There is only a mention of the EU and the U.S on your about page. Are there any plans to support the MENA region? Btw, I'm trying to access the LastBit lite page on the play store, and it's leading to a dead link.

Thats a dream for money launders Do you know that governments planning to liquidate cash at all in future because of illegal activities with cash (drugs selling etc.)? So cash will become a past in near 5 years in Europe and United States. And you are proposing cash to btc exchanging at stores?

now it's possible to prove ownership, store data in an immutable form, and even vote without the possibility of fraud or corruption. With the advent of smart contracts, Blockchain Bitcoin has become more powerful than ever.

Should be Bangladesh and maybe India
Rumors has it, some of their politics want to introduce jail time for crypto. It's much worse than ban 

I am still looking for interesting projects or businesses around cryptocurrency that do not have any tokens.

The masses want to save and preserve their buying power. That's the most likely job Bitcoin ends up with in its present form if it becomes big enough and relatively stable enough. Hundreds of millions have exposure to stock markets. You can't use stocks for payments either.

It's not easy considering Gresham's law. As long as weaker currencies like fiat money ("bad money") are widely accepted, people will opt to hoard away "good money" like bitcoins.

If/when Bitcoin achieves a sustainable economy where there is no need for fiat inflows and outflows -- meaning supply chains and payrolls are covered in bitcoins -- this can change. If people are getting paid in bitcoins, they will feel more comfortable spending them. As it stands, spending bitcoins and rebuying them later could entail lost bitcoins because of conversion/exchange fees and rising price. For most people, it makes more sense just to hoard their coins and spend fiat money on consumer goods instead.

nice thought, but it'll still hurt lol. i try not to think too much about all the stupid stuff i spent my bitcoins on back in 2014-15. if i'd only known i was spending my coins at the bottom! that's why i never spend coins deep into a downtrend anymore.

it's still a painful subject.

Even if they say they will, I believe most of the HODLERS will never "waste" their Bitcoins to buy coffee, with, or without Lightning because of the opportunity costs. Bitcoin's strength as a store of value, is also its weakness for adoption.

They might do it once. But don't hope that they will regularly use Bitcoin instead of cash or credit cards.

It depends on the timing - spending during the bear market hurts, because soon afterwards you'll start regretting it, thinking "those coins are worth 4-5 times more now". Spending in the bull run can also hurt, when in one week the price is already 20% up. I currently want to buy a few things, but I wait for Bitcoin to go back to at least $14k.

I spend a fair bit of BTC. I tend to use it to buy items that'll improve my life. That way I won't be sad if the price ever reaches squillions of dollars as I got plenty of good use from whatever I bought.

Unless I had no alternative, and I do, I wouldn't spend it on consumables like food, coffee, fuel. That stuff eventually comes out of my arse, urethra or exhaust pipe never to be seen again, though it was certainly useful at the time.

The key to spending is earning in BTC. And those who bought for a lot less have earned more buying power in a sense too. If you've got it coming in then you'll be more inclined to spend it. If you've laid out your dollars in the hope of doing well, and are yet to, and underwent all that hassle to obtain it then you'll be far less willing to spend. You'll want to hoard.

A lot of attitudes and circumstances will need to change for it to see regular use as a currency. We're nowhere near it now. We may never be.
