its not easy to make people use BTC.  we normally don't use anything that's something we don't know. There has to have some learning to make people think its safe because the media already made a noise about BTC being related to scams, terrorism and fraud. I think one reason that may force people to use btc is if there is a legal entity that will recommend it or banks can first introduce XRP and then BTC follows.
Even if crypto or bitcoin is advertised by banks, I still do not think people will use it as currency because that's not a habit for them, they do not know too much about bitcoin and the use of bitcoin would be an inconvenience. People still prefer to use traditional currencies, bitcoin is still a stranger and does not create persuasiveness for everyone and the government, want to use popular and as a currency, I can only say is impossible now, even in the future, become the currency is inconsistent with its features

maybe with a lot of information about bitcoin circulating in several media and teaching will make many people try to use bitcoin and want to try to accept transactions using bitcoin for payment on their platform.

How can we get people to use bitcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to get cash as a lot of people seem to do? When I say currency, I mean the literal definition of currency as something that is used as a medium of exchange.
Even online, there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.
As of this moment there is a quite stores (physical and online) that has a method for cryptocurrency or just bitcoin. We cannot really force people to use cryptocurrency as a means of payment of every transaction, it is only applicable for those who has a wide perception for the future not with pessimists about the technology capabilities.
People who loves to explore and willing to adopt new innovations are those who we can convince to use this new system, we can't force anyone to believe with something that we understand, they have different interpretations and own assessment, what we've seen can't be enough to convince others, we can help them to understand and show them how things works but still it is there position how to adopt and analyze things about this new digital currency.

Bitcoin BTC can be a currency only if its price is stable.
and that won't happen. bitcoin is a decentralized currency in which no one controls it in the market and everyone who is called an investor makes the pump or dump itself. the situation will continue with efforts to make profit, and bitcoin will not be stable.
It is not right, I don’t believe that. Bitcoin price can be controlled although it is decentralized. This is a business and till date government has nothing to do with bitcoin but in the future when they realize that bitcoin is the only choice for the people all over the world they will definitely allow bitcoin and thus bitcoin will become the global currency. Price has nothing to do with this.

So many people already use bitcoins in the virtual world and in the real world, just bitcoin hands are currently tied until the governments legalizes it, then it will be possible to talk about other possibilities when this happens. It is certain that this moment should sometime come.

As a currency, crypto has been accepted onlibe. As viable payment for internet services and premium content viewing. I've seen only a handful of businesses accepting crypto currency in the real world, ranging from clothes to food. But these businesses are very strict about the amount of stuff you have to pay for.
Yeah, the fact is that if we can at least get to see more merchants accepting bitcoin as a payment method, we will obviously get to see people using it. However, unless we do not want to be realistic, on a larger scale this is something that would be pretty hard to achieve at the moment, comparing the fact that the market is still highly volatile and probably when we get to see some huge level of mainstream adoption, less volatility and probably some bigger moneys kicking in and the market getting more matured, absolutely, real life usage on its own, will most definitely kick in all by its own, but I believe it is all a gradual process.

Not quite. Even though bitcoin's price become stable, it might still not be enough for people to start using bitcoin. It could drive businesses to accept bitcoins as an alternative payment option, but it doesn't guarantee that people will start using it. It still depends on the people whether they would want to get into crypto or not.

If we prove to people that it is a great tool, reliable, and more advantageous than paper money, then people will use it more. We also need to take measures to prevent bad behaviors in the use of bitcoins for malicious purposes such as: tax evasion, money laundering, etc.

But it's still very limited to using bitcoin as a currency, you're still having trouble finding a seller who accepts payment with bitcoin
right? if bitcoin is like a fiat can be used anywhere, I'm sure many people will use it as a currency
especially in my country, where there is no legality for bitcoin, there was once in several cities in my country, but it was dislowed because it is illegal. and until now it is still difficult to use it

Let's accept the fact that Bitcoin will never be used as a currency just like we use paper money, Bitcoin is just like an asset that we can hold for a long term to have a good profit but not as a payment method due to unstable value in the market many people didn't use this as a currency. Besides, it is used in trading in the market cap, or just storing in long run and wait to have a profit, that's what Bitcoin meant for.

for now I think it is very difficult to introduce bitcoin to ordinary people, and moreover in my country because crypto currencies have not been legalized my government in the country so of course the cryptocurrency interests and beliefs in my country are still seen with one eye maybe if the state has legalized it would be very easy in investing

We can make people to start using bitcoin by we ourself start using it as a mode of payment for good and services as this is the major ways people will adopt it.  Bitcoin is the money of the future and we just need to tell people this.
well, we can't force it, because using bitcoin as a payment tool is an awareness that we can benefit by using bitcoin as a payment tool. well, for now, there have been so many trades that use bitcoin for its marketing tools, because bitcoin can be used as an investment tool, like gold.

One of the ways to get the public's attention on Bitcoin is to start asking for making payments in Bitcoin in every shop we buy items from. With this, the attention of these shops, companies or businesses will be drawn to Bitcoin and consider integrating it into their payment.

The OP answered thier question. People could use crypto currency as a currency if they could exchange it for somethin that they coyld actually use and not just investments, premium content or other internet services. I mean we saw before that a guy bought pizza for 10K BTC. Those kinds of transactions are what we need to get people on crypto currency.

fastest way is having shop owner to set up crypto payment service. like normal payment. people will start to get curious when its available anywhere. when its become a norm, the trend will start.

Convincing people is not an easy task, but showing them how we really use it will have them interested to participate and adopt the chain. We needed to change their perspective that it's not only for investment but it can also be used in our daily activities. For now, as our society relies mostly on computers and internet, so we should as well start diverting our money to cryptocurrency.
