Topic: Time to stop using Bitcoin as a form of investment and start using it as payment - page 4. (Read 750 times)

Probably the reason why people are not using bitcoin as payment because of its volatility. If you buy a shoes worth .01 btc or roughly $60 and tomorrow that .01 btc will be worth $80 so that you just paid $20 over the price of that shoes. So that won't really mean good for you. So i think bitcoin being so volatile makes people not want to use it as payment.

Listen to me.

Look I know we are a free community, but come on don't you think the price has become so volatile during the past few months just because people started using it as a form of investment. I've seen people buy in low, in hopes of selling it at high, and that's basically pump and dump.

Bitcoin wasn't created to make us rich over night but was created so we could have control over our money and not the bankers. It was created so we could be free, so there won't be any borders telling us we are different from them so we can't trade with them. To be united, but all I see are people only talking about how much profit they've made, not about how it can help people that don't have access to banks(they do but it's a minority).

We live in a society where we take everything for granted, just like we've taken Bitcoin for granted. We don't deserve it. The ones that deserve it don't have access to it.

At the end of the day we become savages and only think about the profit not the good that it can do for us, instead of making us rich.

Yes, I was introduced to it because of the investment, but I was a fool at that time, I couldn't see the bigger picture.

(P.S. If you don't see Bitcoin as investment, then be proud of it, and hope it can help us be united, for it's all that we have left against them)

If we want something we should just get it and not wait to make a profit.

If Bitcoins became stable like fiat money where there is only small movements instead of the huge volitilty which is caused from people trying to make a quick buck,  by pumping and dumping then maybe more people would start to use it as currency which is what it was meant to be used for.

Why stop the former when you can have them both functioning for our own good. Investing in bitcoin means a lot to many of us in here because we found a chance to be rich. We can use it as a payment only if we have our own account. Investing in bitcoin is the start of getting involve to it and. using it as a payment is just a perk.

For how long are we going to wait? Won't that just make us misers?


That's overthinking: If I do this, this will happen. If I do that, that'll happen, what if instead of it going to 80$ it goes to 40$, you will feel happy then, but what about the person whom you bought it from, he'll be at loss won't he? We need to start thinking about others before ourselves and need to stop overthinking because it ain't gonna do us much good , this will be the stepping stone to make a better society.
