Bitcoin is mainly used as investment and it will remain like that, because its volatility discourage people from using Bitcoin for daily purchases, besides sellers also not feeling comfortable in adopting Bitcoin as payment method on their businesses.
Actually, the problem isn't even the customers not willing to pay with BTC, but the sellers not willing to accept Bitcoin as payment method. If there were more offers on the market to pay with BTC, slowly but surely we would see more and more customers using their coins for daily purchases, until they got used to that.
Exactly,that’s just the reality.Seller wouldn’t want to accept their payment in BTC because majority aren’t conversant with the system talk less of accepting it as a payment method.Majority of bitcoin enthusiasts are comfortable with holding their bitcoin because to them bitcoin is more of an investment vehicle than an asset used as a payment method,then while most users are just curious about making transactions with their bitcoin but due to the unwillingness of the sellers they haven’t explored that side of bitcoin.To me I prefer holding my bitcoin for the long term and continue using fiat for my day to day transactions.
