Just a feeling I have. It's all credit cards and dollars and shit.

Yeah, I'd rather spend the shit money and save my bitcoins, but I can't wait until I can use real money everywhere. I'd rather get paid in bitcoin and spend bitcoin.

I know how you feel, I also feel that but we can't force everyone involved in our lives to use bitcoin. Some people cannot accept the risk of fluctuation and violating regulations in government. Digital currency is a means of payment for the future, it remains the community to increase the excess bitcoin to be seen as a means of payment for the future. Besides, is it true that we as users can accept bitcoin fluctuations when payment instruments accept bitcoin, I mean many users complained when the price of bitcoin fell last year.

Here in our country I already see few stores (not supermarket) accepting bitcoin as payment. The adoption is happening but it will take a long period before we can see a huge changes since we belong in third world. Crypto is not quite popular here but somehow the number of users increased due to lockdown. I think if the government recognize crypto as a digital currency, people will start to use it and more merchants/businesses might accept it as one of payment method.

If only Lightning Network is being used by many Bitcoin users right now then this can be possible right now.

Although there are some establishments or stalls which are accepting Bitcoins, most or all of them are still aren't accepting it and they are more convenient in cash rather than Bitcoin or any other crypto but I think that this will change in the next months or years. There will be a time where Supermarkets will accept it only if LN will be adopted widely. As a customer, I don't want to pay using Bitcoins with very high transaction fees and slow transaction speed.

I don't really expect that to happen in the future and it certainly took time to prepare and maybe it's not bitcoin but altcoin according to each region. And also because nowadays most bitcoins are used by investors to make profit not not spending it to buy products in supermarkets.

spending directly with bitcoin is a fun thing, because we can easily use it. and this maybe I think this is what many people want but they can't apply because it's limited in their country they can't do this to shop with bitcoin

For now you can probably buy gift cards with your bitcoin and use it. I know its not the same as buying directly with bitcoins, but still feels good to be able to spend bitcoins indirectly to buy from the supermarket. Almost all of those major supermarkets have their own gift cards.
You can go to bitrefill or coinsbee. I bought some giftcards from them before without any problem (coinsbee has better rates than bitrefill).

This can take place when global adoption takes place around the globe. Making this method of payment as an option in business will hlep spread the awareness of this digital currency to the world. Though, this might take long before we be able to pay with Bitcoin for online shops or physical shops.

There are some online merchandise who are currently accepting the payment through Bitcoin. So, this can spread through the online world slowly till everyone is convince about the digital currency and it purposes to mankind.

This is not expected in the near future. Except that in a very progressive society, and that is very unlikely. Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous, and this is not profitable for the state. If only bitcoin changes the architecture of its structure and becomes controlled, then perhaps we will be able to buy bitcoins in stores in the city.

When Binance issues their card, OP’s wish will be fulfilled partly. He we be paying with Bitcoin, but still through exchange to fiat. Not exactly what he expected, but still a small step forward.

There are already coinbase cards, but it seems that they are not so popular. I wish Binance will run a campaign go make their cards more popular.

It hard to convince everyone to use their cards unless they get customers that wanted to spend the coins they purchase, majority of the investors are here to make the profit and they do not care about spending the coins they purchased for some products in the supermarket and that is the reality, we can dream about it when there will be a time when the price is stable.

I am planning on opening a small business on my place and I would love the idea of accepting crypto as payment method for it.
I think it is a good way to promote and to help people acknowledge crypto more even in a small way.
We already have a small store and I am planning on opening a food business since we couldn't operate a small restaurant due to pandemic I am thinking of made to order food and delivery business.

It will be a good initiative and if you could provide payment option in BTCitcoin and anyone already using BTCitcoin would pay using them but if your plan is to attract new users you need to provide them incentives to pay them using BTCitcoin if not anyone who never used BTCitcoin will never bother using them. The reason i know this is because i took the initiative to start accepting BTCitcoin in a few business ventures including a hotel and a lodging business and until you give them discounts and offers they will not bother even to inquire about it.

