Definitely sounds like the right approach. I always try to ask, "You guys don''t accept Bitcoin (yet), do you?" And if they say No, then just just smile and move on– but planting the seed is enough! If enough people ask, they maybe eventually they will get the bug and do the work on their own to start to look into it.
But like you mentioned, if you really push adoption and convince someone who is skeptical to accept Bitcoin, then they go through the setup and cost of doing it and then no one actually pays with Bitcoin, it can be counterproductive! They feel like they were right to be skeptical.
Baby steps! Plant the seeds, the rest will follow 🌱
