what is your predict we might see everything from bitcoin transfer,stores,coffe shops

i'm sure we'll see a bitcoin icon in every store's door in the future,bitcoin would be widely used just like paypal to buy things,delivery,or even pay taxes
it'll become just like paypal,but the different,it's currency,bitcoin will not going replace the fiat because bitcoin is digital,i didn't thing bring a coin is an effective way

That would definitely happen in the upcoming years as the Bitcoins continue to spread among the people. People would use bitcoins from their mobiles just like they would use debit/credit cards.
We as Bitcoiners should work this out.

Yeah we will seeing many stores in future, We need to wait for that but the scenario will change in future where we would be able to spend our bitcoin directly.

yes, for now it seems like in the developed countries at the coffee shop can accept bitcoin as a payment.
but still it only as an alternative can't shift fiat.

not yet for this year,i believe bitcoin developer and bitcoin expert still focus on bitcoin project like bitcoin halving and open bazaar. hope next year will comeing soon,its would great to see bitcoin store.

What is a transfer store ?? You're living in 21st century man,use your mobile phones with good internet connection.You can pretty much transfer funds from your wallet quite conveniently .If you mean,you would like to see bitcoin exchange store,yes they do exist.

If you are so much enthusiast then i would recommend you to get a bitcoin (virtual) debit card and spend your bitcoins mostly everywhere like the normal debit card. But spending directly your bitcoin is a bit problem because it is not implemented in lots of countries.

The service fees is of using those cards is quite High.Plus the ATM charges if applicable.To what I know,you're even charged for checking your balance.I have never tried E-COIN ,the one which seems to be good among others,its not available for all the countries though especially Asian Countries.

Maybe checking the balance at the ATM charges us but haven't used it yet because the companies that offer these bitcoin card are online (mostly exchanges like ecoin bitx cryptopay xapo etc) and we can check our balance directly online and without any additional fee.

I think it will only be a matter of time before we start to see money transfer stores using Bitcoin. As some businesses already have stores where one can just walk in and buy some coins.

Why need of a store to transfer our bitcoin. Everyone can do of their own even with mobile, We will see large number of stores accepting bitcoin in the future which is the key factor for large adoptions.

yeah. it is pretty obvious now. we will definitely see things like this. store, coffee shops, and money exchangers nearest our home. bitcoin popularity telling the story it self. and some countries it is already happening. like Brazil and china.

I'm pretty sure that yes we will... The widespread of ATM's is a good signal for it...

yeah of course you can see in future, everywhere will have been using bitcoin and everything will be possible with bitcoin in future, That time maybe all people will be aware about it at all and maybe only few people wont be aware about it .   

Coffee shops? How about banks? I've been dreaming for years to buy BTC at a bank or a change store. Nearly every month, I buy or sell Swiss francs, Hungarian forints, British pounds or some other currency. It would just be immensely convenient if I could buy or sell BTC at those same places.

alot of things can bitcoin blockhain do massive ohhmygud just think for a moment and desire what this block data can do

lot of people still dosent know and if they sees a store they might ask and know more about this and have more trust.

i know but there are lot of peopeople old who dnt know how to use tech in  21st and fr them its more simpler and easier for them to pop for a transfer building

It will happen in the near future because brazil has 150 store accepting bitcoin as payment and here in my country they are planning to add bitcoin in our government.. so it will legal in my country..

You guys recall those ebay stores that would help people sell stuff for a fee! Always wondered who used these stores and how they could afford rents.

Bitcoin stores are to far off and if things keep moving with tech there will never be a need. Cell phones connect to the internet and thats all you need, who doesnt have a cell?

In developed countries, we will probably see it very soon. But that includes only like 20 countries in whole world I guess. Pretty sure that the first one to carry bitcoin in stores would be Dubai.

it might happen in next year,and would be amazing experience to come to bitcoin money transafer store,just like come to western union office ;D
but again and again,the matter is on goverment permissions. sure its would hard to get that permission.

it will possible, its depend on the developer and the investor of bitcoin wallet, we already had bitcoin ATM so its only matter of times the money transfer store appear in the future
the one that we can do is to support is by spreading bitcoin news and do transaction using bitcoin

Better if it remains online. Physical stores equal expense and hassle plus it's more prone to being hit by The Man with regulations and thus costs. There's a reason Western Union costs so goddamn much.

we've been already seen stores accepting bitcoin as payment.
we just don't see bitcoin as famous as fiat yet. I mean bitcoin is not accepted in all of world corners.
maybe it needs more years to make it come true, I don't know how long.

