Title: How can we push the actual use of Bitcoin ?
Post by: User365 on July 07, 2017, 10:56:26 AM
I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

  • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
  • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
  • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.

The one above me is correct. There is no need to shove bitcoin into market. Once scaling is solved and transaction time is no longer a problem, this will come in naturally. The only thing that can be required from the community is its continuous support and usage of bitcoin. The market will adopt to it when it recognizes that the volume of bitcoin users is quite large or profitable.

i mostly agree with your third option, and generally to start from ourselves. if we have a business or do anything that is involving money to change hands, then why not use bitcoin.

and also the most important part is when we start using bitcoin ourselves. we can't really expect big businesses like Amazon to start accepting bitcoin when not that many of us are really willing to spend our coins.

I accept bitcoins myself and no other options. If the seller don't offer bitcoin payments, I insist on it. If he don't show any interest, I don't do business with that seller and skip to another one.

You have to have a bit of H*tler inside you if you want to push bitcoin's usage further.

We need to solve the ongoing scaling drama before we try to push for any sort of bigger use cases. Until we get the proper scaling measures deployed, it's better to leave bitcoin as a store of value and that's all. If you want to help the scaling debate, you can do everything you can to avoid the hardfork, because a hardfork would pretty much kill bitcoin. There's no way im going to bother explaining to people if they need to invest in bitcoin 1 or in bitcoin 2, it's just ridiculous.

Let's avoid the hardfork first, lets get segwit in, lets get lightning networks, and lets roll.

For me, if the high transaction fees and block size debate is solved, more and more people will go to bitcoin for whatever purpose they want to. We don't need to actually promote it. It will fly by itself. Right now, a lot of people don't know about it, but for me I don't insist on it. Let them know it by themselves and I'm pretty sure they will go back to me to ask more questions about bitcoin. Let bitcoin promote itself.

When a commodity will be having a bright future, how we can expect people will be spending them ? This is what actually happening with bitcoins, people are into investment mode with respect to bitcoin, it might take more time for them to switch over to currency mode.

My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?
No one can define the actual use of bitcoin as currency. Probably the actual applications of bitcoin in should be two and the people are doing perfect already. Yes, the people who are using bitcoins for both investments and as currency. But, I agree the percentage of people who will be using bitcoin as currency must be significantly lower. But we can hope it will improve in coming days.

The main reason of not using bitcoin as currency by most of them are due to fluctuation of the price and small business peoples are afraid of this fluctuation as it is fluctuating daily on 10% basis. When the price gets stable and only moves low then only we can see bitcoin getting accepted in all types of business.

Yeah, you mention the biggest hurdle in the way of Bitcoin as payment method. No one gonna waste $2.5 for every transaction. If this problem could be solved, believe me many-many merchants will start using BTC payments without any marketing or convincing.
Till last year Bitcoin was major source of payment on survey, online working, affiliate sites but now hardly any site pays in Bitcoin without deducting huge fees.

Haha, that's right. Most people are hesitant to accept bitcoin, let alone any other crypto. So maybe if we were more persistent they would be accepting bitcoin faster.  :)

That's why we need to let it gradually grow without artificially speeding it up through advertisements, after the scaling is solved hopefully very soon I believe we can put this discussion in the right perspective because there are many ways we could get people to actually spend their bitcoins on a daily basis and likewise merchants if we could get transactions confirmed early and at a reasonable rate.

Because if your idea become true, the bussiness will going to Bitcoin and can use it for deal, not need altcoin to helps :)

May be everyone is looking at bitcoin as the way of earning huge return of investments, a way of making profits. We will need to change that thinking in at least 70% of bitcoin users. The number is just speculation but it should work at tha time as they won't just hold the bitcoin and let it RIP there to grow. Then the transactions will be faster and bitcoin will start moving in the market lightening fast. The more it will be traded the more it will gain value against the goods and services.

A ton of topics have already been made asking the same question, usually the same options are given as you've just mentioned.

Sure, you could go around and ask companies to accept Bitcoin, but I'm not sure if that really helps much.
In the end, a couple of e-mails or tweets do not have a really big impact.

I'd say, let Bitcoin grow organically and don't push it too much on people or companies.
It's better if people find out about it themselves, though news or other sources.

It will be resolved as fast as possible but with some possibilities the chain gets forked and another bitcoin will be appeared as like BTU in bitfinex. We can't push the actual use of bitcon if the block still really slow like this time. There is no way to do that.

For me we don't have to convince an organization we only need to do is to promote it more in social media, forums , advertisement and through news that way many people will get curious in Bitcoin if they got curious they'll be the one who will search for the use of Bitcoin and stuff.

That is the general belief of holders of Bitcoin. We really don't see it as an alternate fiat. Rather we see it as an asset like a property that should be held until it appreciates. However, I don't think that attitude is what holds the global acceptability of Bitcoin. Its erratic price fluctuations, among others does. One may accept it as payment and the price drops within few minutes of that even before hitting the receiver's wallet. Also, there are issues of backlog of unresolved transactions and high fees.

You should also include support from our government because I think that is one of the many reasons why we are not having the support or user that we need for bitcoin. Imagine if we got the support of our own government and they talk about bitcoin in news, in their conference and etc, it's my opinion but if I hear these talks in different medias I think I will get interested in it and believe in it even if it is the first time I heard about bitcoin.

There is a lot of value in pushing the use of Bitcoin as opposed to just relying on people to start using it just because someone told them it was a good idea. I know for a fact that there are more people that started using Bitcoin (or at least talking about it) through me encouraging conversations on the topic and being (slightly) aggressive when it came to talking about it as opposed to casual conversation. For companies, they need to see a desire to use Bitcoin for them to accept it as a means of making money. They see that desire through a push for its use.

I don't think goverment can support this kind of bitcoin idea of using this on our mode of payment of the country today. The president is not that open minded about it and worst if he knows this kind of trading, or freedom of online income generating website without their control; government might ban bitcoin. One thing I only believe is a certain idea of sharing bitcoin to a friend and letting then learn day by day is helpful to push bitcoin an anonymous knowledge about it. Our country is not yet ready about this, maybe in the near future it will; important is people is educated about it rather than implementing it without proper knowledge.

I like the idea of getting people to start converting fiat into Bitcoin as part of their normal savings plan. Now for example, after two years of seeing me involved in Bitcoin, my Family now are interested in getting hold of Bitcoin as a saving tool. My Father bought his fiat 300 USD worth of Bitcoin a few weeks ago.

We can’t convince anyone but we can put up voting throughout the world to make bitcoin as primary processor at big brands. Mostly the food chains such as dominos, KFC, MacDonals, Burger King (Russian started accepted bitcoin) and we can make it to our goals of using bitcoin. Not only this, big shopping malls such as Walmart should try this out. With that mall only there will be tremendous introduction of bitcoin to the world. Just imagine about it. It can make it happen.

It is very difficult for us to do that, we do not have enough power to make people believe in bitcoin. On the contrary, we can push the government to do that, with the government accepting bitcoin, people will use more bitcoin.

But after my friend explained about bitcoin I was interested to follow the development of bitcoin so I think it is necessary to introduce bitcoin to each person so that others can understand the bitcoin which until now not many people who understand about crypto

Although I agree with you that a currency is meant to be spent and more people should spend their Bitcoin, but people are allowed to do what they want with their money. Also, there is no incentive for people to spend their Bitcoin, but if they hold onto it, chances are it's going to rise up in price and they would make extra money. However, the biggest point is that Bitcoin isn't suited for day to day transactions in it's current state. With long transaction times and high transaction fees, no one in their right mind would be spending their Bitcoin on daily transactions. I think that with segwit and the increase of block size, transaction times and fees will be lower and more people will be tempted to spend their Bitcoin. Although, I think the easiest way for people to be persuaded to use Bitcoin is if their government accepted Bitcoin as a valid payment method. If big companies also started to accept Bitcoin, more people would spend their Bitcoin.

If you feel like it is too early to push Bitcoin in your country officially, then your idea is right in your situation. But some countries are ready to accept Bitcoin on the highest level, on the government level I mean, and we can see it already happens in South Korea, Switzerland, Japan, and several other countries are going to do the same.

The issue of forcing people to accept bitcoin is an already in motion issue by default and it will get to a point that they will be the one that will accept without any form of coercion or even a discount as it is. What we all need to do is to just continue believing in it and discourage the illegal use of bitcoin so they don't use that as an excuse, and with that, in due time, things will fall in place even beyond what we could have imaging by forcing our way in.

After we develop the initial stimulus in the currency organic growth tends to take care of itself
People well a good majority live from Bill to Bill without much savings or income left from the next paycheck and live outside their means, so in general if people want to invest they might use Bitcoin and hold it because its all the more difficult at present.

That said having services paid in Bitcoin and banking with Bitcoin is a good way to track your finances and keep your goals in your means as people can look back on the blockchain see that 100 dollar Android Box they bought with Bitcoin back in 2013 would now be worth 1K and think well then I should just consider Bitcoin my savings account and use cash instead :P.

It is not "nearly impossible" and as for your information, we have different countries out there that are starting or started to support or accept Bitcoin. Japan is our best example there. So why does other countries legalize bitcoin if this, as you've said, "will harm their influence in the long term." They had a thorough research about Bitcoin before jumping in. And if Bitcoin will harm them then why did they jump into Bitcoin?

Quote
...but they will never help it to gain power

I completely disagree. If ever a country's government announced their acceptance of Bitcoin, its citizens will be intrigued about what Bitcoin is. Then they (the citizens) will be aware of what Bitcoin is. They will start to engage in Bitcoin and as a result Bitcoin will gain power from it. The best example is, again, Japan.

It must happen organically, or it will not happen. People has to find a reason to use Bitcoin. If you can use fiat to do everything you need, then average Joe will not look forward to using Bitcoin. When it becomes a necessity because citizens lose their money on banks due bad government moves like in Venezuela, then they will see the need of bitcoin.

Other use cases include overseas transactions. But the average joe couldn't care less about doing groceries with bitcoin in the first world because they don't need it at least right now. Thats why the gold-like features of bitcoin are more important than anything else.

Before encouraging big and small companies and businesses to accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment. It is best that you should spread the knowledge about Bitcoin to your friends, acquaintances, colleagues, or to any person you know. That way, more and more people will know about Bitcoin and if more people uses Bitcoin, companies and businesses will start to accept Bitcoin. And this will continue to spread. All will go with the flow,all you have to do is be the force that will trigger a big flow.

I couldn't agree more, all we have to do is to spread the Bitcoin news to the people in our sphere of contact and have them gain interest in it and in no time they'd start applying it in their daily life and with such more merchants will begin to accept them all over the world.

Do we really have to push for it? I mean, i think ge use of btc would come naturally in time as more and more people use it and businesses realize how it can help them. With btc's fast emergence and popularity, i don't think we need to pushbfor it as it will definitely come in time.

I have the same opinion. At present, it’s unfortunately little hard to make others realize about the worth of bitcoins and their amazing features. But that day is not far away, when bitcoins will be accepted universally. Even it has already begun. Many online sites are accepting bitcoins including Japanese airline as well.

