Several weeks have passed and people tried the bytes as a method of payment in several shops in my city that dared to accept cryptocurrencies! (in this case the bytes)
And I would like to report on the experience of these people, both customers and merchants.
I went to the business again to talk to the owners and listen to their stories:
All agreed on one thing: use crypto is better and faster than using banking platforms. The transaction is done in a matter of seconds and you can see the money in your account quickly.
(Unlike the venezuela banking platforms that sometimes have to try for up to 20 minutes to open them ... And it takes up to 1 day to get the money in your account if it is from different banks)
Making payment with Bytes or with Cryptocurrency better than using banks in Venezuela ...
As they proved it and they were shown that accepting bytes works ... they gave me the following recommendation:
--- Schedule a day to train all business employees
With "train" I mean to teach all workers how byteball works, so that they are able to receive and pay with bytes, without the need of the owner of the shop being present.
In this way we achieve more diffusion of the cryptocurrencies as payment method and more people will start to know the cryptocurrencies.
And so it will be, I learned from the recommendation and what we will do is the following:
Each shop that starts accepting crypto will be given a workshop or "training" on cryptocurrencies to the employees, so that everyone can learn about this subject and be able to pay and receive payments with crypto.
This training will be scheduled to 3 days after the site is willing to accept payments with cryptocurrencies.
The owners of the businesses were happy and glad to be part of the first tests and all of them will continue to accept Bytes as payment method ... And soon they will also accept other cryptocurrencies like STEEM
I also contacted the people who were sent 1 $ of Bytes to try the payment method and here I write some of their stories:
@Malos10: Tell me your story using byteball ... Would you use it again? Any recommendations to improve? Is it better than using the banks in Venezuela?
Customer 1: The truth is that Byteball seems very good, you have to see the stability of the crypto but obviously it is better than the bolivar.
It can be a very good way to save money or even increase its value.
The form of payment also seems very good, it is simpler than a bank transfer and can be done from the phone.
Unlike bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, the confirmation of the money is very fast, in a matter of minutes and the commissions are very low .... We do not have to suffer with "wait 2 days for the transfer to confirm"
And with regard to the bank cards, it is not as comfortable as a card, since you can carry it in your wallet and then not all people have smartphones, however the cards also have their problems, mainly the lack of stability in the line, there are Sometimes the card passes quickly but sometimes I waited more than half an hour waiting for the card to pass.
So if you can get people to buy Bytes with Bolivares easily and without many commissions, as you have stated before and if you can get more businesses to accept Bytes, it would be great, you could achieve success in Venezuela.
Another story:
@Malos10: Tell me your story using byteball ... Would you use it again? Any recommendations to improve? Is it better than using the banks in Venezuela?
Client 2: The truth is that this form of payment seems very great for two reasons:
The first: because it is super simple to use; just scan the QR code and place the amount to transfer.
The second: Because you can confirm that the money fell immediately, unlike a bank transfer that may take days to arrive ...
The other great thing is that the payments are made in cryptocurrencies which means that we do not lose money in commissions or the Bolivares devalue so quickly because of the inflation that Venezuela is going through.
It could even generate us some additional gains if the cryptocurrency gets to rise.
I really liked the experience and I would like to continue using Bytes as payment method.
Another story:
@Malos10: Tell me your story using byteball ... Would you use it again? Any recommendations to improve? Is it better than using the banks in Venezuela?
Client 3: It is fast and safe. you dont give your password or your data, just transfer your bytes and that's it. Yes I would use it again.
Really in a country like Venezuela, paying with cryptocurrencies is a very viable alternative and that presents the solution to many of the problems that we face on a daily basis when paying for anything.
The time to change and evolve is now ... And crypto are the next step!
