So you guys by now, know my story....
Was in business for myself for decades. Used PayPal for 17 years without a single issue. Then on April day in 2017, they shut my account down. No reasons, no warning, just poof.
I went from being able to provide for my family, to nothing overnight. The blessing in this story, is that I discovered this blockchain in the process. And have been building on it ever since.
I told myself back then, no matter what I did going forward, I would never rely on 'traditional' payment processors ever again. Which leads me to my desire to use crypto in every aspect of my online business from now until infinity!
So the question came up today when I was speaking with @elianaicgomes ...
"Do you think we could run CTPX using only HBD as a payment option?"
So here's my thoughts on this...
We both agreed, this is what we want to attempt. No more PayPal, no more credit cards, heck not even other crypto....Just $HBD
So we're both on board with the idea.
The plus is that, no one can 'take' your HBD. It's a fantastic stablecoin and something I think everyone agrees on chain, that is a big win for us.
But here's the problem....Us.
The problem is only the Hive community even seems to know about HBD and it's potential. So for us to make this not only a reality, but a profitable one, we're going to have to tackle a few issues that I think we can fix...
Making It Super Simple To Use HBD
We used to own this little program called Hive Pay, and actually built a platform that can be used to facilitate HBD as a payment option. The bigger issue is that HBD isn't everywhere, so there will be some confusion with HIVE vs HBD.
Is this a big issue?
Kinda. I mean, I remember when I first joined this blockchain and dove into it...I couldn't tell the difference at first between Hive, HBD and Hive Power.
There's a big learning curve here, and you can't expect consumers that are used to one click purchases with PayPal and online merchants to 'learn' about this stuff.
They just want to...Buy things.
So we will have to come up with some creative ways to use the information and tools out there currently to help people through the process. That means, a wee bit more education, and we have some ideas on how to tackle this.
But the pros to me, outweigh the cons. And there aren't any cons other than, creating a better experience for users when it comes to actually using HBD. The product (HBD) is superior across so many levels. And if we want to start creating more demand for it, I think we need to attract more online businesses to use it and accept it.
So that's our plan....
While not 100% set in stone yet, this is our goal...And hopefully one day, have all online businesses specially in our niche, accept this truly remarkable token!
