how will people adapt change from FIAT CURRENCY to DIGITAL CURRENCY like BITCOIN?

When the internet was made and people realised online shopping was cool and all, then we started to slowly transition over to credit card and all sorts of online payment options, such as paypal, etc.

With our growing society, the transition involved stores adding new payment methods. I think that maybe in a couple of years, bitcoin will be added to a lot of stores and we will be able to spend Bitcoin to buy stuff in real life.

There is a difference - credit cards and paypal managed to add convenience to the way we shop. Bitcoin doesn't do the same. Unless there are discounts offered for shopping with bitcoin, or some other tangible reason, people won't feel the need to change.

Of course the transactions fees will helps Bitcoin pass Paypal and credit cards. Example when we use credit card or paypal for order some things very expensive, maybe higher than $50,000 Bitcoin is best choice for you, do not need you verify or prove your money is fresh

Start with online banking, introduce backend as blockchain related currency, have the app auto convert the value.
That might confuse people since their balance is changing so probably would need a cash side and a cryptocurrency side with a note on the screen that the prices are changing over time.
Done and implemented.

That conversion should get easier as time goes on and as Bitcoin goes more mainstream. There are only a few ways to convert currently with localbitcoins and a few companies like Coinbase etc. In the future more businesses will open to do this and eventually banks will probably need to adapt to convert between Bitcoin and fiat. Banks that don't do this will begin to fall behind and lose customers.

It is not that easy to adapt a big change where fiat currency will vanish and be replaced by digital currency. It is difficult mostly to elders, cause not all of them adapt the modern technology. Many of them, do not prefer using online services instead they still stick to process they already know. Like paying bills, they would rather go out than pay it online. Fiat currency will not be replaced by digital currency as easy as others think, it may took many many years for people to adapt this thing. There must be a proper way to discuss things about bitcoin to let people know and be knowledgeable about it.

yes it can all happen, because fiat or banknotes are now inefficient if always in use up to 10 years to come will make the paper raw materials of wood from the trees will run out. if all did not change into the digital world then the world will get hotter.

Digital currency has been around for 30 years!

Credit cards, debit cards, ACH transactions, bank balance movements online - that's all digital currency.

What you're asking about is CRYPTO currency. It's very different. Crypto currency involves an encrypted security to it that verifies that the bitcoin in your wallet is actuall bitcoin.

How will people adapt? It'll start as an attraction to a new investment, asset class, and then will evolve to acceptance as currency (particularly after the price has stabilized somewhere)>

People can easily adapt digital currency because of its characteristic. It is easy to use, easy to transfer and many more.

The digitization of money started one with the ATMs, credit cards, online shopping and so on. Regarding the crypto currency, there is another story. It won't be easy to accept the crypto technology but, i consider that every day practice will help. When people will say that everybody is doing it then why shouldn't he do it so, it's just a question of time and practice.

That is good the transition of fiat and digital has already started we are bound to digital currency world , because as you can see many departments and stablishments have shawn accepted payments  through bitcoin. The centralize process of bitcoin from the country of Japan, USA follows many countrymen to suit implementation to cryptotechnology due to many users request.

Right,  but of course before all of this happen regularly,  bitcoin must first be legalized. Before  we can fully adapt bitcoin in our daily life,  it should be first allowed by the government.  That is just sad because bitcoin was made for all people but as soon as the government recognize its usefulness and puts up bars around I am sure that bitcoin will no longer be as how it used to be.

I think it's the opposite way around. Digital to fiat is the better one. Have you already tried that one that you mentioned above? It also confuses me too. I guess it's better if cashing out money from crypto to make it fiat and that's the time you start your bank account,not the online banking. I think it's a lot worth it so that you can ask more information directly to the bank or if you have complains. As you mentioned,the balance is changing and it needs cash that's why I prefer to fiat money first so it maintains the balance and with less worries.

People might find it difficult to adopt the technology of bitcoin especially those who are not literated enough since the only way to access cryptos is thru internet it is important that the people will learn it. I think the process will take long before the full adaptation of digital currencies

Definitely, it is very hard for someone who is not that technically good when it comes to technology to adopt such kind of digital currency that is why in some areas or part of the nation specially in some provinces that doesn't have gadgets and even internet they cannot even recognize what is BTC means because they cannot even know how to use a cellphone and even know how to use internet.

[v0rtecxz]

the use of digital currency may be for some people who already know the internet must be familiar with it, but some people out there still use fiat currency because they may not be used to using digital money and maybe it is easier to do for those who have not been too both in accessing the internet, and more tends to use fiat currency as a means of payment, may take time for everyone to get used to knowing and using digital currencies

First thing, bitcoin is not only digital currency, it is 'digital crypto currency'. There is this difference. When we say online transaction what is that isn't it a digital money. Earlier plastic money (credit card) was there. It is still being used. Now mobile paying technologies are there. So people are using digital payment systems. With complete digital where there is no chance of seeing you money like fiat (actual you could see you bitcoin in paper if you convert in in paper wallet, this is closest to the physical form of crypto). There wont be much problem for people once they get used to the concept. there many tokens available with different purpose in purchase.
Once the transaction time is lowered withing minute or so, majority people will find it easy to operate with.

the transition from physical currency to digital currency has begun a long time ago. these days people rarely use cash. we are all using cards, our phones and all kinds of weird stuff to pay online/offline. and that was a long process and took years.

transition from fiat to bitcoin is another thing though. I don't think it will happen. people and government won't simply give up on their centralized country currency and use a decentralized global one. not for another 100 years maybe. but that doesn't mean bitcoin can be used as a currency alongside fiat though. I am only talking about replacing it.

Yes 100 years or more maybe. It is really hard to accept this. How will large nations react on it. Foreign Exchange will be extinct which means every country will just have the same currency. Gold reserve will not be important for a country's economy.

Maybe before we reach a world using just crypto currency we need to have a stage first that every nation has a single currency.

Hopefully when we reach the stage that crypto currency is the new fiat it will still be bitcoin not just a government generated crypto currency.

People adopt digital currency if they know how to use it.

[astrid.uchiha24]

actually we have adopted to the system of digital currency long time ago, for example atms. they are considered as digital money since you can transact without using actualy money even it does not have value, on the other hand bitcoin, throughout the world it has not been accepted yet by all the countries but it is just a matter of time that all businesses will accept it.

I think there are very few countries that now accept the switch from fiat to digital because of its inconvenience, it is difficult to pay compared to cash. Besides, you can almost convert in Japan and a few countries accept it. Conversion technology is not ready yet for us to spread around the world
