The initiative of shopping and paying with HBD is a very interesting one.
Here in Nigeria you can visit shops to buy what you want and pay with your credit card or cash at hand.
Most shop would have loved to join hive because that will help them to save their money on the Blockchain a decentralized ecosystem that is secured and transparent.
Another point of attraction is the fact that no transaction fee is involved in hive peer-to-peer transaction unlike what we experience in commercial banks where they keep deducting your money in the name of service charges and transaction fees.
But Nigeria government has partially placed a ban on cryptocurrency transaction, infact they have delisted naira in many decentralized exchange making it difficult for people to accept hive since its connected to cryptocurrency not knowing the difference is clear.
Onboarding a newbie and shopping with HBD.
This is a business that sells all types of accessories and also repairs peoples phones.
I meet with the owner and explained to him what hive is all about how he can benefit from joining hive, he said he's a busy person but his daughter who handles the accessory shop who is also a graphic designer will be in the best position to join and benefit from hive.
I onboarded her, and she was so happy to join this awesome platform, most importantly that people can buy things from their shop and pay with HBD is another fascinating aspect for her.
I helped her set up her page, and i introduced her to different communities, i also showed her how to thread on inleo community, very soon she will create her introduction post.
Business time.
So like i said earlier they sell different types of accessories.
I bought a charger and earplugs and fixed my phone charging point, everything amounted to 2 HBD.
So she generated a code through the https://V4V.app and i used my hive keychain to scan and make the payment.
She was so happy for so many reasons.
She would not spend the money immediately just like it happens when people buy and pay with our local currency.
She has nothing to worry as to wether her money is safe or not and most importantly how fast the transaction was, just few seconds she checked her wallet and her HBD was right in there, no network story.

On my way coming back from @omachi213 shop i stumbled on @handsome44 at a fruit shop, i told him i can pay with HBD so without hesitation he agreed.
