Why use Bitcoins ?
I keep seeing threads on “why don't people” ? The real question to me is Why would they ?
-The average consumer will go way out of their way to save money. Bitcoins cost more. -The average consumer will usually pay a little extra to have convenience. Bitcoin is less convenience and more hoops and complications.
I just cannot see any reason for the average consumer to use Bitcoins. Until average consumers start using Bitcoins they will just be an experiment and a small speculative bubble.
I have my personal reasons, I am interested Bitcoins them as a tech person, speculative investor and person that follows evolving treads and markets. I am just struggling to see any.. benefits for the average consumer at this stage.
Bitcoin was not designed in the way you are describing it. Bitcoin was not made for people to use it to buy groceries and everyday spending with. It is meant as an investment option, similar to gold. Bitcoin is also fairly anoymous, especially if you use multiple addresses. Think of bitcoin as gold and compare them. They re both investments but Bitcoin has the abilibity to be spent online. Bitcoin is not only a vessel to store value but it's also really useful in the remittance industry. I can send 100,000$ paying a mere 4$ in fees with Bitcoin while it would cost me 3000$ with PayPal and I'd take some risk to do the paypal transaction while doing the same thing from a traditional bank would cost some money,time & would probably raise questions. Yeah, I think the guy here has a good answer to this very question. Bitcoin was designed to disrupt PayPal and other expensive means of send money from one person to another. Bitcoin provide the solution in such a way that people can send large amount of money in a fast and secure way with very low transaction fees. Using bitcoin is simple and easy - yet the transactions are instant all over the world. Bitcoin knows no customs, no borders, or regulations whatsoever.

Like what general investors in BTC have decided, its not meant to be used to buy groceries. Its a store of value
It depends on the person who is using bitcoin. There are people who are using bitcoin on their everyday needs since this is the only way they are earning money, and they really need it, that is why we can't blame them on using it on their everyday living, though in a way they are throwing away the profits that they could make in the long run if they are going to hold it and will just convert some if they need it. Actually, majority of the person here they used bitcoin to their daily lives to all expenses they need to buy. Especially, bitcoin most used for sending money thru remittances.

Initially I joined bitcoin just wanted to earn more money, but from time to time I feel comfortable in this forum and get a lot of knowledge, from start I learned bounty follow, trading, to be a translator. I think using bitcoin is more useful than its harm.

I guess we all have our own reasons and understanding about bitcoin. I invested in Bitcoin believing that it would be our worlds currency. Now why should I use bitcoin?, my answer is because it is the future money, now that its still a bit early to use it as payment in stores or wherever you can think of, I just hold it and wait for it to grow more. Well, its purpose is to send money to whoever you like without having a third party that would make money out of your transaction, if that is the way our future transactions would be, then I would like to be part of it.
there are so many uses of bitcoin , not only for personal uses, one of those are we can use it in our daily needs, we can buy our goods online we can now use that, i have heard that in some countries bitcoin has been acceptable now and it has a been recognize and they can use that in their resto.

For why i use bitcoin is to get an income because being a student it hard to buy our needs if our money is not enough to our daily expenses to that i use bitcoin to provide my daily needs and also to support my studies.

This is an strengths of the Bitcoin's function can supplies. Most of the people use Bitcoin before its value increases because they want to transfer their money through Bitcoin. It can gives us a services transfer money with cheapest fees and the speed also fastest, no payment method can compare to Bitcoin.

For many of us, bitcoin is the future. Because people are earning money through bitcoin and this is what makes their dreams come true and they earn with hard work. Else, students need to fulfill their daily expense too. So this is quiet helpful. If it is about payment method then bitcoin is better in every single step.

Well bitcoin is really not that cheap in fact it is more valuable than any other fiat. For me use bitcoin because of it's technology that allows us to enjoy those benefits that you mention and use bitcoin because you want to secure your future. There's a big opportunity here on bitcoin you just need to find it how to maximize those opportunity.

Base in our generation, bitcoin is made of internet generation. So it the all transaction was very fast and easily. It may be procedural but not like the other. Example using the credit card it more step to do but in bitcoin was not and our time was reduces also.Bitcoin is provide financially freedom and it secured.

It's funny. This thread could have been started in 2009 and would still be on point.
Unless you earn bitcoin directly, there's no reason whatsoever to go out of your way to buy it, just to spend it. I get that point. Then there's the issue of merchants not accepting it. Then there's the issue of transaction fees, which credit cards don't have. The list goes on...
I have spent bitcoin on things, mainly because I got those coins from a sig campaign. But Johnny Funkbombs on the street doesn't earn money that way, so he has no reason to want to own it or to spend it. Bitcoin should be kept like precious metals are kept. Or the way stocks are held.

BITCOIN for me is the future of digital currency. I believe someday, it will soar higher than what we could see it now. As the time goes by, more and more people will invest in BTC and other crypto currencies. We will see in the coming years! Let's hope for the best!

Bitcoin provides financial freedom.It can allow you to be your own bank. Bitcoin is simultaneously an open financial protocol and a currency required in order to transact freely on the protocol.

I absolutely agree with you and also think that, now, there are no reasons for an average consumer to use bitcoin. Bitcoin is already a trend but still most people don’t really use it. Probably things will change in some time as more shops, stores or any services will start accepting bitcoins.
