My question is if u see something u would like to buy and this item is offered at a lower price if paid using bitcoins, providing that you don't already have a wallet or coins would you take the time to set up a wallet and buy bitcoins just to be able to receive a discount on the item u wish to purchase?
I believed atm most people would not bother and pay full price,
WHY IS THIS SO?

It depends on the price of the item. Let's say I saw a $10 mouse pad at a 20% discount. As a guy with no bitcoins I wouldn't even bother to register on some exchange. On the other hand you can buy a car with BTC, e.g. Tesla, in such case getting into BTC is worth it.

I sometimes pay a premium if I can pay in bitcoin. My privacy is worth something. I rarely use anything except bitcoin for online purchases anymore. So for me the question is "Would I use a bank card if they offered a steep discount?"
Maybe, but it has to be a good deal.

Yes, but we need easy to use ATMs, not like those first generation Robocoin machines, that required you to scan your hand for like a minute before it allowed you to actually do anything. |

This is pretty much how I feel as well. For items that give enough value to take the time to get BTC, it is well worth it. For example, if I can save $50 off something by spending 10 minutes dealing with Bitcoin, it's a definite yes. |

The question wasn't in relation to paying with Bitcoin if you already had it, it's about obtaining Bitcoin so you can pay for something. |

WHY IS THIS SO?
The main obstacle right now is the pain-in-the-ass factor of exchanges (identity verification and bank account transfers--ugh!). Right now the answer to your question is no. If Circle can deliver on its promise to provide instant Bitcoin purchases via credit card, I would say yes. |
ACCOUNT RECOVERED 4/27/2020. Account was previously hacked sometime in 2017. Posts between 12/31/2016 and 4/27/2020 are NOT LEGITIMATE.

Even discounts on items would go a long way. |

Coinbase can do instant purchases but you have to go through quite a bit of identity verification and add a credit card as a backup. |

Trust is the issue. And people do not change unless he has to. |

Would I? Yes... this is a bitcoin forum, I think everyone here would...
Would other people? Probably not. Think of it like this, would you buy African Dollars that fluctuate in price to pay for something for what seems to be a cheaper price?

+1 To maintain my privacy, I have even gone as far as creating a fake Amazon account with a mail drop address and funding my purchases with Amazon Gyft cards paid with BTC. |
