Bitcoin is tagged with white coins which can be legally circulated, black coins which are rejected by the network due to that they are from hacking or stealing. Then there is no security issue with bitcoin.
Not sure how I would define a killer app but for me, something useful, convenient plus having user-friendly features would be nice. For example if the app can show me which location within my vicinity where there are stores accepting bitcoin or something that integrates online shopping sites, bitcoin exchangers, everything all into one.
Local banks even adopt btc and treat bitcoin as fiat. Ppl can deposit and withdraw btc from the bank account digitally.
bitcoin on its own is the killer app. the only thing missing is the fact that it is not yet mass adopted. so the killer app or anything you want to call it is something that can make this come true.
some event, news or whatever which makes bitcoin be used everywhere as an alternative payment method.

killer app is a great shops like ebay or amazon that supports bitcoin.
I think we can safely say that's not the case going on current examples. I suppose the definition of killer app would be something that makes someone say 'holy shit. I GOT to get me some of this Bitcoin stuff. It can do something nothing else can'. You can already use your conventional money just fine with merchants.
Bitcoin is already killer in so many ways, why does there always have to be some magical future app that makes bitcoin finally "successful"?
Exactly this! We don't need THE killer application. Bitcoin is the killer application by itself. We need to keep developing this technology and make it possible to use in many ways and then let the markets and customers decide what's appropriate use case for them.
Will this be remittances? Or will they use it as a commodity to save part of their fortunes. Will they use it for regular day to day payments or for its semi anonymity purposes. It's up to consumers to decide.
Full Confirmation (full node supporting) via Mobile Devices.
SPV clients on the mobile are too risky to use.

What is your vision of this killer app?
In my vision the killer app consists of trowing some of bitcoin's anonymity options out the door. Purely based on choice. You can register with an layer build on top of Ethereum, which tracks and saves it for anyone to check. Every address you make from that account will be registered to you. That way people can find eachother easy. The masses dont want to donwload a client, donwload a blockchain read into tech shizzle and such. They want to log in and transfer funds to someone they know. Much like a banking apps nowadays. Also this killer app directly has to deliver a significant amount of bitcoin or any crypto for that matter in order to motivate people to actually try it. So not pennies, but tens of dollars at least
Most important of all, this all needs to be done with a few clicks, not that people need to download whole blockchains and such
The killer app is the wallet. Putting an interface between fiat and BTC just feeds the thought process that 1 BTC == $x.00 USD - just a commodity.
The POS (point of sale) is the killer app; use BTC like you would paper bills, coins, credit cards. It's got to be a currency to succeed, not a function /conversion of a fiat currency.
I'm not into bitcoin to get rich (if I do, all the better), but to make an attempt to overtake government-issued currency. If they control your money, they control you. The "land of the free..." is the biggest load of shit ever.

i didn't understand you
what do you mean by "Killer" app?

like whatsapp for messenger, it was something really apprecciated by many, this make it a killer application
there are many other example in the social environment
A killer APP in my opinion should be something where people adopt Bitcoin just to use that specific application or service. They did not use Bitcoin before, but that APP enabled them to use it now. In a sense, that was what happened with BackPage.com when other payment processors stopped supporting it as a payment method.
A killer APP must be something that spark mainstream interest and are the only payment method or tool to use this APP or service.

IMO bitcoin will be the king of currency if the transaction speed is as fast as doge coin, like 1 minutes block time, that will be awesome, sometimes I send bitcoin and wait for 30 minutes to get 1 confirmation, it is sucks, and 0 confirmation payment would be risky.
What is everyone's definition of 'killer app'?
The thing that compels millions of people to get involved? Unless it's some type of absolute no brainer I don't think it'll ever be one single thing. There needs to be cumulative progress in all areas - education, accessibility, utility.

I think he means that by "killer" he means revolutionary or beneficial to the bitcoin community in general. Kind of like how "sick" means "cool"... again I'm just assuming here.
Phishead, the best app I can think of is a Pscyho Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Whatever it is the road will be it's end, it's end is the road...so they say.
WOAAAH possum... great idea!
but what is this graphic translation you speak of?
Hopefully we can find a dev for this new idea, but as for me I'm going to stick to science... I felt that I could help
the killer app is going to be a big business or services like Amazon, Ebay, Steam,.... and a lot of other big online shops to start accepting bitcoin as an additional payment method.
they automatically bitcoin would grow and become more and more popular with more people using it.

I think a "killer app" will be something that allows you to make payment through bitcoin without even you knowing that bitcoin is being used at all. Something like today's internet which you don't even know what it is but you are using it!
