I always show people the things I bought with bitcoin. I can't wait to buy an entire car with bitcoin. How did you feel making your first transactions and what did you buy? Tell us more.

I love to shop at blind with crypto. It's so easy and quick. No problems with payments ever.

Yeah buying with bitcoin online is good people will be more aware and physical shops also they should start using it. If they use both the ways online and offline people will be soon aware of Bitcoin. And even ATMs also to be installed in all the countries.

But in my country Bitcoin is not acceptable. Hope in  coming years Bitcoin will be legalized and will accept bitcoin  all over the world.

I also really hope that it will be something we are waiting for / good news, that all online and offline stores can accept payments using digital currencies such as bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, to make it easier for their consumers.

Even though it is not easy to carry out with the licensing of buying and selling bitcoin for all people, surely in the coming years every country will be forced to legalize digital currency, with the progress of the digital era, we can see many companies that have used Blockchain Technology and without us knowing they entered slowly in each country, so it will not be punished again that in the future they will do that, in order to facilitate the country for their economic affairs ...

I would disagree with your statement because to hear about BTC and to know something specific about it is a big difference. If there is any truth in research that shows that less than 1% of the world's population owns/trades with crypto, we are still far from saying that most are familiar what is actually BTC.
Maybe it's quite different from what I intended to say, but most of the people are quite skeptical about what BTC can do, and just hearing about them with negative comments are having an impact. I do know that some of the people are not yet utilizing it, and we are just only a few in the world, right?

I personally bought a lot of things with BTC (TVs, smartphones, various gadgets), but I don't think it helped others to become aware of BTC.
It's weird to actually influence people with Bitcoin to buy stuff but not telling them how you obtained it in the first place unless you bought it early. Maybe at the point where you bought a lot of BTC as you said in the earlier time, it would amaze them, but now it's a risk to do. I have shared some things with other people that my gadgets were paid using BTC, and they are skeptical. That's just the reality we are in now.

I think buying actual goods with Bitcoin is a good way for people to see Bitcoin works and is a good way to earn and spend money online.
There are a lot of online stores that sell for Bitcoin now, and I bought many things with Bitcoin already, a few examples are:

My PC was my biggest purchase Smiley fully bought all the parts and payed with Bitcoin
Weed on the Darkweb once with Bitcoin to test it out, was pretty good and went well.
Different games for my pc.

I think Bitcoin is pretty valuable and it is dumb if you dont increase your stack again after you buy something with Bitcoin.
 
Well, sometimes everyone wants to use bitcoin, even some people have done business with it. it's just that, some stores like Steam close payments via bitcoin because the price is very unstable. however, I also want to spend this bitcoin and want to introduce it, it's just forbidden. so I only advertise it from places that I can reach.
You can use various platforms for its advertisements. Start from introducing it to your family and friend. If you are doing a job you can share the idea with your work partners. Different social media platforms that you are using you can daily advertise from there also. Beside that you can give someone the idea of investing through this market if he is planning to enter in business.
Whenever you go for buying something even at your local stores and you find out that this method of payment is accepted there, share the idea with others. This is the best alternative of all fiat currencies, no need to carry paper currency with you. Due to its lack of awareness in many places it Is not widely introduced in small local stores but you can give them the idea of its implementation. Wherever you find this ease share it among your fellows.

If you tell people that you bought stuff in the internet or even in a shop with Bitcoin, people will become aware of Bitcoin, more so if the stuff that you are showing them have value when you bought it with fiat money, what do you think about this?

It will have an impact to the one's who are also interested in spending bitcoin in online shops. Actually, if people will be aware that bitcoin is volatile, they will not spend it buying some stuffs. Thus, will just make it as a store value just like others are usually doing. But on the other hand, yes. People who do not know that such bitcoin exists will becone interested and aware on how to probably use it as digital payments.

I don't know, sorry I don't agree with this idea.  for now, the high price volatility of Btc makes it less effective as a price benchmark for products and services.  Remember the history of Pizza Day?  imagine how much pizza you get today if you use BTC when it is used to buy a pizza at that time?  so, maybe showing a good investment or trading portfolio development can provide a more effective one.

That’s not really necessary. When I talk to people about cryptocurrency almost everyone already knows about it and telling them that you purchased with Bitcoin is not going to make them interested in it. Those that even developed interest in Bitcoin didn’t do so because they heard that they can use it to purchase from stores, they only decided to buy Bitcoin because they saw the possibility of making profit from it.

