Bitcoin- in bullish time
September 07, 2017, 07:54:50 AM
I think it would be through advertisement. Maybe we could advertise Bitcoin and address it to the people through television commercials, radio commercials, billboards, flyers etc. Through this, people will be curious and will research on about it.

Advertisement will be a big help but if we will look back at the beginnings of bitcoin. There's no advertisement, it's all about internet and it's great future. But at this moment, advertisements will be a very good way to push the usage of bitcoin especially if someone influential will try to say good things about bitcoin and attracts people to use it.
Since we are in the digital age and bitcoin is a digital currency, might as well make use of the power of digital media. Everybody something goes viral and gets shared a thousand times. An ad about bitcoin, something interesting, could go viral if done creatively. But the question is who would take the lead in coming up with such an ad. Local exchanges are doing their thing with promos here and there but that is a small step towards more recognition of bitcoin.

Social media's are very powerful in our times, when something gets popular everyone will be on it. Like facebook's popularity, I've seen videos of bitcoin spread on the network and there are so many people that are asking about it. There's no need to take the lead about advertisement as everyone of us can do it alone by sharing our thoughts or sharing videos about btc.
Social media will be a great way or bridge for bitcoin to connect to the people who are not aware of what is bitcoin because if we are going to observe on what is currently happening in the social media, we can see that it is very easy for the people to share some thoughts and the video or pictures that they like and if we are going to use it for bitcoin then popularity of bitcoin can grow in a huge numbers.

I agree with you, we are not suppose to just hold, because if BTC wants a future, it needs practical value, and can't just be used for trade. The thing is, that I think bitcoin utility will come on a natural way as the coin gets some more development. As soon as the Lightning Network gets implemented, I think the utility of BTC will just grow exponentially. They will be able to compete with paypal, mastercard and visa, in terms of transaction speed, so yes, they can be used for normal grocery buys after that (I heard UBER will accept BTC in a near future).

For me, if the high transaction fees and block size debate is solved, more and more people will go to bitcoin for whatever purpose they want to. We don't need to actually promote it. It will fly by itself. Right now, a lot of people don't know about it, but for me I don't insist on it. Let them know it by themselves and I'm pretty sure they will go back to me to ask more questions about bitcoin. Let bitcoin promote itself.
Just imagine if the transactions would be developed enough just to deal with more faster and reliable transaction in the future. Because now we could used Bitcoin as a form of crypto-currency that we could used in transactions and if problems or we can consider as bugs our fixed , it may result for Bitcoin development and decentralization making people choose Bitcoin as a mode of transactions.
First definition of Bitcoin is a tool for helps us create transaction between countries easier than other gates like Bank, WU, PayPal ... Just by the value make Bitcoin today like stock and almost transactions use for purpose trading, investment.

For now, we are still in the step of introducing Bitcoin. This is an important step because when majority of the people are now using Bitcoin, we can now use Bitcoin as transactions to every day transaction as simple as buying food, paying for the fare and many more. But for now, Bitcoin should be advertised through different ways. It is now time for people to realize the big opportunity of Bitcoin and how it can give high Return on Equity.

I think that the only way to make people feel more confortable using bitcoin is just by promoting it, doesnt matter where, but it has to be more pushed and promoted on the TV, mass social media websites, like facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
That is the only way to make it more popular/useful. And this is far the best option that i can suggest for it.
Promoting bitcoin can make it more popular but it is not going to make it more useful, that needs to come from the devs and the recent upgrades to bitcoin have that aim in mind, especially the lighting network that will augment the capacity of handling transactions from 2 transactions per second to millions of transactions per second when that happens bitcoin is going to be ready for the adoption we have been waiting for.
when a btc user starts to do actual business that accepts btc then little by little it can ba acquired and tried by many btc users and will soon be in numbers of those who accepts btc as payment in their business. It should be wtart by those who know the power of btc.

I think the best way to push the actual usage of Bitcoin is by establishing a lot of Bitcoin merchants or compelling merchants of various goods and services to accept Bitcoin. Secondly, it's imperative for us to solve all issues associated with the Bitcoin network so that there will be faster confirmation and somewhat low transaction fees so that it will come in handy when making smaller transactions.
There are many people like, not only students have that problem but housewives as well, a housewife cannot get a regular job because she takes care of the kids and the house but with bitcoin she can make some additional income from her home on her free time, and this also applies to a person with a disability, there is a lot of discrimination out there, but bitcoin does not discriminate, as long as you can do the job you get the earnings.
We can definitely push the actual use of bitcoins in our respective societies by spreading awareness about bitcoins. We can start campaigns that will spread knowledge about bitcoins. Besides we can begin charity at our homes by teaching our closed ones about bitcoins via videos and examples of new millionaires that have been evolved by the courtesy of bitcoins.