I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

  • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
  • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
  • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
Education is the best bet for pushing bitcoins to everyone, as soon as we explain the profitability there is to gain in bitcoins to someone, the person will become really interested and may venture into it.

Actually we don't really need to push because when everyone realize the usage of Bitcoin they will start to accepting Bitcoin the problem is some people knew Bitcoin as a criminal coin, so they don't want to used or accept Bitcoin, if Bitcoin popularity and usage can be spread in positive way, I believe we will gained more users

What we need for now is to solve bitcoin problems which its decision in the hands of devs and the miners to vote and agreed about the solutions, there is nothing we can do except watch it and waiting, or you can give some suggestions to them.
Bitcoin has some advantages which people will attracted to, after more adopters get into it, they will think about use it in daily transactions as well. Imagine if stores/merchants owners use bitcoin too, they will accept bitcoin without we push them.

There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.

True. There is no need to push bitcoin because we all know that bitcoin has its own way of moving. Since more and more people are having much more interest in bitcoin, it can help to promote bitcoin through telling stories and positive statements about bitcoin to others who doesn't know about it.

Your motive is good.First,you could start from the beginning by approaching small retailers and explaining them the benefits of accepting bitcoin as payment.We could explain them that once payment is made in bitcoin,it could not be reversed.Also,we should explain them that bitcoin transactions are very fast and it has been legalized in japan and other countries too ready to legalize it.

And it would probably come naturally in time without us regular users doing a lot. Btc's popularity has grown tremendously especially this year and people are businesses im sure have taken notice of btc. So in the future, as businesses use btc, more and more would follow suit.

Bitcoin really helps to make businesses easier specially when transacting from one place to anothet place with ling distance. It makes transactions easier as we don't have to worry that our transactions might be suspended due to suspicious activity. Bitcoin helps us to transact as much as we can without limitations which is significant for every people.

The one above me is correct. There is no need to shove bitcoin into market. Once scaling is solved and transaction time is no longer a problem, this will come in naturally. The only thing that can be required from the community is its continuous support and usage of bitcoin. The market will adopt to it when it recognizes that the volume of bitcoin users is quite large or profitable.
This is true,there no really need to push up since it would really be recognize by the public gradually when they saw that its become more and more popular as the time goes by.If scaling would be solved then it would really be a great thing but we wont still be assured if it would happen. If it doesnt then still bitcoin wont stop to grow and we cant stop this thing.

Actually the problem lies in Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin has a limited supply and thus has inbuilt deflation. Each bitcoin will be worth more and more as the total number of Bitcoins maxes out. Since each bitcoin will be valued higher with each passing day, the question of when to spend becomes important. This way Bitcoin largely becomes an investment asset through which investors can earn higher returns (then why not).

Even if some bigger merchants and sellers start accepting bitcoin. I doubt people will be willing to pay in bitcoin when fiat, an inflationary currency is an available option.

It is not easy for us to promote the development of bitcoin, look at its history, it took 8 years to be recognized by some nations, and during those eight years it has struggled. Continuously, government is the most important factor to promote the development of bitcoin.

Unfortunately many people don't understand Bitcoin. When I mention Bitcoin to others that don't get it, I make sure to mention that one Bitcoin is worth about $2500. That price makes them curious because they begin to realize this is serious business and not some scam or game. It's been around long enough and has gained enough value to be an investment that people will begin to take seriously.

Another way to look at it is that it's okay if we are getting in on it before they are because we will have already become wealthy from Bitcoin long after they open their first Bitcoin wallet.

Of course bitcoin demand will into in effect with it's demand to the marketplace and it's sell value will also increase soon. So in trading of bitcoin at th market, you are making a better idea of profit gaining and losing. That why  we are now doing this lot of stuff like this promoting other coins im order to generate other sources of btc through trading and from bounty tokens.

In order to approach the sellers need to reduce prices for the transaction and accelerate the speed of the transaction. I hope that after August 1, some of these problems will be solved and then the sellers do agree to use bitcoins.

Why just retailers ? You may basically start from your friend. Yes, holding bitcoins also can be one of actual use of bitcoins. No one could ignore this. In my opinion bitcoin was created to act as currency as well as investment vehicle. Bitcoin can be a monetary system and can be a asset system.

In my understanding if we work on promoting bitcoins to be used as investments then people will automatically will start using as currency but it may take time. As per current trend of bitcoin ecosystem using bitcoins as an investment must be the right decisions.

Bitcoin has taken over the crypto currency market space. It is the biggest and best known digital currency. Many large companies accept bitcoin as a legitimate source of funds and  allow their online products to be bought with bitcoins. 

You may be holding your coins, but there are many individuals, companies and services using it for daily transactions. Adoption is increasing everyday. The hoarders may benefit in the long term, but those actually using the technology to do business are benefiting now. It is only a matter of time for bitcoin to spread further. You can help by spending some of your coins when possible.

I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

  • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
  • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
  • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
This is really a big idea that you made , since I already told about it in this forum indirectly but no one gave me much better response for me .
This is that time of the Bitcoin users day when confirmation for the Bitcoin was a big problem even with the high fee but at that time we have transferred all of our trading btc at the yobit.net and then stsrted to make use of yobit code to make buy sell . This idea works really in good ways because that was instant way of making deals without any need to confirmation and also there was no fee to use yobit code .
So I think if we want use the Bitcoin in the perfect way then we can start the third party option for the wallet to wallet transaction ,so that we don't need to wait for the confirmation during the shopping where Bitcoin is accepted .
Hope we came across such type of the service where everything depends upon us that how we want deal with the Bitcoin , and we can according to our need .

Slow and steady is best, true. After the tx confirmation time problems are resolved, I guess the best way to popularize it is if you can get some apps to accept it as payment, for example, stuff like Spotify.

I think it's better to target one market first, consolidate the hold on that before moving on. I believe in some places it's already possible to use it to buy game credits like Steam. Maybe there can be discount if you pay through bitcoins?

The acceptance and usage of Bitcoin is dependent on so many factors. Some of them are positive media propaganda, the benefits of Bitcoin should outweigh its negative effects, service charges should be at the insignificant level or zero charges. I believe if all this factors can be tackle its acceptability and usage will be more as compared to the current level of usage.

Yes I agree it is our responsibility to spread knowledge of bitcoin merchandizing in the society. I think on a personal behalf and being a representative of the bitcoin user’s community it will be a great effort and if some of the bitcoin users can run online store with bitcoin acceptance which will flourish bitcoin use and awareness in the community as well.

Well we could try this and see if its works. But the problem is some merchants or retailers will just shrug off this shoulders once they hear "bitcoin". They either don't have an idea of what it is or just simply don't want to implement for reasons only they knew. I think we should let them know that Japan, one of the global superpower right now is accepting bitcoin as payment. And if Japan can do it, maybe them as merchants or retailers can follow what Japan has set. Its a long shot approach but who knows, maybe a couple will check if is really true and may have to re-think about accepting bitcoin as payment.

For bitcoin to be used as currency in day to day life,we have to take the initiative steps.We should approach retailers individually and explain them the revolution created by bitcoin and its benefits.We must add that payment once made in bitcoin cannot be reversed and so they would show interest in accepting bitcoin as payment.

Well we could try this and see if its works. But the problem is some merchants or retailers will just shrug off this shoulders once they hear "bitcoin". They either don't have an idea of what it is or just simply don't want to implement for reasons only they knew. I think we should let them know that Japan, one of the global superpower right now is accepting bitcoin as payment. And if Japan can do it, maybe them as merchants or retailers can follow what Japan has set. Its a long shot approach but who knows, maybe a couple will check if is really true and may have to re-think about accepting bitcoin as payment.

The push which will come from the adopters and community simply will not work for its wider usage in the world. Big players like governments, banks and other businessman should let bitcoin first. We can't do anything.

Recommend it to your friends. If you are a business owner, make it a currency you receive payments in. If you have some friends politicians - invite them to a wonderful world of cryptocurrencies!

For increasing the use of bitcoin,we have to individually approach retailers and explain them the benefits and usage of bitcoins.They should be mentioned that once payment is done in bitcoin,it could not be reversed.They must be explained that payments made in bitcoins will not be taxed until governments legalizes bitcoins.

But the question remains, will most of the holders of Bitcoin be willing to pay in Bitcoin instead of its inflationary counterpart fiat? Most of the bitcoin holders consider it as an investment asset and not a currency. Holding Bitcoin now will give decent returns in future. This limits the bitcoin spending. Hence, doesn't make much difference for retailers.

Explaining to retailers could work if all of them are average in the use of Internet but over here, the retailers that can be convinced easily don't have access to the internet and they see the whole process as a stress on their own part. The ones that are average users on the other hand are weary of the legal implications in which they don't want to be on the other side of law. With all these difficulty, I guess only thing we can do is to keep on doing the popularity on an individual basis while government take a decision to support

There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
I'll agree with this one. We don't want to be sounded as desperate to them. It'll eventually reach their understanding about what advantages does Bitcoin have. Indeed, it will be in favor for us if more countries, especially if more people will engage themselves in Bitcoin, the market's demand will increase that'll lead to pumps. But maybe this not yet the time for Bitcoin to be legal globally in every country because it is not yet still on its peak of development.

    I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

    My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

    I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

    After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

    • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
    • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
    Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.[/li]
    [/list]
    • Alright to begin from the very first ,you have got to invest something so that you can pay your donations with bitcoin,don't forget the fact
      that bitcoin is volatile and if the price falls,you will be responsible for it.
    • I do believe that you can purchase Amazon gift cards,not sure just heard about it.If people should accept payments in the form of bitcoin,then why don't you think people will ask the sellers for paying in ethereum,litecoin or any other altcoin for that matter?
    • For personal use ,it is good that if he/she accepts the fees for any service rendered by the person in the form of bitcoin,but do you really think that a lot of people know about bitcoin?
    To  conclude with bitcoin has to grow,it has become famous than it ever was,people should start considering it as a thing and know the fact Bitcoin is limited and was not created for people who want to use it for buying "groceries".

      as a matter of fact, i think we need to fix transaction confirming first so when a transaction is made, people don't have to wait too long and they can see the amount is already send in their wallet. this is a serious thing that we should do because i think, when people especially business man wants to use bitcoin, they don't want to wait too long for just waiting confirmed transaction.

      secondly, maybe we need to make a price that is not too volatile, i mean maybe we can try to use the same thing like what money changer in every country do.

      third, we can trying to asked people to pay with altcoin like you said and i think altcoin is not too volatile like bitcoin but i admitted if altcoin is down, it could be down too far.

      fourth, i think its our job to introduce bitcoin to other people so they know about bitcoin and maybe we can make some courses in every city or maybe we can make like seminar and we invite people to come to learn about bitcoin and blockchain technology. until now, i think there is a few courses in the country that use this to introduce bitcoin to people.

      This is indeed the fact. The currency which has limited supply that too of some millions and is worldwide currency would automatically become a great asset for investment due to supply and demand curve. It is not meant for everyday shopping unless you don't have any fiat left to shop.

      Bitcoin will spread its awareness if we conduct seminars in the community. This is must be solved first the demand and supply that is limited before it can be accepted in buying for groceries. And also there is a need to be legalized and needs approval from the government. Before we can use it to buy for shopping so everything will follow.

