BTCBTCBTC won't be mass adopted unless it fix its issues with fees, which as we see is still not plausible at this point.

One point that people are not considering is the zeros in bitcoin.

You cant expect the average Joe to use a coin that is show with lots of zeros to the left. He will screw it, because its confusing.

At the first the stores will have to change the unit to mBTC while marketing its products, and also in the way it is show in screens while doing payments. If the price of BTC increases to six figures, then switch it to satoshis, or sBTC. This will made it easy to use.

In order for bitcoin to hit levels of $250,000+...... it will need to be accepted and marketed everywhere. So far, Microsoft accepts bitcoin. This could be the ice breaker and the door opener for other companies such as Apple, Sony, Google, etc down the road, eventually leading to retailers such as Walmart and franchise such as Mcdonalds.

In order for bitcoin to take off to levels that seem ridiculous right now, we will need to see the average Joe not only be holding bitcoin..... but also be spending it. (In this case, $250,000 could possibly be severely underestimated)

The network can't cope with more than 250,000 transactions per 24 hour period.

That was why some developers got fed-up and forked the chain to create bitcoincash, which has 8 mg blocks. If adoption as a currency happens, it won't be on bitcoin - it will be on the other chains, bitcoincash, ether, doge, litecoin etc.

Unlike the tech giants and whatnot bitcoin is different. It is decentralized.

Which means that the technology will probably not evolve that much at all. Rather, what has to change is the community itself. All we really need is bitcoin to have more acceptance in society in the form of merchants and whatnot, and the rest will sort itself out.

Stability will come with more merchants accepting btc, which is a plus. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a clear correlation between the amount of merchants around the world accepting btc and the btc price was found in the long run.

There is no next level.
Core coin does not scale beyond this point.
Bitcoin (cash) is where the future is at.

The only real requirement is that the fiat printing presses continue humming along.

I understand that there seems to be an impatient with many people as to the progress of Bitcoin in hitting the mainstream. Personally, I don't see the reasons why we have to rush things. Remember that compared to other currencies and assets, Bitcoin is still so new as it has not yet even approach a decade. Let's allow time to do its work and let's wait for some more years because it is impossible to be forcing anybody or any organization to also adopt Bitcoin. And you can not blame people if they are holding on to their Bitcoin because just like here in my country it is not really that very easy to buy one so we make sure that we hold on to them as much as possible. Bitcoin has become a speculator's toy meaning to say that we are all expecting that it will really rise to the moon soon...and that is why we are not spending our Bitcoin.

From my perspective, bitcoin is becoming slowly recognised worldwide. Most countries are starting to use bitcoin as a payment tool and in this way it's becoming popular each and everyday. Bitcoin has the potential to reach those levels, if not now but at a later stage.

the important thing to ask is how many people are actually using that option. it doesn't matter if Microsoft accepts bitcoin, if people start using bitcoin and they increase their sales through it, then automatically everyone else will jump at the chance to add bitcoin without hesitation. but so far most people prefer hodling their coins. and as an investment we can see price is still going up too. and it does it fast!

besides Microsoft is not exactly having the big bitcoin sign on their entrance. it is mostly a hidden away thing where you can add funds to your account using this in a weird way in my opinion. it is not like Steam which you can just see bitcoin right beside other payments options like credit card.

It doesn't have to be marketed every where, we just need a tad more than 5 times the amount of demand we have now to push the price up to $25,000.

Of course more press, marketing, presence, would help. But the best way to get that is for each of us to share Bitcoin with the people we know. We need people to realize that Bitcoin isn't a fad, it isn't a techy novelty, it's real...it has real benefit...it has real staying power. It's not going anywhere. And it's a great alternative option to existing investments.

Yes mass adoption is needed to bitcoins hitting next level and mass adoption is just one factors, the important factors on bitcoins is the bitcoin's network its self, we still must pay fees sending transaction and it is big problem to be currency especially for small amount of transaction (couples cent in bitcoins) and the time of confirmation is the problem too for bitcoins to be currency and hitting next level.
