My question is if u see something u would like to buy and this item is offered at a lower price if paid using bitcoins, providing that you don't already have a wallet or coins would you take the time to set up a wallet and buy bitcoins just to be able to receive a discount on the item u wish to purchase?
I believed atm most people would not bother and pay full price,
WHY IS THIS SO?

The main obstacle right now is the pain-in-the-ass factor of exchanges (identity verification and bank account transfers--ugh!). Right now the answer to your question is no. If Circle can deliver on its promise to provide instant Bitcoin purchases via credit card, I would say yes.

It would also help if the benefits were there to help make it worth going through the work. Even discounts on items would go a long way.

It depends on the price of the item. Let's say I saw a $10 mouse pad at a 20% discount. As a guy with no bitcoins I wouldn't even bother to register on some exchange. On the other hand you can buy a car with BTC, e.g. Tesla, in such case getting into BTC is worth it.

this. It's all itdepands about what price if for an item.

yes i would. it is easy as 123 paying online is very convenient.

The question wasn't in relation to paying with Bitcoin if you already had it, it's about obtaining Bitcoin so you can pay for something.

This is pretty much how I feel as well. For items that give enough value to take the time to get BTC, it is well worth it. For example, if I can save $50 off something by spending 10 minutes dealing with Bitcoin, it's a definite yes.

Would bitcoin atm,'s help with this problem of small and instant payments in bitcoin for goods do u think?

Yes, but we need easy to use ATMs, not like those first generation Robocoin machines, that required you to scan your hand for like a minute before it allowed you to actually do anything.

like others said i think it depends on the price and item you are selling and even in that regard everybody is different

The revolution will be monetized!

I sometimes pay a premium if I can pay in bitcoin. My privacy is worth something. I rarely use anything except bitcoin for online purchases anymore. So for me the question is "Would I use a bank card if they offered a steep discount?"
Maybe, but it has to be a good deal.
