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

[Golftech]

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.

Based on my own experience, i have already taught one of my friends to use and to invest in bitcoin for them to support their daily needs in life and i also encourage them that using bitcoin as a currency has a advantage because every transaction will be more faster and convenient when you do it in every store, that is why a lot of people are hoping that the bitcoin will start to be legalize the government.

indeed bitcoin provides convenience, especially for online stores, but even then it is difficult to happen in our country because bitcoin has not been legalized to transact, of course, when conducting transactions including illegal activities, hopefully my country will soon be legalized

There's still countries who think that bitcoin threaten their economy or they're still seeing it as a some type of ponzi/scam system,
but for those who able to cater and enjoy the usage of bitcoin for payment transactions they  are well aware what bitcoin bring
them as an easy access to those online stores and some payment centers who already accept bitcoin as one of its cater currency.

many countries have different problems if they want to use bitcoin, like in my country in my country. there are still many terrorists and ponzi schemes, as well as opportunities for money laundering, but I think later if you want to become a developed country, the government must follow technological developments, and I am not worried about the current ban

All countries will develop slowly over time even though in some countries it does not respond to the current virtual currency. We can only wait in the waiting chair to see everything will change in the future.

More the merchant acceptance more we can expect bitcoin as general currency these kind of adoption happened in Japan so bitcoin became legal tender over there

[Xalata]

If we want to use bitcoin as a currency then we marketplaces and online marketing shops should update their systems to accept cryptocurrencies. Also, i believe crypto enthusiasts can actually champion this course by publicly spending their cryptocurrencies rather than just holding them like an asset.

[dat.ho12492]

We need to have more merchants and services accepting crypto currencies
i count on Bakkt what can be very popular in Asia
Bakkt will offer safe storage and will cover transaction fee
But still people around the globe are making money in his national currencies
Best chance for crypto currencies is to be internet money
LN is first step next we need to have services what will support that kind of payments

The most important is government, they are the main factor determining whether bitcoin can be used as currency or not, as long as they approve and allow bitcoin to be widely used, I'm sure everyone will use bitcoin as a currency. But we really need to think carefully about whether we want to use and waste bitcoin or we just want to use bitcoin to invest and make more money, Bitcoin is an asset and a very good portfolio, I believe people know which choice is optimal and good for them.

It isn't that easy to make a change throughout the world instantly. It takes time to attain the same, as of now very few countries around the world has understood better about the need of a virtual currency to the increasing population and the advancing technology. This will progress slowly giving way to more countries get into it.

We can get people to use bitcoin as a currency is by encouraging them and influencing them to use and to invest in bitcoin, so if they start to create a business tgey can put a sign that they are accepting bitcoin as a payment. You can also advertise it to store owners by encouraging them what benefits that they could receive if they start to accept bitcoins.

I certainly believe that the prime action to take is to educate people on the real essence  of Bitcoin and its functionalities. It would also help gain trust and interest in order for them to be fully-aware on how this technology truly works and the opportunities it can offer. It may not be widely-accepted for now, but I'm still hopeful and positive that it in the long run its demand will continue to increase and more people will embrace this innovation.

In accordance with the times, education about crypto or blockchain will continue to be in demand so that this will be a good impact for crypto users. However internet technology is expanding and this will be a development that is always the future, crypto will be used to become a more effective transaction even though many are eyeing it.

One way can be to incentivize through changes and sales, that is, if you sell a television or if you are an owner of a commercial store, you can implement the payment through Bitcoin, this if it does not bring you problems with the country where you live, since there are many countries that are generating laws for the use of cryptocurrencies, and the least that is wanted is to cause a problem before the merchant that has the enterprise.

But how we are going to convince the people bitcoin is actually a currency while it still have volatile nature on its price value.

First we need to spread about the bitcoin to each and every corner in the right way,don't say we can get rich quicker by buying bitcoin because it will make the scenario more worse.

[daarul50]

At present, we are still constrained by the legalization of bitcoin in several countries so that people do not believe in doing transactions with bitcoin. But, if all countries in the world legalize bitcoin, then maybe everyone will use bitcoin as a currency like a fiat currency because they believe that the legalization done by the government against bitcoin makes transactions in the form of bitcoin safe.

[Ezenwanyi]

Making bitcoin to be a legal tender for the purchase of goods and services , there is the need to improve on the various key  technologies of the blockchain, such as scalability, interoperability , security issues etc.
This is to ensure that the blockchain brings value to the everyday activities of the people.
There's also the need for government to accept bitcoin and support it.

In my own personal opinion, we can get people to use bitcoin as a currency is by encouraging and influencing people who has their own business because they could start accepting bitcoin from that. And there will be chances that more stores and business will start to accept bitcoin too.

[mbluxs]

A legality is the main thing to do to be able to provide rules that people must use. this is very important so everyone will continue to do so. whereas currently bitcoin is still a debate in every country

[Ilhanassar]

Get rich quick phase has gone in 2017. From now on , digital currencies especially Bitcoin will be fairly valued and grow organically without much hype , this what we have been watching in the last couple of months. This stability and lack of volitality will push credited investors and institutions pour their money gradually in the coming years , that's will surely help a smooth transition from using fiat money to use digital money instead. As a result , I see a huge step to be made for a mass adoption of Bitcoin and altcoins all over the world in the next decade.

[Abiky]

We have great news and think that is not bad move in direction of massive adoption. On Twitter you can tip someone for great content through lightning network, also on Samsung S10 will be blockchain wallet. These are short steps, but step by step we will have more people which use BTC.

Exactly. These recent trends will only bring more people into using Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies within their daily lives. To help spread adoption, there needs to be usability, user-friendliness, and stability. With mainstream companies such as Twitter and Samsung promoting crypto, people will join this emerging space sooner or later. Things aside, I believe that what's preventing Bitcoin from being used as a currency is the high transaction fees and slow performance.

With SegWit and Lightning Network, it's hoped that Bitcoin's capacity would increase tenfold for the whole world to enjoy. Which is why, we as crypto enthusiasts should do our best in promoting the benefits of Bitcoin to attract as much people as we can. As you've said earlier, step-by-step we will have more people that will use Bitcoin into their lives. Just my opinion
