good points. I think the most important thing is to be kind and patient. Not everyone "gets it" or has the time or interest.
As a customer, I like to just always *ask* any business I'm paying if they accept bitcoin. I don't feel the need to throw them down the rabbit hole. We're still early. Planting a seed and answering questions is my vibe. If they get a couple more customers asking to pay in bitcoin, then they might start thinking about it.
But I've seen quick adoption go poorly. Hard-core bitcoiners talk someone into accepting bitcoin, then they get zero customers paying in bitcoin.
This bootstrapping catch-22 is talked about a lot by the guys who try to start circular economies.
