It can only happen by awareness and we have to make awareness program so that people what is the bitcoin and cryptocurrency. if people know about it then they will come to this market diff finally and it is good investment policy for the future.
some people other country using bitcoin for received payment on their online good store. because he affraid use paypal got dispute when sending legit product not bad product. when digital goods sent and product correct, customer dispute payment and change pasword and detil goods. just tell people or customer to only pay bitcoin not other payment.
Bitcoin BTC can be a currency only if its price is stable.
Not only being stable in price is tha fact,centralization.If we were to publish bitcoin as a main currency we rather the government or someone needs to regulate bitcoins and tax people using bitcoins.Price is just a secondary concern for this.Even dollars price is not stable isnt it? 
By way of introducing it to them, you have to let them know it and give a knowledge to them, by means of giving them the information on how digital money works the way of using and spending it.It gives a very special way of no hustle transactions and a much better comfort for anyone who are using it.Simple as you are educating someone to give them the idea on how live to the modern technology were everyone is using it already.
Bitcoin can be used by people as a currency when people has know about this.
So , we must tell them firstly about this.

I think there is still long time for people to use BTC as a currency because as you already said, everyone consider it as an investment. So they prefer to hodl. I think these days no one would use it as currency. Everyone wants to earn more money. To be honest i can’t blame.
Yeah I agree with you still have long time for people to learn and use Bitcoin as currency. We all know that not all countries agree on the existence of the Bitcoin so lower class community knowledge is still very minimal against Bitcoin.

Young people usually loves to do something cool no matter what. If we can make bitcoin looks cool then it will be more popular among young people. Maybe if we make a YouTube video about the cool way to pay in restaurant which use bitcoin. What do you guys think about this?. I know bitcoin is not stable yet but if we can make more people to use bitcoin to buy goods then it will also help bitcoin price little bit more stable but still tends to rise.
Getting people to use bitcoins depends on crypto enthusiasts and how we advocate the easy, secured and fast making transactions with cryptocurrencies are. But what i see most crypto enthusiasts actually doing is holding their bitcoins as asset and cashing out into fiat currency. The only way we can get to use bitcoin as a currency is first of all we developing the attitude of spending it and also and also we having marketplaces which accept bitcoin as payment for goods.
it have to be completely legal in all countries for using bitcoin as a currency. If its not legal, you can use it really easy. Lots of countries have different laws about bitcoin. some of them have not any laws or regulation about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.
some people are looking at bitcoin as a monster. i think they are paranoiac. And many people standing distant with bitcoin. We can teach them the truth about bitcoin and its philosophy.
once they know the bitcoin and its philosophy. they will use it as a currency more and more.

A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly
from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
Even now a lot of people think that Bitcoin is a currency of the dark markets and scammers.
If only they will dig deeper and study what is bitcoin really, they will understand that it has more benefits in the legal side than the illegal side.Money or cash are also use for illegal activities, but we don't judge cash as dirty money, bitcoin has to be treated that way.
We, the Bitcoin users are aware if these facts.
But we need to understand that the knowledge about Bitcoin for the vast majority of the world population comes from the mainstream media. And some of these outlets (not all) have a habit of painting Bitcoin in a very negative light. If we want to counter this, we need to inform the people about the truth. But that is going to take a lot of effort and time.
Crypto must have a role from the government, I mean the government must support legalizing crypto and encourage people to use crypto. The role of the government here will be very large and very influential.
Well in our country, Bitcoin is legalized and they are supporting Bitcoin and crypto currencies. The problem here is that Bitcoin is still a new technology for some of the people here and they are scared of it because of the news of people getting scammed because of it. Yes it is true that they should know better but the thing is that, first impression is a very important. Whenever you say BTC, they will always relate it to scams.

Just need time. Over time, Bitcoin will enter our daily lives and be the same currency as any other money.
Yes, time has a major role in this. There are very few people around us who do not already hear about btc. But, in order to build reliance in this issue, there is a need for continued development over time.The stores from a small one to big one like malls should implement bitcoin as an option for payment and that will do for making people curious and interested about bitcoin and if they are curious enough then they will probably get into bitcoin and discover more advantages of bitcoin and that is when they will start using it as a currency and also as a store of value for their fiat currencies.
There are already businesses that are accepting bitcoin and crypto, but only few of them but the good news is that they are growing. Hopefully in the future bitcoin will be more popular as that would say we have growth in the market.
It's actually time to invest now, the price is quite cheap since users are still low compared to what it could possibly achieve overtime.

it is possible but it is hard without lightening network. Reasons:
small network size.
slow transaction speed
expensive transaction fees
high volatility.

Even now a lot of people think that Bitcoin is a currency of the dark markets and scammers. The mainstream media has improved its coverage of Bitcoin during the last few years, but even now you'll be able to find such articles once in a while. And secondly, in many of the territories, the governments have taken a very hostile view about Bitcoin. If these two issues can be resolved, then there will be a lot of progress in adoption.
Mostly here in the forum, bitcoin is the main currency that we use.
I dont think so, because there were a lot of people around here whos hodling. Using it as a currency means using Bitcoin to pay for transactions like buying or paying for service. As what I have noticed, Bitcoin is more of an investment than a currency.
yes, many are holding but you are even paid with btc with the signature you are wearing.
