Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful?

[Hilsgort_T]

At the moment, I almost don't use cryptocurrency, because there are no conditions for this. Stores do not accept cryptocurrency. At my work, I also get paid with fiat money, not cryptocurrency. So I think it's too early for this. But I think a lot will change in the next 5 years. At least I hope so.

Of course I used cryptocurrency in my daily life it's been 4years since I start to use it. And I should say that cryptocurrency is useful especially that our generation in more high-tech and some is using digital technology to make  our daily life easy. This time cryptocurrency is useful because some are adopting the crypto to their platforms to make easy to their user/customers.

So cool ! But how can you everyday use it? I'm just asking because based on you statement it seems that your place has so many opportunities for using crypto. While in my case, I only use bitcoin weekly for buying prepaid load to my smartphone but if I really had given a chance to see a physical store where I can find everything I wanted then I think I'll miss fiat for a long time hahaha .

Man, I will really wouldn't recommend using bitcoin into stores hahaha LOL, the fee will kill you!!!! And sometimes if the transaction is getting traffic the fee will be more than the cost of what are you buying. And it takes 30mins-1hr to get 2 confirmation so you are going to wait for 1hr at the store to buy sometihng? haha. I can recommend it in online shopping and that's it. Bitcoin as currency or mode of payment in real world is not really a good thing, It's okay now that it's a tool for investment. Like it or hate it, the transaction speed in real world really matter.

Only true fans will use crypto for payments right now. Or people who leave in countries with wide spread of adoption. Crypto card fees are too high  for everyday life usually

If bitcoin has physical form then the speed of real usage will be equivalent to fiat, right? Maybe that's the problem. But when we talk about digital payments, it seems there is nothing wrong with implementing bitcoin there, but indeed, the fee is likely to be greater but I think it can be overcome when the platform adopts it by making promotions or anything that will not charge customers just because of a fee , because of this digital era even fiat payments can be made with a digital system that makes transactions not always using cash.

you mean the platform will shoulder the fee via promotions   . that is okay if they want to promote bitcoin not just by only accepting it as a payment source . i also like the idea of having a fiat based crypto so that the fee and and the loading times can be cut off  .  that is the only way that people will use crypto in their daily living   . for now due to fees and waiting times  , people were now picking a day if the network is not congested and that is the time they will make a trasnsaction  .

I used to pay with crypto to buy expensive stuff and it was interesting. Although the experience was not so different from fiat money, I was happy when people started to know bitcoin and wanted to hold it. The thing is, do I want to buy some household items? After I went to the store, the owner said he could receive bitcoins or ETH at checkout. I was happy about that and suddenly realized that if there were so many people, the demand of crypto would increase a lot.

I would love for that to happen to me but most people in my country do not even know that bitcoin exist and the few that do think it is a scam or something because they do not take the time to investigate for themselves about this coin and they let the media to tell them what to think, and as long as that is the case I really believe I am not going to see a lot of adoption in my country and I will have to keep holding my coins even if I want to spend some of them in stuff that I want and need.

This is really sad to see in this modern era people do not know about crypto when it has become basic need for us. In my place people are well educated and they all know how useful and beneficial crypto is. So I can easily buy and sell with crypto whatever I need and I want to get in can buy because markets accept bitcoin as payment and they have safe exchanges for it with quick service.

that's because you're in the environment of bitcoiner. We know that bitcoin users in the world are very minimal, so that it allows many people around us not to know them. moreover there is no regulation from the government, which hinders its development, in my city, there are only a few bitcoiner that can be counted on the fingers

In my place it's not like this because it's well developed nation and people accepts the new technologies made for their betterment. Crypto and bitcoin has no regulation in my country as well but still people use it for buying and selling goods and also it's being use as an asset. People are holding and making investment also they are using at time of need.
