Yes, smartphones have played a major role in bitcoin growth. Many users trade with the comfort of their smartphones. It comes handy for the users/traders/investors to use smartphone and to all the tradings.

More and more people are using smartphones thanks to budget friendly mid-rangers, almost anyone can now afford to buy a smartphone.

Mobile payment is becoming more common and it is an opportunity to acquaint people more into using bitcoin . Mobile payment will eventually replace credit cards or at least will make them less mainstream. An example  of this is Apple Pay. Bitcoin smartphone wallet  apps are to use when you have a transaction, you just scan a qr code and the transaction is done though will take some time to be confirmed.

 

That's the goal of Bitcoin, to disrupt Online banking or Online Paying system. So mobile smartphones are very useful today and in the future. You see, nowadays people opt to shop online specially for those who are so busy at their work. It's very convenient for them.

I agree a bit I think most of bitcoins transactions will be done on pcs for now but in the future if we are gonna use bitcoins in a every day situation you need some kind of mobile device to make the payment.

And I think that is where bitcoin is going  simple qr code you scan in mcdonalds and payment is done with 0 confirms

Mobile payments are becoming more popular, that is true, and I'm sure that there is a place for bitcoins also. Mobile wallets are very handy and convenient but there is still the problem with number of merchants that accept bitcoins that are not so easy to find so for now bitcoin debit card stays the most reliable way you can spend your coins.

There are some issues also regarding this. Because smartphones can be easily manipulate ( it's system ) they are some hacking issues and the security is not thick enough to do the transactions. Yup it is good to have Bitcoin in smartphones and there are people who uses that but I haven't tried it because of the claims of being hacked.
They are still developing a way to develop a more secured application and transaction. Right now I wouldn't recommend using smartmobiles for your own sake.

You say midrangers. But not even. Even low end phones these days sre much better then tip end stuff you got years ago so anyone rich or poor can meet online and use apps and we sites and forums. Right now I could be typing from a crappy phone or a really nice pc. You never know.

I pretty much exclusively use my phone as I don't have my own computer and haven't for a few years now. Definitely the fact that I have a bank inside my phone is very empowering and I pass it onto everyone.

Smartphones are very popular these days and thats why we see all the wallets has the IoS and Andriod version of the wallets to attract the people using their wallet.

I don't think I can hold on using a phone as primary and the only one option to surf the internet and do something complicated, the fact that using a phone really makes you struggling and can't do further and advanced activities make it becoming kind of limitation for users. You must eventually buy a computer to simplify your activities regarding of crypto world.
Even though it's a smartphone, doesn't mean it's as smart as computer.

Smartphones are a big help to bitcoin growth and visibility but are NOT vital to it. Bitcoin is doing well from mining, and other major uses that has been discussed thousand times here like watching porn with bitcoin without revealing details and gambling with it in an anonymous way. These are the 2 major industries that are vital for bitcoin growth in my opinion but I also agree that smartphones will help a lot a few years from now when hopefully they will be more secure (Android OS full of malware and viruses if you don't know what you are doing).

Correct, smartphone is the other way which we could use in earning bitcoin, if we don't have a laptop. So how come that it is vital to bitcoin? I think it depends on the person on where he is going to use his smart phone, whether for bad thing or for good thing, and watching porn using bitcoin is not vital, it is normal since we do have our needs, what is wrong is if we are going abuse bitcoin by using it on the illegal things here on the internet.
As we can see bitcoin is developing its transaction and ways of earning. Some of the development had been made is the wallets or what we called application wallet where you can manage your bitcoin on you phone device so when smartphones develops the bitcoin community will also increased as more ways and used to bitcoin will be made.  For me it smartphone is really a vital factor on bitcoin success.

As technology get cheaper and access to the internet becomes a common thing I have no doubt bitcoin is going to become more mainstream than it is right now.

I've been noticing this too in the community that I live right now. More people are getting involved in Bitcoin with just the use of their smartphones. Most of my friends who just get acquainted with BTC started their first transaction using their phones. With abundant wallet applications available for smartphones, BTC can reach any people anywhere in the world. The future is bright with BTC being mobile-friendly.

Wow! It is a good news and an indicator that Bitcoin is now being recognize by the Big Corporations worldwide. It seems that Bitcoin really has a high possibility to be the future currency. Because of the Apple Pay, for sure Bitcoin will become more popular and well known in the whole world.
As quoted the development in the applications serve as a better way for accessing all our bitcoins with ease. Few applications impose high transaction fee which seems to be one among the drawback. This needs to be done to help the increased usage of bitcoin as a currency through the apps developed for the same.

Apple Pay is centralised and doesn't provide even pseudo anonymity. Sad
Yes you are right and the smartphone devices that has chance to make bitcoin growth is android smartphone
because on operating system of android all of people can build their application,
so the comunity of bitcoin can make wallet of bitcoin, service of bitcoin on smartphone android and it will makes
bitcoin become more better on Android than Apple pay on iPhone Apple.

However, we cannot neglect the fact that the "massive upsurge in small transaction" is an effect of Bitcoin and smartphone tandem. Since Almost all people included in the middle class owns a smartphone and some for the lower class, they might use bitcoin as a form of payment in a daily basis (I am not pointing out whether they can afford the use of bitcoin let us just assume that most of them uses bitcoin). And if this happens then bottleneck will occur and since they are included in the middle and/or lower class, they probably use small transactions.

This simply means that smartphones are really vital to bitcoin growth.  It is the developers part to fix what ever upsurges in the transaction that causes unconfirmed transaction.  So what are you gonna suggest?  Stop people from using smartphone to do bitcoin transfer?  That is absurd.  Instead, why not develop an app that will maximize the effect of smartphoes in bitcoin adoption / growth.  They are just use as gadget, whether the transaction is made in pc or smartphone, they will create a massive upsurge if Bitcoin do not scale.  Instead pointing fingers on the micro transaction, why not push developer to do their job to fix Bitcoin scalability.

In the first place, I am not claiming to stop using smartphone to do bitcoin transactions nor saying that smartphone is not vital for the growth of bitcoin. As a matter of fact, I am using smartphone to hold my bitcoin and for bitcoin transfers. I am only stating the effects of using smartphone and not stating it as a negative way. I am just adding enlightenment. Just be an open-minded person for a change and accept justifiable fact.