      You don't have to worry about that. just like what our paper money does, bitcoin can also be used in different ways. both of  them can be used as an investment or a payment

      method to buy things and oh trading also. bottomline is there is someone who are using it as an investment by holding as well someone for trading and buying things from it.

      i think we have a great bitcoin trading volume as of now and its still increasing so no need to worry actually. the price wouldn't increase in the first place if the demand is low

      right? Although i agree that the slow confirmations and higher fees are halting stores from accepting it but there are other reasons aside from that isn't it?.

      No need for pushing but theres a greatload of need when it comes to informing people about it to add on a greatload of time also fits the list.

      What is the essence of pushing the bitcoin to be accepted at the store if you can exchange it into money and buy everything that can reach by using money. My point is as long as it is exchangeable at the fiat there's no need to push it to be accepted into store just to say that you can use bitcoin or buying stuffs.

      You are mistaken, a big mistake, bitcoin is only used by the store when it has been popular, or in other words, it is promoted before being used by the store.

      I hoped gradually they might realize how great it is & educate others.

      That could still work if someone could find the right people to get involved in crypto who would help it flourish and grow.

      Definitely as you say. My sibling often monitor the rate of btc and as I've noticed he has wider idea than I do about it. In his case, he uses btc for trading most of the time and with that it gives him a profit. On the other hand, he also experiences fluctuations thus, it urges him not to give up trading because it serves his motivation and source of extra income.

      It will be much better if we user,who uses it and have already knowledge on how bitcoin transactions happen. Made or make it as a business,store that accepts btc,a bitcoin center and lot more,maybe in the near future there are more business that will accept bitcoin since it's popularity increasing and many rich countries implemented it.

      Promoting something to make it more interesting for people to use it as currency, doesn't work when people (1) don't want to use it as such, since it doesn't add any sort of advantage over fiat in terms of shopping (especially on local level), and (2) it is mainly being used as investment, store of value, etc. Important factor is that if people spend their coins, where after that the price jumps up like mad, people feel bad. If the price goes down before people are looking to purchase something, they have to add funds in order to purchase the same object, or they just halt it completely, with the result of them again feeling bad. Clue is that whatever they do, there is no feeling of satisfaction.

      Well I do not see any problem with you demanding bitcoin as a payment since it is your service that you promote but you should also take in consideration that not all people know bitcoin. Even if your intent is for the widespread of bitcoin in the community, if the people around you does not accept the technological advancement of payment, then your mission may lead to failure. Then again, there are many ways in spreading the knowledge about bitcoin and this may not involve anything to do with payment or services.

      When it comes to currencies, there is no way to accelerate the process, gold was chosen all over the world as the currency of choice because of its characteristics, no one pushed for it, the dollar became the most powerful currency of the world naturally without anyone pushing for it because the US had the mos reserves of gold, and if bitcoin is going to be used then it needs to grow naturally as people adopt bitcoin on their own without anyone pushing it.

      I agree we don't need to push it the way you suggest op. The number of people who either have adopted or at least know about bitcoin today is much more than it was about 5 years ago. Bitcoin is evolving as a complete system and the growth of bitcoin has been on an increase and hence consistent form the day one. So let this child grow the natural way and I believe it won't take long before it becomes a global currency.

      One simple way to publicize Bitcoin or spread the word about it is to simply ask the businesses, retailers, and stores that you go to if they accept Bitcoins as payment. It will begin to get them thinking about it and about the demands of the customers. They may even ask what Bitcoins is or what the benefits of it are to them or to other customers. This can start a dialog with them to get the ball rolling.

      This may not seem like much of an impact, but if hundreds of people do this everyday, some businesses will at least start looking into it. That is the first step to acceptance.

      The part of making them realize its not a ponzi scheme is what caught my attention because that's what the media seems to make it looks like focusing on someone who investeted 100$ several years back and now a millionaire nor even spread the real purpose of bitcoin and how its being used for the payment of goods and sevrices all across the globe and breaking border barriers this is where I think we can do more.

      It's true, the Bitcoin users are using it more into investment than as a currency and this is probably because of the lack of availability for its use. There is, however, some progress as to its adoption and acceptance. It has been recognized in different countries and perhaps this would lead to its actual use and may someday become a currency.

      To add to your list, perhaps if Bitcoin is advertised and introduced to society then it would pave the way towards more usage. An increase of its popularity would attract retailers and businesses to allow Bitcoin as a payment system if there were a lot of consumers that use it.

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      I agree, there is no need of pushing, let it go with the flow and besides there are many people believing that bitcoin is very useful nowadays. And there are many advertising that promotes the use of bitcoin so don't be worried.

      Bitcoin was actually made to be use as money and current we are using it as a store of values. Using bitcoin in another way make it to lose it value as a currency. I think we can help promote bitcoin by teaching people how it works, what it was made to be and how we can benefit from it using it as money. We can promote it value through social media and television programmes.

      We have to start from the beginning, after that we start to approach retailers and explain how to pay its bitcoin, all retailers have to be prompted so that they all understand how this game will work properly. Now even many countries that have been doing legalize bitcoin.

      That is happening so because of all this prognoses about bitcoin's price. Even the Wall Street joined with their prediction, correct me if I'm wrong, 55000$ per BTC. Normally people don't want to skip such chance to earn, easy chance BTW, everything you need is just to keep. But I'm not a such person, I'm unemployed and I cash out my weekly earnings for my daily costs. Such people as I am make bitcoin to roll in the economy  :D

      Actually it will remain the situation because Bitcoin valuation will increase with time. There is surge in demand but supply is limited. Just 650k Bitcoin a year before next halving and demand is most probably in millions (guess on the basis of recent legalization of Bitcoin in many countries). So, Bitcoin works well as an investment asset than a currency. Bitcoin isn't better than fiat for everyday transaction. Fiat currency being inflationary currency doesn't make it worth saving and hence suitable for everyday transactions.

      I see a lot of people talking about Steemit lately. It is a pretty interesting concept. I have myself browsed over there.

      It is a platform built around a blockchain that lets you earn rewards for posting Blogs/Comments and curating others content. I see that it is very active over there, with people earnings thousands of dollars worth of Steem and having a large following(similar to Youtube or Twitter, but paid a lot better).

      I think platforms like Steemit and some other coins/platforms naturally draw in more regular average people. Many average people are using Steemit and are exposed to Cryptocurrenty of Steem by participating.

      A very intereting approach!

      Nice ideas the most important thing is to first educate them what bitcoin is how does it works , what benefit it can have on their business what's the cost of setting up and what's the future. If we explain them all this and then asked them to implent most likely we will be successful in doing that and cam expand bitcoin

      If you try and push people to use bitcoin, it won't end well. Things like bonuses it benefits can and will be taken advantage of. What we really need to do is spread positive awareness about it and beat down the stigma around Bitcoin. Most people will think it's sketchy/illegal.

      First of all, if you are the first who discover the benefits and uses of bitcoin you are the one who need to learn and experience the hindrances of bitcoin. Some people did not agree if they have no proof so if you have lot of experience and you prove thay bitcoin is true and legit they will encourage to use the bitcoin. The uses of bitcoin have many ways, they need also to read and learn about the bitcoin before they go to the most deep usage of bitcoin. First you need to know the different usage and then learn steps by steps how to use and how to earn. Then get an experience to the one usage before you go to another. The more you have an information about bitcoin the more ways you can earn and also make a solution to the problems. The only you can help to know the true usage of bitcoin is your self.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

           I am agree with you, I think we need time to fully accept the bitcoin as payment in every countries. We need to spread the bitcoin knowledge to the people to convince them to used also bitcoin in their transactions. But before to spread it to other we need to discover more about bitcoin before we can teach someone about it, because this is will be our key to convince them to use it.

      "The only you can help to know the true usage of bitcoin is your self."

      Even though this is true, it is important to remember most people do not discover Bitcoin by themselves. It is their friend or family or coworker who introduces them to it, then they teach them about it and some people do not care and others research for themselves and learn more about it and get involved in the community and start buying, trading, etc.

      Personally, someone (my friend) told me about Bitcoin. Then I heard him talk all the time about it and finally I started to become interested, but I did not listen to him to buy some and now I would be a millionaire. :-/

      The bitcoin demand has been driven in our world so it means Bitcoin will reach $10000 ten years from now. Bitcoin still continues to be intense interest in digital currency all over the world. Bitcoin will simply become popular store of value much. The confirmation or transaction time is not a problem because other remittances upgraded their system to make transaction's easier and fast.

      Yes you may be right and bitcoin can actually be use to trade and gain daily income to buy goods and services but the is the scaling issue that delays the confirmation of transactions but it's only a matter of time until it gets resolved cause aftee the split in August 1 which is the recent hardfork, segwit will follow that fix the delay transactions and malleability and all sorts of things then bitcoin can be once again be use for micro payments lik buying coffee,pizza etc. The price should increase and expected to reach some new all time highs.

      Yeah. These are great ideas. I had never thought about the amnesty or charitable works one, but I guess it is a good start. Charities have wide-reaching connections around the entire world and they can easily spread the word about Bitcoin. Since they are always looking for the maximum amount of donations, I think that they may happily accept Bitcoin donations. That is a very insightful idea.

      Another thing that you could perhaps add to the list is advertising via Facebook or Youtube or any kind of social media. Small things like changing you profile background on Facebook into the symbol of Bitcoin (not Bitcoin cash :)) can assist in spreading the word about Bitcoin. And if you have a successful Youtube channel it may be a good idea to add a Bitcoin advertisement in the beginning. Give this idea some thought and consider adding it to your list.

To us this is something special to other people it's really just a confusion thing and they're not ready for it yet. At least most of them aren't.

      One thing am sure of is that bitcoin is here to stay, but when it will be accepted at every point of sales is what we are anticipating for, some online stores accept bitcoin as they means of payments eg Microsoft when you want to buy software online. If bitcoin can be institutionalized like every other currency it will be a good thing.
      But that will still be difficult to achieve considering the fact that bitcoin is not own by any country of the world, but if it can be accepted as means of buying goods and services across all the leading online stores in the world, bitcoin will gain more popularity.

      Yes, pushing should be in terms of action not just theoretically. It is applicable everywhere so definitely it will work for spreading bitcoin awareness too. But in my opinion there could be no concrete definition for the actual use of bitcoin.

      If you think being used as a currency is the actual use of bitcoin then most probably you have misinterpreted the usage of bitcoin and its system. Practically we can derive any applications from bitcoin that is the reason we are able to use bitcoin as an investment and we are able to use it for store of value.

      We can push its use by teaching people about bitcoins. Moreover teaching retailers about these bitcoins will really help us in order to make the usage of bitcoins common. The more awareness is the more common is the usage of bitcoins. I personally believe that within few years, they will be made legal.

      That only helps to a certain extent. In most cases people are only here to make a few quick bucks, and that's really it - they have zero interest in getting to know what Bitcoin is, and how it exactly works. People that are genuinely interested in the technical aspects of Bitcoin, will invest time into educating themselves. Just look at how many newbies pop up, where their first priority is how they can gain activity points, what signature campaign there is for newbies, etc - money is their only incentive.

