Bitcoin is accepted at some online portals as a payment option where it has a legal status but it will be a long journey for bitcoin acceptance as payment everywhere as many countries still not allow bitcoin transactions in their countries but it can happen after some years from now.

it's really practical to be using a bitcoin, as well as I am not my full day without bitcoin so it means that anywhere you bring a bitcoin, i really proud of it. online seller and like coin.ph no matter where you go with bitcoin, you can immediately buy a good payment for everything you want to buy by online.

how much, it is only a matter of time, because now is a trial period of cryptocurrency adoption in daily activities. in my country there is a token that functions as a discount for payments at hypermart and the like and still works well

practically using the blockchain payment method there is no limit in the transaction and is fast in receipt. of course bitcoin has a value that is not static tends to be expensive, because every store that receives bitcoin payments they give a fairly expensive price

I would say that it can be a good payment method since like any other internet based payment method, it can be really convenient since today's era is so much inclined with the use of the internet. Online payments, these days, are very much widely accepted, and since cryptocurrency is one of those available options, people would soon enough accept it if it will be introduced properly for the people to totally embrace. However, the main challenge is the availability of the coins that are willing to be accepted by people.

in my area I don't find so many practical ways of using bitcoin in my daily life, nevertheless there are a few online services/shops/persons that are accepting bitcoin and the number is increasing...
What I think mostly everyone does is having an account that allows you to deposit bitcoin and convert it to fiat, directly (linking an exchange account with your fiat bank account), or using a card from the company that supplies the service, and the availability of the card, depends on the country you are in

Not only in your area, my friend. I think, the number of the sites and the places where you can use Bitcoin to buy or sell something is not great. But in time, everything will change.

There are not so many options with products and services where you can pay with a bitcoin. The selection is getting wider every day but at the moment it is not really a comfortable method of payment for me. It needs more time to expand.

Bitcoin as a payment service in practical is simply possible. This is all through the adoption that is happening all around as well the user friendly applications that are getting into usage. Initially people will feel some difficulty in using the services, which further let's them use it same as that of using PayPal and other services.
Until now, Bitcoin's use of payment is more to the upper middle class who better understand digital technology, and do not want their identity to be known publicly. Because bitcoin ownership is anonymous, making some people like it rather than payment using fiat money. What makes it practical is the peer to peer system, direct transactions even between countries.

I think not only for the upper middle class, this is only a part for people who are interested in knowing what bitcoin is, even the lower classes can use bitcoin as long as they are able and understand to use it, I think it is easy and suitable for current economic progress.

I think that it is not very popular as a means of payment, but there is such a practice. There are a number of places where bitcoin payment is accepted and everyone can take advantage of it.

It is not popular as the payment system now. When several years pass, and having Bitcoins in a wallet will be a norm, people will be more active to buy and sell things for crypto.

Unfortunately my government still not agree with cryptocurrency because they still categorized as criminal money.
Personally,  bitcoin is a new way to transaction, transaction that can be done with internet not similar with CC, it can be use for transferring all money around the world which IMO will increase global mobility for better future !

a natural thing, make bitcoin as a payment tool for online shopping needs.
but in my opinion, if for shopping needs and doing transactions using bitcoin, depending on the bitcoin you have, try to make a percentage based on your bitcoin asset allocation. For example:
- 30% for investment
- 50% for trading
- 20% for shopping
with these references you have the limit to use bitcoin as best as possible. there are times when you collect profits, and there is a time for expenses, so there is a balance in managing your bitcoin assets.

I've used bitcoin to pay for stuff when I wanted a degree of anonymity and when I did not trust the retailer enough to use a credit card. However IMO, using bitcoin for retail purchases is bad for bitcoin when the retailer (or the payment service) will immediately trade it for fiat, putting downward pressure on bitcoin's price. I think bitcoin's price and market cap needs to be much higher in order to reduce its price volatility and increase its utility as a medium of exchange.

Bitcoin is an outstandingly easy way of payment - especially (but not only) for cross-border transactions. The experience would be even better if businesses accepted Bitcoin natively without the fiat conversion crap. But this will need some time to happen... For now any business that accepts Bitcoin is a big win for our free decentralized market money.

Compared to cash and credit/debit cards, bitcoin is definitely easier and more ideal for one simple reason: the transaction is much faster and easier, all thanks to blockchain technology for making it possible.

I think 10 minutes of block time makes it somewhat uncomfortable for fast purchases.

the transaction time depend's on the fee that you put before you send the payment , the higher the fee the faster the process and the lower the fee the slower it takes to mine the blocks ( vice versa )  .  i forgot that it'll also depend on how congested the network is  .

now if someone would say that bitcoin is practical as a payment service , id say no it isnt because as on what i understand the term practical means cheap but bitcoin payments arent really cheap at all  .  there are still other payment methods  out there that we can use for free without any charges like fore example paypal .