Most of the online stores are already accepting bitcoins and those who are not accepting it yet are also considering it to accept it to increase their consumer base and Sale.
It customers are willing to deal and pay in bitcoins, then whats the harm in doing that.

what country

There is some problem in bitcoin which is also its one of the best feature untracable transactions. So almost all of the government will not like the concept of bitcoin money transfer. Money regulation law can't be implemented truely in bitcoin due to untracable transaction leading to money laundering which is actually crive in almost all of the country. But who knows the future, may be we will see money transfer operating in some of the countries, at first i think it will be european countries.

it does not really matter in which country, if one will start accepting bitcoin in most of the stores and decide that its a national currency then all countries will sooner or later do that

i think that in the future there will surely be such stores because bitcoin is getting popular at a very rapid pace and people will want to be able to shop with btc

I don't really belive that we will see it in near future cause most of people are lazy and it's better to do online for them. If it become possible soon i am sure that i will try it.

No mate everything is possible, and I am sure we will see majority of shops accepting bitcoin as a  mode of payment in future, we just need to have some patience.

Bitcoin do not need ant third party who will manage to transfer your oney, but you yourself can transfer them with some clicks,
By the it is the chances that there we see some escrow stores in the coming future, maybe they are the banks.

Bitcoin transfer store = retail bitcoin exchange? I think it will be very easy to implement using the existing bitcoin ATM. Maybe the two-way ATMs maybe needed. What you need is only the receiver's public key, not even IDs or addresses!

It could definitely happen. If Bitcoin would become so popular in the future is could accomplish so many things. But Bitcoin still has a long way to go before they can do something like that.   

Well, we don't know is it will happen or not. But maybe someday it will happened, more people will know about bitcoin and use it, and maybe a shop in real life that accept bitcoins and coffee shops too.

I do think this is possible but I do also know that this cannot be predicted because it depends if the bitcoin is gonna be good in the future.
If they bitcoin will be a lot bigger and better with a lot more users, most likely it will than.

I can happen and is possible but I do not know for when. If they open one store they sure want to open much more stores world wide. But they have to gain more popularity in order to do that.

Actually, there are many Bitcoin ATM in some country. but not every country have it, in my country, only 2 places that have bitcoin ATM. so yeah, we hope someday every place have bitcoin transfer.

what i am waiting to see which would help mass adoption
although it may have its cons
is simply BTC printed out on a receipt
with a wallet/pos system
just be paper wallets you carry
printed off a printer at checkout

a lot of people would understand BTC much quicker if they could touch it and see it
just print off paper wallet for their btc
to spend it just gets scanned and transferred to checkout
which then just prints off a fresh paper wallet with the change

obviously you could also then put straight on phone wallet
but printables would be good option at checkout for shops

shops could also help promote bitcoin by offering change in btc for first timers
with instructions printed on receipt too

I'm thinking the same thing, I really think its possible but it all depends on the people that are gonna use the bitcoin, if the bitcoin will grow to one of the biggest currency's in the world its gonna happen for sure.
Its all depending on the people and the wallets right now, if the bitcoin stays growing like this there is a good chance.

Yes we might see that in the near future and it will be a great deal if we can have a shop at would accept that and it will turn the likes of westen in bankruptcy.

