When you are trying to move away from the dollar, then the best way to value bitcoin is through BTC itself and not vs the dollar. So regardless of the time or interval. 1 BTC is still 1 BTC. When you keep comparing Bitcoin value to the dollar for reference whenever you are buying or selling items, then it means you have not really moved away from the fiat currencies.

The easy way to see through is is to make the same analogy with the dollar.

It will be obvious what keeps your value safer and longer Grin

The biggest challenge is still price movement. Even if sending bitcoin becomes fast and cheap, people still notice when the value changes too much in a short time. That is why many people use bitcoin more for saving than for everyday buying. Some shops accept it, but they often check the price at the moment of payment so both sides stay fair.

Maybe later, if price becomes more stable, using bitcoin for daily payments will feel easier. For now it works better together with normal money than as a full replacement.

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.