      Moreover teaching retailers about these bitcoins will really help us in order to make the usage of bitcoins common.
      Retailers don't care about Bitcoin, that's a fact. The only point where you can help them is to explain how they can avoid dealing with volatility by making use of third party payment processors, and also highlight the fact that chargebacks are not possible. Ultimately, the only thing they care about is generating sales volume.

      I personally believe that within few years, they will be made legal.
      There are already a few countries having legalized Bitcoin, so that is a very decent first step towards global adoption and awareness.

      I can notice that some establishments already accept bitcoin as payment which is a good sign since by making it an option, the people who does not know about it will get curious and maybe eventually be interested to join the community. Though mostly it is used when paying online not the direct one like when you are paying for groceries and you pay bitcoin, still it is a progress. To push the actual use of bitcoin, I can convince my friends to access the site which they can use bitcoin to shop or book a flight or pay their bills.

      May be everyone is looking at bitcoin as the way of earning huge return of investments, a way of making profits. We will need to change that thinking in at least 70% of bitcoin users. The number is just speculation but it should work at tha time as they won't just hold the bitcoin and let it RIP there to grow. Then the transactions will be faster and bitcoin will start moving in the market lightening fast. The more it will be traded the more it will gain value against the goods and services.

      That is the general belief of holders of Bitcoin. We really don't see it as an alternate fiat. Rather we see it as an asset like a property that should be held until it appreciates. However, I don't think that attitude is what holds the global acceptability of Bitcoin. Its erratic price fluctuations, among others does. One may accept it as payment and the price drops within few minutes of that even before hitting the receiver's wallet. Also, there are issues of backlog of unresolved transactions and high fees.
      I think I understand what you're trying to say,  volatility sucks in the context
      of using crypto as a currency.   It does.  But how to push mainstream acceptance?
      How about this.  Just use it at places that already take it.  When other merchants
      see it being used, they'll catch on.  I don't see a better way, because you can't force
      anyone to accept it. 
      Frankly I see bitcoim more as an asset anyhow and would much rather spend my
      filthy fiat.

      While Bitcoin definitely offers people the option to function as currency, I have never seen it as such. In all honesty, it doesn't make any sense for me to spend my Bitcoins on whatever goods. It (1) doesn't offer me a better payment experience than fiat, and (2) I too am interested in Bitcoin to function as store of value. It helps me in keeping my wealth sitting in Bitcoin outside the reach of governments and banks (the real thieves). Bitcoin offers people the freedom to choose - if one likes to not spend anything, that's fine. If one likes to spend his coins on all kinds of goods, then that's fine too. No one is forcing us to do something we don't want. :)

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      I guess the better way to do it is, we must share it to the potentials investors to have bitcoin accepted to their business.
      and conduct a short seminar about the basic usage of bitcoin and show some demo's of where to get bitcoin, and how are we gonna use it in the actual encashment here in my country.

      If you try and push people to use bitcoin, it won't end well. Things like bonuses it benefits can and will be taken advantage of. What we really need to do is spread positive awareness about it and beat down the stigma around Bitcoin. Most people will think it's sketchy/illegal.
      Correct it is impossible to try to force people to accept a new concept like bitcoin very fast, it is going to be a painfully slow process, many people are happy with their fiat and the way it works because they get all of those things like televisions and smart phones, what we need is for the system to start failing again then people will be looking for alternatives and for the first time an alternative is going to exist in the form of bitcoin.

           I am agree with you, I think we need time to fully accept the bitcoin as payment in every countries. We need to spread the bitcoin knowledge to the people to convince them to used also bitcoin in their transactions. But before to spread it to other we need to discover more about bitcoin before we can teach someone about it, because this is will be our key to convince them to use it.
      You can’t force or push people into making use of bitcoin.
      Is there choice; they’ve got to choose whether they want to make use of it or not. But it’s quite good if you people supporting Bitcoin start showing “Bitcoin Accepted “.

      Caring about merchant adoption is so 2014. I remember a few years ago, everyone thought that Dell or Microsoft adding Bitcoin payment options was the gateway to mainstream adoption. Remember the Paypal Pump? :D
      These were indeed the fun times. I remember how people were dreaming about Amazon and Ebay accepting Bitcoin at some point, because if that would happen, mass adoption would be taking place, Bitcoin would reach insane levels, bla bla bla. :D

      Now, it seems that Bitcoin users are increasingly becoming aware that the real value of Bitcoin is censorship resistance and value storage. I have credit cards with cash back rewards that I can use for consumer goods. My bitcoins are for my retirement fund...
      While Bitcoin definitely offers people the option to function as currency, I have never seen it as such. In all honesty, it doesn't make any sense for me to spend my Bitcoins on whatever goods. It (1) doesn't offer me a better payment experience than fiat, and (2) I too am interested in Bitcoin to function as store of value. It helps me in keeping my wealth sitting in Bitcoin outside the reach of governments and banks (the real thieves). Bitcoin offers people the freedom to choose - if one likes to not spend anything, that's fine. If one likes to spend his coins on all kinds of goods, then that's fine too. No one is forcing us to do something we don't want. :)
      This is what makes bitcoins so special because they can be used both as an investment and a currency. Bitcoins have all the characteristics of sound money that is why many online websites have started accepting bitcoins as payments. I don’t think so there should be any problem in legalizing bitcoins worldwide. They can be used simultaneously with conventional currencies.

      I don't think that's why. I think that businesses are just looking for new markets to tap, and enjoy irreversibility of payments. The vast majority of online merchants still simply use Bitpay or other similar payment processors.

      I look forward to a world where businesses accept bitcoin directly, and they would do so because Bitcoin's network effect will have become so massive that fiat conversion is unnecessary. At that point, we can truly cut fiat money out of the equation and stop being slaves to the central banks.

      One of, if not the most amazing application for Bitcoin are the companies that allow to pay with a credit card, but in Bitcoin.
      You load your Bitcoin on their site and when you make transactions with the debit card they send you, it automatically deducts the equivalent amount from your Bitcoin balance and pays the merchant in fiat!

      The main reason for which retailers have not started accepting bitcoin payment is because most of them are not familiar with bitcoin.So they should be individually approached and must be explained about bitcoin progress and that payment once made in bitcoin is irreversible.Or else,a seminar should be conducted by inviting some of them to a public place and explain them about them the benefits of bitcoin.By this way,we could increase bitcoin usage.

      This would be a possible thing for which you can get some merchants to be curios about bitcoin but they will surely end up on ignoring it because they will know later on that bitcoin do really have unstable prices on which we do know that businesses wont really like such thing because they would really be afraid that they will lose up money when bitcoins price tend to go down.

Businesses getting paid in fiat doesn't add real economic activity to the Bitcoin network. When businesses start accepting Bitcoin and actually holding and participating in a fully non-fiat economy... Then, things will get interesting.

      For some reason, everyone is sure that Bitcoin will save the economy not only of a certain country, but of the entire financial system of the world. In comparison with today's situation, even a little problem will be very strongly perceived by all people. Just look at how today you are pumping the situation around the Bitcoin counterpart. After all, today's situation has not been exhausted and we are all in a tense supper. How will things go with the split of Bitcoin.

      We can only push the actual use of bitcoin if we will have a country that fully accept the cryptocurrencies like bitcoin because if we have that country then pushing the limit of actual use of bitcoin will become an easy task for the bitcoin users around the world because there will be no government or even law that will be against bitcoin.
      For its use the country approval is not important but the action of the people s important because if the people of any country will like bitcoin and they will like to use only this currency for their use like purchase and sale then it will be implemented by the state keeping in view the demand of the citizens.

      If you mean the legal use of Bitcoin in a particular country, then you have to take into account the fact that the state in any way wants to report taxes on all financial turnover of the crypto currency. And This suggests that each user will pay taxes from all purchases or sales of coins. And also every Coin that has earned.

      That's the disadvantage for having the government back up for the usage of bitcoin. But in return the demand of bitcoin will be higher and higher and that will be the time that you can just let the taxes eaten by them. As in return of their support they are worth to be paid with taxes for supporting the blood of the country.

      We already have a country like that and its name is japan, I think the prosperity that bitcoin will bring to Japan will soon open the eyes of the people of other parts of the world and they will begin to ask for the same regulation, just think about all the money that is moving now in Japan thanks to bitcoin and its recent surge in price of the last days.

      Well indeed if we see from all the facets there is that potential bitcoin is already supposed to be done socializing to investors or businessmen who are in our country. Because if we remain silent and wait till all the people already know about the bitcoin, then it's just a waste of time and we will not get a big advantage, because of the problem. So if you want to get a lot of advantage have certainly had to work hard and help promote bitcoin

      I do not see the need to push the use of bitcoin so hurriedly, because we must remember that this is an innovative technology with less than a decade of life and we must allow it to evolve at its own pace, as it has done so adequately. It is only a matter of being patient because I am sure that in about five years the bitcoin will be a very coveted good all over the world; meanwhile we must value our current position to take advantage of our very early adoption.

      There is no need to push Bitcoin. If we pushed you hard people are going to just clam up and not want anything to do with it. To us this is something special to other people it's really just a confusion thing and they're not ready for it yet. At least most of them aren't. It's like anything else that has value, basically do your thing and when people see what you're doing and they become interested they'll ask you.
      i think that it will take a little more time when bitcoin will have such facilities that it will be use as currency in local shops. although in some countries and area people are already using it for such purposes. but still in most of the place people do not have such facilities to use bitcoin for shopping in local shops.

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      That's right, We don't need to rush a thing. Everything must be proceed in a right manner process of how to use bitcoin.
      Moreover, if we want to push it through, let us show the actual usages of bitcoin but not pushing them in a hurry, but let them spontaneously use bitcoin according to their will.

      But it will not be enough to push the actual use of bitcoin by just saying "hey we can pay bills easily with bitcoin." There are people that are not into this sort of features but everyone's heart is into the profit or by making more money in bitcoin. And that can happen through saying that bitcoin is worth to invest because of its high value.

These little things can help and can go a long way if more people are doing these things. Ask for shops if they know anything about bitcoin and if they don't, discuss the benefits they can get from bitcoin.

      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

      To push for the actual use of bitcoin what I think we should do is we should first implement technoilogies or draft resolutions to maintain the order and the usage for BTC. Also, we have to readily be ready for such an integration as this would need some new hardware and education to the owners, investors and to the consuming public as some do not have any know how to the currency. I agree that given some thought and with some test that BTC can be a future for currency.

      It would really takes effort and resources if you are really serious on this matter on spreading the awareness of bitcoin. Adoption will slowly cling up and for sure people would really know on bitcoins existence. Pushing isnt really necessary but it would somehow fasten up.

Most of people arent aware on such thing this is why if you dont like to be traced specially on your transactions online regarding on money matters then bitcoin would really be the best way because no one would able to track you out.
      I think they are aware they just do not care anymore, people have chosen to be connected to the internet all the time and reveal everything about their lives over some sort of privacy and since that is what people want then I do not think we can do much to change the direction of the tide, people are sharing more about themselves online than what they do face to face and that is a trend that seems to be gaining force.

      First is creating awareness for the people around you.
      Tell the people around you what is bitcoin, how its operates and it benefits.
      And the easiest way to let all your friends know about bitcoin is by using social media sites e.g. Facebook or Twitter.