But nowadays you have to admit that this is getting more and more probable. There are big players in the market there that are now taking Bitcoin more seriously. And i guess it's only a matter of time now before Bitcoin really pays off.

should be in few years later as the popularity of bitcoin is getting more and more popular, so anything which related to btc might be a trend in the coming time  ;D

I haven't yet seen stores that have the Bitcoin logo on their doors but it would make me very happy if I would be able to pay for stuff with Bitcoins in a bookstore or in a clothing shop etc. Even if big supermarket chains don't adopt Bitcoin as a payment method at least the smaller family-owned businesses could make a big difference for the Bitcoin users if they decide to accept Bitcoin.

well i was predict bitcoin can use for all stores in the world and everybody will use bitcoin for buying their daily life but for near future i don't think this will be happen because we all know that on some countries not admitted bitcoin as the currency and also illegal

I'm sure in near future bitcoin can be use as payment in store, since bitcoin is growing big and people are aware with it.
In future, stores, groceries, hotels, transportations will use bitcoin as their payment.

Like I said before, you can forget about people buying coffees with Bitcoin and other mundane crap with it as long as people don't get paid in Bitcoin for their time. People when they buy Bitcoin, they value it too much, they feel like they are using gold to buy some crap, so they would rather use fiat and hold the Bitcoin. For example the money I get paid in the sig campaign, is not much yes, but I get paid with it and I feel like spending it. If I had to buy it first, I wouldn't bother with spending of that.

At some point it will be accepted just like visa and all the other retail payment options, it will just take a little while.
There are some apps out there that allow you to pay using your bitcoin in any retail shop that accepts NFC, one that comes to mind is Plutus and there is another one I recently saw which i can't remember now but for bitcoin itself to be accepted I would give it another couple of years.

Yeah but there has to be a change in people's mentality, they need to see BTC as a currency, not as gold. People see it as gold, because they value it too much.
Be honest, would you pay some coffee with Bitcoin, or you would rather use fiat, which you know is going to stay the same price or go lower long term? Bitcoin is gold, not some shitty currency to pay for coffee. Unless everyone gets paid with BTC, I have my doubts about that kind of usage being usual.

We do not need to follow the old brick n mortar model of the fiat system to have physical offices where fiat is exchanged for other currencies anymore. We have alternatives now

with Bitcoin, and most of these solutions are digital. The Bitcoin vending machines and ATM's are still convenient but I would want to see a future where we do not need to go

from Bitcoin back to fiat. We are moving towards a scenario where most goods can be bought with Bitcoin { using the Spendabit feature on the Bitcoin.com } or through 3rd

party services, like purse.io and conversion to fiat is not necessary anymore. Buy and pay for services, directly with Bitcoin.  ;)

Well, if coffee shop insists 5 confirmation, the coffee buying process will be quite long.

Yeah it is possible but they would have to gain more popularity for that I think. Because if they are going to open a stores they have to be sure that people will come. 

That was what everybody expected, bitcoin will available anywhere just like WiFi.

Recently the development of merchant which accept bitcoin running so slow especially in Asia, very few a merchant who bravely announced they are accept bitcoin.

But if you think about it. There are no any other coins and cryptocurrency out there that is progressing like Bitcoin. Here in Manila, it's gaining more popularity with the help of coins.ph

bitcoin  money transfer store might available in several years again,but not on this year,its just like post office in my country,but that office serve us bitcoin transafer,its great..

a coffee shop would not care about confirmations, tansactions are instant, only confirmations take time,

but more importantly, businesses would simply work a number in to their business model for any bad transactions, as beleive it or not, the majority of people are honest.

So it only fraudsters that would need to worry, which a camera takes care of,
when paying in person the exact time will be recorded, and would not take long to be detected

it would be so much more risk of getting caught than say using a credit card or cheque for fraud.

Of course we can, that is next step that needs to come. Natural process of growing up. I already see many stores in some countries, but what we need is that to be on a higher level.
I have a friend that have wine store, I'm telling him that he need to think about accepting bitcoin as payment method. To be first in my country that do something like that. He laughs at me when I'm talking to him about that. Soon we will see will he regret cause he didn't listen me.
People are still suspicious about bitcoin, there is still a lot of people that need to be convinced that bitcoin is something good and not some "big internet fraud".

Yes bitcoin is the only crypto currency that has progress a lot while others are just hype and soon collapse with no use at all in the market but just for trading.

