I have a Dream...

[fullhdpixel]

Thought you were singing with the title lol.

It is a wishful thinking and he will have more than just a song when his dream becomes reality, imagine we have thousands of merchants implementing bitcoin as payment method, which would mean a whole lot of very high increase for the value of bitcoin because there would be so much demand for it.

I am sure that as we advance in the use of bitcoin, there is going to be a day that many merchants including the grocery stores will all have bitcoin as a payment option, and that would be an eye opener to for those who are not familiar with the payment system, because what they would just like to know is how to use it, and we need more users of bitcoin than investors, there is going to be more demand of bitcoin from users than investors that just buy to keep the coin in their wallet.

Its nice to see that altcoins are also being accepted along with Bitcoins at various retail counters. As we all know Bitcoin is already being accepted by many business organizations in the world but now altcoins are also there in the que its indeed a overwhelming news Most of the altcoins are struggling fo their survival in the market after bear run in 2018 so its the need of the time to get them a push. If market start accepting altcoins for goods then altcoins will also be back on the track.

This will dream of yours will surely come to reality anytime soon, we just have to be optimistic and positive thinkers to make this into a reality since crypto currencies are now widely accepted of most countries. No doubt we all be seeing more of this in some stores worldwide.

One day, I'll be able to buy daily groceries on OpenBazaar using Lightning Network.

Looks like the first step has been taken at Farmer's Market, University District, Seattle right now...



Another step has been taken at Spar Supermarket in Arnhem city, Netherlands. You can buy groceries and pay in Bitcoin over Lightning Network...

This is great stuff but you know I have only one dream right now * to somehow make cryptocurrencies legal in whole globe*
To make it a * global currency*
To let people use it freely , without going underground that's how they won't be doing bad business without the eyes of the government.
Government can regulate but don't ban it .
I have a dream that we also have a law firm to stand up against those government bodies that tag bitcoins *fishy* *unpredictable* *spam* * bad for the society* .
Only If people could be more open minded.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin will do better as an asset class than a currency IMHO.

This is  truly Satoshi vision everything else is not,  We  have  waiting this movement for every long.  I believe  very  soon a lot of people will start accepting bitcoin as  payment method in their small businesses like this.  When we get more  merchant  to  start accepting BTC the price will be quit  stable.   

[Ibizugbe1]

I believe this dream will happen in no distance time, with the daily level of discuss about cryptocurrency and nations planning on having having their digital coins. I see a mass adoption soon.

All we have dreams, but unfortunately most often they so and remain dreams

Maybe in some countries it will happen, but what about others?
Actually I also want the same as you. Pay for something purchased with crypto, because it's easier and more efficient. But in some countries, it's against the rules because the government doesn't want it. But I hope that a big change will happen and the government changes their perception of crypto.

It will happen, but it takes time to be achieved. If some countries will adopt it, more other countries will also do the same. Thats how business works, if they think that it will contribute to the growth of their country, they will accept even if they made a statement before for not accepting bitcoin whatever happens. Visualize the great things that might happen, do not look for the negative things.

This thread will become historical in the future when your dreams come true. the like of this thread is like that of Pizza thread. this will be the first picture of the community's first accepting bitcoin public market. more and more people are going to accept are beloved cryptocurrency. and later on, not only in the public market but also in some other shops too. in its first 10 years, we are now far from what we are expected. next 10 years will also be on the next stage.

This thread will become historical in the future when your dreams come true.

based on what i read , the op's dream are already fullfiled . you didnt read carefull what he said right ? take a close look on the second pharagraph under the pic .  this kind of dreams or events are i think only normal and not to be consider as historical just because his dreams came . even before , lots of people are now expecting for this to happen .

the like of this thread is like that of Pizza thread.

the thread here is only postet this year compare to the pizza guy that happened a long time ago.  if we were on his situation i think we will do the same because we wont know what future holds on bitcoin .

[doomistake]

I hope you guys know that you are just repeating the history, that man who paid a lot of bitcoin in just one slice of pizza. Let me elaborate my opinion about this. If there is a store selling burger that cost 0.0005 Bitcoin (let's say the price of bitcoin that day was $9,000) and you bought it using bitcoin, the other day the price of bitcoin changed to $9500, you just lost $.25 in one burger, what more if you are going to use cryptocurrency on buying things that could be bought by fiat just to say "Hey I have bitcoin" in a way.

This is what we called wants and needs, our "wants" must be in fiat, and our "needs" must be in cryptocurrency.

That is the risk of using cryptocurrency when the time comes, the reason why crypto cant easily legalize or to be used in our daily life. Its price is not stable, it can be changed every second depends on the flow of the market.
It would be hard to adopt and it takes a lot of time before they can think of a solution for every risk we have, before we can finally use bitcoin in our daily life.

I am very inspired by the photo above, which implies the Lightning Network is mostly used for small or micro transactions that have a low risk. Large transfers that require decentralized security are more likely to be done on the original layer.

[Wintersoldier]

As far as I observed, more and more establishments, groceries and business are opening their line with cryptocurrency. In our town, we have convenience stores, before, they only accepts payment for bitcoin in terms of cashing in to wallet address of the customers. Months later, I think the owner of the convenience store noticed that there's a huge volume of people cashing in, and that might be the reason why they opened up their store to accept currency especially bitcoin.

[Xxmodded]

I support your dream will building lightening network using bitcoin as payment, you have keep build first and have much money to start it. Don't worry about your dreaming because is come true just work hard and take profit with bitcoin and save it for getting your dreaming build lightening network at the future.

[blckhawk]

You're dream is what most of us also dream. However, if price fluctuates too much, it may not be a viable option for businesses to use as a medium of payment. They might gain or lose money if they don't adjust prices accordingly to bitcoin's price. But setting aside that negative aspect, it's good for businesses because payments don't go through a mediary and thus cut off extra fees, but if government saw this early on, they might impose restriction, altering what cryptocurrency is supposed to be, a decentralized system held by no one.

In fact, it is all our dream bro, having bitcoin and being free to spend it daily without the hassle of cashing it out first before you can enjoy some drinks, meals with your own bitcoin. I'm sure there are a lot of merchants that are accepting bitcoin now they are just not well known for sure but there will be a time that we will be able to spend our bitcoin freely from day to day to pay services we use/buy every single day of our life.

Now too we've got more stores accepting bitcoin, just there is some delay in confirmation. Sometimes the transaction requires increased fee. With the lightening network things were getting better. Now bitcoin is much preferred as investment and for trading needs. People haven't started much to spend bitcoin on daily needs and for shopping. Hope the dream will come true, but not immediately.