      Honestly, I see no reason to "push" the use of Bitcoin. Some friends know that I use it and invest in it, and I'm happy to answer any questions they have. But I'm hesitant to promote it to people given its speculative nature. I hate the idea of people blaming me for their financial losses (even though I am very clear when I talk about it that there is risk in investing).

      The fact is that Bitcoin's network effect is all that is required. It is continually spreading, and the "S-curve" of adoption is occurring as we speak. We don't need to do anything more; the wheels are already in motion.

      The fee is starting to be rather noticeable. The credit card fee of 3% is almost preferable for smaller transactions.  Hopefully this will correct itself in time to keep bitcoin competitive with other payment options.

But ofcourse give them advices on how they can usually use thier coins for the better one.

      yes i agree on that sharing it to other is like giving an opportunity and income to the people in a community .in short it is verry helpful to those who didnt have work yet.so then sharing is the fraction  of pushing it to the actual use of bitcoin.

      I think the best way to push the actual usage of Bitcoin is by establishing a lot of Bitcoin merchants or compelling merchants of various goods and services to accept Bitcoin. Secondly, it's imperative for us to solve all issues associated with the Bitcoin network so that there will be faster confirmation and somewhat low transaction fees so that it will come in handy when making smaller transactions.

      It's a good idea. I remember a thread about a wedding where some guests used bitcoin as a gift for the newly wed. So I hope this would be a trend in some occasions where guest will give btc on the celebrant. It's informing the people and also making them a bitcoin user.

      It it natural that the fee is increasing the more bitcoin gets used by the public so the demand of it has gone up but until recently the supply remained the same, the miner could only accommodate so many transactions in a single block, this made the price of the fees to skyrocket but now that segwit has been activated I think we are going to see a reduction in the fees in the next months.

      Pushing the use of bitcoin or the physical use of btc is creating adequate awareness and advert which I think that this forum talk on bitcoin and campaigns are already pushing.
      With very little time ahead, I so much believe something very good will come in the way of people who are having btc and other crytos now. So hold it firmly or invest wisely.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      Indeed. A real characteristic of a currency was to be capable of being use as a term of payment in various business establishments. But the statement that we must push bitcoin usage, I think it is no need for that thing to do. Because with its own features providing real benefits into mankind, many people will be just get attracted into it and will continue and pursue using it on a daily life situation. As retailers and businessmen will see that the consumers demand was to widely use bitcoin for payment purpose, they will surely implement the operation of bitcoin usage to get along with the consumers demands, needs and wants. Because that is how business runs. Go with the majority flow.

      There are many people like, not only students have that problem but housewives as well, a housewife cannot get a regular job because she takes care of the kids and the house but with bitcoin she can make some additional income from her home on her free time, and this also applies to a person with a disability, there is a lot of discrimination out there, but bitcoin does not discriminate, as long as you can do the job you get the earnings.

      I think that the only way to make people feel more confortable using bitcoin is just by promoting it, doesnt matter where, but it has to be more pushed and promoted on the TV, mass social media websites, like facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
      That is the only way to make it more popular/useful. And this is far the best option that i can suggest for it.

      I believe that bitcoin should not be only be hold but also be used. We can push the use of bitcoin once there are more institutions and retail store make bitcoin available as a payment. Like in our country, people are tempted to use bitcoin because there are transaction like cable and electric fee are bitcoin base. Bitcoin were also used as prepaidload or payment for online games. Bitcoins are used once there are available transaction that can be done. It would be also push once it can be used for shopping and buying essential needs.

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      Indeed. There is really no need for pushing the actual usage of bitcoin. Let the people decide on their own if they are going to choose to use bitcoin or not. In fact, bitcoin has already been established its legal and wide usage in other countries with no force. It is just so happrn that bitcoin is really attractive through its price rate that make individuals engage on it and use it for different purpose. Widely use and demand make the government realize that bitcoin usage must be legalize it was not a forced phenomenon. Let bitcoin continue to grow and popular and the next thing to happen is that its actual usage will now be establish.

                                 Well i think its because more countries are being hesitant to decide if they are going to legalized it or not, and i think they are just waiting for someone or some other country that would legalized it first and then they would be following it so on. One of the problems also and as you have stated about transaction fees and hoping someday it would be resolve also, and for those who doesn't clearly understand bitcoin someday they will realize it though.

      Most owners are in it as investors for a longer time.
      And even if you are not an investor you must admit that the price of bitcoin went up. Very quick, very fast.
      If somebody tells you to use your coins, it is like the advice to give an opportunity, or to give money away.

      yes that is right that increasing transaction fee is a hurdle for, but i think the number of bitcoin users is also another reason, i think that with the passage of time when bitcoin users will increase then people will like to use bitcoin for which it has created i think that it will take some more time because still the users of bitcoin are below 2%.

      I must say that this is what the real beauty of Bitcoin is, you need not to push anyone for this. It is more like that honeypot towards which everyone gets attracted. All you need to do is to let that individual know about this thing and that’s all. He will get into this business by himself as he would seeing a very bright future by getting into it.

      For me, if the high transaction fees and block size debate is solved, more and more people will go to bitcoin for whatever purpose they want to. We don't need to actually promote it. It will fly by itself. Right now, a lot of people don't know about it, but for me I don't insist on it. Let them know it by themselves and I'm pretty sure they will go back to me to ask more questions about bitcoin. Let bitcoin promote itself.
      Just imagine if the transactions would be developed enough just to deal with more faster and reliable transaction in the future. Because now we could used Bitcoin as a form of crypto-currency that we could used in transactions and if problems or we can consider as bugs our fixed , it may result for Bitcoin development and decentralization making people choose Bitcoin as a mode of transactions.

      As for me, you should not think on pushing it's actual use when it is not yet ready, as per the current environment of the market bitcoin cannot be used on how you think it should work, bitcoin was created for anonymity but if you really want to mainstream bitcoin then you should do the advertisement, i do love bitcoin in a mainstream environment but i still want bitcoin to be used as a anonymous way of paying fees.

      Some countries are actually starting to regulate it and then later on, many others will follow. It's a step by step process and then eventually, we will notice that even the small stores will start accepting it as mode of exchange but then the issue with transaction fees should be solve first cause people who just live day to day to eat cannot afford to use it and then maybe bitcoin would just be a store of value for those who can afford it and not as a currency if fees can't be reduced.

      I think it would be through advertisement. Maybe we could advertise Bitcoin and address it to the people through television commercials, radio commercials, billboards, flyers etc. Through this, people will be curious and will research on about it.

      Advertisement will be a big help but if we will look back at the beginnings of bitcoin. There's no advertisement, it's all about internet and it's great future. But at this moment, advertisements will be a very good way to push the usage of bitcoin especially if someone influential will try to say good things about bitcoin and attracts people to use it.

Local exchanges are doing their thing with promos here and there but that is a small step towards more recognition of bitcoin.

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      I agreed in what you just said, Bitcoin became popular without this things but because people discovered its benefits and features bitcoin has been spread out the whole world through their experiences they've shared to their friends and others. And look what happen now into bitcoin is very well known and popular in terms of the internet.

      I think that the only way to make people feel more confortable using bitcoin is just by promoting it, doesnt matter where, but it has to be more pushed and promoted on the TV, mass social media websites, like facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
      That is the only way to make it more popular/useful. And this is far the best option that i can suggest for it.
      Promoting bitcoin can make it more popular but it is not going to make it more useful, that needs to come from the devs and the recent upgrades to bitcoin have that aim in mind, especially the lighting network that will augment the capacity of handling transactions from 2 transactions per second to millions of transactions per second when that happens bitcoin is going to be ready for the adoption we have been waiting for.

      I think the best way to push the actual usage of Bitcoin is by establishing a lot of Bitcoin merchants or compelling merchants of various goods and services to accept Bitcoin. Secondly, it's imperative for us to solve all issues associated with the Bitcoin network so that there will be faster confirmation and somewhat low transaction fees so that it will come in handy when making smaller transactions.
      There are many people like, not only students have that problem but housewives as well, a housewife cannot get a regular job because she takes care of the kids and the house but with bitcoin she can make some additional income from her home on her free time, and this also applies to a person with a disability, there is a lot of discrimination out there, but bitcoin does not discriminate, as long as you can do the job you get the earnings.
      We can definitely push the actual use of bitcoins in our respective societies by spreading awareness about bitcoins. We can start campaigns that will spread knowledge about bitcoins. Besides we can begin charity at our homes by teaching our closed ones about bitcoins via videos and examples of new millionaires that have been evolved by the courtesy of bitcoins.

      We can by spreading and explaining for those people who really interested to know on how it works in our society.

      when a btc user starts to do actual business that accepts btc then little by little it can ba acquired and tried by many btc users and will soon be in numbers of those who accepts btc as payment in their business. It should be wtart by those who know the power of btc.

      For now, we are still in the step of introducing Bitcoin. This is an important step because when majority of the people are now using Bitcoin, we can now use Bitcoin as transactions to every day transaction as simple as buying food, paying for the fare and many more. But for now, Bitcoin should be advertised through different ways. It is now time for people to realize the big opportunity of Bitcoin and how it can give high Return on Equity.

      For me, if the high transaction fees and block size debate is solved, more and more people will go to bitcoin for whatever purpose they want to. We don't need to actually promote it. It will fly by itself. Right now, a lot of people don't know about it, but for me I don't insist on it. Let them know it by themselves and I'm pretty sure they will go back to me to ask more questions about bitcoin. Let bitcoin promote itself.
      Just imagine if the transactions would be developed enough just to deal with more faster and reliable transaction in the future. Because now we could used Bitcoin as a form of crypto-currency that we could used in transactions and if problems or we can consider as bugs our fixed , it may result for Bitcoin development and decentralization making people choose Bitcoin as a mode of transactions.
      First definition of Bitcoin is a tool for helps us create transaction between countries easier than other gates like Bank, WU, PayPal ... Just by the value make Bitcoin today like stock and almost transactions use for purpose trading, investment.

      I agree with you, we are not suppose to just hold, because if BTC wants a future, it needs practical value, and can't just be used for trade. The thing is, that I think bitcoin utility will come on a natural way as the coin gets some more development. As soon as the Lightning Network gets implemented, I think the utility of BTC will just grow exponentially. They will be able to compete with paypal, mastercard and visa, in terms of transaction speed, so yes, they can be used for normal grocery buys after that (I heard UBER will accept BTC in a near future).

      Before bitcoin can be used as a currency like the USD prices must be stable . Bitcoin needs to be rid of its volatile nature but it might not happen in the near future 'cause people primarily see it as an asset to trade , especially those that are new to bitcoin see this as potential investment tool because of its price going higher every time. What needs to happen is lessen its volatility in to manageable level so merchants and consumers need not to be worried that the bitcoin they send will not change significantly before arriving in their wallet. I think any attempt to lower the volatility right now will just be artificial at best, and I'm not even sure if there's possible way to do that. Lets just nature takes its course gradually.

And by using those medias for the actual push of bitcoin's usage it's very possible to happen. We can reach those people that are not aware of bitcoin with it and it's no hassle and effortless.