For online shop yes, and it does exist, but for real or offline store i doubt that we could see in the near future due to the confirmation time of bitcoin need to be improve, i usually buying some virtual things on internet but sometimes i have to be waiting to get 1 confirmation time untill my items was processing

I would love to see more shops in my country and around the world offering Bitcoin payments offline. Bitcoin is very efficient for online transactions that's a fact but we need it in our daily real life for it to be successful and for us to enjoy its benefits. If I were a shop manager I would put the Bitcoin accepted here sticker on the door just to be a forward thinking person  ;)

Why need it while we can easily convert it to real paper money and it is less hassle to convert it to the banks and if transfer well we can do wallet to wallet transfer and cash it out to the banks Easily. I think all we need is bitcoin atm machinr were you can choose to withdraw via $ or any paper currenciew what you like.

I think there are already ATM in place where you can exchange fiat vs Bitcoins.
But not in every city, not even in every country

Yes there are ATMs in some large country but not all country its better if there was a local site that would help you exchange directly your bitcoin to local cash.

No need for Bitcoin stores as bitcoins wallets and exchanges : already playing this part. What u say ?  :'(

Hello Nasi, my answer is yes because we've seen more people/organization embrasing bitcoin.

In future i will not be surprise to see coffee shop's & newspaper cafe adding bitcoins icon on storefront. For now, it's our duty to keep defending this virtual currency from those who think the main aim of this coins is to exploit or engage in illegal activities.

*Not sending the wrong message to those who have little or no knowledge about this Vcurency can also help spread the use of bitcoins.

In the past, i remember a post office agent instructing me not to add my personal bank info's on paypal website for verification because they are scammer's ;D


Thanks
Arlene

not like money transafer in my city,exchange not real store,i'm sure op mean is real store that can used for transaction like bank or other money transfer service. and this is hard to happen this year.

in mooneygram seen 5-10 people who transfed about 1000$ to their home country srilanka and they charged them $100 

still lot of people dosent know about bitcoin and one time i went to the western union and i talked to a guy who wants to transfe r money to his hometown itold him about bitcoin and the fee is very lowww, and he told me are you trying to scam me?? he said this is more convinied  i got a recipt and am 100 guranteed that the money will go to my faimily

Thats the mere facts sir..maybe if bitcoins are very well known but it takes more many years to be recognize ..my friend from europe she say bitcoins are just kind of stuff .so bitcoins are for long time to be seen on that transactions.

Yes confirmation time will be great hurdle in spending bitcoin offline.Imagine waiting to leave a coffee shop after payment but you cant unless the shop owner see 1 confirmation would be a great embarrassment and waste of time as well

I think for the online shop can still be done perhaps in the near future there is a site that can make can redeem vouchers for the store. it allowed right?

Yeah already every service has got existed, but when it comes to users need. Some prefer to depend upon such exchanges if found near their locality. So this also helps in grabbing attention of the people who were not aware of bitcoin.

Sure, the amount of ATMs is still small. But it has started, that is the important thing.
The ATMs for fiat had to start at some point as well, I think back in the 70s, and it took them a while to spread as well.
I do not expect the bitcoin ATMs to spread that quickly, but a first step is made and as long as they are used they will (hopefully) not be removed.

possible, its depend on the developer and the investor of bitcoin wallet, we already had bitcoin ATM so its only matter of times the money transfer store appear in the future..

Bitcoin will be widely spread in the world. People would use bitcoins from their cell phone
 just like they would use debit/credit cards. It will be readily available everywhere all the time.

I'm not sure that's true (confirmation time being a great hurdle to BTC acceptance).  I have seen and heard of cases (coffee purchases for example) where the recipient doesn't even bother waiting on a confirmation for small purchases.

Within the past year, for example, I do not have to sign (sometimes) for small credit card purchases.

I think the same principal applies here, for small purchases the risk is low of fraud, and the results not too painful for the merchant.

Exchanges are already sort of Bitcoin money transfer stores. You can transfer or convert your bitcoins to any other Alt Coins. So we dont need to wait for the future. Its already here.

Yes I think we will see that things in the near future, in the near future we will have a number of stores where we will pay for our purchase etc. It will work the same as are now working the debit cards and credit cards of Visa and mastercard. But only on those stores whose owners and workers are educated, uneducated are unable to use bitcoin.

