How can we make people accept bitcoins as a currency?

[CoinOnTheBeach321]

Yes many people don't know the true value of bitcoin. Scam projects and bad rumors make it more unappealing among the people. We need to spread the true functionalities and benefits of it and people’s success towards it. This will help them to accept it.

This is not the right information that people are not interested to adopt bitcoin for scams. Scams have given a negative impact on the overall market and people are worried about safety but people are confident about bitcoin and many countries are adopting this.

with the way at which bitcoin is going, it might likely be accepted as a currency even it doesn't come now it will surely come up in the nearest future. bitcoin is really make head ways in the money market economies of the world are accepting it.

We can make people to accept bitcoin by telling them what youve been experiencing in joining bitcoin.  Tell them that you really earn money by your own.  And dont make scared about scam,  because if you know what to do,  we can protect our self in the scammers and we can be aware.

We can get people to see bitcoin as a currency if e start using it to transact business- I mean use it for buying and selling.

You can't and shouldn't try to force people into accepting bitcoin-however you could and should show them the good points and positive aspects of bitcoin and by so doing convince them of bitcoins usefulness and value both as an investment and more especially the concept and tech behind it.

It is very hard to get people to accept Bitcoin now especially with the Bitcoin price falling combined with some individuals who are out to scam people, but again u don't need to force anyone you just need to explain Bitcoin concept and potentials the desire to invest in Bitcoin will come in naturally.

By people, it would have been better if you had specified them. Does it refer to those who are unaware of the market or not is still unclear. You just need to show them the usefulness of BTC, and hopefully they'll be convinced.

To make people accept bitcoin as a means of payment can only be done when there is proper education in what it is, why it exist and why they should adopt it. You can't force it on people but they will come for it when they are really aware that it is not scam or some get rich quick project.

well you right about the attitude people have over bitcoin for now due to losses they have made from scams. i think we need to build a stronger community and eductate people more on bitcoin. then stronger secuirty should be put in place and ICOs carefully observed so one doesnt fall to these scammers looking for peoples money to run off with

[medussa]

The scams will not hold people back when the bitcoin ETF is eventually approved or if a killer app is eventually found that will drive adoption crazily.we need a strong stimulus

[BitTheLight]

no one can force a person to use bitcoin, everyone chooses their method of payment and in what currency to store the money, of course people are afraid to invest their money, as there are many scammers who cheat and then leave the market with the money. and people are left with nothing. as is the case with MMM

That is why I believe in regulation somewhat in the cryptocurrency sphere. It will reduce the volatility and curb these pump and dump syndicate. when price is steady, no one will be scared of a massive dump or pump anymore. That is when the real adoption will spread.

Yes, like that expression, 'guns don't kill people, people are killing people', we can use it for lots of things in the world and it also can be applied on Bitcoin too. We can not do much about that issue, maybe we could affect on it on small local level but people that have been tricked once is hard to change their opinion. Those who didn't have negative experience with Bitcoin have to research good  everything that they want to know and that will lower chances of scams or similar unpleasant things.

[bling-bling]

The only way fo r people to fully accept as a currency is when there have been considerable transactions across the globe using Bitcoin as payment. This is where big names like Apple, BMW, Samsung, etc. comes in. When people sees that Bitcoin is being "utilized" by the big guns of the business industry, the trust will build up, image will grow for the best, and legitimacy is further confirmed.

[brylle34]

s an ordinary people we don't need to do anything, but if we are rich and has a lot of connections we can do something like regulating bitcoin as payments on our businesses so that bitcoin will be well known or create some good news that will have a great impact on bitcoin

[btcmaster999]

I do not seem this information right as many people are still in favor of adopting bitcoin and many countries governments are talking steps for the adoption of bitcoin. There can be a slow response but that is for limited period of time. This information is rumors in fact.

[josephdd1]

I think right now we must worry about the larger bodies and not individual people because I think the little people already are aware of the benefits of crypto but for the governments its a frightening thought so we need to come out with something that'll be appealing to them.

[2weent6]

Tell people about the goodness of bitcoin, its technology and its function for sure they love to understand more about bitcoin but we cannot force them to use this technology, maybe they are not ready for the risk of this market so we have no choice but to respect it.

Basically, show them proof to make believe that bitcoin being a digital currency is not a scam. Coins.ph is the wallet I've been using to store my coins. It can have Php, BTC, ETH, BCH, and XRP wallets at the moment and looking forward to more coins to consider. The simplest way I did to make my friends accept bitcoins as a digital currency, I bought loads for my mobile phone using the BTC coin I had in my wallet and told them that you can earn those coins through mining, faucets, and bounties to convince them more to jump in the crypto world.
