#487 Smartcard and Smart Point of Sale adoption in Cancun

Who am I?
I´m Coach Digi and I live with Oremor (my wife) in Cancún, México. I´m a public highschool teacher and a college american football coach. I´m also an industrial engineer with a masters degree in mkt.
I´m a Bitcuner (Cancún crypto community) and had been promoting SmartCash and already had a SmartHive proposal (#182). (https://vote.smartcash.cc/Proposal/Details/Creation-of-SmartStudent-ecosystems-Stage-1-by-CoachDigi1).

What will we do?
4 Merchant and SmartCard adoption meetups in 4 different food establishments in Cancun.
4 SmartStudent meetups
6 SmartStudent radio shows at Anahuác Cancun University radio

Merchant and SmartCard adoption meetups:

• We will promote SmartCard and SmartCash PoS at “El Deck Foodtruck park”. “El Deck” has aprox. 10 foodtrucks, all the foodtrucks receive cash and some receive creditcard as payment.
• We already had conversations about cryptocurrencies and SmartCash with some owners and they liked the project, because when they charge with a credit card they charge 5% commission, besides they can not have their money up to 3 days later.
• We taught them how to change from Fiat to SmartCash and vice versa and this gave them the confidence that they can have their money whenever they want, and they were convinced that SmartCash has real value.
• We will do a merchant adoption meetup in a different foodtruck each time, so the owners can understand all the SmartCash payment process and how they will integrate it with their own PoS.
• We will do videos so we can show the world how easy is to use SmartCash/SmartCard
• We will have a SmartCash accepted at “El Deck” bilboard

SmartStudent Ecosystem

• We already talked with some of the authorities of the Anáhuac Cancun University and with the owners of the school cafeteria.
• Anahuac Cancun University is growing and they are rebuilding the cafeteria and meanwhile they are using some foodtrucks to serve the students.
• We already talked to the owner of a foodtruck and he is also ready to accept SmartCash as a payment (merchant and SmartCard adoption)
• The university cafeteria will accept SmartCash when the rebuilding is finish.

Smartstudent Meetups

• We will do SmartStudent meetups with university students so we can educate them about SmartCash/SmartCard in a playful way.
• They will receive SmartCash as giveaway so they can spend it at the foodtrucks
• We will promote with the students the SmartStudent Radio Show

SmartStudent radio show

• 6 Smartstudent Radio shows at the university radio station (1 hour weekly)
• Start next semester (August)

If we want a SmartCash massive adoption we need merchants and the consumers.  In this proposal we will educate food establishments owners about Blochchain, cryptos and SmartCash, also we will help them to find the best SmartCash payment process and how they can integrate SmartCash PoS  payments in their own Point of Sale (PoS), also we will introduce SmartCash to highschool and college students in Cancun. The yung generations are the ones that will use cryptos in a future, so its important to introduce SmartCash to them.  

The Students will know what is and how to use SmartCash downlading and using their SmartCash wallets and how they can create their SmartCard.

With the SmartStudent Radio show, we will involve the student community to SmartCash community so they can be SmartCash ambassadors.

We will give SmartCash T-shirts, caps and sunglasses, to the meetups attendees, smartstudents and the merchants crew.
