Eh, even if all the online retailer in the internet started accepting bitcoin, how about the buying side? If consumers won't start buying things online with their bitcoins, you can't expect anything to happen massively. Surely the economy of bitcoin will expand because of the retailers, but it isn't enough without the buying support from the consumers. In 5 to 10 years, it is basically all or nothing for bitcoin.

Well, it's like Paypal now ... 70% of all seller in the world accept this ... with a "hell" of fee and chargeback.
So, when sellers realise that Bitcoin ... have nos fees and NO CHARGEBACK, the world change.
We, the bitcoiners, are like Eobard Tharwe in Flash Serie.
We look the world with a winning view (after the sellers accept bitcoin massivly).
and it's good.

Of course sellers should be taking Bitcoin. But you need to move the buyers to use Bitcoin and to accept the fact that they don't have protection from scams. I love to take Bitcoin, but to pay someone in Bitcoin, you need a little trust that you're going to get what you paid for.
Paypal is good for buyers on eBay; Bitcoin may not be.

retailers can accept it no problem, will consumers use it?
I certainly hope so. How much of a percentage of online transactions would BTC need to move the price?

I'm skeptical that Bitcoin will ever be taken serious as a currency.

Well I'd love to hope so, but let's remember his opinion is obviously biased. I can't see any reason why online retailers won't accept bitcoin as it cost them nothing to do so and can only bring them in money, but we all know merchants and the general public don't always listen to logic.

My honest opinion is this yes in next 5 years and onwards Bitcoin will be accepted by most of the online retailers.For better understanding we can watch the adoption of Bitcoin in last 6 months and can predict where it will be in future. https://youtu.be/iQ2TOFIgvis

well, thats exactly whay all of us are thinking, yes? or at least thats our hope, if not, what are we doing here?
If even 25% of online retailers accept bitcoin in 5-10 years we'll be laughing.
exactly, we dont need that every online retailer accept Bitcoin to be happy

like Satoshi said(not exactly):
in 5 or 10 years either the vast mojority of retailers will accept Bitcoin or none will accept it
in 5 or 10 years either the vast mojority of retailers will accept Bitcoin or none will accept it
Hopefully it'll be the first option. Look at where we are 7 years ahead.

This is a good thing to hear. I hope he is right and that we can get past each obstacle between now and then.

so we can assume that we need at least two halving, and that the coming one is not enough, it make sense seeing how the price is still crippled
