Bitcoin adoption: Don't just sit down, do something

[naufals4]

yes I agree with your statement, many out there people just stay quiet but want the price of bitcoin to always be high and keep rising. so if you want bitcoin to remain stable and keep rising you should often promote bitcoin to others.

[Ruffian1314]

I strongly agree to this because we need to act now to make the cryptocurrency adopted all over the world so that we can now fully use crypto everywhere and anywhere. Only crypto people can make this hapoen due its decentralization who doesnt have any central agency that runs it.

There are some small store in some community who will accept bitcoin and ethereum because of the price is really low now.
BUt i hope they will keep accepting the coins even at the top of its price and when the market is falling.
we need more support from many community to keep the coins uptrend and stronger.

good idea for cryptocurrency crowds to know about this crypto but will not prevent it from the government if they know that it's using cryptocurrency. it's a fun feeling to talk about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency especially if they know crypto and you'll get ideas about it.

[avarnet]

Many people are already using bitcoin and eth but the majority are still seeing it as a store of value. Unless this changes then the numbers of transactions will probably stay low for some time to come.

indeed it's true because by storing them they can get the benefits they want, so most of them now are holding rather than making transactions

Truly bitcoin have had a massive progress for the passed ten years, but there are still more to do, the adoption of bitcoin is the main challenge facing this currency, many prefer local currency than bitcoin when it comes to trade, simply because, many traders in some country don't know about bitcoin, some are not interested at all,due to the level of their knowledge, and it's the high time to have some group and their job is to interact with these people in their local languages,to enlightened the about what bitcoin is all about.

When we have to decide to become a bitcoin investors don't get into this quickly because when you entered into field you cannot get out this field for a long time because it is made up like that so you can do something for the development of the cryptocurrency every day it will be buying selling exchanging and much more to do for the journey of development.

"... What is Bitcoin’s value backed by?

Bitcoin is valued for the things it can be exchanged to, just like all the traditional paper currencies are.

When the first user publicly announces that he will make a pizza for anyone who gives him enough Bitcoins, then he can use Bitcoins as payment to some extent - as much as people want pizza and trust his announcement. A pizza-eating hairdresser who trusts him as a friend might then announce that she starts accepting Bitcoins as payment for fancy haircuts, and the value of the Bitcoin would be higher - now it would be backed by pizzas ''and'' haircuts. When Bitcoins have become accepted widely enough, he could retire from his pizza business and still be able to use his Bitcoin-savings.

Currently, Bitcoin is in beta development stage, and some new features need to be implemented before the system is well suited for real use. The system already works on the basic level, though, and you can trade with it if you want to. ..."

It's quite true that we have to start the change ourselves. Once we start to accept cryptocurrency and the market grows then adoption of cryptocurrency will grow enormously.
If I had a restaurant or a store I would definitely have accepted BTC and ETH as payment options. I would also have promoted it online.
This is how bitcoin will grow in the future if bitcoin supporters encourage on using BTC as payment method. I believe this will happen some day or the other.

most of the people in this world don't know about what is cryptocurrency so don't think all the words talk about cryptocurrency just do your work and learn by yourself then educated others what is the cryptocurrency and why we need it which will include the number of people using that cryptocurrencies.

This is precisely what i believe is stopping the wide adoption of Bitcoin besides probably volatility.

People seeing it as a payment method will start to ask questions not only to themselves but to others and talk about it more. Also the ones who already know the currency as a mean of payment could have an easier life using them.

Another interesting aspect is that getting paid in Bitcoin after transforming from the fiat currency the company uses would be a lot easier.

Yes, that's the best options to do while we're still not having more demands nowadays with bitcoin and other crypto coins. Sharing the ideas how crypto works in our lives can help spreading good news, and don't ever be discourage even if other individuals was having negative perceptions against btc. We can't blame those people, because they've been feed by fake news and fuds.

