What if Bitcoin never becomes everyday money?

[BitBakerr1]

Yes bitcoin was actually created for the use of payments of goods and services based on the information available but we have seen how over time, people have started to evolve and it is now seen as a hedge against inflation does not means people found another strong use case for it. This is how most new technologies grow. It does not really matter what people are using it for currently, being it for payments or for store of value for a long term savings, it does not matter. What matters the most is we are using bitcoin and it is adding up to the popularity of the coin, its value and its longevity. It is already obvious bitcoin has come to stay and will remain like this.

Bitcoin could have several uses but as long as there are people who regard it as poison or even worthless, Bitcoin will remain that thing that has come to upset the balance of the fiat and that means it can't be trusted. I have the belief that Bitcoin will expand more than it is now over the years but this thought might not be shared by the next person so that's it. The op fears that Bitcoin may never be everyday money but the question to ask is "will it achieve the aim for which it was created?" Yes it will. It has and is still working towards being much essential since it's creation.

I believe bitcoin will get more better as time goes on in the future, the purpose which bitcoin was created is being achieved gradually and as time goes on, it will be fully achieved. It’s a matter of time one thing I have come to understand about bitcoin over the year is that as time goes on, it keeps becoming better a lot of people have not started using bitcoin and as time goes on more people will start using bitcoin, a time will come when bitcoin will be used in daily transactions however it is still impossible now because a lot of people see bitcoin as an investment for me I cannot use bitcoin for daily transactions because I use bitcoin for investment, I accumulate and hold for long-term in order to take profit, and I’m sure that a lot of people are doing the same thing. People usually don’t like touching their bitcoin and they do everything possible to make sure they don’t touch it.

Not working. Your quote times out before the payment goes through.

Digibyte does it faster. You try ETC with 3000 confirmations required? Kitchen duty.. Making pancakes vanilla style.

Perhaps i speak politics at a party.. Going. Reminds me. I got a ghana letter asking for an apology somewhere.

As you said, most people now consider it an investment, including you and me, and we are all happy with that. On what basis do you believe this will change in the future and that people will use bitcoin for everyday payments?
Even you yourself would not want to use and spend your bitcoin. Do not expect everyone to do that.

Honestly, I do not see any chance that Bitcoin will be used as a currency or an everyday method of payment in the future. There are too many obstacles to make that a reality.

Although, some people argue that, Bitcoin didn't achieve it goal. while others argue otherwise, that Bitcoin adopted to what the world actually needed, feel free to give your two cents on this discussion.

Unfortunately Satoshi Nakamoto had already disappeared without a word and left no trace, that's the problem, maybe I'm sure that Satoshi Nakamoto is still here today, I'm sure Bitcoin wasn't what it is today, the concept he built of a peer-to-peer electronic money system which like you said might come true.

That's the basis that currently no one controls Bitcoin permanently, so Bitcoin will run according to the mainstream of its users, if they take Bitcoin into investment, trading and so on Bitcoin will run according to the wishes of users, but if the user takes it to the path of a daily currency system it will also work, unfortunately this is difficult to happen, in general humans are greedy, the desire for profit and the desire to have excess wealth cannot be stopped.

Satoshi Nakamoto actually announced that before he disappeared.

I wish you wouldn’t keep talking about me as a mysterious shadowy
figure, the press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe
instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to
your dev contributors; it helps motivate them.

I’ve moved on to other things and will probably be unavailable. Here’s
the CAlert key and broadcast code in case you need it. You should
probably give it to at least one or two other people. There are a few
long time users who are always around all the time.

Trace, there is but likely deleted by Satoshi Nakamoto

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

Points that you made about change of Bitcoin as form of cash to form of digital gold truly show situation in business. You are correct in that it is hard to use high price swings which rise 10 percent in week in shop without fearing yearly value loss. Although I agree with your point that people would rather keep it, I would like to tell that it is not your fault but it is the natural money reaction in holding on to item that is increasing in value and paying bills using weaker normal money. I think that bitcoin has not been fail, it just went through growth path of gold, which used to be ordinary coin but nowadays it is strong way to see family rich in future.

I dont know what country you are from or what problems you have been having with the bank. But honestly, neither I nor my friend and family have ever encountered any problem throughout our years of using the bank. Even the transaction fees are not as high as you say. They charge an annual service fee, but in return, most domestic transactions are completely free, even if you make thousands of transactions every day. Are Bitcoin transactions free?

Nonsense, nothing with the bank is free. If you don't see where the costs come from, that is an issue with your intellect and knowledge and not proof of absence of fees. You are the product. Everything is fine until one day it is not, then you will whine and cry and complain to everyone from your friends, over to the government and lastly to God when it is your own idiocy that got you in trouble. Countless people have lost a lot of money this way. You must be one of those people that would prefer not to do maintenance on your car, because everything seems fine so what could possibly go wrong?  

We need to be realistic that we are attracted to Bitcoin because of its profit potential, not because of free storage, fast transaction,...

Nonsense, that is your greed and false understanding of Bitcoin. The profit potential of Bitcoin is one of the least interesting aspects of it.

Here in my country, banks charge card maintenance fee monthly, they charge service fee monthly and they also charge a small fee at every transaction made whether locally or internationally and they also charge stamp duty fee when you exceed a specified amount. It's so terrible because if you sum up those charges together, it can reach a reasonable amount annually. Of course, bitcoin transactions are not free but it's only when you perform a transaction that you get charged unlike the bank. Fine, you said that your bank charges service fee annually, does bitcoin charge you a service fee annually for holding? understand the point am trying to make.

The other guy is an idiot, on top of the examples that you have mentioned there are all kinds of hidden fees and risky money making activities. They are investing and lending out your money in all sorts of things, and if it blows up really bad you will be the one losing out in the end. You have to pay monthly to keep an account open in which your money is no longer your own (it is an IOU, which is not the same as ownership of money) and they make money using your own money on top of that. It is a ridiculously stupid scam for the most laziest and dumbest humans to be happy that they can tap fucking cards on a terminal.  

Not working. Your quote times out before the payment goes through.

Never happened, except where the implementation of the software was terrible or the user was an idiot.

Digibyte does it faster. You try ETC with 3000 confirmations required? Kitchen duty.. Making pancakes vanilla style.

Digibyte is an useless and failed shitcoin, keep deluding yourself that your shitcoin scam will make you rich one day.
