Right now? No. In the future? Maybe. Us being early adopter depends on how long will Bitcoin be alive, if it dies next year or soon (I'm sure it wont), we are pretty much newbies. If it stays alive for 20 years or more from now, we would pretty much be veterans. For now, users who joined a year or two ago are pretty much new to Bitcoin.

Well, some people would probably accept Bitcoin because they would take advantage of thw volatility and make a large profit of every purchase that customers make. The only other reason I could think of would be because they just want to support Bitcoin. Beside these 2 reasons, accepting Bitcoin wouldn't help merchants much because it would be pretty much the same to them if you want to pay in cash or Bitcoin.

I know that I can buy from third party sited, I personaly use HRK game or instant gaming, they're pretty cheap and accept Bitcoin. But I like Steams Summer and Winter sales, they give games even cheaper than other sites.

Yes, they have accepted Bitcoin for quite a long time. But when Bitcoin started being unstable and very volatile with high fees and long confirmation times they stopped accepting it, that was around a year ago.

Bitcoin mining is still highly profitable and it will always be. If it wasn't profitable nobody would be still mining it. It is costly though, you need the newest miners and electricity fees are high but you got to spend money to make money.
Of course, mining other coins is easier is less costly but less profitable. You can't just expect you can make high profits with some old CPU miners, those days are long gone.

I don't think sending e-mails to every company you know suggesting to adopt Bitcoin could help in any way unless you have any influence or an investor. That method would work only if you have any function at a company and then you could suggest Bitcoin as a payment method. That's how stuff works, it's either like that or they will adopt it when they see some other made a good profit with Bitcoins.

When Steam announced that they are not accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment, they said that it is temporary untill Bitcoin gets stable. Bitcoins price has been pretty stable for a longer period, so why not start accepting again? Did they announce anything?

It's pretty stupid of them because now I am forced to buy from third party sited and Steam doesn't support that but they don't want to support Bitcoin either.

I don't know how can you make that happen but I know one thing- you shouldn't try that. The reasons are those which you quoted but there are more. You can lose money by using Bitcoin everyday, even if you aren't selling it, the price could go lower and you will be paying more Bitcoin for the same stuff. Try that only if yoi have shops which accept Bitcoin nearby and if you have a good budget.

By those descriptions, everything is an investment. You can buy anything and wait for it to be more valuable and sell it in the future. If some people invest in something it doesn't mean it is an investment if it wasn't intended to be one. Bitcoin was not intended to be an investment, it is projected as a currency and it is one. I do agree it can be considered as an investment because most of people use it as one, but it doesn't mean it isn't a currency.

Well, smartphones generaly catch less viruses and malware than laptops and desktop computers. I store my own Bitcoin in my smartphone and I don't have any problems with it. The only problem could occur if you root your device and give root permission to apps downloaded from some shady sites. That's why I didn't root my phone and even if I do I will check the sites I download from.

I have learned everything I know about Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies here. There are a lot of members, everyone can give some piece of information or advice and you can learn very much here. Aside from learning, you can buy, sell goods, trade cryptocurrencies or even earn Bitcoin. It is very helpful for starting off your cryptocurrency career.

Newbies on this forum are either spamming or spreading false information when they see something on some site. Fortunately, little to no-one listens to them when they try to spread false information. The biggest problem here newbies who are spamming every thread to rank up and bump every old thread. The forum is being clogged.

That would be good news if they made good cars =) Jokes aside, that is good news if it is true, maybe more automobile companies will follow BMW and accept Bitcoin as payment method. It could be a big step forward for Bitcoin, it could open more possibilities. The price will probably jump if they jump on the bandwagon.

What are you even talking about? Bitcoin had a very steady price around 6500$ and now it rose to 7500$ and it doesn't think on stopping here! The death of Bitcoin isn't near in any aspect, you are just spreading false information and annoying everyone. If you don't like Bitcoin just leave, we will enjoy our profit when it pumps to the sky.

Since the price got above 400$ a while ago, people saw that it is better to invest than use Bitcoin as a currency and now there are more and more people who want money and they think it is easy. It is sad that Bitcoin is going from currency to asset but we can't help it. The price will always be volatile and there will always be investors.

Look at all the cryptocurrencies, none of them are used as a currency nowadays. In early days, people mined Bitcoin and used them as a currency, but as soon as they saw that it has volatile price they saw it as an investment. That mind set isn't going to change, as long as people can make profit off of Bitcoin, it will be used as an asset.

I doubt that one mall accepting Bitcoin made that much of a difference, every month there are shops and malls in some countries that accept Bitcoin so the price doesn't move much. But yes, awareness is an influence but we don't benefit awareness if no one wants to invest or at least use Bitcoin.

I think that Bitcoin is a really safe currency, much safer than fiat. It can't be stolen as easy as fiat can, hackers still have a hard time trying to hack into wallets, the main method is phishing and scamming, but that would be your fault if you don't take precautions. There are safety measures and if you use them, you wont have any problem with losing your Bitcoins.

Those are fake news, China is nit closing anything, why would they? And jf they wanted to, they couldn't really forbid mining for everyone, some people would still mine. If that ever happened it would surely leave a negative effect on the market, the price would probably drop, fortunately it isn't going to happen.

First of all, are you sure that you even know what merit is? Merit is not a coin or anything similar, those are points needed to rank up and you get them if someone send you some for a good quality post. It is forbidden to sell it so you wont get any if you don't post some quality answers or threads.

Bitcoin actually does not require approval of any country. The 'approval' means that Bitcoin is legal in that country so that people know that they can freely use it. Those approvals exist because some countries make Bitcoin illegal so countries that have nothing against it announce that they approve Bitcoin as a currency.