I dont think that bitcoin will be the everyday crypto that alot of people think it will b, there are better crypto for that, but i do think that bitcoin will be the grand daddy of crypto, giving all other crypto there value and exchange price.

If there will be a mainstream crypto coin one day that would be Bitcoin. I don't think any other alt coin will gain such popularity or investors' money to change the landscape already set by Bitcoin. Yes there will always be copycats trying to emulate the success of Bitcoin but only the original will prevail and hold the most value of them all. We can manufacture fake diamonds effortlessly but are they as valuable as the real ones?

i doubt that it is possible in a very near future though i think that after waiting somewhere about like 10 years it will surely be possible without any doubts, i hope im right and bitcoin will evolve more soon

It will be a good thing and I think the first one will open in Japan with out a doubt. But it would be hard for them to open more stores around the world.
But I think that Bitcoin can accomplish this but they not have to hurry, everything comes with time. 

Well, we can certainly see it in the near future. whether it's on the internet or in the real world, we will see it in the near future. someone else would make it happen, and it may be the beginning of the development of bitcoin in the real world

I don't think there is anything in the world of crypto which is better than Bitcoin. So I seriuosly doubt that any other crypto will be used more than Bitcoin.

back @topic: Bitcoin will be used a lot in all kinds of stores in the near future. In fact those stores who'll adopt Bitcoin first will be in big profit.

Exchanger also work exactly like money transfer store buy coin and send to another bitcoin user he can convert it to dollar and cashed out or even withdraw via bitcoin credit card. I think we are not seeing actual offline money transfer store for bitcoin is just due to legal issues.

I hope not. The day I will be able to pay taxes with Bitcoin, I will switch to another crypto-currency. I don't want my shitty government to get in my money. If I can taxes with it, it means that they have a way to know how much I'm hiding and I don't like that idea.

That's a great idea. No ATM but a store where you can sent money with bitcoin. The same way as Western Union does.
Hmm come to think of, it may be too expensive to set something like that up.

yeah bitcoin delivery services from a third person looks like it will sound unfamiliar. people prefer to buy on the exchange and send yourself anyway you are not charged for sending bitcoin. maybe just a small fee so that was not a problem.
I think this will require considerable time

Not this year,not next year,maybe need more than 3 years for bitcoin to become global currency who have store for transaction just like western union,bitcoin is different thing.

Yes in the near future you will see stores  accepts bitcoin now just like visa or credit card and a btc card can be use with it.

To be a global currency is not possible soon or within few years time. It might get used as a global currency when people of entire world know about the digital currency.

Western Union is not global currency it's like a Bitcoin wallet for your fiat you give them cash they send it to your friend in another country charging you higher fees in the process. We have enough Bitcoin exchanges at the moment all we need is more businesses to start accepting Bitcoin as a legitimate payment method so we don't have to jump through hoops to spend our coins there because they favor only fiat processors. If we can purchase things directly with Bitcoins all the exchanges and payment processors will lower their fees because we won't be needing them any more to convert to fiat because we will be spending Bitcoin and no 3rd party will rip us off with more fees like in the fiat world.

Yeah bitcoin might we see on store  like paypal, paypal now are used for.paying items services school fee and many more, so im hoping that many store is accepting bitcoin in near futurr

Yeah I already thought of this and there's a high possibility that this might happen. Well with the popularity of bitcoin now unlike before, I'll be just waiting for a few months or maybe a year for this to happen. But whatever we can't definitely predict the future so it might or it might not happen.

Yup we can see bitcoin money transfer in store, this possible because i think almost all people know it sk ithink in future they can request or establish a store and make it accept bitcoin

i was wondering is it allowed to advertise bitcoin logo on the streets advertise them on the busses  is it allowed

if thats not illegal i might do it with some friends and be serius about it .

how does transferwise work? how come they got low transaction and not lie western union or mooneygram

If the policies in your country allows you to do it, then you can give it a try. But I think it is pretty time consuming getting all required documents and licenses. Here there are some store-in-stores where an WU point there allows you to send or collect money. You can do the same with Bitcoin.

