copypasta for every time a post like yours comes up:
Copied from the last time this came up:
> Please don't brigade their customer service representatives with copypasta requests to accept Bitcoin, especially if you have no intention of actually using their service should they begin to accept Bitcoin.
>Too many merchants have complained that they receive 500 requests to accept Bitcoin, and when they finally accede to "market demand" and begin accepting BTC, they receive one sale.
>If you want to spend your BTC at a company, ask them. But don't go around to every merchant yelling TAKE BITCOIN TAKE BITCOIN if you don't intend to spend your BTC once they start accepting it.
>Because then it's worse than if they hadn't accepted it in the first place. Before, they were skeptical but indifferent about Bitcoin. After, they are adamantly against it as they realize they implemented an entirely new currency not because there is market demand for its use, but because someone wanted to artificially increase the value of their magic internet money.
>What tends to happen is that people go around saying "do you accept bitcoin? If you do I'll support your business if you don't I'll support your competitors."
>So the business owner researches bitcoin, talks to an accountant (honestly, the people saying "taking bitcoin is as easy as copy and pasting a line of code" have never run a business, and certainly not been in an executive position with a board, stakeholders, etc) calls their developer and has them implement it, and trains their employees in how to handle it, and then that first person who said they would spend it is already gone telling your neighbor the same spiel.
>Literally twice a month I have someone email my customer support saying "do you accept bitcoin? If you do I will definitely support you!" And then the CSR responds that we've accepted bitcoin for two years now, and the customer is never heard from again.
>To a business owner (or frankly anyone who is moderately conscious), these people going around telling businesses to accept Bitcoin have no intention of spending Bitcoin, they just want to artificially inflate the perceived utility of their magic internet money.
>I have yet to have someone say "do you accept Bitcoin", have my CSR say "why yes we do!", and have the customer actually make a purchase.
