Why would customers use Bitcoins?

[stromma44]

Customers are using bitcoins because they are making good and quick profits from it which is not possible to earn from any other product and that is the reason people are attracted towards bitcoin.

I agree this is one advantage bitcoin can offer aside from fast transaction, security and other stuff.   Just imagin holding a currency where you  can earn more profit  just by holding it.  And then spending or sending it to your relatives without the risk of having third party error.

Yeah you can send money across the globe with least fees and even the credits are instant when you send it with bitcoin and its surely better in compare to banks and WU.

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.

All funds that are stored on the Internet, are at risk. Owners can easily lose all your money.

That is right. So I save most of my bitcoin in my own wallet. After I buy the bitcoin, I will withdraw to my own wallet.

Actually we also can minimize the risk by not open suspicious link and donwload something suspicious. It's secure if you know how to protect your bitcoins.

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?

If I were a customer I'd use bitcoin because: I'd be always paying the exact amount and would drag change with me, it would be a lot safer than a credit card or carrying money in your pocket or a wallet, I can send that money to my brother in seconds in another town if he's in need and would be an immediate transaction and I wouldn't have to pay the fee of 3$ monthly for the credit card.... I may have forgotten something but these would be my reasons to use it.

Until making a btc transaction becomes as fast and easy as swiping a debit/credit card at a point of sale, there is absolutely no motivation for customers to switch currencies. The infrastructure is already there; why reinvent the wheel? I agree btc is the more efficient choice, but unfortunately, it has a lot of usability issues to sort before it's ready for the prime time.

That's it, it's almost like a vicious cycle. Customers won't take up bitcoins until the infrastructure is there in shops etcetera and it becomes convenient, but businesses won't start accepting them until more people are willing to spend them.

I just hope you're right because I may be seeing a wall soon. The price is already going back up from it's fluctuations when finex went down so it is kinda a good thing to buy right now and hope not another exchanger goes down to trouble bitcoin prices any time sooner until bitcoin reach a dream higher levels like $1200 prices.

Here is why I use Bitcoin:

1. I do not have Credit Card or whatever payment method other than fiat.

2. Online anonymous purchase with Bitcoin is so easy - well, I don't buy illegal things though.

And in the future, when I get to find shops that accept Bitcoin ...

3. "Hey, look, I am a tech-savvy person."

[danherbias07]

I would rather be different and use bitcoin, than be fooled by those banks to use credit card so that they can rob you. That can be seen in plain sight.

[Betwrong]

Of course I aware that there are different situations with different banks but some of them charge you for using their card as a method of payment and if you are using Bitcoin you only pay a transaction fee which is small and unsignificant. I think that's one of of the main reasons why would customers use Bitcoins.

I agree. I am using it and base on my calculations I see that I did save a lot of money than paying my annual payment with credit cards.

In my country there are no annual fees for credit cards, banks are giving it for free, you need to pay extra charge only if you miss the payment date and as its free people are much more active in using it.

[johnnyyash]

I believe btc is one easy way to use for..customers, it quicker and convinient... Believe no much fees or charges applied....though it very easy for me shopping and quicker

Bitcoin is accessible to all as long as he knows how to use computer and its applications while credit card is not accessible to all because for someone to own credit card, he should have the supporting documents and usually the ones who have it are the ones who have a regular income like salary or has a business. In bitcoin, even a student can access it who has no regular income yet. So he is earning also from it by accumulating bitcoin and then maybe engage in trading while credit card has limits in its usage.
