Topic: Is Bitcoin ever be Mainstream? - page 2. (Read 930 times)
Actually Bitcoin will be mainstream very soon, much people already know about this currency. If we looking the popularity of Bitcoin now it will be make Bitcoin increase the value. And it will make some famous outlets will accept Bitcoin as payment.
There are many new companies that are starting to accept the Bitcoin as one mean of their payment offer. Bitcoin is changeable and transaction with that coin are connected with the mainstream users and management but nevertheless, Bitcoin has high fees right now and buying the simple cheap things like the bread or the cigarettes in the stores or something else could cause nonprofitable transactions on both ends. Bitcoin will stay at the top of the coin chain for a very long time and it will be included in more and more companies as the payment mean but it will never become mainstream currency like FIAT.
Will we ever use Bitcoin for day by day use? Buy a bread, a phone, a car, an appartment? Or Bitcoin will more likely be a way of just storing value and we have to rely on altcoins to use them daily?
yes you can buy bitcoin for bread, phone, car, an appartment, etc. if seller trust about value bitcoin.
today more and more bitcoin users as transactions. despite being banned by the government and the state.
not to use bitcoin as not as nasty as buying drugs
We can see today that Bitcoin is still lack of acceptance in the mainstream. But I believe in the future the scenario will likely to happen, many people will consider accepting payments with Bitcoin and possibly with other cryptocurrencies too. The cryptocurrencies scene is hard for ordinary people to well-understand about it so, I expect its need a time for people to acknowledge it.
Hello. i dont think its mainstream. A lot of people have heard of it but they dont know what it can do or what it is supposed to do. Crypto and bitcoin will become mainstream in 2018 i think. There are a lot of projects (especially in the Ethereum ecosystem) that will lift cryptos up (before the great fall and then the rise again

Isn't it already the mainstream coin of all crypto coins? Not sure if I understand the question correctly.

Bitcoin is not yet the mainstream and has not been legally recognized, but I think within three years if Bitcoin continues to grow, it will be recognized by the government and will be monetized. to transaction 
Actually, you are talking about using bitcoin in everyday work. But it has not spread so much, but it will expand in roughly all the cases. In that case, you can make payments for everyday work with it.

For now it's a big no bitcoin's fee it is too high, people will not pay something that the fee is higher than the item, besides that long confirmation is the main reason here... Maybe the alternative such bitcoin cash is suited for this case, bitcoin itself is not suited for small transaction it's kind of like an asset not as a currency.
It can not be denied that there are still friends of us who never know what bitcoin is. it is our responsibility to share what we know. In the year of January 2, 2014, we are ready to know, BNM states that BItcoin is tidah valid in Malaysia. This we see because still again The presence of Bitcoin and also digital wang is still early to enter the mainstream. Nor is the lack of presence of bitcoin, the various schemes that may be said to be fiddling with the use of bitcoin tickets as a means to gain profit. The emergence of skim-schemes and scammers is what is ruining the name of bitcoin in Malaysia. Between the 2 downs are bitkingdom and also ethrade.
Do you know the lords and ladies of bitkingdom and ethrade in google we are at no 1? within a year.

I think bitcoin is already mainstream, but the level of usability for day to day expenses still vary from whichever country you are in. In addition to the viability of bitcoin for online transactions, some countries are already accepting bitcoin in stores, in schools, or even in real estate.
In crypto world bitcoin is mainstream but in terms of use bitcoin still not accepting in some store but i heard slowly bitcoin is accepting locally even here in my country some restaurant are accepting bitcoin as payment the good thing there you can just swipe or scan the barcode its just like an ATM card that you can just swipe and you paid.. So i think bitcoin will be useful in the future the only problem for now in bitcoin is volatility of the price.. The price is not stable anytime soon the price could be drop or increased its value..
If you are talking about popularity then yes, bitcoins are certainly mainstream, but if you are talking about bitcoins as a mainstream currency then we may see it becoming so in the near future as it gains more support.

I truly believe that bitcoin has gained its popularity in tge mainstream. Though it has been created years before, in the presence of todays technological advancements from smart phones, smart TV's, and digital world I yhink it will gain more attention in the mainstream in the coming years.
Will we ever use Bitcoin for day by day use? Buy a bread, a phone, a car, an appartment?
Yes if you are living in a country or a community where most of the people are involved in crypto then chances of having day to day use with those things is possible.
Or Bitcoin will more likely be a way of just storing value and we have to rely on altcoins to use them daily?
When the value has reached the highest peak like $50,000 - $100,000 or more everyone will treat it as storing value but still transactions will exist.
The price of bitcoin has been changing. How should the price of the goods be determined in the process of use
Currently Bitcoin is still gaining attention and users through the speculation of its price. Even though this prevents BTC to be used as a currency for now, the whole world is looking at BTC now. Once the "rising and dumping" or better put the "speculation" phase is over, it might be quite possible that BTC can be used as a currency. For instance, a good time point would be, once all coins are mined or if the price is stable for a longer period of time. For now, it's rather prime time to buy and sell BTC for profits.
I've never intended to use Bitcoin for my daily expenses, as long its value continue to increase. I don't ever want to lose this kind of opportunity, having a passive investment that has a low chance or risk getting losses. However, Bitcoin has becoming more mainsteam, as more sites continue to accept this digital currency as a payment method. One thing I notice is that most goods were all digital or intangible, such as prepaid mobile loads and utilities. But still, if there's a chance to be fully mainstream, I stil prefer to use cash rather than coins. If BTC value become more stable like fiat money than the situation would be pretty different.
Until we find a way to improve BTC scalability..we will not be able to use it for our everyday buys..and BTC will keep on being considered as a store value.
But in my personal opinion if we think that today the most used store values are gold and real estate...and if we consider that both have lots of costs..for instance for gold one must pay for its storage and transportation...or in the case of real estate we have ordinary maintenance costs and high level of taxation.
So considering all of this BTC might reach for real a value above the $100K because it might become very soon the most reliable store value in the world.

I think that most likely the second option. Bitcoin will be an alternative to a cell in a bank for storing valuables, you do not need to make bunkers or special safes at home, it's enough to keep a password in secret. And for daily use will be used some altcoyins.
