The Transition To Crypto: Now Accepting Bitcoin
Well, I finally made it so I can accept Bitcoin on my Etsy shop! I actually had no idea how easy it is to set it up, until by husband was kind enough to do 10 seconds of research for me and find instructions from the Etsy "Bitcoin" team.
For any other Etsy sellers on here, these are the instructions if you would like to take part in changing the world as well:
Tag your shop items with 'bitcoin' so they appear in the search results: http://www.etsy.com/search?q=bitcoin http://www.etsy.com/ca/search?q=bitcoin
How to Accept Bitcoins on Etsy:
-Edit your Shop Announcement page so that it says 'Bitcoin Accepted.'
-Go to Your Shop > Shipping & Payment > Payment Methods. Select "Other" as a method.
-After the buyer has purchased an item using "Other," you can contact them with instructions so they can send payment to your bitcoin address.
Here is a 'Bitcoin Accepted Here' img to put on your website if you have one:
I recommend coinbase.com for an online bitcoin wallet to get started with.

*The above instructions are from the Bitcoin team's "about this team" section and can be found via the link above.
There is a thread on the Etsy Bitcoin Team page that has a list of other shops that accept Bitcoin as well.

Who knew it would only take 10 seconds? lol
Will you start accepting steem, SBD or bitshares?
I would like to. Would it work roughly the same way as a bitcoin transaction?
I suppose, however It would happen here- on the steem blockchain, throught your account and be much much faster.
So, i could message them and tell them my Steemit name, then they could just go to their wallet and transfer the correct amount of steem to me ya? That seems easy enough. Though I would have to calculate how much steem I would need according to the current SBD value at that time. But that is doable.