I think people rarely need to store delivery bitcoin? might sound good if they also sell bitcoin at the same rate in the market. I'm sure people will choose to buy and send bitcoin themselves with their wallets. because the fee is much cheaper?
You would not know the fee for sending bitcoin with such WU

Though we have wallets to support our transactions, a store will popularize bitcoin. Right now popularity and spreading is required for the bitcoin growth.

I have read about a company that wants to launch offices in France first where people will be able to buy prepaid Bitcoin wallets for cash and if the sum is under $50 there will be no personal identification required. I think it is a great idea and hope to see it soon in more countries around Europe. This will make Bitcoin more mainstream because these offices can be opened in big shopping malls and supermarkets thus promoting the use of Bitcoin.

The exciting news. If that can be done immediately, so it is no longer Bitcoin will experience a change that is much better than it is now. And more and more users are more and more companies are adopting Bitcoin transactions. If this is true, be prepared to benefit the fun

In my country there is no such shop which accepts bitcoins because there is very less awareness on bitcoins and government has not had a say on it's legality. But I have read that there are a already a few physical stores that actually accepts bitcoins like REED Jewelers in US, CeX in UK, some soccer club in California.

out should be a joke.

Consider the basic things to do a Bitcoin transaction. For using Bitcoin, we peoples at least need a gadget like mobile, hardware wallet or something else similar to this along with least technical knowledge, but there exists more peoples who have no knowledge in tech. in this situation how you guys think Bitcoin will be used in shops (even in future). Even though, if most of the ships were accepting Bitcoin as a payment method, very few only will use this feature.

Behalf of this, peoples will prefer to use Fiat, there is no need of any gadget to have your money.

I hope the day will come, because i really wanna use coins in real life, but now we can use bitcoins transfer amount in USD, but later on after 5 years may be the day will come when we use the bitcoins easily in stores and coffe and hotels etc.

Bitcoin can be accepted everywhere.

Money transfer store is a good idea but it should be located in such a country where government don't usually interfere in business.

Otherwise it will also become a hub for regulations. They will start asking KYC to transfer or receive money. Which is not good for bitcoin users.

Otherwise, the online transactions are enough.

yes! it will really possible to be happen
in fact,some of the stores in different countries
they accepted bitcoins already espcially in money transfer due to
low deductions..

I think you will still find a store money transfer in the future, because I think bitcoin will not be able to replace it. Moreover, we know the public has not fully trust bitcoin, because if bitcoin turn out to be a scam you can not sue anyone. different from the currency of a country that has a gold reserve amount of money in circulation. Thank you

I think it's going to be a little while before we see that happening, there are still quite a few challenges that need to be addressed before Bitcoin can truly go mainstream. But we're doing pretty good as it is, adoption is booming, more and more well respected companies are getting onboard :)

if there was a bitcoin transfer store it would do a lot of bitcoin thats for
sure. Making it much easier to buy and sell it.

Maybe some pawn shops will get involved with it soon like they do with gold and
silver

I think what we are going to see in the future are shops located in malls that sell digital and online currencies. It could be an all in one store for crypto currencies where you could buy, sell, trade, purchase stuff with whatever currency you have. Bitcoin would definitely be not the only option because carrying a singular type of coin would not offer flexibility to potential clients.

Maybe in the future we might see more and more stores accepting Bitcoin and even some real life Bitcoin exchanges. I think that they will be much better as the would be much safer than the online exchanges.

I would love it if some company in my country started selling Bitcoin deposits over the counter for cash for minimal fees. This will be a very convenient way of purchasing Bitcoin without the need to disclose your personal information and banking details to online Bitcoin exchanges. ATM machines are useful but the higher fees make them kinda expensive to use. Buying Bitcoin prepaid wallets will be the new craze I am telling you :D

Maybe in the future we can buy a good any where we are only by scan code on our smartphone. We are keep moving forward so the future of bitcoin would be amazing. I think.

As far as i can see now, yes it is possible to be happen that in the near
future it will be very useful in money transfering like whats happening now in my country some of our remittances here they
accept bitcoins we can send money to our family or friends from bitcoins to any remiitances or any banks...
and some of our coffee shops and restaurant here are also accepting bitcoins so its very possible ;)

It will absolutely happen in the upcoming years,  especially if the growth continuosly spread out the world.