      I think there is no need to push bitcoin because the bitcoin is growing already very fast. Indeed we need to add some ad to promote bitcoin and we need to trust the process of the bitcoin and let that big campaign like signature and the PayPal increase the worth of the bitcoin so we need to work with the bitcoin and should spread it as much as we can it will make the price of the bitcoin high more and more.

      Bitcoin is pushing the life of the people so I think it does not needed to be pushed it just need to proceed in the right manner of how to carry and how to use bitcoin, but if someone want to push it through! Just show the simple use of bitcoin and asking them not be in hurry and let them handle bitcoin with care and attention so that they will feel relax and will find bitcoin easy and reliable so no need to push indeed.

      Indeed. There is really no need for bitcoin to be pushed just to become a legal currency used worldwide. Because itself is the one attracting its own investors and consumers to get engage with it. No other reason to force and push bitcoin into the people because they will soon realize and see its importance to mankind bringing its benefits to many people.

There is nothing that we are going to get out of it being used more that we have not gotten already and there is no reason to push it.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      I think the people should must aware to the bitcoin before they will use it. We should educate all of the citizen about bitcoin for them to have a knowledge about bitcoins and have many advantages and benefits that we can have because of the bitcoins.

      It's already happening btc has become popular in any ways as today. With the bitcoin value that grows daily it is pushing the normal way. It has been adapting by more users that bitcoin become well known. So  others it is been using already.

      For this you need to stimulate trade in the Internet for bitcoins. In the first place is to reduce the price of small transactions and accelerate their passage. There are certainly other problems, but you deal with them then.

      In my country, there are currently two major exchanges are both of them are working to build such awarness amount the potential users of Bitcoin. Even though less than 1% of the population have ever heard about Bitcoin but such practices would defineatly help to inculcate Bitcoin and blockchain technology.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      We do not actually need to evenly push bitcoin for it to be use in actual or real market because it has already made itself valuable that attracts many consumers and even potential investors to go engage and involve with it. The actual usage of bitcoin will be just depending on the people if they have successfully satisfy their craving or standard to get in touch with a certain thing for wide usage. Though you have just stated various ways to persuade many people and even companies, I think it do not even need to be pushed, it is just they have to fully accept it for it to be able to be use in actual.

      There is no reason to push the use of Bitcoin and I do not know why you guys always push that agenda. It is going to make its way in as fast as it will and that is fine. There is nothing that we are going to get out of it being used more that we have not gotten already and there is no reason to push it. Bitcoin will make it way in the society naturally and automatically with time.

      I agree.  It's already happening.  The 'tipping point' will come and then BTC will be everywhere.
      It's already happening btc has become popular in any ways as today. With the bitcoin value that grows daily it is pushing the normal way. It has been adapting by more users that bitcoin become well known. So  others it is been using already.
      Asians and Africans have not fully figured out about Bitcoin since there are still many who are not yet literate about the internet in asia and africa.

      Well that's looking well beyond the regular use of bitcoin and probably one day it can be adressed. But right now, let's just look at how we can promote.it within our own communities. Im positive that more people have at least heard of bitcoin so it's not going to be as hard as a few years ago

      It is hard to push the actual use of bitcoin in this year. The price of bitcoin is very high which make more people hold their bitcoin instead of spending it. And if the price keeps going up, bitcoin will become a term of investment and people will not use bitcoin as a currency anymore. They will hold bitcoin for profit and it will cause a lot of negative effects to bitcoin and its technology. Bitcoin was meant to be a currency, not a form of investment

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      It is actually true. We do not need to put so much effort on making Bitcoin as a time of transaction. Becasue it system could make it possible. We just need to continue our support through it system in terms of using Bitcoin in transactions, investments and trading that actually also give us an opportunity to earn at the same time.

      I agree that there's no need of pushing the adoption of bitcoin. The adoption will come over time. The system still isn't perfect but we're getting there. I also don't  think that the majority if the population is ready for the change yet.

      I think that the only way to make people feel more confortable using bitcoin is just by promoting it, doesnt matter where, but it has to be more pushed and promoted on the TV, mass social media websites, like facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
      That is the only way to make it more popular/useful. And this is far the best option that i can suggest for it.
      Promoting bitcoin can make it more popular but it is not going to make it more useful, that needs to come from the devs and the recent upgrades to bitcoin have that aim in mind, especially the lighting network that will augment the capacity of handling transactions from 2 transactions per second to millions of transactions per second when that happens bitcoin is going to be ready for the adoption we have been waiting for.
      when a btc user starts to do actual business that accepts btc then little by little it can ba acquired and tried by many btc users and will soon be in numbers of those who accepts btc as payment in their business. It should be wtart by those who know the power of btc.
      As I have said this is going to come when the fees get smaller and the confirmations are faster, at this moment it does not make much sense to start a small business online that accepts bitcoin, since the fees are so high that people are not going to buy your products because the fee of the transaction is so much higher than the product you are selling.

      Regularly using bitcoin even for small purchases would amount to something big if done by many individuals. We should not just hold everything and allot a small portion also for payment. The more transactions that are being processed, the bigger the influence of bitcoin would be. It might be small steps taken but at least we are doing our share of making bitcoin more and more visible to a wider audience.

      I think that is exactly the problem with bitcoin. The more it gets attention, the more people buy it, and the higher the price. And the less it becomes really used.
      In the end, we are all here for the money. And using a good that increases its value, that is nothing people do when they want to earn money.
      I really do not see a realistic way out for bitcoin that leads back from being an investment to being used as a form of payment again.

      I agree with you, we are not suppose to just hold, because if BTC wants a future, it needs practical value, and can't just be used for trade. The thing is, that I think bitcoin utility will come on a natural way as the coin gets some more development. As soon as the Lightning Network gets implemented, I think the utility of BTC will just grow exponentially. They will be able to compete with paypal, mastercard and visa, in terms of transaction speed, so yes, they can be used for normal grocery buys after that (I heard UBER will accept BTC in a near future).
      We should not simply keep holding bitcoins in our wallets for future purposes, if we want bitcoins to continue the legacy we should use them in trading and buying selling things off and on.

      Bitcoins are having the potential of becoming international currency and that’s good news if Uber if going to accept bitcoins.

      We can only push the actual use of Bitcoin only if we start using Bitcoin in our daily lives ourselves. Just buying and holding of Bitcoin will not serve the purpose. You need to make the best possible use of Bitcoin in day trading so that many other individuals may get benefit from it as well.

      I think it would be through advertisement. Maybe we could advertise Bitcoin and address it to the people through television commercials, radio commercials, billboards, flyers etc. Through this, people will be curious and will research on about it.

      Advertisement will be a big help but if we will look back at the beginnings of bitcoin. There's no advertisement, it's all about internet and it's great future. But at this moment, advertisements will be a very good way to push the usage of bitcoin especially if someone influential will try to say good things about bitcoin and attracts people to use it.
      Since we are in the digital age and bitcoin is a digital currency, might as well make use of the power of digital media. Everybody something goes viral and gets shared a thousand times. An ad about bitcoin, something interesting, could go viral if done creatively. But the question is who would take the lead in coming up with such an ad. Local exchanges are doing their thing with promos here and there but that is a small step towards more recognition of bitcoin.

      Social media's are very powerful in our times, when something gets popular everyone will be on it. Like facebook's popularity, I've seen videos of bitcoin spread on the network and there are so many people that are asking about it. There's no need to take the lead about advertisement as everyone of us can do it alone by sharing our thoughts or sharing videos about btc.
      Social media will be a great way or bridge for bitcoin to connect to the people who are not aware of what is bitcoin because if we are going to observe on what is currently happening in the social media, we can see that it is very easy for the people to share some thoughts and the video or pictures that they like and if we are going to use it for bitcoin then popularity of bitcoin can grow in a huge numbers.

      People spend more time by standing at their social media accounts, following their favorite actors/actresses and their favorite meme pages. And by using those medias for the actual push of bitcoin's usage it's very possible to happen. We can reach those people that are not aware of bitcoin with it and it's no hassle and effortless.
      I am also against pushing anything. When the time will be right, all that is meant to happen will happen. Doing it before time can actually produce negative results! As bitcoin has already made this far so we should show more trust in its strength and have some patience. Let the time handle this.

      Well im against not pushing anything because if we will not start using bitcoin the way it really meant to be and push it's actual use when will we start? Satoshi meant for this coin to be used as micropayments, or a method to pay someone online but I rarely see users who actually use it for that purpose since most use it to gain profit from pumps and dumps. In order to push the actual use we must first slowly start by using bitcoin ourselves for peer to peer trades more and in a weekly or monthly basis.

      I know we are having a slow groth among the merchants around the world about awareneess of Bitcoin but I think, we shold work under a targeted stratagy focusing on the merchants and it will indirectly grab eyeballs of the potential Bitcoin users and will boost the user base down the road.

      In my country, there are currently two major exchanges are both of them are working to build such awarness amount the potential users of Bitcoin. Even though less than 1% of the population have ever heard about Bitcoin but such practices would defineatly help to inculcate Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
      I believe the community has done enough, for once let’s stop trying to convince people to get into Bitcoin and focus on ourselves. Like seriously, you ain’tgonna force people to do what you wish them to. Just focus on your business, and when they see you getting rich and being the coolest person in the neighborhood, they will be forced to join, though it might be late.

      but exchanges do not mean that bitcoin is being use with the right purposes. As you can see, bitcoin right now is being hold as a type of investment and no one seems to care about the potential that it can change the currency system. If you want to push the actual use of bitcoin, bitcoin holders need to use it as a daily currency

      Do it passively, when you're buying whatever you're buying always ask first if they accept bitcoin, and basically everyone should be doing this. That way we'll be informing businesses and letting them know that there are people using bitcoin out there so they'll have that on their mind next time. Also, I've been going around and asking the people in charge, of some companies I use, why haven't they adopted bitcoin and the two most common answers were fees back then and in some cases transactions.

      I think we cannot do much as regular investors and regular people if the miners and big investors rule the price of bitcoin and helping with the volatility, this way bitcoin in my opinion will also never be used in real life, it is supposed to be decentralized but there are too many people manipulating the price
      It's hard when the business really needs to pay debts or loans and employees monthly or in an specific date. Having an stable income qill not be sufficient. Having a volatility can be fine as long as it never dips too much.
      Well I would like to say that the bitcoin is now popular because we made it popular by doing hard work such as posting about bitcoin in this forum and convincing people to invest in bitcoin so I think the positive things happen when we show determination to do it so advertizing bitcoin on social media, spreading knowledge about bitcoin and making the people aware about the benefits of the bitcoin will push the bitcoin towards peak of the increasing price.

      It is hard to push the actual use of bitcoin cause it is too big ang not so popular to the other. Even some of the people know the bitcoin it is hard to use because some store did not already accepted the bitcoin. For me much better to earn a bitcoin and convert it to the local currency which give an extra profit. I think this will happen if the bitcoin become so popular and can compete to the demand currency and first of all need to legalise the bitcoin to accept by the other.

      The actual use of bitcoin can be achieved if people start being aware of it, the usage of computers and internet , some transactions tied to bitcoin use. Transactions/payments/activities being done with or only by bitcoin will steadily push up the use of bitcoin but this might also involve the government sort of. Also, more stores / plazas or businesses transacting with bitcoin too will help the push.

