How can we make people accept bitcoins as a currency?

[Othuke]

One thing we can do is to ensure that we who are involved in Bitcoin-related activities are not involved (or perceived to be involved) in fraudulent activities. That way, we help to re-position Bitcoin's reputation.

It is necessary to introduce more advertising, to show people on real examples, that the crypto currency is more worthy than ordinary money, etc.

In my view, to make people accepted bitcoin as a currency by using it in our daily life. For example, when people wanna buy your things, you can ask them to pay it by using bitcoin. Also, when your friends wanna send you Money, you can ask them to send it as a bitcoin. And many more.

Just asking them to pay with bitcoin?
Why should they do that when they don't know the advantages? Why should they do that while there is no problem in paying with fiat?
First, people should know the advantages of cryptocurrencies.

First of all, explain them the basics of BTC and how do ICOs, locals, exchanges etc work. Make them understand that scums are not based on the essential of BTC.

I think it is good to create a platform where people will be educating about bitcoin and how it works.let them to know the positive side of bitcoin not negative side. By so doing so many people from different countries will accept bitcoin.

As far as I'm concerned, people will accept bitcoin as a currency only if bitcoin is legalized all over the world. But i think it is really hard for bitcoin to be accepted because the government always try to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrency

I think that we should not force people to accept bitcoin. Each person is individual. He has his own understanding of what is good for him and what is bad for him. If he does not want to deal with cryptocurrencies and avoids them, then we have no right to force him to change his mind. The time will come and he will understand what is right and what is not. No need to impose anything on anyone.

In my opinion we need more possibilities to use bitcoin as a currency. For now we can mostly just to invest in or trade and a couple of points to utilize bitcoin as a currency. If we get more point of sale where we can use bitcoin it will become more and more accepted as a global currency.

What for? I'm not being arrogant, but now Bitcoin is still not friendly to most people. The concept brought by Bitcoin itself will make them frown their foreheads and become skeptical. Just let them come by themselves when the hype comes back, stay focused on your business, don't think too much about others unless it brings you benefits.

A lot of scams have caused the fear of theft among people and they are regarding bitcoin and its trading a scam. People seem to be reluctant towards investing in bitcoins. How do we ensure them that bitcoins are not scam but the people are.

There certainly should be more educational program regarding the use and investment in crypto and bitcoin in particular.
When I watch TV there are so many shows explaining people how to recognize financial pyramids and Ponzi schemes, so why can't the same be made with relation to crypto?

[zeingrind777]

getting people to accept Bitcoin as a legitimate currency is a difficult job and takes a long time, because it is certain that refusal will continue to emerge, that's why I think to leave it alone until the world really needs Bitcoin as a currency..

We all know that anything trending that is related with money is always followed by scams. It's on you whether you can find out the scam or not. Because as it is new to some persons, actually it is new and as it is new so new techniques are being used to do fraud so one should do some research on it and do their trading if they find someone reliable and do some research on them too to be over sure that they are reliable. In every sector scam and fraud is a common thing, you got to filter the scams by your self by getting more info about it so that you can find out the fraud easily, and your friends should know these too because it's a common thing.

When peoples accept bitcoin as a currency, that means bitcoin has already became a stable currency.
For now i think bitcoin price is stable in the market. Even there are many scams in the past, but that was not bitcoin. So peoples can trust on bitcoin.

who do you mean here? people who invest in bitcoin or those who accuse bitcoin of being a fraud?
indeed a lot of bitcoin fraud but I don't think that needs to be worried because it is only a matter of our own policy
scam coins are a lot but hopefully this fraud will end soon.
