Isn't purse.io basically a way to buy carded shit with bitcoin?

what you mean? you can basically buy everything on amazon

How naive are you? Carders do the buying, that's where the "50%" savings come from. Check out some carding forums, you'll find better deals.

I think the answer is simple: for the vast majority of transactions for the vast majority of people there is no material advantage to using Bitcoin so why would they use it?

there is actually, but they don't know about it, because from the first tiem they hear about bitcoin they say "no that a ponzi, that for criminals that fro this etc..."

you can save plenty fo money with purse.io + bitcoin, this alone is the biggest reason to use bitcoin for now

The purse.io option is a fair point actually, though I would still argue it is still not relevant for the vast majority of transactions*; moreover any savings will be offset by the fiat->Bitcoin conversion costs, plus (never having used it) I assume there is a risk of exchange rate losses in the time it takes a purse.io transaction to be filled.

* certainly the number of times I use Amazon is only a tiny fraction of the total number of transactions I actually make.

all i know is i have already saved 30% on 40 euro sum, for 3 order already

if the price of bitcoin is dumped while you submit the order, you simply pay less, so there is no real worry about that

and i'm earning bitcoin directly, so i'm not worrying too much about that

★Bitvest.io★ Play Plinko or Invest!

I found one answer that one here didn't want involvement in BTC. He said that he wasn't interested and something about

technical geeky steps to get it and spend it. He is not that technical yet to be able to really dependably secure btc. When it

becomes more user-friendly, he could get into it. I hope so.

The limited amount of Bitcoin accepting retailers, the more widespread it becomes the more globally adopted it will be.

What you are saying is true but before that people should also have in depth knowledge of bitcoins then only they would start using it, I mean retailers starts accepting bitcoins but if the people are not aware of it then it would be useless, so firstly people should be introduced to bitcoins and if it clicks their mind then only adoption would be high.

I feel the main problem of the bitcoin is. It does not reach to all common people and General groceries and other small scale companies not accepting bitcoin as like fiat of the country. After companies like Dell, Apple and amazon, many companies gradually adapting bitcoin. I think After 2016 bitcoin will reach to all level people.

I think the adaptions by big companies like that, will take longer than just 1 year. It will take at least 5 - 10 years for more companies to adapt to this. Mostly because once these bitcoin transactions starts rolling, anyone can track that down. I think that's one of the main concerns that these companies are dealing with.

As I see it, some people are not using BTC in some country because they don't have computers, cellphones(probably they have one, but not like what we have in our hands that works almost like a desktop) or even internet connection specially in remote areas...I think that is whats stopping them to use bitcoin...

but if we introduce bitcoins value to them and they have those that I mentioned, I think they will use it..

There are countries, with no banks on small cities, and they have more than one mobile per person because they use them for money transference. When users want something, think about they can do it, and create new systems or adapt them to their country.

Simplicity and accessibility; although we have made a lot of progress over the years (e.g. coinbase, circle etc)

The infrastructure for bitcoin is still be built and it will take several years for the bitcoin to be a popular payment option.

Yeah, right...

And if we are talking about media and mainstream exposure, I guess we ourselves need to do word of mouth publicity and make everyone aware of Bitcoins in a respectable manner...
These things also matter as to how you explain anyone about BTC, what concept do you put in front of your friends, family, etc...

The most people dont need bitcoin as they dont have were to spend it!Womans like to shop ,open a store and accept bitcoin soo the mans can gift them and well they can talk each others saying i paid with bitcoin,my man gaved me and i bought a new jeans with it,im inloved for bitcoin even not knowing what it is.This is something that must be done,some shops should allow bitcoin as payments,but with the current financial problems over the world may be fast the increase of interest into bitcoin.

True, the problem is people are not aware of bitcoin and so they don't need it.
The moment they see shops with a bitcoin accepted badge they will become interested.

Well , I agree with you. If all outlets accept bitcoin , certainly bitcoin will become a currency . but the most important of the bitcoin should be legalized .

We need more media exposure of bitcoin or blockchain technology or anything else related to bitcoin. It is better for the exposure to be positive.

That is right. But if the media needs some approval with the government for approval that will be a failed exposure already. Government will always stop a non taxable kind of money.