      If we all people support the bitcoin in our social network sites without any type of earning motivation means you can able to find the good breaks in bitcoin and it's value will increase and we may expect the various adoption, supply and demand because of that. Then Government will take bitcoin as legal currency too.

      Plus the fact that bitcoin gives decent profit to anyone who holds or trade it, I doubt bitcoin as money will just be used on market. Most people in the crypto that trades bitcoin and eventually will convert it fiat are mostly wants to do holding bitcoin and just using 3d Maneuverr gear (exchanges) when want to withdraw their bitcoin. Meaning they doing cashout when it really needs no matter the increase .

      It is quite true that people dobot necessary need to do something. Because change is normal to happen to bitcoin, and as aprt of development changed growth and innovation are a part of it. So the only thing we need to consider is to support bitcoib for it to achieve something that could be the possibility to earn.

      I think the most effective way to push for the development of r for the funtion of BTC is for people to make other people be aware of it. Once the general public become consumed with BtC not only will its stock rise but the Government will also take notice and in effect put it further into the spotlight.

      There is not much to do, besides bitcoin is not helping itself with slow transactions and high transaction fees when that is solved people will begin to use bitcoin once again as a currency and then adoption will begin to grow once again, it is a slow process but that is the way things work, cell phones went through a similar process and now look at it there are more cell phones than people.

      Exactly, exchanges are being used as investment controlling platform but still, I don't think that there is an issue in doing so because we are still in the early phase and those having faith in the future and potential of the Bitcoin should get rewarded in one or another way.

      Now coming back to the currency point, I think such efforts are inculcating the Bitcoin as a payment system among the digital fiat currency users so this would help Bitcoin to grow in that direction. Even though we have a long way to go, I am optimistic about it.

      To this thing, i think it's important that we keep using bitcoins in a good way or stay on the positive side and avoid the misuse of bitcoin. Stay keeping all the advantages of bitcoin / keeping the good name of bitcoin and continues to be nice on using bitcoin we have, don't let bitcoin serve as a crime medium and finally bitcoin smeared as a criminal medium. Beside that, sure we should also disseminate all good sides of bitcoin also to peoples who are not knowing yet on bitcoin.

      Pushing people to use bitcoin is easy if we are able to prove a good income earned from bitcoin, I'm sure everyone needs money and people will believe if we are able to prove it.

      In my country we don't to push people to use bitcoins. If you tell that this was legit one, how this going to be earn and how much will be the price people will surely interested about it. The only thing is they do not know what bitcoin is cause in our country only few people who knows it.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

      I think that to push it we really have to take into account that before we can further bitcoin we have to first influence or teach bitcoin to the people around us. Once that they have a grasp of what bitcoin is then rverything will fall i to place and into fruitation

      Yeah you have a good point. People will not use bitcoin if they don't have knowledge from it and they are not believing to the bitcoin. We should prove to them that bitcoin is existing and true.

      I accept bitcoins myself and no other options. If the seller don't offer bitcoin payments, I insist on it. If he don't show any interest, I don't do business with that seller and skip to another one.

      You have to have a bit of H*tler inside you if you want to push bitcoin's usage further.
      Here in my place there are retailers stores who actually make a sign boards that says they accept bitcoins and other altcoins though they of course operate using physical currency but they make crypto also another alternative for payment. And i think in this way those who see the advantage will also take into consideration accepting bitcoin as they start new businesses.

      Sure, bitcoin "should" be used as a currency and be used to pay for things but that's just according to you. Very little in this world gets used for the way they should be. For example, a gun might be made for people to kill animals but that's definitely not the case today. Guns are being used to kill innocent people. Even a nailcutter which only purpose is to cut or file nails, they are being used as a weapon.

      Bitcoin is used as a currency but most of the time it's used as a speculative asset. Nothing is wrong with that. People will do whatever they want with the things that they have and you don't get to control that. You don't get to say "stop" and people will just start following what you said.

      With the things that you suggested, who exactly would talk to these people? That someone should be big enough and known enough in order for him/her to persuade these huge companies. For your third suggestion, uhmm, people won't just start using bitcoins just because you are accepting bitcoins. It's too much effort for someone who has zero knowledge about it.

      Why do you think others will join already just because someone did accept bitcoin? lol they will only start doing the same if they saw your business booms because of it or

      worse they might come up something better basing from it. yes bitcoin can't be taxed but to the best of my knowledge every registered business are subject to pay taxes e.g

      income tax, self-emplyment tax of course taxes depends on how big is your business. if bitcoin users gets to get huge in your country i'm sure your government will come to

      regulate it but i don't think they'll go for drastic measures for starters.

      Convincing people to invest in bitcoin will be much better than convincing them to use it. When they see it increase in price they will have enough temptation to use Bitcoin. That is the easy part. The hard part is getting them to invest initially.

      it is easier to introduce bitcoins to general public as long term investments than a digital currency that can be sued just like fiat. People are definitely instantly going to resist bitcoins for fiat but they won’t hesitate using them as investments. We should tell people about our profits from bitcoins to attract them.

      the market capitlization is too big to push anything.. unless you have several millions and coordinate all of them to buy/sell, it's not possible
      It is hard to push the actual use of bitcoin cause it is too big ang not so popular to the other. Even some of the people know the bitcoin it is hard to use because some store did not already accepted the bitcoin. For me much better to earn a bitcoin and convert it to the local currency which give an extra profit. I think this will happen if the bitcoin become so popular and can compete to the demand currency and first of all need to legalise the bitcoin to accept by the other.

      Actual use of bitcoin can only go up when the usefulness of bitcoin goes up as well, we cannot make any microtransactions anymore because the fees are simply too high for that, so if we want that bitcoin is used more as a currency as it was satoshi vision then the fees need to get lower, the devs gave that step with segwit but we still have a long way to go to see cheap transactions, once that happens people will begin to use bitcoin as a currency once again.

      That is right. Because bitcoin takes time to collect, we must value it and instead of thinking where to use it first, we must do investment of trading in order to gain profit for the growth of money. Pruce of bitcoin is increasing ang wait till the time come that it will double the amount.

      We can together make this ecosystem bigger and bigger, but we can't make the usage of bitcoin wider ourselves. People need to adopt it themselves and try to use it in real life. That's the only way.

      Besides it is not like bitcoin is the only currency being used to speculate when even the most widely used currency around the world the US dollar is used in the very same way in the forex market, then we cannot complain that people use bitcoin mostly to speculate, now it is true that people also use the dollar as a currency but that is something that is going to improve once we got the lightning network working.

      Actually you have just stated enough reasons for people to like and gain the interest of the people. But we do not evenly need to push the usage of bitcoin since bitcoin itself is doing the job to gain its potential users and investors that will come up to a wide usage of bitcoin cryptocurrency not just in one nation but also in the whole world. Actual realization about bitcoin's importance is also one of the factor why people will start to use bitcoin and as the number of bitcoin users will rise, there comes the time that establishments will surely make themselves capable of handling and operating bitcoin usage for the sake of gaining the needs and wants of its consumers.

For me this are the places bitcoin need to reach to grow and reach the legalization worldwide being accepted everywhere.

      Pricing has to be more stable before people will really start using it in their everyday lives. In order for it to become more stable, it needs wider adoption beyond speculators and traders.

      So, it's really about educating people and sharing the real benefits of it as a currency. Right now people first hear about it due to its price movement, and while that's good for general awareness and can get people to make their first purchase, it does nothing to encourage real adoption.

      I think the actual use of bitcoin would only take place to every individual's life would only occur if the value of bitcoin is already stable. Many people are keeping and storing their bitcoin for a long time hoping that as the value of bitcoin increase, their money would do also. Sharing knowledge to other people may also work wherein you are going to explain it to them the benefits of using this currency at our current generation which is the digital age.

      The reasons you have given is enough already to convince someone to push theirselves in the actual use of bitcoin. But for me, this things are not that much important because bitcoin is already gaining its popularity to people nowadays. Bitcoin is already working on its own to convince someone to use it. The currency that is being used by most of the people are way too different with bitcoin but for me bitcoin is way more better.

      The main thing is legalization of bitcoin all over the world, as more countries will begin to legalize bitcoins the more its actual use will begin. Retailers, stores and restaurants etc. only accept payment method which is legalized by their government, so if the bitcoin will become legally acceptable by government then the bitcoin market will extend and we will see more retailers and stores.

      Yes I think one way to push is by making payments on line to be with bitcoin, this will even push faster. Also, evangeling bitcoin always to people. Shops should put sign board too, media stations should talk about it more too.

      Of course this depends on the infrastructure and support of wallet providers, if they work with malls, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and provide ATM bitcoin and so the use of bitcoin will be more massive.
      as far as I can imagine completely everything that Bitcoin can link and the whole range of services for a person, then I can only assume that all online payments can be very well combined with a crypto currency, unlike offline.

      we need to persuaded people to use it. if its become primary needs, bitcoin prices goind to rise up to the top
      We cannot persuade people to use bitcoin, people will have to understand by themselves that bitcoin is their best choice and the only way to do that is for bitcoin to improve, the transaction fee of bitcoin is too high and the confirmation time is too slow if that improves people are going to start using bitcoin because it is going to be the best option for them and at that point wide adoption is going to become a real possibility.

      There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
      Exactly,it could be gradually. We can't push other people if they don't want it, is just a matter of changing a habit from old to new. But not in a simplest way, it will take time in order to change.
      Even though we have a lot of promotions be made but still it depend in our hands and in our own decision. Maybe not now, probably in the future.

      I mentioned this in an earlier post, but merchants aren't the issue. They aren't going to want to accept cryptos while there's so much volatility and all their expenses are in fiat.

      In order to increase the ability for people to actually use cryptos, you either have to have payment processors be able to accept cryptos and convert them so that merchants receive fiat, or the conversion has to happen at the consumer level.

      The latter is probably more likely since people who already own cryptos are willing to take the volatility risk and it can be more of a grassroots effort rather than trying to get an institution on board. Services like 10x or Centra are the solution since they allow you to pay for every day goods using crypto.

      That's the reason why bitcoin cannot be adopted in all countries, there will be some hindrance like china banning ICOs and exchanges, this is a big effect in the market on a negative side but let's also look at the brighter side because some countries are adopting. When majority will support this means it will continue to progress and when big merchants like amazon will finally use bitcoin, it's going to be a big news and it will boost the confidence of the investors and users.

      If the legalization of bitcoin will become true in most of the major countries then the other big companies will eventually trust bitcoin too because they are just waiting for the possible reaction of the major countries and if they will see that the major countries is trusting and accepting bitcoin and the big companies will do it also because it means that there will be a new traffic and it will help their company to become more profitable because of bitcoin.

      Yes they are helping in pushing bitcoin upward in good manners and this will bring business for them as there are also other means to spread awareness about bitcoin through proper channels and by telling people its benefits by sponsoring seminars and multinational exhibitions this can also spread bitcoin till the last corner of world and that will be awesome.

      No one can actually push someone to come and invest in Bitcoin. It is all the choice of that person. I think what all we can do is to tell others especially our friends and family members about this Bitcoin and all the stuff related to Bitcoin. After that, it is all and all their choice to whether invest in Bitcoin or not.

