Topic: Do most bitcoin users actually think.. - page 3. (Read 3557 times)
The simplest transaction occurs face-to-face where one person physically hands another person some money in exchange for something else. In the absence of electricity and connected devices there is no (easy) way to do face-to-face bitcoin transactions. Online transactions are just virtual representations of the simple transaction. Most people do not want to clutter their daily lives with exchange rates and multiple currencies. Since they will always need to have currency for the simple face-to-face transactions, and they can use the same currency for online transactions, there is very good motivation to stick to that currency. Aside from some evangelical bitcoiners, people will continue to use fiat currencies as their base of operation AND their frame of reference until bitcoins can be made to work for those simple real-world transactions.
Do most bitcoin users actually think that bitcoin is going to 'replace other currency, ATMs on every street corner', etc. at some point in the future? Is such a future actually necessary for bitcoin's continued success or maintainance?
I personally think that such a view is not realistic, but I like bitcoin because I believe in the concept, so I will continue to use bitcoin on some occasions. Is the view I mentioned the general consensus of users that use bitcoin, or just the opinion on a few of what COULD happen? Just want to know people's thoughts..

It could replace paypal. That makes it interesting enough. Plus, it's minable, which is amazing.
Not saying that it's not useful. But sometimes I see some posts that are like, everyone is going to stop using the dollar and move to bitcoins! I don't really see a majority of the population giving up on fiat.
as web game developer i'm not going to use anything else than bitcoin ever. I dont want to waste my time with banks or other money processors if i can handle money transfers by myself. And do it better, cheaper and faster.
