Bitcoin is slowly but surely getting into other countries, like countries on South America. You can check that on the marketplace section here, as an example.

And yes, stability takes part. Less stable countries tend to search for alternative currencies...

there are some factors in my opinion that play a role in adoption of bitcoin in different countries.

one of them which is also important is the regulations, the fact that some countries don't look at bitcoin kindly

the other one is the difference between the development of the country.
bitcoin is more known and accepted in developed countries rather than developing countries.

How are things in stores?
When you pay, you wait at least a confirmation to exit?

But how is the payment.
The merchant gives you his Bitcoin address or it is with QR Codes?

Thank you for your answers.
I'll try to watch the video to get an idea about this.

^^^ Franky1, Anti-Bitcoin par excellence speaks out of his asshole once again



No, Franky, First-Seen rules protects against someone using RBF to steal 0-confs away, you've been told 1000's of times and yet you still repeat-repeat-repeat-repeat this BS propaganda


That won't always be true even today, zero-fee transactions still get processed. To be fair, this is the only piece of advice that has a semblance of truth (and I think we all know Franky relies on making his BS more palatable by mixing it in with some obvious facts)




And here Franky reveals exactly the kind of boot-licking corporate shill he really is: one of the fundamentals of Bitcoin is to transact fungible money without censorship, and here's Franky, telling us to censor transactions (the irony shouldn't be lost on anyone who knows Franky for what he is: he goes on and on and on about non-existent censorship on this forum to disparage genuine supporters of Bitcoin)

Also demand is a must.

But you know here in my country, I doubt there are lots of demands for our local wallet exchange to give services here but they take the risk. Now our local wallet exchange really established a good name in bitcoin industry also somehow it helps us gained number of users here to be engaged in bitcoin world.

Well, to be fair, there is Opt In RBF. If a transaction is non-final (sequence of any input is not 0xffffffff), it is either timelocked or uses opt in RBF which means that the transaction could be replaced.

I would also like to add that the transaction has to have a high enough fee, not just a fee in general. Low fee transactions still take a while to get confirmed.

That ,I agree, is complete BS.

Additionally, when accepting unconfirmed transactions, you should also check whether the inputs of the transaction are also unconfirmed.

I think one of the biggest factors of not having Bitcoin in accepted in physical stores is that employees need to understand how to use Bitcoin too before it can be accepted.

I think it's more about connectivity to the Internet then anything else. Here in the USA it wasn't until 5 to 7 years ago that every physical store accepted credit cards, and this is because ISPs finally reached out to more rural areas and mobile internet services like 3G and now 4G LTE became cheap and available almost anywhere. Now it's a death sentence to your business to only accept cash, because a majority of people do not carry large amounts of cash on them anymore like they did only a decade ago.

How is Joe the Farm Stand owner going to accept bitcoin when he can't even get cellphone service in the majority of the area he lives and works in?

CPFP isn't supported by most miners anyways, so it doesn't help that much. Bitcoin Core doesn't even support it yet.

True, we could use some hardware that makes accepting Bitcoin in stores much easier. This is another project that I'm working on as well, but I don't think I will finish it any time soon.
