I cannot find any practical use now with the mobile bitcoin wallet on my android phone because I haven't found any merchants in my country who want to receive the money. Is it bad or good for us? All comments are welcome.

You can use it to spread the word and give people their first Bitcoins. But yes, these things take a lot of time.

It is useful when buying or selling BTC for cash with some guy you are meeting at a Starbucks.

I've heard of one or two places accepting Bitcoins out here in San Francisco. Right now, there's probably not much use. I imagine a lot of brick and mortar shops are simply too worried about making any money at all to accept Bitcoins at this point.

I actually use my mobile wallet quite often. Mostly to do personal trading with people who are interested or just to show people.

"We are all in it together"

so if you cannot see any local shops accepting bitcoin, then this is an ample opportunity for you. speak to local shops tell them about bitcoin, find someone locally that has enough "reserve" that would happily exchange bitcoins for local currency to become the shops exchanger.

there is no magic company out there that will do this for you. it involves finding some like minded guys that live near you and forming your own little bitcoin group to then establish local services.

become the local economy.

meanwhile in the USA 12,000 restaurants can now deliver fastfood to people with thanks to their online gateway.

so look for any online services that connect to local restaurants and persuade them to accept bitcoin which then ripple effects down to the individual places in towns without the local shops having to do much work or even realsie their customer paid via bitcoin.
