Running a business today isn’t easy; costs keep rising—supplies, wages, rent—and margins keep shrinking. Card fees take a chunk out of every transaction. Finding and keeping good staff is harder than ever. Bringing in new customers while keeping the regulars is always on the top of our minds. But there may be a common solution to these issues.
This meetup is for merchants and small business owners who are curious—maybe even skeptical—about Bitcoin and how it could actually make a difference in their day-to-day operations by increasing their margins and attracting a loyal customer base.
A Bitcoin Educator (Daniella) and Restaurant Owner (Jan) will co-present a straightforward look at:
- How Bitcoin can help you stand out in a crowded market in Porto
- How accepting it can put more money in your pocket
- Why Bitcoin attracts a growing base of loyal, tech-savvy customers
- What it actually looks like to use accept Bitcoin as a merchant
- Regulatory and tax basics you need to know
You’ll hear another merchant who is actively accepting Bitcoin share the positive impact it has had on his business; real info and a conversation about practical tools that could make a difference from lived-experience.
- 🔊 Language: While attendees speak many languages including Portuguese, the presentation will be in English.
- 📝 What to Bring: A way to take notes
- 🚊 Getting to the Venue: Walkable distance from Metro Aliados or Sao Bento.
- 📷 No Photos: We ask that you do not take photos to respect the privacy of participants. Thank you 🙏🏼
