How can we push the actual use of Bitcoin ?

[Ronaldcoin2017]

Theres no need to push the actual use of bitcoin users nowadays will advertise the bitcoin it self it is like you were gonna invite someone just to use the investment you were using special altcoins that needs investments, day by day people shows intertest to use it and that is why the demand and the volume of bitcoin is getting more higher than the past years. But ofcourse give them advices on how they can usually use thier coins for the better one.

yes but for me sharing to others is one of the bestway to push the actual use of bitcoin.sharing all advantage  and the benefits of using bitcoin can lead to push it to the actual use of it.

yes i agree on that sharing it to other is like giving an opportunity and income to the people in a community .in short it is verry helpful to those who didnt have work yet.so then sharing is the fraction  of pushing it to the actual use of bitcoin.

I think the best way to push the actual usage of Bitcoin is by establishing a lot of Bitcoin merchants or compelling merchants of various goods and services to accept Bitcoin. Secondly, it's imperative for us to solve all issues associated with the Bitcoin network so that there will be faster confirmation and somewhat low transaction fees so that it will come in handy when making smaller transactions.

It's a good idea. I remember a thread about a wedding where some guests used bitcoin as a gift for the newly wed. So I hope this would be a trend in some occasions where guest will give btc on the celebrant. It's informing the people and also making them a bitcoin user.

A massive use for a coin that needs about US 4.00 (this barely adopted as coin) to transfer as fee is hilarious.

The fee is starting to be rather noticeable. The credit card fee of 3% is almost preferable for smaller transactions.  Hopefully this will correct itself in time to keep bitcoin competitive with other payment options.

It it natural that the fee is increasing the more bitcoin gets used by the public so the demand of it has gone up but until recently the supply remained the same, the miner could only accommodate so many transactions in a single block, this made the price of the fees to skyrocket but now that segwit has been activated I think we are going to see a reduction in the fees in the next months.

Pushing the use of bitcoin or the physical use of btc is creating adequate awareness and advert which I think that this forum talk on bitcoin and campaigns are already pushing.
With very little time ahead, I so much believe something very good will come in the way of people who are having btc and other crytos now. So hold it firmly or invest wisely.

I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

• Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
• Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
• Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

Indeed. A real characteristic of a currency was to be capable of being use as a term of payment in various business establishments. But the statement that we must push bitcoin usage, I think it is no need for that thing to do. Because with its own features providing real benefits into mankind, many people will be just get attracted into it and will continue and pursue using it on a daily life situation. As retailers and businessmen will see that the consumers demand was to widely use bitcoin for payment purpose, they will surely implement the operation of bitcoin usage to get along with the consumers demands, needs and wants. Because that is how business runs. Go with the majority flow.

There are many people like, not only students have that problem but housewives as well, a housewife cannot get a regular job because she takes care of the kids and the house but with bitcoin she can make some additional income from her home on her free time, and this also applies to a person with a disability, there is a lot of discrimination out there, but bitcoin does not discriminate, as long as you can do the job you get the earnings.

I think that the only way to make people feel more confortable using bitcoin is just by promoting it, doesnt matter where, but it has to be more pushed and promoted on the TV, mass social media websites, like facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
That is the only way to make it more popular/useful. And this is far the best option that i can suggest for it.

Bitcoin gets the fame and popularity through the years.

Sharing your thoughts about bitcoin is best way to spread the word of bitcoin and they will actually invest their money here.

I believe that bitcoin should not be only be hold but also be used. We can push the use of bitcoin once there are more institutions and retail store make bitcoin available as a payment. Like in our country, people are tempted to use bitcoin because there are transaction like cable and electric fee are bitcoin base. Bitcoin were also used as prepaidload or payment for online games. Bitcoins are used once there are available transaction that can be done. It would be also push once it can be used for shopping and buying essential needs.

There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.

Indeed. There is really no need for pushing the actual usage of bitcoin. Let the people decide on their own if they are going to choose to use bitcoin or not. In fact, bitcoin has already been established its legal and wide usage in other countries with no force. It is just so happrn that bitcoin is really attractive through its price rate that make individuals engage on it and use it for different purpose. Widely use and demand make the government realize that bitcoin usage must be legalize it was not a forced phenomenon. Let bitcoin continue to grow and popular and the next thing to happen is that its actual usage will now be establish.

Bitcoin is almost famous now all over the world.Till now,no one has pushed it to get this much popular.People have got attracted by it due to its high increase in price and low transaction fee.The only thing we have to solve is high transaction fee due to which transactions got stuck.Segwit has been activated to solve this issue and once it gets completely locked in,transaction fee would get reduced.Another thing which could be done is to explain to our friends and relatives about bitcoin.

                           Well i think its because more countries are being hesitant to decide if they are going to legalized it or not, and i think they are just waiting for someone or some other country that would legalized it first and then they would be following it so on. One of the problems also and as you have stated about transaction fees and hoping someday it would be resolve also, and for those who doesn't clearly understand bitcoin someday they will realize it though.

to push the actual use of bitcoin, i think we are must still doing the best in using bitcoin not to abuse it or to criminalize bitcoin or to harm other bitcoin users. it is essentially something that is higher / more superior, it will be more threats or its interference too, Stay makes bitcoin continue to survive and continue to drive finances in a good ways.

I agree to you. The people will use bitcoins only if they got interested to the bitcoin. Many people are still not yet aware to the bitcoin and I think we cna;t push the actual use of bitcoin in our society.

[Carlsen]

I think it is very hard to get people to use their bitcoins at the moment.
Most owners are in it as investors for a longer time.
And even if you are not an investor you must admit that the price of bitcoin went up. Very quick, very fast.
If somebody tells you to use your coins, it is like the advice to give an opportunity, or to give money away.

yes that is right that increasing transaction fee is a hurdle for, but i think the number of bitcoin users is also another reason, i think that with the passage of time when bitcoin users will increase then people will like to use bitcoin for which it has created i think that it will take some more time because still the users of bitcoin are below 2%.

It is only in some uses but in form of investing it is being used of many of us. Actually we cannot push other people they will automatically the one who will push themselves if they finally know what is bitcoins and how much money it can make for them.

We can definitely push the actual use of bitcoins in our respective societies by spreading awareness about bitcoins. We can start campaigns that will spread knowledge about bitcoins. Besides we can begin charity at our homes by teaching our closed ones about bitcoins via videos and examples of new millionaires that have been evolved by the courtesy of bitcoins.

I just wondering what is the actual use of Bitcoin? I do not think that people can see the actual usage of bitcoin. Besides the good technology and the source of income, I do not see bitcoin can be used as other things too. Well, may be something like gambling or spend bitcoin to have some fun will be an exception. So what is the real purpose to use this bitcoin then?
