My story with Bitcoins - accepting crypto in small business
My Story
In 2014 together with my girlfriend we decided to open street food business in London. Soon after we realised that we gonna have a new member of family. My gf was pregnant !

Happy happy
We decided to do burgers - bourbon steamed burgers. Propably few of you have heard of us.
We were accepting dogecoins alongside with bitcoins.
Our first days of business were so exciting.

I have pushed the story on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1v28p9/new_burger_soon_to_open_place_in_london_to_accept
and to media

.
I have realised that acceptimg crypto wasnt only as a payment method but great way to promote business.
We expanded and open more locations including 2 on Camden Market.
As soonest i got there i started coinvincing other food vendors to accept btc/doge.
Most of them just laughed over it (their problem - now as im still friends with many - regret not listening to me) but i maanaged to get on board 2 businesses. My good friend listened to my advice and started accepting btc/doge/ltc and other one btc/doge.

Our monkey was born :))
We carried on with business and acceptimg crypto
