If there was a single application that would cause a mass adoption of Bitcoin, what would it be? What is the one single killer app that would make Bitcoin accepted worldwide and cause mainstream adoption?
It seems that whatever it is it would have to be something cool. Something that attracted the attention of the mainstream consumer that required Bitcoin as an entry gateway. Something that made the average person go "Huh... That's interesting" and go to their computer and type 'Killer App' into google.
What's needed isn't a Bitcoin killer app. It's a killer app that needs Bitcoin.
Ideas?
people hate having to fund a applepay wallet. a paypal wallet. a starbucks wallet. a amazon wallet. but when these merchants accept bitcoin direct. then bitcoin can be advertised as the ultimate wallet that can fund any service without having to hand over personal finance details that can be hacked.
also knowing bitcoin is decentralised. having merchants (due to secretly playing the spreads) offering deals at an apparent discount or rebate
but the app needs a built in 'buy bitcoin' 'sell bitcoin' facility so that people dont need to use a separate service to just get bitcoins
