Topic: How much closer is Bitcoin to being mainstream? - page 4. (Read 1235 times)
Bitcoin is far from the mainstream. It took a long time to make bitcoin into mainstream in my country. I measure it by looking at people who are not currently using bitcoins.
Press releases are raising extremely. More and more people are hearing about BTC, Ethereum etc. I think we are on a good way. But it is still a long way to go.
Far.
I am a bitcoin enthusiast but this is true. A freind of mine which is not into bitcoin, recently visited japan (which should be the bitcoin friendliest country) and had not the slightest contact with it.
To go mainstream we need old powerful people to retire. So my guess maby 10 to 15 years if it still exists then (I hope so).

Bitcoin is already mainstream. Big media platforms are writing articles about it. Also when you look the unconfirmed transactions, the amount increases every second. It passed PayPal's marketcap a couple of weeks ago. PayPal is quite mainstream, even my mother knows it.
uhhh i don't think so. mainstream means a dominant trend to the point that it'll become a basic knowledge that almost all people knows. as i see bitcoin now, its not even close
to that. the trick is to pay attention in your surrondings? Have you asked your peers if they know bitcoin? i bet odds are low to that. Is it easy to look for merchants who accepts
it? no because they are very scarce as of now. Although having said that, bitcoin is growing constantly and the odds of having it mainstream is not low
I don't know a specific gauge but I think bitcoin will be considered mainstream if it will be available for almost all basic services as a mode of payment or some side street food that you can purchase through bitcoins.

For now we can not see it because it is too complicated for them who does not have any technical knowledge and for a lazy person,
It will be mainstream when everything is ready and fully operated,for now we can heard about Bitcoin ATM and only in some country implement that,we need to successfully implement it first and then slowly planting it around the world.it should be take a years to fo this,but at least we should understand that Bitcoin still has a lot of room to grow.
We need to make something more easier and other people can start to learn it,and we need to fix the problem about transaction fees and else to gain more momentum.
That was the best statement to describe it all

What exactly is the threshold for Bitcoin be considered mainstream?
With a few millions of bitcoin users it is far from being mainstream, anyway.
I think the biggest obstacle for mainstrain adoption is the difficulty to get mainstream adoption is the difficulty to invest with fair rates.Most of the exchanges are without proper regulations.
Also have full responsibility for their money isn't for everyone.

How much closer is Bitcoin to being mainstream, and how do you gauge that? I noticed more ATMs in recent years, but other that haven't seen too many other signs.