We can by spreading and explaining for those people who really interested to know on how it works in our society.

There is no need of a pushing, let it grow on the gradual manner as it's now. If this needs to be promoted already several advertising might have been done, but in reality the growth is enormous and trustful through word of mouth rather than other means of promotion.
I agreed in what you just said, Bitcoin became popular without this things but because people discovered its benefits and features bitcoin has been spread out the whole world through their experiences they've shared to their friends and others. And look what happen now into bitcoin is very well known and popular in terms of the internet.

Bitcoin will be what it is. It does not need to be pushed in order to become famous and be accepted in the society. Eventually it will happen. Let's just do our part in this bitcoin community. People would come to realize even the large organizations and government how important bitcoin is.

Some countries are actually starting to regulate it and then later on, many others will follow. It's a step by step process and then eventually, we will notice that even the small stores will start accepting it as mode of exchange but then the issue with transaction fees should be solve first cause people who just live day to day to eat cannot afford to use it and then maybe bitcoin would just be a store of value for those who can afford it and not as a currency if fees can't be reduced.

I and many others just hold their bitcoins and wait till it gets worth more. But that is not how a currency should work. A currency is meant to be used in daily trades for groceries and so on.

My question is how can we push the actual use of the bitcoin and what is nessacary to do that ?

I think first, we should wait till the scaling problem is hopefully solved in near future, because right now even if I had f.e. a grocery store, I would not accept Bitcoin as payment becasue of the confirmation time of the tx (I would hand out some coupons which can be bought for BTC)

After this problem is solved this would be my ideas, I hope you help me gather more:

  • Convince organisations like amnesty international to accept bitcoin as donations
  • Convince big internet companies like amazon to accept payments via bitcoin, this should take a while but with some petitions they might consider it (propably better starting with some smaller companies)
  • Start accepting bitcoins yourself, not only on the interent but for example if you are a student and do some private tutoring, and have a small ad for you on a blackboard somewhere, you could print a "Bitcoin accepted" on it.

I think you should focus more on HOW CAN YOU PUSH YOURSELF TO PROOFREAD YOUR SENTENCES BEFORE POSTING THEM?
nessacary?
propably?

As for me, you should not think on pushing it's actual use when it is not yet ready, as per the current environment of the market bitcoin cannot be used on how you think it should work, bitcoin was created for anonymity but if you really want to mainstream bitcoin then you should do the advertisement, i do love bitcoin in a mainstream environment but i still want bitcoin to be used as a anonymous way of paying fees.

I just wondering what is the actual use of Bitcoin? I do not think that people can see the actual usage of bitcoin. Besides the good technology and the source of income, I do not see bitcoin can be used as other things too. Well, may be something like gambling or spend bitcoin to have some fun will be an exception. So what is the real purpose to use this bitcoin then?
i think that it is very clear that what is the actual use of bitcoin. in fact the actual use of bitcoin is to use if for shopping online as well to use it for shopping in our local shops, i think the use of bitcoin as currency for online shopping is increasing from time to time while in some places people are even able to use bitcoin for shopping in their local shops, in fact the shopkeepers there are also aware about the importance of bitcoin and therefore they are accepting bitcoin for shopping in their offline shops.

Bitcoin is almost famous now all over the world.Till now,no one has pushed it to get this much popular.People have got attracted by it due to its high increase in price and low transaction fee.The only thing we have to solve is high transaction fee due to which transactions got stuck.Segwit has been activated to solve this issue and once it gets completely locked in,transaction fee would get reduced.Another thing which could be done is to explain to our friends and relatives about bitcoin.
I must say that this is what the real beauty of Bitcoin is, you need not to push anyone for this. It is more like that honeypot towards which everyone gets attracted. All you need to do is to let that individual know about this thing and that’s all. He will get into this business by himself as he would seeing a very bright future by getting into it.

Crypto programming have been widely used to secure the army secreats and other essentials by many governments first must understand these being in the bitcointalk forum. You will get a help from the here itself if you require more information to learn what are all the usages and potential about btc.
dyspepsia involves the use of Bitcoin to pay various bills, as well as paying a lot of sleep. That's just the everyday use in any store of such an opportunity I do not see, Although if something to buy online in an online store, it's quite another matter and Bitcoin here may be useful.

You are right. We all should start teaching people about bitcoins from our closed ones. We should talk in detail with our friends and family about bitcoins so that they can also enjoy the matchless advantages of the bitcoins. Bitcoins have been changing lives of man since their creation and we need to teach them this thing only.
