Topic: I can't wait until I can pay using bitcoin at the supermarket - page 7. (Read 2269 times)

I would like to believe. However, such attempts have already been carried out many times, but in the end everything led to the fact that the projects were not implemented. It is rather difficult to create an ecosystem connecting two links, one regulated, the other not. This is extremely difficult to do at the legal level, except that a fully regulated cryptocurrency will be used instead of Bitcoin. However, this will complicate the exchange of bitcoin for this currency.

I think it will be credit card and dollars, Bitcoin and shitI. Prefer spend bitcoin  and save shit money. I can't wait to start using Bitcoin to purchase things in supermarket like the way we are using our normal currency to buy and sell in our environment.

simple as that isnt it  ? but that doesnt remove you from waiting . you can be waiting because of limited cashiers , or so many items bought by other costumers  . add in when btc/cryptos are accepted because transaction here wont just process instantly .

your lucky if supermarkets on your place accept btc but what if not ? and the op  concern isnt just about supermarket that accepts a btc but he want to use his btc anywhere .

It's going to be easy just scanning the QR code and boom! You have paid for your groceries. I guess it will remove long waiting lines.

Using bitcoin is also a good idea, but the most important is where to accept payments for you. Don't treat cash and credit cards as bad, they are both money and valuable. I don't want to stop your bitcoin passions, I love cryptocurrencies and bitcoin too, but you're probably exaggerating.
If it were me, I would use the payment card and then cash, bitcoin ranked last.
Paying with a card accumulates points and can be discounted according to the value of the item, among other offers.
Payment in cash will not incur any costs.
The above two methods were performed almost immediately.
Paying with bitcoin will take a small, slower time and your address will be exposed.

Even though today many people use Bitcoin as a digital asset, it does not rule out the possibility that in the future it can be used
as a currency. Most importantly, we should never stop hoping that one day we can spend Bitcoin in supermarkets. Just start by trying
small things to buy goods from merchants who have accepted Bitcoin payments, small things like this can helped the mass adoption of
Bitcoin.

Good thinking, these are some of the critical issues why bitcoin is not readily accepted by shopping malls or supermarkets. Until these loopholes are filled, some of us may never experience the great feeling of using bitcoin as an immediate medium of exchange of goods and services.

Ideally LN will be simpler to use than on-chain, sending transactions is already much simpler because you just have to paste the invoice, which can be done via QR code on mobile devices, so there's less room for error. Opening the channel is probably the hardest part, maybe in the future  there will be specialized wallet software that makes it as easy as possible for non-technical people.

Not only Doge has limiations, like any altcoins it's much more volatile, so it's a really bad currency.

In this modern world, bitcoin is using for payment methods. Hopefully we will be able to see others altcoin as our payment methods. Day by day, people are getting benefits from bitcoin. I hope we will use bitcoin in different sector in future.

I think we will find a different altcoin as a payment method in a supermarket in the future but not the BTC. BTC is much of a store value now and max of the people accumulate like a precious metal. A stable altcoin is a better option maybe.

Using bitcoin payments is cool and easy, bitcoin acceptance has been adopted in several places ranging from coffee, hotels, and many others. Although it is not yet in a famous place and place of interest, the adoption of bitcoin as payment is already planned to be accepted.

It would really be pretty cool to just pay with Bitcoin since won't have to bother converting it into your own currency. Lets just hope some institutions withing our own countries have the time to place Bitcoin somewhere in the market in which it will be really usable within supermarkets. Its cool to have paying groceries without the hassle of using cash since nobody know how much Bitcoin you are carrying anyway.

This is for the time being and things will again go back to normal but major problem that in many countries there are no such option available where the btc is used as the payment option as merchant does not have it due to not legal in their country or still no proper guidance around it being provided yet.

I son't believe that Bitcoin was created to be a currency. The 21 million cap, and the 10 minute block creation time, means that it will never be suitable for volume payments for low value items. It is money, and a great medium of exchange when time is not of the essence. Because of this, I hope it will never appear as a direct payment method in supermarkets. If it does, then it will need an intermediate banking or quasi-banking intervention, and this rather defeats the Bitcoin concept.

We are not hopeless yet. Things can be changes sooner and fees will also be lowered.

As we all know that Bitcoin creation is intended for currency and not for investment. Maybe we are too far from happening but I don't feel to decline such a thing cause I believe that moment will come. We are complaining about fees because we are just transferring our Bitcoin to other address/es, but if we are using it to pay our bills, use in buying stuff, it actually we can't feel the fees.

Most of us are dreaming and hoping that we could used our bitcoin as payments to pay goods and services in the real world a long time ago. But I think it is not going to happen from now on because a lot of crypto users are complaining about the high fees and slow transaction that it takes 30 minutes - 1 hour to complete the transaction.

It may sound a nice idea to have bitcoin as a mode of payment at the supermarkets, but before it can happen, there are lots of things to consider.

The technology right now used for transacting with bitcoins isn’t the best just yet. If bitcoin would be used in supermarkets, it wouldn’t be convenient since a single transaction takes for about 10 minutes to be completed. If you’re going to have many transactions, it could take for about an hour or so since per transaction it requires another confirmation. And the consumers and businessmen don’t want that because it would just lengthen the waiting time lining up at the cashier.

Another thing is it has a high transaction fee. It just wouldn’t be practical for you to use it for small transactions because it would cost you more. It can be more appropriate to use it for big transactions only so you can reduce the amount you’d spend for fees.

As much as we want bitcoin to be widely used and accepted by these merchants and their businesses, we can’t make it right away. I hope the services offered would develop into something better than we have now, so we can consider and take a leap for this kind of situation.

We still have a long way to go, but hopefully someday it’ll happen since bitcoin has a lot to offer that majority weren’t aware of.

And LN still has a bigger learning curve than the layer 1 so, It is probably not going to happen any time soon.

Something like doge would work better than btc probably but again, it won't last forever because doge has its limitations too.

I think bitcoin is best as an asset rather than as a regular payment tool instead of cash.
Reason:
Bitcoin transactions more slowly than cash and bank cards at transaction counters. Bank staff will not wait until the first confirmation of the bitcoin network.
Paying by card will help you accumulate bonus points and can help you to refund in future transactions.
Paying through bitcoin is also risky that the bitcoin storage applications can get into trouble and you will lose your money, but for payment cards, the bank will ensure the safety of your money. Organic.
So it is best to choose cash and payment cards instead of bitcoin in everyday transactions.
