How can we get people to use bitcoin as a currency?

[kamilah147]

Bitcoin is already a currency but it is not yet really used like the fiat currencies. The reason is that it is not yet supported everywhere as a payment method either online or offline. That is why people still considering Bitcoin mainly as an asset, they trade and hold it for making good profits.

the possibility could happen that no one can know for sure the crypto currency is going to grow in the future it will be like to be able to be a currency in my country but it can't seem because the government is still banning direct transactions with crypto currencies

How can we get people to use bitcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to get cash as a lot of people seem to do? When I say currency, I mean the literal definition of currency as something that is used as a medium of exchange.
Even online, there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.

I'm asking you again?
What is your position in your country?
1. Are you president,
2. Are you chairman of the legislative council,
3. Or you are the chairman of the United Nations and the World Bank,
Many want to be like you want, but that can't happen in one country, Bitcoin is made into a real currency.
if you say Bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange to make money in certain countries it could be, for example, like Gold etc.
You know that bitcoin was issued in 2009, while the legitimate currency in each country has been legislated and approved by the government before you were born.

You don't have to convince them, it's their loss that they didn't use it as early as possible. However if they are interested, tell them to watch it in youtube or go here for them to really understand it how it works.

We need to let merchants know that we have bitcoins and we are willing to spend them. If we can't use face to face BTC payment, it would have to fall on online wallets and such. For example in my country our largest exchange allows us to pay any utility bill and even buy game credits and mobile load straight of the wallet.

[Gabteb]

Its not so easy BTC is something new and 10 years is not so much but it will not happen until price of BTC or other alts wouldt be stabilised ,so user must know btc he send know as 50k usd, for example, wouldn't be 100k after week but we need time for this adaptation will not happen in one year but we are very close to that day.

[Stac]

 To get people to use Bitcoin as a currency they should have a knowledge about internet and make people understand what is Bitcoin and the benefits of using Bitcoin they should be convinced about the merits and demerits of Bitcoin usage  we should convince them about the privacy of Bitcoin and no need of any approval of banks or government authorities and it could be used internationally without a third party influence .Make them aware  of the volatility of Bitcoin  in the market so the price will be fluctuating according to the market demand . Convince that majority of the industrially developed countries accepts Bitcoin because of its market demand and operational convenience .

[Apes]

the effective methods so that people want to use BTC for their daily needs are given extensive regulations on crypto currencies in each country. it will provide flexibility for users and merchants to use as a payment method. if there is no regulation from the government. I think that will continue to inhibit and even kill BTC.
in fact it is difficult to use BTC just to buy tissue paper.

maybe it is true what you say and maybe in your country it can be said that the crypto currency is able to fulfill the function of the real currency but in my country the government still prohibits transactions directly using crypto currency

[purple.thoughts]

I think this is not the right now to make it as a currency or let us say stable currency. For me, there will be the time in the future that Bitcoin will be a primary cryptocurrency in the world. So let us just wait for that time since there are already establishment who accepts Bitcoin as payment but only few for now but definitely will increase in the futures

I know but we also should try to tell other about it because if more people will know about crypto currency it is our own benefit too, as more adoption will make price rise high and in future we will earn good profit. If we will put our effort for motivating and convening them to adopt crypto currency we will make big profit, just show them your profit and use simple words to make them understand it.

it's still difficult bro, considering every country has a different currency.
but of course it is the goal of developing bitcoin and is expected to be realized in the future

never, don't expect something impossible to happen, world financial experts have agreed that Cypto will never dominate paper money. compared to the fiat bitcoin currency still has a lot of shortcomings. I prefer to call bitcoin an investment not a payment currency.

[Crypto24hrs]

Somehow i have a divergent view on this, first of all bitcoin should be made available for use, either by doing more of Airdrops or through any other related means that will make the masses to have access to crypto and spend it, why because an adage has it 'that the text of every pudding is in the eaten' meaning that no matter how good a product may be unless and until people uses it they will not appreciate the value which will lead to voluntary mass adoption and usage of bitcoin.

[Stavri]

well. it is hard for now. because bitcoin is not enough fast for daily usage. network size and transaction speeds are not proper for practicle usage. but there are better crypto currency solutions already in the market instead of bitcoin.

That's certainly true, mate. One cannot deny that Bitcoin still have a lot of shortcomings. However, it's known that Bitcoin will improve over time as new technologies are discovered, and developers work continuously on stabilizing the protocol. Even so, it's up to the governments around the world to properly regulate the crypto market, to help bring the stability in price needed for Bitcoin to be used as a real currency.

Despite this, Bitcoin is just a mere asset/store of value than a currency because of the volatility and high costs. This won't attract much people into using it for their daily lives, as they would only hoard it instead of spending it at a merchant or business. Several efforts have already been made by the community, and mainstream companies to help attract people worldwide into using Bitcoin as an alternative currency to Fiat. But if the level of adoption is low, then newcomers won't be very interested into the pioneer cryptocurrency. Just my opinion

Only few people are not agree to use crypto currency but most of us are ready to use bitcoin as there are so many sites which use to deal with it, everything is possible and I am sure soon people will only use crypto currency for payment and they will not use fiat, so in this modern age it will not take much time to make all benefits of crypto currency to even ordinary people.

Well, first people must be able to use it for small otc purchases. Various groups are working on that.

Currently that's impractical. Even the few sites where I can pay using bitcoins work by converting them to fiat at some point.

[Crypdon]

Jack Dorsey is already trying to push this forward, especially with his cash app and support of the lightning network. Once LN is ready, it is ready to use

The fact of the matter is that on the Internet there are only a few sites where you can pay with cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency has not yet received wide distribution. It takes time. It is necessary for the states to legalize cryptocurrency, determine the order of its circulation, establish clear rules for its use for various forms of business structures. If it is convenient, they will begin to use cryptocurrency. Therefore, forcing someone to use cryptocurrency is not necessary. For this must mature the necessary conditions.

[arwani1985]

If we want this, of course there is a big role from the government of each country that indeed must be able to provide a big rule in every country where they can legalize cryptocurrency as an investment.
