I don’t need to preach to the choir here when I say blockchains are of the good. After all, the Internet says so. It must be true!
But… which blockchain? With Bitcoin now developing smart contracts and moving away from the pure asset functionality of its short and celebrated existence, and Ether having forked less than 48 hours ago, what is there for a poor e-tail storefront owner to do?
The storefront owner who comes onto WishKnish, sets up her home away from home, decides she will accept fiat currency — aka USD, pounds, yen, rubles, etc — as well as Knish (can’t beat commission-free commerce!) And then? Should she take Bitcoin? Should she care about NEM? (or was it Boris Nemtsov?)
And seriously… what in the world is a crypto wallet? Consensus algorithms? Fughedaboudit!
Our thinking here is twofold.
- Until she’s educated herself, Bitcoin and Ether are really the coins to accept — and hold in one’s WishKnish wallet (which ought to play nice with any other crypto wallet that you might already have) — along with her Knish supply.
- Once she has watched our instructional videos — and those by experts in the field freely available on YouTube, on Blockgeeks, and elsewhere, and read up on all the handy “What’s a cryptocurrency and what do I eat it with?” guides, it’s worth trying her luck accepting — and trading — other types of currencies springing up (literally!) 30 a day.
(I still wouldn’t accept more than 5 or so different kinds of major cryptocurrencies, especially for the hard-earned goods and services she’s offering people, because constant market fluctuations are liable to make holding to too many a mess.)
As for the crypto wallet… Well, the one good thing about them is, newcomers won’t need to worry, because a wallet is created as soon as our enterprising storefront owner registers on the platform, and she won’t have to think of really using it until she’s ready to. Our aim is to make the entire learning curve as close to what we ourselves wished it had been for us as we can possibly get.
And other other good thing is — they have already been explained so much better than I should probably attempt to by people at it longer than we’ve been. Thank you Ameer Rosic and team!
An on that note… Very Profit. So Excitement.
