Sometimes I feel like BTC isn't good enough right now. Just by looking at it right now it's going down pretty fast.

Of course. Technically, that is the reason why I am here. Learning and studying bitcoin in my spare time also relaxes me. I love to think this one is going to be big.

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 how much would I save for doing that. And how much time I thought it would take me to do it.

There's no real reason for me, as a consumer, to buy bitcoin in order to pay with it. It's just too much hassle. However, as someone who bought in 2013, I'm happy to spend here and there.....

So far, only newegg and dell offering discount when paying in bitcoin. The offer is for limited time only.

But every time I buy a gift card on Gyft, I turn around and use the "points" I just earned to buy another gift card.

So far, only newegg and dell offering discount when paying in bitcoin. The offer is for limited time only. More stores will start doing the same. 5% discounts are quite viable, when you take into account Paypal/credit cards fees plus the risk of being scammed.

But every time I buy a gift card on Gyft, I turn around and use the "points" I just earned to buy another gift card. This discount on gyft comes out to ~4% after you factor in the points. The companies that gyft buys the gift cards from likely give them a similar discount in exchange for not paying via credit cards as the companies' credit card costs are about this much.

Just trying to play the devil's advocate - Most stores do not offer discounts when you pay with cash. So why would they offer discounts with bitcoins? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Cash costs money for a business to process, its possible bitcoin could be more efficient for them though Im not sure thats the case. Its no surprise tech companies are first to trial bitcoin as it garners alot of attention so they can divert some of the advertising budget it can be argued! Richard Branson didnt have to take bitcoin and Im not sure its an advantage for him really however think of his product in contrast and it totally makes sense. He wants to capture some of that spirit for customers to feel when buying into his project also. Its not finished, its very much a vision he is carrying out and very grand as is the concept of bitcoin and its usage. Neither product is absolutely essential, both are flights of fancy ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Bitcoin is not as widely accepted as it could be, so I guess some people would not bother to buy bitcoin just to get a discount. In fact buying bitcoin can kill the discount.

Yes of course. Most people are here for the promise of $1000/BTC. Most of them doesnt even spend their BTC.

Suppose a wife spends today 0.25 BTC for a pair of shoe, and after a few days the BTC value doubles or triples... The husband will kill her! 😁😁😁
