Square did their part, now letโ€™s do ours. For bitcoin to become everyday money, merchants need to accept it. But first, theyโ€™ll need a reason to. We've put together the resources to help anyone make the case that only bitcoin can defeat credit card fees: These resources include persuasive leave-behind materials that bitcoiners can bring to local businesses, from subtle, home printer-friendly handouts to bold, attentionโ€‘grabbing combo pieces like, uh, a plushie with impeccable penmanship. But no matter how good a leave-behind is, itโ€™s better with a face. Included with each leave-behind is a playbook for you that includes stepโ€‘byโ€‘step guidance for how to make the bitcoin case to merchants. We hope for this community to be an open and independent group with a simple goal: bitcoin payment adoption among merchantsโ€”regardless of which point-of-sale solution they prefer. Itโ€™s also where all of the resources weโ€™ve mentioned so far can be found for free. For now, if you want the plushie combo, you'll have to pick it up at @bitcoinpark_ in Austin and Nashville, @atlbitlab, @SpaceDenver, and @PresidioBitcoin. This might change, though. Who can say? Bitcoin is weird and itโ€™s only getting weirder.
