I've tried, and unfortunately have failed, I will try goldbacks instead.
Seriously, tell me.
Tell me:
1. What the merchant does?
2. How you made him the offer?
3. How he rejected the offer?
The more details - the better.
I've talked about Bitcoin to the merchants, one was a hair cut place, another a taco place.
They were concerned about tax liability, abd fees.
The fact that they are considering taxes may also indicate that they do not know/trust you. And it's normal. As an entrepreneur, you never know when the government will send its dogs to tear you apart.
In a situation like the one you described, the easiest option is to explain to the merchant that if they want to pay tax so badly, they should take _n_ fiat out of their wallet and put it in the cash register.
That is, hypothetically, you bought a haircut service for $50, sent $50 to any cryptocurrency that the merchant likes, and the merchant takes $50 out of his wallet and puts it in the cash register. This way, everyone will be happy:
* you (the customer): pay for goods/services with crypto
* the merchant: sells you a service for crypto, thereby opening the door to other people who want to pay with crypto; and the fact that they put their $50 into the cash register = nothing changes for them in terms of accounting/taxation
* the state: robs the merchant of taxes
You so down with him. Give it and him time.
I actually did. I bought a solar powered meshtastic node from a local person and got them to accept #Monero through nostr:nprofile1qqs0cpan3knpzta7dn2wpyas2l976yyxjfc9rqt88uedt4qw4h4dfkgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7gssffq
This is the way. 🫡
