Is Bitcoin ever be Mainstream?

[uyalun85]

There are still a lot of problems and obstacles to conquer before bitcoin can go mainstream I feel. Transaction fees and the waiting time is getting worse by the day I feel.

A lot of people treat Bitcoin as their asset more than a means of spending. Which is why many would keep their Bitcoins rather than start spending them.

Will we ever use Bitcoin for day by day use? Buy a bread, a phone, a car, an appartment? Or Bitcoin will more likely be a way of just storing value and we have to rely on altcoins to use them daily?

Yes it will hit mainstream as soon as this LN gets added on. Shouldn't be much more time now but probably because big update takes 6 month or something still.

Storing value mostly as it can be easily conveted into fiat which has a much higher acceptance rate. Since btc can be converted for a nominal fees it seems to be the best of both worlds. If supply was more it would definitely be a powerful currency.

Bitcoin is mainstream right now it shows that the blockchain network is very fast than the generation of mobile network mainstream. Bitcoin will multiply its value for the next few months . this is a good start for everyone buy the dip while the whales are accumulating.

For purchasing some items, it might be used for payment. But, for little things such as buying bread or something, it is still far off to happen.

why not? we dont know about our future. the appearance of bitcoin has transformed all financial institutions in every country including private banks and central banks. do not be surprised if bitcoin will be used for small transactions such as buying milk to buy bread.

Maybe bitcoin has already crossed that line.
Every media I open online has already articles about bitcoin or crypto currencies.
And the good old tv news mention it more and more often as well.
I beliebve that a big part of the people in older generations, they have a negative attitude towads crypto currencies, no matter what.
But from the younger generations many of them are informed about bitcoin, some already have bitcoins.
In my opinion the step towards mainstream has alredy happened as good as it's possible.