[kr105]

I agree with those comments saying that the community getting bigger and stronger day by day and we will surely have more impact in future. Also it’s weird to me that there is still alot of people out there who have no idea about what the cryptocurrency is. I know the impact is kinda small but i think we can at least try to do something to spread some awareness about bitcoin.

[abstractednerve]

We all want bitcoin to be globally adopted right, you want to be able to use your bitcoin as a currency to buy foodstuffs, goods or service in your local community then what are you doing to encourage that?

I would love to encourage people to accept cryptos as a payment option, but if I try to do it, I will be arrested by Police because bitcoin or any other cryptos are notified illegal tender in my country. Can you do something about it? No!

Don't just blame the community! Try to know why they are not able to help in the adoption process! Majority of them are legally bound like me!

Yes, Crypto is illegal in our country too. We can't talk about crypto in public! Though the government hasn't banned yet but they discouraged dealing cryptocurrency and talking openly! We use "botoch" word to describe bitcoin in public, So, how can we encourage people to spread and involve into it? So, in our country, every crypto people are bounded!

you need to create a messaging group and invite your friends or other people within your country  . talk about btc adoption and make your own plan  . if all your groupmates agree then thats the time to make a real organization . make some shirts and banners about btc and why it must be adopted .  final step is to rally in front of the governments office so that they will hear your voice and opinions  . thats effective though , you better try it  out .

To increase the popularity of bitcoin throughout the world, we must use bitcoin for trade and investment.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that in the future will definitely increase its use, so propaganda about bitcoin should never stop.
Of course, by playing an active role the profits will be even greater, along with the increasing price of bitcoin.

We all want bitcoin to be globally adopted right, you want to be able to use your bitcoin as a currency to buy foodstuffs, goods or service in your local community then what are you doing to encourage that? No one here can tell me that he/she hasn't sold anything before, so you have no excuse of not accepting bitcoin in exchange for what you sold be it your books, gadget or anything salable expect you never knew of bitcoin then.
I walked into my barbers shop yesterday then notice something was different (i took a closer look at what was printed on the A4 paper pasted on the notice board and it reads "We now accept Bitcoin & ETH as payment options" it went on to explain that ETH will be accepted for the $2 and below fees and bitcoin accepted for fees above that. It gave me joy because I was the one who introduced him to bitcoin few years back. As an act of encouragement I have promise to promote his business both online and in popular blockchain related gathering I attend.
Few of my previously sold gadget monetary value were received in cryptocurrency and i have come to realize if we want the world to take us seriously we have to act ourselves so I'm encouraging the service providers and others we have on forum to start accepting bitcoin, charity begins at home.  

Both ETH and BTC have huge fees from time to time and I can't in good faith recommend them to anyone.
I made the mistake of recommending BCH to merchants, but the hash war destroyed its stability, too.

but that is the reality, everyone already knows that not only is Bitcoin present in digital currency, there are others, bitcoin must think hard to get back up. don't just rely on the market.

[jtrapirap]

In our country crypto has been quite fully adopted as i have found out lately that in my near locality, there is a gas station that already accepts Bitcoin as a payment option. Thus, i am quite optimistic about the future of crypto here in our country. I do always promote through social media thru my friends & acquintances about cryptocurrency and sometimes they do ask me how to earn money through this new technology and i am always open to give advises to them as well.

[Lumi3004]

I once suggested to people and entrepreneurs in my country, to adopt Bitcoin and Ethereum as a payment system in the company, in every payment transaction with crypto, it's already been running and some are still in the stage of further development. and there are still many who are doubtful because this year's crypto is not improving so hopefully crypto will be better in the future. That's what I can work on crypto.

Now it's time to use bitcoin to trade or travel to a country that legalizes bitcoin, so the bitcoin movement gets faster.
If all bitcoin users use it simultaneously I'm sure the price of bitcoin will go up, because the issue in the bitcoin market will be positive and more and more buyers of bitcoin. The more you buy, the price will definitely go up.
