Daily use of bitcoin?

[stripykitteh]

You should not expect to use bitcoin for every single thing, I think of bitcoin as your savings account, you take it everywhere you go? No, you only use it in those big buys you need to do, if you want fast confirmations use LTC because it is way faster than bitcoin.

I agree, the people that use Bitcoin daily don’t really know how to use Bitcoin or they are really just spending Bitcoin because they have a set goal with the payment method.
I wouldn’t spend any of my Bitcoin if I was planning on getting a bunch of money by holding Bitcoin. I like to use Bitcoin each day though only because I don’t like holding Bitcoin and I don’t plan on getting that rich just by holding if you know what I mean.

I don't think that there is anyone who thinks that they are able to use Bitcoin for everything that they may need in their life, sure they can use it for a lot of things but for a majority of people they're fairly limited as to what they can realistically buy. There was that one gold mine (and I think there was a house at some point) that people could buy for Bitcoin, but I don't know whatever happened to those things. They might have been successful but I have no idea. Never followed the stories.

Hi friends,

As far as I know, bitcoin payments take a little time to approve. Will these approval times make it difficult to use bitcoin in our daily lives?
For example, I would get a coffee from Starbucks. Do I have to wait for approval to pay for what I have done for hours?

Yes,its a big issue in bitcoin nowadays.It should be solved quickly for the progress of bitcoin.Otherwise,big companies would drop their plans of adopting bitcoin payments.

I'm sure there will be a solution for that issue as more and more companies and merchants are accepting bitcoin, even other countries are now starting to accept bitcoin. 

Each and every problem have a solution and same goes with bitcoin transactions too and I am sure that core development team will work on it and will bring solution in quick time as if its not done in right time then many users will drop an idea of using bitcoins.

yes no doubt that it si too much important to solve this problem very soon, because the users of bitcoin are continously increasing and therefore it is very much important that the new users should not find any hurdle in use of bitcoin.

Even though if you want to buy many things from bitcoins, but that is almost impossible to do it as of now in most of the countries. Because bitcoins are not popular so much in all industries, expect gambling and porn. At least in my country, if I want to buy then I have to convert it into fiat first. But because of high transaction fees now bitcoins are not suitable for smaller amount transactions so we have to use some alt-coins.

I thino Bitcoin still give us more benefit than LTC or another altcoin because so many industries in america, japan Or Russia that accept bitcoin as payment system. I still Didnt find any bussines that accept LTC, please tell me if you know some.

Yes people who will be new to bitcoins will never like to wait longer for their transaction to get confirmed and if the first impression of bitcoin goes wrong then they will start hating bitcoins and will not prefer to use them.

Yeah, as the saying goes (well, in fact whole three), every problem has a name, you cannot solve it by relying on people who create it, and if it can be solved with money, it is actually not a problem but expenses. More specifically, developers have already come up with a bunch of solutions, but they are not the one who have the final say, while those who have don't seem to be very inclined to change anything since changing anything toward the genuine solution of the problem will cause them to lose profits

So we are essentially in a vicious circle of sorts

I can not use bitcoins every day. In my country, the status of the cryptocurrency is uncertain. But I would like to be able to buy goods for bitcoins. Especially computer hardware.

So you do not have a local exchange in your country? What county are your living by the way?
I live in a small country but we are free to use bitcoin, in fact we have the local exchanges where we can easily cash out our bitcoin into fiat and they have a lot of merchant partners where we can spend our bitcoins with a discount. I can say I am lucky to be living in my county, I hope your government will try to study bitcoin and accept it.

[atronite]

Using bitcoins at offline stores is not possible at a moment so if I have to spend my bitcoins to buy anything then firstly I need to sell them and convert them to my local currency for shopping purposes but now I have applied for bitcoin debit card so hoping that things will get easier once I have it.

Using bitcoins daily on trading sites is a great fun to me as its not only about spending them but also to get good profits from it in return where it helps me increasing the level of my bitcoins in my wallet and that is the only place where I use my bitcoins on daily basis.

I understand that trading is a great way to increase the number of coins that you have (assuming you have the proper knowledge). I however can't consider risking your money with trading to be fun. You can say it's fun when there is nothing to lose, or maybe just a few bucks. And then you need to trade against the volatility, otherwise it's not worth the effort. Things aren't as easy as they may seem. Trading isn't a joke.

I used to use them daily on gambling in the past when the price of bitcoins was too low as even if you loose it was not too painful but now with increasing price of bitcoins I cannot afford to loose even a single penny of it so now I prefer not to spend them anywhere and will save them for the future.

When you say daily I will assume you mean daily buying of things like bread and milk or petrol ? For me if I can pay in bitcoins I will otherwise I draw fait with localbitcoin and use regular fiat. I prefer to support bitcoin where I can though.I really bekive in 5 years time we will see many chances to what you can buy with bitcoin.

As of now I think there is no daily usage of Bitcoin except for the daily loading of a prepaid mobile and that is an insane thing lol.  Bitcoin had never been used as payment in offline store and there are seldom to none existent fast food chain that accept BTC for a meal.  Except of Day traders that uses Bitcoin in trading, there is none that I known of Bitcoin being used in daily stuff.

Well confirmation times are over the roof right now.

It seems dumb to use bitcoin when you are just making a purchase from a store locally. You are much better off using cash or other online payment processors such as Paypal, Paytm in India etc.

But I transfer money across borders everyday with bitcoin. IT's convenient.

We really need to have a revolutionary change of things is certain area.We need to have low cost bitcoin debit cards which can be spent quite easily like a visa or a master card and i am sure things will change drastically when it comes to the next halving and i hope the price would cross two thousand dollars by then.

[phaddie]

Its not possible to use bitcoins daily in real world as there are not many places that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment and for that to happen I think we need to wait for a very long time as bitcoin is still new to many people.

The Daily use of bitcoin is good but the problem is the fees that you will pay,  example is when its in the sending progress. There can be a slight delay because of the small fees. The bigger the fees that you add. the faster the miner will confirm your payment.  Example for me is when I cash-out  in an gambling sites. There minimum cash-out is 0.002btc but there fees are very high but faster transaction like I only wait for 5- 10 mins. But If you choose free and small transaction. 90% chance that your btc will be delay for more than a day to go in your btc wallet. So I Prefer that  use bitcoin one at a time ( big time payment) to reduce the big fee in your transaction.
