Before I pay someone (garage sale, Craigslist/FBMP, tradesman, business), I have started asking them whether they take cryptocurrency. One of two things happens every time:

1. They laugh and spend the rest of the day telling everyone else they had a guy ask them if they take cryptocurrency.

2. They say no, and think about whether or not they should start.

The adoption of cryptocurrency has a supply and demand. Show the small businesses you frequent that there is a demand to transact with crypto!
