I would have to say bitcoin for customers is safer. It also puts us the consumers in charge of our own banks. As bitcoin expands we will see a transition from people using fiat to bitcoin. I rarely carry cash now as long as I have debit card or phone I can pay for things. Using bitcoin is no different.

-The fees is not a must part of BTC, you can make a transaction with no fees but would take ages to confirm, The most useful advantage would be the convenience in term of privacy IMO (Things you wouldn't want in your CC record) and in industries with some different opinions about it (Gambling etc...).

With bitcoin, you have the freedom to pay certain parties. With credit card or bank transfer, you cannot do that.

please name the certain parties you can pay with Bitcoin but you cannot pay with your card.

There are many sites where people want to shop but do not want to show his/her identity, so at there he/she will be free to pay with bitcoin. Like payment for a cam girls site or other  date sites. Ther are also some porn sites arising to accept payment with bitcoin etc...

the transaction is definitely more 'safe for the seller rather than the customer. In fact, if the customer were to have a problem with the purchased product / service he can not 'do chargeback (for a good cause). I think that this poses to be a limit for customers to use bitcoin

Much safer than creditcards, easy to settup, easy to use, harder to steal, stores will like it because transactions are irreversible

How safer? If a creditcard is compromised, you might get a refund. I believe people think creditcards are easier to use.
 I know stores will like it, but what about the benefits for the consumer?

Might be harder to steal yes, but depends.

Safer on the aspect of privacy, You won't get personally linked with what you buy, it might not be illegal too.

Also harder to steal if you know what you are doing..

Yeah the best feature and which I like the most is, it is unable to steal. I think the local thieves have not heard about it yet. The most of thieves are uneducated  . So The customers like to buy with it because it is a safe way to shop.

Not so in my opinion. If the transaction with any bitcoin that information security must be known to both parties that the buyer and seller. However, for transactions with bitcoin might be safer because like passwords or secure information on bitcoin awake so will avoid taking money illegally or theft.

[Pursuer]

independence, customer handles all the money and transactions and doesn't need any bank for that matter.
anonymity, which might not be important to most customers but it is there and unlike credit cards you don't give any extra information to the merchant when buying from them.
also I think it is the best option for online shopping since it can be done in the safest manner.

I came to figure out, why would a consumer/customer use Bitcoins?
You have to pay the 3 cent fee, while you dont have to pay anything when paying with a credit card.

So what is really a benefit for using Bitcoins, customer wise?

Because using bitcoin it's more easier to use and simple than using others. and the fee is small though. so i think bitcoin is more more better than others.

Great! Safe, anonymous, efficient in transaction. All these three brings a peace of mind in life. People require these features to dealt with the current risky and unsecure environment. As in 21th century there are a large number of crimes appearing in the world he roots of which are grred for money, and everyone wants safety from those devils.

It's not that safe as it is presented,you can lose everything through a single malware and of course its not fully anonymous but pseudo anon.If people get to know that you are holding coins in your house then they can literally go to any levels to hack them,nothing different from cash until hidden.

I would have to say bitcoin for customers is safer. It also puts us the consumers in charge of our own banks. As bitcoin expands we will see a transition from people using fiat to bitcoin. I rarely carry cash now as long as I have debit card or phone I can pay for things. Using bitcoin is no different.

And now a number of only shopping sites are appeared, due to the busy life people like to shop and order online and paying online for it is much easier. People wants every online shop to use bitcoin. Every shop has to use bitcoin as payment as now it is the currency for online use.

[DeDordtenaar]

for the future, may be a necessity. there is no definite reason, because everyone wear it

The problem is that there are very easy and familiar alternatives for bitcoin, such as a credit card.

The challenge is to get people over the first hurdle, loading a wallet with bitcoin, before they are prepared to spend bitcoin online. Nobody wants to buy bitcoin, wait on confirmations, to then pay. Therefore, it is essential that people have coins in their wallets at all times. And that is not the case yet.

because bitcoin is easy to use and we can conduct transactions anytime, anywhere.

This is probably the main reason that stores should consider accepting Bitcoin. It is much safer.

I think to keep track. many smart people who can keep track of your bitcoin address, so if you are not smart, bitcoin is not the right thing to commit a crime such as money laundering

Credit cards aren't exactly free. Where I'm from, you have an additional 10% charge if you use a credit card for your taxi ride. There are many reasons that you will want to use Bitcoins.

1. Transfer money across the world with a much lower transaction fee.
2. Carry your money everywhere (in most airports, you have to declare when you carry $10,000 USD and above). Bitcoins can bypass that.
3. Privacy protected purchases. (Which can be used for different means)

dont compare bitcoin with credit card,its tottaly different. i think if people use bitcoin,they also have credit card,and i just said that customer must pick bitcoin because its really easy to use,and simple registraton to open an account.

Yes credit card also considerable additional costs and if not used properly would be detrimental. I think probably better to transact using bitcoin because it has many conveniences. And we can get the money in bitcoin while in the credit card we can not get the money.

Customers would use bitcoin because easy to use and you can send money to your friend in other country only less than 1-2 hour.
