Topic: Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange - page 3. (Read 10616 times)
Majority of bitcoin users take bitcoin as an additional source of income this is why instead of an investment they use bitcoin to finance their expenses. I think only few members of the community are collecting every bitcoin they earn and keep it as a savings or investment. Bitcoin helps a lot of people so we cannot blame them if they used bitcoin as a medium of exchange rather than investment
At the same time, I do not see bitcoin as money personally, I see it primarily as an investment or as a way to send money quickly around the world.
Obviously, and you should not forget about those people who are only using bitcoin as fast rich scheme, or those who are begging for money in order to make some easy bucks, i am tired of them.
I dont know, bitcoin has many functionalities and specially for the poorest ones.

Yes maybe bitcoin can ve effectively use as a medium of exchange but the problem is not in all places bitcoin is accepted and worst not in all places bitcoin in knowm by people. Adoption first, then acceptance especially by the government.
Only requires knowledge and a high curiosity to know.
I could not forget those golden days before two years when i used it for sending my income from abroad at a much cheaper rate and transaction being confirmed immediately.Otherwise,i would have to wait for two days by paying high fee in a money exchange.
Are you from a third world country? If so, then that would probably explain why you struggle with the higher fees. If not, then I don't see a problem in using a $10 fee to move a salary from one place to another. Also, back in the days you could basically get first block confirmations even without a fee at all, but there has never been a time where transactions confirmed immediately. In some cases you're lucky and you'll get quick confirmations, but you might also end up having to wait 30-40 minutes for a block to come through, and that isn't tied to whatever fee at all. Luck plays an important factor too when it comes to getting quick confirmations.

Actually,it was created for the purpose of being used as a currency and it also served well too.I could not forget those golden days before two years when i used it for sending my income from abroad at a much cheaper rate and transaction being confirmed immediately.Otherwise,i would have to wait for two days by paying high fee in a money exchange.Every thing was going well and price increased slowly and we being bitcoin holders loved it.We don't this type of price hike increasing from $5,000 to $20,000 and falling suddenly falling back below $14,000.Also,the very high transaction fee which could not be digested nowadays.The only possible thing remaining is that we could expect lightning network to get activated soon.

You are so right!
Mass medias actually present bitcoin as an unreliable currency, mostly used by drug dealers and porn users (I merely exagerate what they say). It is not. Most people that have invested long ago are sticking with bitcoin because they believe in its power.
And I am one of them. Bitcoin may allow us to get rid of banks over the long term but even at short-term, we can make changes in society! That's why this tool is so much more than just an algorythm and that's why I don't want it to die!

Since I came to know about cryptocurrencies I come to understand that bitcoin was actually discovered in other for us to change from the traditional ways of using money to a more degital ways. I am surprised that no mainstream online shop has used bitcoin as a medium of exchange for goods and services why we keep on saying bitcoin is going to replace fiat in future and we all see bitcoin as a future of money. Using bitcoin like stocks or commodities kills it original idea of using bitcoin as a medium of exchange for goods and services or measures of value!
You are right mate currently we don’t have any online shop that accepts bitcoin as a medium of exchange but your grievance is going to an end soon in 2018. Amazon has already announced it that they are working on their system to accept bitcoin as a medium of exchange which will most probably be ready in the early months of 2018. Cheers, I hope this will encourage all the supporters of bitcoin where they could prove it to say that it is a perfect medium of exchange.

I would say that was more true in the past that is why you saw people exchanging tens of thousands of bitcoin for pizza or stuff like that but as bitcoin has grown in value things have changed and the amount of bitcoin moving has gone down however the value those bitcoin carries has gone up, but as things stand today bitcoin is not a very good currency and steps need to be taken to change this situation as soon as possible.

Yup that is exactly how the bitcoin was made to function but now it has been taken to an entirely different route by people and that should be no surprise either. We are in a bubble now it seems only question is when will it burst and how big will bitcoin retrace. I hope it happens soon because I want bitcoin to function as a medium of exchange not an investment vehicle.

You are right that many true bitcoin enthusiasts do that but I don't think that there is too many of them about, most bitcoin owners now are just guys and girls who want to gain FIAT by holding their bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital currency system and it's a online transaction process ,the rate of bitcoin is very high and it varying daily ,the today rate of bitcoin is $18700 and it increased in future and due to rate increased so the exchange of bitcoin is some what low previously.But as of now the the exchange was very high as compared to other.Not only the girls will hold the bitcoin,all the people need money will hold.
You speak of the increasing value and that is exactly why many people are in to bitcoin who don't really care whatsoever about its uses or value. When something grows like bitcoin has it will always attract such people. In time they will be shaken off and bitcoin can move towards being used as OP suggested.
Bitcoin is used as medium of exchange? I think there's no wrong with that since bitcoiner are used bitcoin in trading. I guess using bitcoin as medium of exchange is good to us because increasing of profit will become easy to us.
In addition since from the start bitcoin was used as instrument of exchange, because bitcoin can't used if we can't change it into our own currency.
