Until big payment processors accept bitcoin to exchange into any currency you want, I think it will stall to be the outright winner of completing all your payments.
I don't bother to explain bitcoin to anyone. It is too complicated for most people to grasp or they don't want to be bothered with another method of payment. They are happy with their cash and credit cards. So I say, "Uhmmh, suit yourselves!"

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?
How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?
In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?
Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?


I wish there was more options in my country (Mex.) but i have to change btc to cash before buy something.

Yesterday i learn about a nice service on USA who let you buy almost anything with btc https://getmagicnow.com/

Would be nice to have something like that here.

Yes, just pay very often online with Bitcoin. Only in Paris you can find more stores, coffee shops, etc, to pay with Bitcoin.

It just depends about explaining. If somebody is tech savvy, they get it really fast. There are some people though that can get it even after I explain the 3 times.

Like I said, in Paris there are most stores.

Yes, I have introduced many of my friends to Bitcoin.

3. There are quite a few

it depends on the person. the younger generation can accept the concept of bitcoin easier than the older generation.

if you mean to buy physical goods, then no.


How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?

to tell you the truth, is not easy to explain someone what exactly is the bitcoin and how it works, they always start with a lot of questions that all of us had when we start in this world, so yes is hard to explain to someone it.


In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?

unfortunately no, but i hope in the 2016 things will change Wink


Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?

only few of them, the rest look at the bitcoin like something that will never have success or something away.

Yes I have paid bitcoin to pay my mobile bill several times and to buy some discount vouchers.Bitcoin is really very hard to explain because it is very different from traditional currency or payment system and the most difficult part is to make them believe that bitcoin can be trusted.I am not aware of any offline store that accept bitcoin in my country even online shopping stores are less with limited goods and services.None of my friend is aware or even heard of bitcoin

1) of course.

2) that depends on who am I talking to. some of my friends understood the basics after I explained it once (their questions are correct), while some just can't grasp it (they ask questions like "so is this mining works like PTC or something"?)

3) unfortunately, no.

4) I don't understand this question.

5) most of them does. most are few in my case, though.

    Yes I have done it already.

2)How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?
    Very hard to the point I want to hit them in the face Cheesy

3)In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?
    Only one store in the country of my residence that I could buy directly with bitcoin.

4)Do your friends related to bitcoin?
    No unfortunately.

5)Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?
    No and actually many of the users here don't know that either as bitcoin is a lot broader than it looks and only few understand it fully.

No, I never used bitcoin to buy something. Except the using of it in the case of investment to earn others. It was paid with it for clod mining only. One time with success and another with loss.
It is not hard to explain to someone about bitcoin. It is enough that the other have the will to hear and in about 15-20 minutes everything is done.
In my country there are no store which accept bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is known very few or almost at all.
No any of my friends is related with bitcoin. I am the only one. Some of they have some knowledge about bitcoin given by me but not to much.

I prefer to HODL , I never buy stuff usually but I use it from time to time to buy digital goods (mostly Steam games) . Bitcoin may sounds simple to us with time but I personally find it hard to explain it to someone .
for what comes to my country , my country is so big however we have like 0 zero stores that accepts bitcoin so can't do much with them unless I use them online as I said above . I have one that knows what BTC is , he founds is annoying honestly when I start to explain (but as I said I guess I'm just not good at explaining to people what BTC is ) but well .. it's his choice

Your thread consists of questions that are not that related. I've never used Bitcoin as a payment method in person but I did buy it once via a Bitcoin bon. Explaining Bitcoin is really hard at times. You have to use a good analogy so that some can actually understand rather than just pretending to.



Bitcoin still needs more adoption before people can use it in their daily routine.

Here in my country there are several places where you can spend your coins, but the total amount is still way too low. You can buy fastfood with Bitcoin, buy beer in a pub, rent a bike with Bitcoin. That's it about it. I am more interested in seeing a supermarket nearby willing to accept Bitcoin.
