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

[hahahafr]

One of the simplest ways which we can help people to start using bitcion as payment method is to first of all teach them how to make transactions. So many folks are afraid of all the thefts and hacking cases that spread through the cryptospace and don't feel secured to use cryptocurrencies. if this fear is allayed by teaching them exactly what they should do so that their wallets don't get hacked i think people would change their mind and start using bitcoin to make transactions.

When there is more marketplace acceptance automatically the usage of bitcoin as a payments will increase. This will gradually get to make it same as a currency, the present time hasn't got limited Marketplaces accepting bitcoin. Also these Marketplaces were much available online, when offline stores with bitcoin acceptance increase we can assure with the bitcoin as a currency.

It's not that easy to get people to use bitcoin as a daily currency in a daily routine because they wanted to have physical things. People especially the old generations are used in fiat and gold so it's very hard for them to believe in a digital currency. Maybe we, the new generation, might have a chance to make our community as a smart city where bitcoin is the main currency for having a transaction. We are not yet in the process of being a smart city, there are a few advanced technologies but it's not quite good like we see in the cyberpunk(lol).

Still it may not be accepted as currency if bitcoin has the volatility on its price,when people want to use bitcoin as currency it must have atleast stable range value or it will be considered as an investment only.

I think that at the moment people are very comfortable living in the hoax that fiat money means, because apparently they have not realized the imminent great crisis that is looming, and maybe only then will they realize how important it was to look an alternative to the oppressive financial system that dominates us today. While this great world crisis does not happen, I do not see the way in which people start to prefer cryptocurrencies to cash.

[bitsurfer2014]

Everytime I do business online now I ask for Bitcoin. I thought people would refuse but to my surprise a lot of them had BTC and gladly settled!

If everyone did the same BTC would quickly gain widespread acceptance. It just needs critical mass of adoption.

That's where the challenge lies. To get people who are outside the crypto community to use it with us. Of course it would be obvious that the people you were able to transact with are crypto users and are within the community. One option is to keep using it as such and let other people see that we're freely using crypto with confidence. They may imitate us in the future.

giving awareness to others to use crypto certainly starts from our own, it is not easy to explain crypto to others, before we show concrete evidence of the results. because in my country it hasn't been legalized, of course it's hard to see crypto for daily needs

Absolutely right! If we try to educate people about Bitcoin and its great advantages and potential over fiat then I think we can convince some of them to  try to use it because I personally think that lack awareness and know-how would discourage ordinary people to adopt it and its a huge challenge for us to persuade those skeptics to believe on this modern technological marvel.

Bitcoin is a currency, but don't expect ordinary people to use it as a tool to pay, everyone knows that the change in the price of Bitcoin is very scary, very fast and very unstable. our focus in the future is how to get people to use more stable coins (Stable Cryptocurrency) like EURS, USDT, GUSD, TUSD, and USDC which are very stable.

[loopes]

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.

For now, to find stores who accepting bitcoin is so hard. Shop like that is very rare. But it is not a problem because actually bitcoin is accepted by many big companies. The latest one of company who accept bitcoin is AVNET (U.S. Company), it is major enterprise in USA. make offline stores to accept bitcoin is so hard because the need fast velocity of monet to make their business keep running, those stores need supply from the supplier but most of supplier don't accept bitcoin. The most effective way is by legalization from the government.

Many Dapps solutions are being built right now to address liquidity issues that might arise with Bitcoin and other crypto transactions in order to protect the interest of both merchants and their customers. And with regards to the idea of stable coins to be utilized instead of Bitcoin, I think it will not have massive adoption since it has poor merchant adoption right now as compared to top cryptocurrencies and also, investors would want to invest in promising new crypto projects and not on stable coins which has limited or small ROI.

Well, before people starting using bitcoin as a currency we need first shops who accept bitcoin as a currency and put the price also in bitcoin, so we need more and more who will use bitcoin or we need people to use cards who can be loaded with bitcoin or with some app where we can store bitcoin and get card for payments.

[mrdeposit]

Just need time. Over time, Bitcoin will enter our daily lives and be the same currency as any other money.

Yes, time has a major role in this. There are very few people around us who do not already hear about btc. But, in order to build reliance in this issue, there is a need for continued development over time.

Bitcoin as a currency
_________________________________________
First things first , a currency needs to be :-
Stable
Widely acceptable

That means governments needs to actually allow it to be used so that there is no problem in the transactions from the government's side and also at the same time it shouldn't actually gain or loose a lot of price in a Short amount of time.

Bitcoins have problem with both of them but still at the same time you can actually do a lot of stuff with Bitcoins , buy a lunch and stuff like that.

It will be easier when these two requirements are met but you know it's not just a normal currency it's crypto-currency that means it is a store house of value and a investment at the same time , I think it's perfect the way it is right now .

Of course by showing how bitcoin works and how bitcoin can be used to pay, from there people will believe that bitcoin is a digital currency.
In its use, bitcoin is converted with the USD that applies at that time, so that between the consumer and the store there is a price agreement, so there is no difference that results in people not believing in bitcoin. Maybe one store with another store determines the bitcoin exchange rate is different, equal to the exchange rate of USD with Euros, Yen or others.

i think the reason that people do not like to use cryptocurrencies as a real currency is the volatility. the volatilities are so damn high and that is why normal people are scared to use it as a currency.

Besides needing time for the adaptation process, of course we need the adoption of all merchants to use bitcoin as payment,
without many merchants, of course users will not want to use bitcoin as currency and payment

At present, in some countries, bitcoin is still used to pay for some products purchasing services. In the future, when the value of BTC has been confirmed by half of the world's population, it will definitely be used to pay for items. because then, people will not be afraid that the price of bitcoin will fluctuate or be dumped.

[lobster88]

Well, we cannot force every individual to use crypto currencies as their payment method but we can tell them the facts and necessary information to encourage them to learn first and be curious about the Bitcoin, on how it will benefits us in the forth coming future. This is not easy because taking action with this matter takes a long time to conquer and make changes with the community.

I think we should focus on how to get people a knowledge about bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies, because we should not just make them use it as a currency without understanding how bitcoin can be used to be a medium of exchange and even the risk of using it. Here in my country bitcoin has been already legalized but the government still do not endorsing it to public to be used just like a legal tender due to its unstable price.

Right! People needs to be educated to all the aspects of Bitcoin like its core features and advantages over traditional payment methods so that they may be encouraged to try test it out and hopefully embraced it. I do think education is a crucial factor that will help it achieve massive adoption and enthusiasm.

We cannot hide the fact that Bitcoin is still unstable and not widely accepted around the world. Most people have been reluctant in using Bitcoin as a currency based on these facts. Despite this, Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency today. In order to solve these problems, Bitcoin's capacity needs to be improved, as well as, governments worldwide would need to accept Bitcoin as a legal form of payment. We already have the Lightning Network on the works, while governments are starting to accept and regulate Bitcoin more thoroughly.

Which means, that over time, more people will embrace Bitcoin as a currency for daily payments. Hence, all we need to do is to keep spreading the word about it for mass adoption to come into effect soon. Just my thoughts
