?” “What is Bitcoin?” “Is Bitcoin money?” You’re steering them towards the rabbit hole. There is so much great orange-pill content on the internet, but we have to get it in front of the eyes of the ignorant or unconvinced.

I really believe this targeted grass-roots effort to accelerate Bitcoin adoption could make a huge impact if we all got on board together. Who’s with me?