Bitcoin is volatile, so how exactly do you except them to be funding their wallet without plans of making profit in return?

How this is going to work? Nowadays Bitcoin is used less as a currency or mode of payment, and used more as a speculative investment asset. How we can encourage people to spend their Bitcoins, when we ourselves are expecting that BTC will reach $100,000 or $250,000 within the next few years? Spending our coins means that we are expecting Bitcoin to go down in the market.

if many people know I can buy things with bitcoin, of course there will be special attention to it, so that it can make bitcoin more popular among the people. but in my country, bitcoin cannot be used as a transaction tool so when buying any item that uses bitcoin, it must first be exchanged for the currency that I use

Even without much of awareness bitcoin is much known by the people around the globe through the word of mouth spreading. The progress of bitcoin as a currency can be understood by the increase in the number of stores accepting bitcoin. Whenever a product or service is being bought with bitcoin or cryptocurrency surely it helps a little in the promotion of the same. So every user can also take initiative to spend bitcoin on buying goods.

I literally disagree with you in all the ways. Firstly,  Bitcoin has a positive impact in many domains even  online shops, so most of people are turning to Bitcoin as a solution to avoid  the high value of fees in FIAT.
In fact, we are supposed to spread the positive characteristics of Bitcoin and not the negative. I expect that BTC or cryptocurrencies in general will replace FIAT but after a long time. It depends on how the next events will affect ( after  launching the Libra coin for example ) I would guess.

Good idea.
Values  like "very attractive" things, I guess.
Well, people need to have strong reasons to use Bitcoin/crypto. I think these need to be part of the reasons:  sound/safe money, better security, gives you control over your money, transparency, better marketplace/stores, decentralized insurances, etc
it's a pretty nice idea if this is done in a larger scale, creating the impression that bitcoin is that big already and it also encourages them to use and think of bitcoin as a currency and not as a get rich scheme. In that way, people will at least have more trust in cryptocurrencies and not pull-out at the sight of a single dump. Hopefully this idea is executed by those who have bitcoin to spend with them.
Amazon is the biggest online brand that offers variety of products, it accepts cryptocurrency as the method of payment. In the modern era, everyone is so busy and people prefer online shopping than going themselves to the shops and buying the things. You can share your experience of buying online stuffs from this site using cryptocurrency this will promote Bitcoin and crypto market.
If the e-commerce will focus on accepting new payment system which is the bitcoin then it can create awareness to its customer. The e-commerce business is now business booming and its customers deserve faster payment system. Online shopping is more popular than before because customers can now easily buy the things that they want even if they are in home. The only problem is the poor transaction that cause by the poor payment system.

It is just like telling people that you can buy stuff online/anywhere using debit and credit card, although you can persuade them by telling them that you whatever or how much you're hodling is gonna be always there. There ain't no maintaining fees that could cause closure of your account because there is no such thing as an account in Bitcoin, unless you're using an online wallet which is highly discourage especially for the means of "hodling" . There ain't no strict requirements. Just you, your money and your device (whether it'd be mobile or desktop). This would, however, just increase the chance of persuading people to invest in Bitcoin, and not just merely being aware of it.

That can be a strategic way on how you can make people aware of bitcoin's existence but still you should find more effective way on dessiminating knowledge about it. You should find a proof like a receipt or anything that proves that you bought it with bitcoin so that they would believe and start patronizing bitcoin afterwards. Make sure you tell them the some basics about it before making them start investing on bitcoin.

Most of their reactions are usually shocked.

Even with the receipt to show them, they just cannot believe it.
There might be something good in it in the future.
Here will be the case after you tell them the story of buying something thru bitcoin.
1. They might research bitcoin and dig deep.
2. They will buy also just to try it out.
3. They will also tell it to their friends for a good story. Something to shock another friend and look at their faces with a WOW.

It will be passed on.

It will be good if it's just easy like that, but others are too suspicious that they tent to tailored negative news especially those who don't understand it and not able to buy at lower price then their investment is not getting profit. Though to those who are finding new innovation and convenient way in paying, telling how easy we are able to pay, or simply paying to someone who didn't know it yet will work to spread adoption.

Yeah, I know some of us here just don't want to talk about bitcoin to others. Security and privacy purposes.
But when you are an average guy whose salary is just enough and can still make a way to buy this kind of technology then it is something to boast to friends. Specially when there is liquor on the table.  Grin

The discussion will get deeper and I see that they still remember it after all the drunk conversation.  Grin