Well, with every passing day, blockchain acceptance and adoption is becoming a reality as more people continue to explore the option of using Blockchain. You may not have to wait longer before your wish becomes a reality. With what NowPayments is already offering businesses and merchant stores and platforms, accepting cryptocurrency payments has just become a lot easier. Nowpayments offers a simple but highly effective solution where with simple APIs any platform can accept cryptocurrency payments from anywhere in the world. More businesses will surely be accessing this service and it won't be long before they all start adopting this.

Restaurants are now starting to open but people should only be limited inside . On some stores they require i.d because they will only allow people according to their schedules . It's a good way to continue the business or try other business that are fully alowed today except food business . Go on with your ambition of promoting btc because not all can do that . Time will come that that btc will be use anywhere when all people are familiar to it

I guess everyone has the same feeling, bitcoin today is just for investment and I still think that bitcoin is not yet ready for spending or buying things online. Still, the market price is volatile so I can't really imagine it as a currency because the value is changing from time to time, just like accepting bitcoin as payment it is risky as always but you could easily earn a profit just like investing in bitcoin. I think investing in bitcoin is a good thing for the long term and you could totally make something by saving it.

Maybe merchant could be allowed bitcoin payment when the market price becomes stable and that could happen in the future as bitcoin adaptation continue, still, we don't know what could possibly happen or predict it, something could always happen maybe market price continues to pump and adopt or market could always to dump until it reaches zero.

It is such a futuristic idea and a dream come true if ever such thing would really happen. I am pretty much sure that we are all have been waiting for that perfect moment to come alive since it has already been years since cryptocurrencies have been established specially Bitcoin and it have already been years since the day that we are all wanting and dreaming for a massive adaption of Bitcoin usage and make it as one of the payment option not just for a certain country but as well as into the world as a whole.

I cannot pretty much wait until that day comes that whenever and whatever stores and merchants you come along is you can easily used up your Bitcoin as a payment option without in need of converting it into your local currency for it is already widely adapted and accepted everywhere. Looking forward for that thing to really happen sooner or later. That would be the best dream to came into reality for us crypto users for sure.

That will be a dream come true for most users and even HODLers since they will be given the opportunity to directly buy something they need from a supermarket or grocery store using something that they gained over the Internet. Bitcoins platform is still expanding to most countries and would set an example that even fluctuating Cryptocurrencies have the chance in the market.

It definitely is a dream come true but I do not think that we should hold on to that because I do not think we are getting close to mainstream yet, there will be a lot of blockades that bitcoin will have to surpass to have these things become a real thing I might sound like a pessimist but this is more on pragmatic, I believe that bitcoin can go to mainstream but their biggest blockade will be government, the more corrupt the government the bigger the blockade bitcoin has to surpass.

It's going to be nice just like what you have said, for people who understand crypto and who are earning
online by means of cryptocurrency, it will be nice that you can spend it directly.
More people to use it then more interest will raise as newbies and people who don't have any idea about
this system will see how things works when they've seen the actual process.
It's an additional informative drive once crypto lovers start using their bitcoin inside the supermarket and
allow other people witness how crypto currency being used.

~snip~

Stable coins are issued by third parties and you would have to trust them for not dumping on the market whenever they want, but this isn't the problem with bitcoin as it isn't a centralized cryptocurrency and due to its decentralized nature we don't have to worry about the exit scams as that of other centralized currencies or with the premined ones. So higher are the chances of either bitcoin becoming the widely accepted crypto or a new centralized crypto made by the union of banks or on a per country basis becoming the leading currency of the future.

I think the stable coins are not for dump or pump coins because so far, the stable coins price is not moving too high or low and tend to still stable. So if the government wants to use cryptocurrency, it will calm down people in the payment system because they can pay using the stable coins.

Bitcoin would be the investment type and the payment system, and the stable coins would be the payment system in the transaction.

You can try to pay something using bitcoin in the online store, and you will found that the price will always change, and the fee will always follow. But lets we wait for what each government will do related to use cryptocurrency at the supermarket.
