Do we need ebay like site to promote bitcoin

[dfox101]

Of course with ebay, amazon etc sites accept bitcoin will be a big boost for bitcoin, only not on the circulation side but also create awareness of the bitcoin that more and more people will get interested and participate in the bitcoin.

we need all the helped we can get to promote bitcoin, ebay or other big company will be a great place yo advertise and promote bitcoin because the reputation for the site already good and there are a lot of traffic coming to the site, so it will be a great option to add more new user to bitcoin world

That's right everything that has something to do for the promotion of bitcoin is really needed and that can boost the demand of bitcoin by informing their potential customers. Just take a look at steam's acceptance of bitcoin, I'm pretty sure that helped a lot for the economy of bitcoin by informing their players that they are already accepting bitcoin.

My opinion by looking on steam which is accepting bitcoin the steam users themselves often don't give a shit and the news are spreading a lot but only among bitcoin users. Most of the people still use their payment option as before and seem that not going to own bitcoin or even learning about bitcoin furthermore. People are always seeking for the easiest way and as long they could go through into it, they will stay
I think that the acceptance of bitcoin in many stores will help the bitcoin users but not so effective for attracting people to learn bitcoin nor for advertisement

If many online shops will adopt bitcoin and add it on their payment options then it will attract more incoming bitcoin users because if they add bitcoin and explain all their good advantages in a simple way then it would be easy for their customers to understand and adopt bitcoin as soon as possible. We can do social media promotion because most of the people are on social media sites.

If many online stores will accept bitcoin then it will be the start. If that happens in a large scale then offline transactions in the mall will also happen. This will help spread bitcoin in the world of commerce and many businessman will be attracted to bitcoins and those traditional businessmen will have no choice but to adopt bitcoins. With that the future of bitcoin is great and the price will be jumping to the moon.

Ebay has played a great role in the success of PayPal in becoming leading payment processor.Do we need a similar ebay like site to popularize Bitcoin and make it leader in money transfer?

The issue about this is regardless of whether or not there are people who would use the site, it's how many people will join Bitcoin because of it. Bitcoin needs something new and unique, that everyone wants to use, in order for it to gain popularity. Anything that is already done by fiat isn't something Bitcoin can use to compete with effectively.

People will use a service as long as it is better and more practical, so if we have something that has already been done but we can do it better then it could work, look at casinos, casinos are very successful despite the fact there are thousands of casinos already and that is because they offer something unique thanks to bitcoin.

Fortunately we have that kind of site and its name is overstock.com. It is similar to ebay and is accepting Bitcoin as payment. From shoes to gadgets they have it. The problem is overstock is still not know as ebay but I know overstock is popular to Bitcoin users. But for me I can't say they will promote Bitcoin because they also have several payment options not only Bitcoin.

We actually need as many sites as possible to help promote bitcoin. If bitcoin is properly advertised and people get to know how it can help them, I am sure there will be mass adoption faster than we can expect it.

just one really good site can be more than enough to get bitcoin started. imagine something like ebay early days starts working and then after a while becomes as big as the real ebay, eventually more people start using bitcoin and because of that more sites and services also start working offering more services for bitcoin and more people join in,...

I cannot believe that many people in this forum still believe that Bitcoin will become a mainstream currency. It is not, wake up people. The best move for Bitcoin is to stay as the main currency in the dark markets. Just sit back and relax as the dark markets grow. Nothing can stop it now.

[Mometaskers]

Having sites like these using btc would be nice but IMHO it would be better if mainstream sites like Amazon and eBay start accepting it as payment.

Still not sure whether btc going mainstream would be good or bad though. Might lead to more governmeny surveillance.

Obviously bitcoin gonna be mainstream currency and it will be good for bitcoin both in respect to its price and usability. Government surveillance can't be enough to track down or stop bitcoin transactions but this may limit the amount of bitcoin than can be exchanged in local bitcoin ATMs and local trading platform.

i don't know why people keep saying government surveillance, and things like tracking bitcoin and anonymity  as if they want to do something shady with bitcoin! when bitcoin becomes mainstream and starts being used in places like ebay or ebay like website there is nothing to surveil just like any other currency we would be using bitcoin too and pay taxes that come with it.

agree with you, this may take many sites not only ebay. but with hundreds of sites, and other media such as blogs and so it would be helpful bitcoin for getting famous. because the famous bitcoin then the price will soar

We need to understand that Paypal is mere a company, they didn’t invented anything new, while comparing it with bitcoin. Yes, I believe that it will be a good promotion if any major player starts accepting bitcoin and it will attract more users towards bitcoin but that is not the only way for the growth. We have experienced the potential of bitcoin in last 8 years and we can always connect the dots looking backward so I see a growth in future with or without support of giant players.

[justdimin]

I see a growth in future with or without support of giant players.

The thing here must be, creating those giant players ourselves. Instead of looking for giants to adopt bitcoin why not be ourselves innovate those market giants.

I agree without the support of big players also bitcoin will reach new peaks, but with support we can scale very quickly. I believe everyone will prefer and need that.

No,i don`t think so.

We just need more online merchants to accept bitcoin as a payment method in their own online stores.

If some big online giant like eBay accepts bitcoin,btc will lose it`s independence even more.

I think everyone is free to dream, after all no one knows where bitcoin will be sailing in the future, although it would be impossible to be adopted by the government, but it is not impossible if bitcoin could have a very large user, and it can be accelerated by promotion

[bajing]

Ebay is one online store very large one could be say bitcoin need ebay to be able to make bitcoin prices can persist because bitcoin easy use then can make the people will be interested in using bitcoin.

[Przemax]

We should make that kind of situation that they will have to promote bitcoin. Otherwise they will lose customers. Such companies dont have  anything to do with bitcoin because they dont have to. Lets made them have to do with bitcoin, by stealing away their  customers.

[BrewMaster]

actually an ebay like site is the only thing that we need for promoting bitcoin and seeing the real adoption take place.
we all keep talking about it but unless a big application like this is made i don't see people using bitcoin other than an investment. and using it as an investment can only raise the price to small levels but when people all around the world use a platform to trade and spend bitcoin (like an ebay like site) we will see the real rise to 10K USD
