I keep seeing threads on “why don't people” ? The real question to me is Why would they ?
-The average consumer will go way out of their way to save money. Bitcoins cost more.
-The average consumer will usually pay a little extra to have convenience. Bitcoin is less convenience and more hoops and complications.
I just cannot see any reason for the average consumer to use Bitcoins. Until average consumers start using Bitcoins they will just be an experiment and a small speculative bubble.
I have my personal reasons, I am interested Bitcoins them as a tech person, speculative investor and person that follows evolving treads and markets. I am just struggling to see any.. benefits for the average consumer at this stage.
The thing is bitcoin has many users more than ever this is why it is very easy to find any transaction that is related to bitcoin, which means there is more probable earnings using bitcoin activities. This is why I hold my bitcoins for it has a lot of use to me.
