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.

Buying fruits and paying with HBD.
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.
I bought some fruit that amounted to 1 Hbd and i did same thing and payed for the fruit.

Have you realized that when you shop with hbd, you are able to pay less as compared to your currency because of the rate?
What else is even sweeter than this 🥰🥰
Let’s keep up with spreading the #spendhbd word
thats exactly what I noticed today, the charges that bank deduct which are not part of what you bought lol
Let's keep spreading #spendhbd
Those charges that can buy twice of what you bought 🤣
Thank you so much for your patronage, I love this new method of paying with HBD, no bank issues no spending unnecessarily, i wish other customers can also get to pay with HBD, this would actually make traders and store owners to save more than they spend.
i look forward to having you again in my store....❤️
Sure I will love to get whatever I need from your shop so that I can pay with my HBD, the transaction was just stress less
It’s really great to see people from different parts of the world spending hbd. Hopefully, more businesses in Nigeria get to jump on this train.
Really if more people become aware of the possibilities we can achieve in terms of fast transactions and financial freedom through HBD and Hive, many will surely give it a try. Let's keep spreading the good word. You're doing a great job.
They need to hear about it, especially for the fast and secured transactions
I am not sure you know how powerful this is. Onboarding and spending. Thank you for sharing this. Please let your new friend know how he can earn and spend on Hive. I hope to see his introductory post soon so that we can learn more about his business and what he sells. This could be a marketing platform for other Hivers to visit and shop from his store. Thank you for this, and I hope to see your daily posts on whatever you buy from this and other stores while spending HBD. Thank you, @beauty197.
I saw and felt the effect yesterday, on a norm I will wait till bank transfer drops before I get what I bought but I'm just few seconds I was done with the transaction, it was really good I will try it over and over again
I kindly suggest that this shop owner, as well as any other businesses you may interact with, consider creating a Hive account specifically for their business. This would enable you to conveniently send funds to their business account rather than their personal account. Once this is accomplished, we would be delighted to promote their business on Hive, thereby inviting others to engage with them as well @beauty197 .
Looking for other businesses, this shop owners daughter already signed up, and that was why the transaction was very easy and fast .
