I'm sure bitcoin can be used as payment/currency for most internet connection without many obstacle.
But, to see bitcoin accepted by mainstream/common merchants, we have to work hard to promote bitcoin to mainstream user and make sure mass adoption happened someday. There's many obstacle such as unstable price, government regulation, what media say about bitcoin, ease of using bitcoin and many more.

Yeah and I think that it will not be an easy journey for bitcoin to overcome all this obstacles, it will face many challenges at every stage and it would be interesting to see how bitcoin performs in challenging stage.

Unfortunately I have no option to use bitcoin in real world because no other shop allow bitcoin, I mean no shop accept bitbitcoin here in my area, so I have only option to use in online platform like in trading site , in transaction with friends and clients.

If you can't spend it offline directly then you have a choice of exchanging it to fiat and spend anywhere you want, as fiat is accepted everywhere so your purpose of using bitcoins will be solved.

That depends on the market situation in the future, but I have confidence that things will be done by the BTC, as btc is a currency that could provide good services compared to other currencies

I agreed with you, aside from good services that bitcoin can give to everybody, Bitcoin can also give a confident to anyone to save money for their future. and nowadays, many company are becoming open into bitcoin and their doing feasibility about it.
I think if a lot of companies are beginning to accept bitcoin today. I think there are many people who have spent their bitcoin bitcoin? but I still see a lot of people sad because they can not be a variety of items with bitcoin. I think bitcoin have not been so accepted dude

Spending bitcoins is limited at a moment and you cannot buy majority of things with it, so the usage of bitcoin in everyday life is almost zero unless you spend them online.

What is your opinion: will btc become a currency with which you can pay in supermarkets, subways etc?
Or will it remain a crypto-currency used mostly in the Internet?

for future, i think bitcoin will become the most currency that can be used to pay in supermarkets, but its need a time to make it happen and there are need to get approvement from government, at least from big government for many country and then bitcoin can get accepted by more people.

without approvement from government, bitcoin can not be in offline life and there just small people using bitcoin, i mean not all every people in the city, but small community.

this will take time. probably more then we hope or even expect. but usually once you take a deeper look at bitcoin you see its improvements over fiat and would not mind becoming it the replacement for fiat. the more people thinks so the more likely this becomes. but we are still talking decades until it becomes mainstream and i can pay everywhere with it.

I believe this will happen in the future because day by day, more companies are accepting or using bitcoin as currency. Time will come when many people will be aware of it thereby an increase in its demand and when people see it that they can earn from it then they will use it. The drive to introduce bitcoin to the general public is not that intense yet and besides maybe for those people who knows it but didn't really understand the potential of bitcoin, they thought of it as a scam or use by criminals because that's what the media delivers to them and so that's their perception of it.

Of course this is only being used on the internet because bitcoin does really no exist at all it is all just a system but the thing there is if you connect it to FIAT then you can surely used it for purchases.

It might take a while but we will likely be able to use Bitcoin for most things at some point. The main hurdle before this happen is regulation. If Bitcoin is not properly regulated, it'll be very hard for it to reach a high enough level of adoption. Without the law, the masses don't have any protection if something goes wrong.

If that happens, that is sounds great actually! But nowadays I think its not time yet, it will be good only if the transaction is faster but if not the disadvantages will appear. So bitcoin reputation will be affect on it together the community too.

I'm hoping it can be used for everyday things in the future, and not just for buying things on the internet. So to get there, aside from bitcoin needing mass-adoption, another thing that has to be improved is, the need for confirmations and the varying transaction times. It could be ok when buying things on the net, we can wait, but when in the supermarket, the subway, etc, having to wait for the confirmations is a big hassle. Imagine paying for your groceries with bitcoin and the line forming behind you coz the cashier is still waiting for the confirmations for the transaction. Maybe there are already solutions to this 'time constraint', I don't know.

I can't say that I use Bitcoin every day.
In fact, since only a few merchants accepts bitcoin in my country and I don't have much possibilities to spend my bTC funds, I mostly keep my BTC funds in the wallet.
I really wish that day will come when i will be able to spend my bitcoins everywhere, offline or online Smiley
I use bitcoin for each day but instead of using bitcoin to shop. because it is still limited to stores that accept bitcoin, but I use bitcoin for trading, gambling, etc.
Not good to use our bitcoin to spend this days, it is better if we will just save it for the future and only spend an amount that you really need but put in mind that you need to save for the future.

in my opinion after some years the market of bitcoin will move in the practical shops also . it can be understand easily with the examples that many cafe and coffee shop accept bitcoin payment in UK .so soon it will also spread in the all other countries .

Hoping that will come true. Still it is hard to believe if you dont see one. It could expadnd the number of bitcoin users by doing that. They will be thinking what is this bitcoin that they accept. That also may be absorbed by other stores.
