Nah I don't think so it's not easy as people think, in several parts of the world bitcoin is being banned as a means of payment due to the government's regulation. On the other hand, if you ask those who don't know about bitcoin in the first place it might be hard though, moreover, bitcoin has so many competitors and that makes bitcoin not easily to be accepted as a payment method.

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?

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.

Your idea is good but I think it is only beneficial for people who have no idea about Bitcoin.

Wait, what???

How come it is beneficial if they don't know about how bitcoin works, don't you think that it is so unfortunate for them, because clearly, they are wasting their profits without them knowing, we should feel bad for them. It will only become beneficial for them if they will do it the opposite way of what they do, instead of spending it to random things, like foods, they will save it and wait 'till they could sell it in a high price then cash it out, and then buy whatever they want.

While this is a great idea to help increase awareness of cryptocurrencies and their uses, and it is the best way for individuals to do their share with helping in the adoption of cryptocurrencies but it is going to take a bigger initiative in order to convert more people into believing in cryptocurrency. Many don't see a problem with just using their simple and easy to use fiat currencies.
   Unless a major celebrity or political influencer heralds the usage of and pro adoption of cryptocurrencies, the average Joe will continue to be dependent upon the fiat currencies and will never give cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin a fair shot.

It's a good way to spread bitcoin to those people that didn't know yet the use and existence of bitcoin. By showing them the stuff that you have bought and telling them that you just bought it using bitcoin, I am pretty sure that they will be curious about it.

And their curiosity will be our ace to make the people become aware about bitcoin and a good way to spread the usage of bitcoin around the globe. It's a small marketing technique but I am sure that it will surely help bitcoin to raise it's demand and price.

Most people are already aware of bitcoin. The problem is their trust and understanding. I don't think a lot of people would change their mind just by you showing what you bought through it. I think major companies and governments should acknowledge it to build people's confidence. It's going to take a little more time before the majority accepts bitcoin's positive nature more than it's minuses.

Majority of Governments are not very much in favour of bitcoins and other crypto that's why companies are not adopting these crypto. Right now people who are outside crypto community know that bitcoin is currency of dark web only.
What can we expect on people these days? they don't open their minds on it's potentialities and it's because they don't have enough understanding. Some of them chooses to judge and underestimate it's capabilities without even searching for it's real and specific purpose. It's the reason why it will be difficult to gain the trust of people when it comes to bitcoin and no matter what you do, if they chooses to disregard it then they will definitely don't understand even if you have tried to explain things. It depends on the person itself, people will surely grab the opportunity if it seems to be beneficial but once they have seen it's negative side then they will hesitate and doubt it.
It's better to let bitcoin grow and develop by itself because to explain that bitcoin is good for them and not as easy as it says, and I'm sure over time they will realize that bitcoin can change their lives better and make things easier, safer and more comfortable and especially bitcoin can be used as an alternative payment and in the end everyone wants to be involved in bitcoin.

your idea is good enough to make many people aware of bitcoin, but I would rather save it than use it to buy things out there using bitcoin, to be honest in my country for bitcoin users are not prohibited from storing bitcoin but it is prohibited when using bitcoin to pay for something in my country , so I can't buy anything in my country with bitcoin, except to buy internet packages on my cellphone and domains for some of my business websites

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.

You own the pen
This idea is not bad, as we can see, mostly, people only know if you bought something, they thought that you bought it with fiat money. But if you tell them in another way like you just said with Bitcoin, some people that not use to buy with it will be curious and begin to search for some information about bitcoins. this is a good idea man, simple ideas like this will spread the awareness of buying products using our beloved bitcoin.

I am not always telling other people about buying stuff on the internet with bitcoin, but sometimes I bought stuff in the online store with transferring the money to that store. People here buy much stuff in the online store, but they still use local currency to pay. The online store is not yet integrated its payment system using crypto, but I think if crypto becomes popular, the online store will use crypto.

I think it's pointless.Nowadays most people shop on the internet,so they have credit/debit cards and paypal.What's the point for them to buy bitcoin just to use it to buy some item online.They can use debit/credit cards or paypal and it's still way more convenient (and they have buyer protection included).

Yeah the problem is there are only a few shops that accept payments with bitcoin, maybe in some countries there are already stores that you mean but some of them don't exist like in my country. Maybe it's possible if I buy it at a store abroad, but I very rarely shop abroad when it's cheaper in the country. Adoption must be evenly distributed not only for customers but also for business actors, because the main flow is in business actors in the introduction of bitcoin.

Implicitly, you tell us that we need to spend our bitcoin to prove other people that bitcoin has value.
Adoption of bitcoin as a currency is difficult when people do nothing but hodling their bitcoin.
It’s a contradictive when people want the adoption goes well to fuel up the price, but in the same time they hodl their bitcoin because they believe that the price will be high in the future.


this isnt for the hodlers but its for the people that only enjoys to use bitcoin as a currency  .

these people dont care about hodling   .

 this greatly applies to them   .  also this hodlers sell but then they buy again or they buy again more bitcoins even if they havent sell yet but they only do this for preparaton in the hopes that they can earn more  .

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

Those who do not know about Bitcoin will definitely be amazed because you have acquired the item without paying any fiat money.  Then they will definitely get interested but later found out that they have to buy Bitcoin and undergo trouble setting up a wallet and securing it.  Though it is a great way of promoting Bitcoin I think ordinary people that don't want to get out of their comfort zone will just ignore it.

Yaps, you're right, and people will think that it's easy to make bitcoin. however, because of this, many people are deceived. sometimes, some people find it easy to make bitcoin, so many people offer trading, investment and other HYIP services to attract investors and deceive them. however, after showing that, you need to explain to them what bitcoin is, because sometimes they will find ways to follow the path you take even if it is dangerous.

You can bring any stuff using bitcoin or fiat, as long they know the stuff is legal and can share I think people will happy and not worry. People aware with bitcoin because they don't know about bitcoin and only know the negative side, has no regulation/ protection and maybe their country reject it. This should be your chance to introduce and explain about bitcoin, you already get their attention and now show them how to get it.
