We all want bitcoin to be globally adopted right, you want to be able to use your bitcoin as a currency to buy foodstuffs, goods or service in your local community then what are you doing to encourage that? No one here can tell me that he/she hasn't sold anything before, so you have no excuse of not accepting bitcoin in exchange for what you sold be it your books, gadget or anything salable expect you never knew of bitcoin then.
I walked into my barbers shop yesterday then notice something was different (i took a closer look at what was printed on the A4 paper pasted on the notice board and it reads "We now accept Bitcoin & ETH as payment options" it went on to explain that ETH will be accepted for the $2 and below fees and bitcoin accepted for fees above that. It gave me joy because I was the one who introduced him to bitcoin few years back. As an act of encouragement I have promise to promote his business both online and in popular blockchain related gathering I attend.
Few of my previously sold gadget monetary value were received in cryptocurrency and i have come to realize if we want the world to take us seriously we have to act ourselves so I'm encouraging the service providers and others we have on forum to start accepting bitcoin, charity begins at home.

The market is now continuing gaining more popularity and power because we users are now keep promoting it. There are now many investors who entering the market because they attracted to the high returns that they can get through investment. As a user, I keep promoting cryptocurrencies because for the people in my community to earn opportunities and benefits from it.

Market is in good condition as people are coming aware of bitcoins and institutions are also adapting it. The price is although still low. But instead of only looking at the price we should play our part and help to give awareness to bitcoin to our near and dear ones. As i know most of my friends and family are not aware of bitcoins, so if each of us can teach few other about bitcoins, we will collectively help bitcoin grow more.

By spreading information about Bitcoin, at least we have contributed to the development of crypto. And now there are so many people who continue to disseminate information about crypto either through the media or offline seminars.

There was no need for you to waste time with altcoins, bitcoin is becoming even better for business and small "Lightning" payments

There are definitely other factors at play here

And we have already seen them in action. People won't pay with Bitcoin for things you mention (like daily necessities or haircut), even if it would cost them nothing in terms of fees and time. But it doesn't mean either that Bitcoin will be useless and worthless. It will just turn into digital gold (it is not yet) but without gold's shortcomings and deficiencies. And this is where altcoins are going to pick up the lead as with Bitcoin being new gold (a store of value), using altcoins as change money would make perfect sense

I have actually bought things with bitcoin, just not daily needs directly. Indirectly by selling for fiat, yes. Once LN becomes universal in wallets, i see no reason not to pay little things directly as well, as long as the business accepts BTC. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, pay for things in satoshis, especially if as you say, the value of bitcoin will keep going up. Unlike gold that remains mostly fixed in place...

Gold itself used to be used for payment, but it got so expensive that it got tricky to pay small amounts with it. Bitcoin doesn't have that problem, not only has 8 decimals already, but can quickly be expanded into 16, should a time come where a single satoshi becomes too much money.

It is very commendable that there are more and more places where bitcoin is accepted. I think you're right. This is a small part of what we can do for bitcoin. If we tell people more about it, it will contribute to its development and soon we will be able to see a lot more places where they accept payment with cryptocurrency.

I think as many people and organizations as possible should start accepting bitcoins because it can really take their business to a new level. If I had my own business, I would definitely enter payment in cryptocurrency. It is very modern and promising.

It's so great that there are more and more people who even in their small business are not afraid to accept bitcoin as payment for their services. I hope this trend will spread around the world and then bitcoin adoption will happen much faster.

The demand of the people to bitcoin will grow more if we will spread our knowledge about the whole blockchain technology to other people. I am sure that they will also enter to the market if they fully understand what is for and how it works.

That's right with us spreading the word about bitcoin and the blockchain system so people will know its function and its use that can make many people adopt bitcoin

Social media is one of the efffective tools in spreading the news on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and I've been doing this since I started using bitcoin a couple of years ago. Some of my friends don't like the idea of a currency that can be use only when you are online but after they've their own research, they are now planning to buy bitcoins. They are many ways to the spread the use of bitcoin to speed up its adoption and it is up to the people to do their own.

- Agree that media is a useful tool that can help us spread crypto and bitcoin, encouraging people to use more bitcoin in life but with news like scams and losing money around bitcoin, our spread only has the opposite effect, it will make people think that we are scams and stay away from us. In addition, encouraging the use of bitcoin can make us face government and police when bitcoin is always an enemy of government, I think you should not continue to do this, it will put you in danger, what we should do is make money with bitcoin in silence, acceptance or disapproval of bitcoin, it is not so important

I agree to you that we should really do something if we want the bitcoin to be recognized as a currency by all of the people. We should help the bitcoin to become more popular for us to earn more benefits. The value of the bitcoin will increase more if more people will patronize bitcoin.

Hold bitcoin for long term is also a support for bitcoin. When more people hold bitcoin then bitcoin price will tend to rise then it will makes people's desire to own bitcoin increase. Finally more people will adopt bitcoin as medium of exchange because they want to like bitcoin users who improve their prosperity. But we can do more by create online shop which accept bitcoin.

I agree with your assertion here , but the issue here is that not many here are into business or provides services and so they will not be able to have a massive reach. I think the best way to increase the adoption rate of cryptocurrency is improving on the various key technologies of the blockchain in order to extend value to the everyday activities of the public.

If only one person moves, there will be no effect. The step we have to do is to grow our awareness to unite in fighting for the adoption of bitcoin

You are correct, many in crypto wait for mass adoption to come while thy sit on their asses doing nothing. What I have notice in crypto is that there is the belief that always someone else has to do the job. And it is because of someone else that we are not rich yet. This has to stop. People in crypto should at least promote crypto to outsiders.

I would love to encourage people to accept cryptos as a payment option, but if I try to do it, I will be arrested by Police because bitcoin or any other cryptos are notified illegal tender in my country. Can you do something about it? No!

Don't just blame the community! Try to know why they are not able to help in the adoption process! Majority of them are legally bound like me!

Legal clarification is a major issue when it comes to bitcoin adoption, majority of the countries have not done anything to have some clarity to use it as a legal tender, with due time we will see majority of the companies adopting bitcoin for trade and the ease with which you can trade internationally is the best aspect of crypto currency.