      Don't push it because it will come on time its not only as applicable now but in the next few years it would probably happen. Instead of pushing bitcoin it is much better to push ourselves to.make many bitcoins as much because we don't know if its the last time that we can make more bitcoins.

      Awareness is the key to allow Bitcoin to flourish and have it used diversely. My country is considered a third world country and only a few of us is knowledgeable about Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is to be used by many, then its actual use can be considered. Despite being dependent on money alone, people will learn about Bitcoin which could exemplify its use.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      There are companies who offer bitcoin gift cards. If people start using these on regular basis that itself will help bitcoin in gaining popularity. Share or exchange these tokens with others. This will definitively create momentum to gain the popularity. Apart from the people are more interested in the buying and storing the bitcoin. Initiative like these will help the actual use case of beautiful currency that is a bitcoin.
      Once quick transactions like credit card become reality for bitcoin then there would no stopping for bitcoin.

      Anyway, bitcoin now is very popular and well known in different areas, and it could be widely used by most. In this way, bitcoin will become highly recognized to everyone and it could help to ecourage business owners to accept bitcoin for payment in any services.

      If all people just keep their bitcoins in their wallets and do nothing with it, Bitcoin will have no value it will be just a number. To change this situation i believe that everyone should cerculate their BTC and trade that's how price will increase. Online shops should integrate Bitcoin payment as well. People having bitcoin have no big choice when they try to pay online since few websites accept Bitcoin.

      That is not really important bitcoin is going to be widely accepted at some point in time, I do not care how long that takes it is inevitable and that is why I’m invested in bitcoin, as the world economies begin to struggle they are going to try the old formula of charging more taxes but that is not going to work anymore because people are going to get sick to pay more and receive less and bitcoin will be there to help them.

      We can only use bitcoin if all people have internet which are the common communication for the millennials. But what about older people and countries that don't accept bitcoin? If the government can recognize the positive benefit of using blockchain, I think the government itself will require its people to put it on actual use. Special today, money are being withdrawn thru ATM which are digital. Transactions will be more faster if bitcoin will be use. I think the most business will be affected here are the banks and other businesses which pays taxes to the government thats why they are not promoting it to common people. Hope in the future it will put in use in a positive way.

      You should also include support from our government because I think that is one of the many reasons why we are not having the support or user that we need for bitcoin. Imagine if we got the support of our own government and they talk about bitcoin in news, in their conference and etc, it's my opinion but if I hear these talks in different medias I think I will get interested in it and believe in it even if it is the first time I heard about bitcoin.

      I don't think goverment can support this kind of bitcoin idea of using this on our mode of payment of the country today. The president is not that open minded about it and worst if he knows this kind of trading, or freedom of online income generating website without their control; government might ban bitcoin. One thing I only believe is a certain idea of sharing bitcoin to a friend and letting then learn day by day is helpful to push bitcoin an anonymous knowledge about it. Our country is not yet ready about this, maybe in the near future it will; important is people is educated about it rather than implementing it without proper knowledge.

      If you feel like it is too early to push Bitcoin in your country officially, then your idea is right in your situation. But some countries are ready to accept Bitcoin on the highest level, on the government level I mean, and we can see it already happens in South Korea, Switzerland, Japan, and several other countries are going to do the same.
      You can draw in your neighborhood business holders to the advantages of utilizing bitcoin and influence them to acknowledge bitcoin installments. This is the most ideal approach to advance bitcoins. Other than that bitcoin is as of now being utilized on a large number of online stages for which it was created and the quantity of individuals who are utilizing it is developing in measure each day.

      we dont need to push the usage of bitcoin,remember even banks hold physical money for depositors and store there even if how long the depositors needed to cash out,thats same principle in bitcoin is adapted.those who hold bitcoins waited for their coin to have interest for them to profit.so dont bother about it.circulation will continue even without the whole volume of bitcoin

      Forcing things is not a good idea to start with theres no need to convince others to participate just introducing it to them is good enough bitcoin will manage somehow to have a good value through the year go by and eventually bitcoin will be acknowledged by many interested investors and companies .

      The problem that I see to this idea is that people find it hard to accept change. We need to convince those people who are skeptical about the whole idea of bitcoin, and make them realize that it is for innovation. After we have convinced the people, it would be easy to push the actual use of bitcoin.

      U really dont need to push it as its not some long lost tradition or some old cultural which is waiting for a revival.
      All that bitcoin ecosystem requires right now is ample amount of exposure and publicity.

      Well for the publicity part, its quite famous already, but majorly for its rising prices and how one can earn short term profit through it, and not because of how secure it is and how wonderful of a currency it can prove to be. So here its getting famous only for its growing value and not for its asthetics, which actually can bring more trust on it. This needs to be done thorugh publicity and proper awareness.

      And definetely as you added, big giants like amazon and stuff like that, if they start accepting btc, everyone would be encouraged to do so. But for this a certain level of stability is needed. Hope we soon see that coming.

      Bitcoin is getting into the mainstream of investment, rather to use as a currency. If you see the use of Bitcoin at Bitcoin futures or at other places, it will widely use for trading nothing much than that. So, coming with the question of the actual use of bitcoin is getting hidden in the running race to gain more from bitcoin. The basic purpose which Satoshi proposed was an easy way to transfer money is getting into easy way to increase your money. And it is not easy to push actual use of bitcoin until we see some stability and openness towards bitcoin as a method of payment.

      I'm own opinion we don't need to push the bitcoin as a actual use. Let them do it and don't include yourself about that. The matter there is you are earning money from bitcoin. We don't need to convince the others to believe in bitcoin. There are many people out there thinks that bitcoin is a scam so don't waste your time to them.

      At the present time, when Bitcoin is primarily used by people as a kind of asset, they hold it and wait until exchange rates rise to sell to make a profit. The purpose of using such crypto is quite wrong compared to the original purpose of cryptocurrency. I think the next 20 years if cryptocurrency becomes popular worldwide, people will use crypto to trade on the Internet, and then the crypto rate will stabilize, not increase abnormally.

      Those people thinking that bitcoin is a scam could not be controlled, because in the first place their mind was deceived with negative rumors about bitcoin. The good idea to do about it is we should prove them by means of letting them be updated with the current progress of bitcoin, and provide them the ways on how to earn bitcoin without fears of being scammed. Many ways of earning bitcoin and pushing our friends to be with bitcoin and signature bounty campaign is one of the good way to introduce to everyone, along with trading with bitcoin investment with an idea of long term goals.

      Sooner or later crypto will be recognized. It is an entirely different currency. The problem with bitcoin as well it is being unstable with the price.

      Bitcoin is indeed the mainstream of cryptoworld and with that, the blockchain is already well represented so as the rest of the cryptocurrencies too. The only thing is that bitcoin is more used as investment than that of what really Satoshi Nakamoto wanted it to be as means of payment for goods and services.

      Yep, bitcoin now is really popular and even it’s getting more viral. Nowadays, bitcoin is quite common in my country also around the world. I think that many people know about bitcoin and what they hear about bitcoin brings benefits to someone  make them start taking part  in this crypto market. A lot of places on the internet advertise for bitcoin value and this also makes bitcoin users increasing. I hope someday bitcoin is accept as an extra currency which helps bitcoin users have chance to use bitcoin all over the world.

      Bitcoin is globally popular now, some are still ignoring it, others knew about it, but still dont have the interest to get involved, no need to push the actual use of bitcoin, just wait for others to have willingness to be part of it.

      I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

      My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

      I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

      After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

      • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
      • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
      • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.
      in fact we do not need to boost the other bitcoiners, which we only do how to do good for ourselves, if we are good and right we just encourage other friends to do the things we do.

      I think we need time to fully accept the bitcoin as payment in every countries. We need to spread the bitcoin knowledge to the people to convince them to used also bitcoin in their transactions. But before to spread it to other we need to discover more about bitcoin before we can teach someone about it, because this is will be our key to convince them to use it.
      if you convince humanity to use bitcoins, then you need to raise its popularity. But along with this, a very important aspect of this issue is raising the levels of public exposure to the crypto currency. If a person does not have enough knowledge, the way to using bitcoin is closed to him.

      indeed its a matter of trust, and trust comes from marketing as well as evidence. After that people will judge for themselves advantage of using bitcoin. and in fact to quickly realized there, should be support from the government

      As of now, even we will not promote the bitcoin, many people are getting touch in crypto world. Technology helps us to spread the news of cryptocurrency in the world. And it is true, if someone knows that bitcoin is legit and profitable, they will try it and share to other people specially with their family and love ones.
      The curiosity of the people leads to a dominance of bitcoin and it is a fact that the more people are using it as a currency, storage of asset and medium of exchange, bitcoin price will also surge and cryptocurrency will be the focused of the economy.

      Those individuals suspecting that bitcoin is a trick couldn't be controlled, on the grounds that in any case their psyche was deluded with negative gossipy tidbits about bitcoin. The smart thought to do about it is we ought to demonstrate them by methods for giving them a chance to be refreshed with the present advance of bitcoin, and give them the courses on the best way to win bitcoin without fears of being defrauded. Numerous methods for procuring bitcoin and pushing our companions to be with bitcoin and signature abundance crusade is one of the great method to acquaint with everybody, alongside exchanging with bitcoin venture with a thought of long haul objectives.

      I don't think so because there will be a panic people to see the price was down and they cannot hold like us and decide to sell their bitcoin to not get more lose. but if most people can hold and stop being a weak hands, then maybe the price could be stay at one level price and the chances for increase is wide open. and this will be good if there are more investor come to bitcoin and they buy bitcoin with a big amount so it will help bitcoin to increase.

      Personally, if we want to push the actual use of bitcoin then we should raise more its popularity in order to give people idea and interest of what bitcoin is and how it is use. However, its not an easy task to do for we all know that there are some people who had negative thoughts about bitcoin and some are don't believe on it. Its inevitable thing and addition to it people should also be aware of what cryptocurrencies are. There's a lot of way to push bitcoin but its a matter of when and where.

      We need to encourage the people by sharing them a knowledge about the system . Its difficult to push the actual use of bitcoin by the people because they think about negative side . We should keep on hardwork and willingness of the forum and gather those people.

      Yeah, you mention the biggest hurdle in the way of Bitcoin as payment method. No one gonna waste $2.5 for every transaction. If this problem could be solved, believe me many-many merchants will start using BTC payments without any marketing or convincing.
      Till last year Bitcoin was major source of payment on survey, online working, affiliate sites but now hardly any site pays in Bitcoin without deducting huge fees.

      That's why we need to let it gradually grow without artificially speeding it up through advertisements, after the scaling is solved hopefully very soon I believe we can put this discussion in the right perspective because there are many ways we could get people to actually spend their bitcoins on a daily basis and likewise merchants if we could get transactions confirmed early and at a reasonable rate.

      Correct, we let it spread without hesitation. Let the moment circulates for good of all. Bitcoin is just an extraordinary thing because it can change a lifestyle of everyone living in the community. Bitcoin is no need to push because people are eager to know and wants to experience many things it may be cause of curiosity that
       pushes them but it is for good.

      i think we cant do anything atm as regular traders or users. it is slow and we need lightening network as soon as possible. if it can be faster with near zero fee and good network size, actual usage of bitcoin is going to increase organically so fast.
