It is realized and understood by everyone here. The pricing are in dollars and converted to bitcoin for payment. Bitcoin should be used as a currency because that's the main feature of it, I don't see anything wrong if merchants are actually converting to dollars after accepting bitcoin because the fees are quite low and it can be transferred everywhere in the world.

They have to convert it because it's either their suppliers doesn't accept bitcoin or they have to pay for other things that don't accept bitcoin. But the most important part is that they are accepting bitcoin and there's a way to convert it on their side.

As Bitcoin adoption grows, more buyers and sellers may opt to transact in digital currencies, including Bitcoin. This provides many benefits such as ease of transfer, low costs, and decentralized commerce. The vendor may also opt to convert into stablecoin after the sale to further limit Bitcoin's volatility and "lock-in" the value. There are many benefits by not using fiat, especially as it relates to cross-border commerce.

wrong perception of using bitcoin, there are lot of shops accept bitcoin directly.

I guess people know it well. They should be smarter after following various discussions about lots of FUDs and uncertainty related to the future of Bitcoin. They must know that Bitcoin is growing and need time to reach its ultimate goal as a global digital currency. Now, since most countries in the world still don't allow it for a legal payment purpose, we still need to convert it. But someday, there is a possibility that Bitcoin can be legalized as a global payment tool around the world.

*We are on the right track and getting closer to the goal. Believe it!  

Don't get too emotional mate, the reality on the ground is that though Satoshi envisioned bitcoin as a payment method its fixed supply does not make it fit so. People prefer holding it as assets of value rather using it as a currency. But there are actually marketplaces that accept bitcoins as payment just that there are not many out there.

Well, those I consider veteran here in using Bitcoin already knows that. It is just a matter of supply and demand, what goes around comes around. Even if you spent your BTC, convert it to USD, that BTC you sold will also be bought by others so I don't really worry about it. That is why I prefer that BTC works together with fiat so everyone could live in peace.

While this might be true, the only thing that would make us truly depend solely on Bitcoin and not bother on fiat valuation is true, global adoption with complete separation or abolishment of current fiat standards such as USD. You're argument is agreeable only because until now, we still rely on fiat such as USD to actually know how much a product costs.

But remove USD out of the equation, and you could see an entire economy could run out of Bitcoin monetization, and goods might be priced fix, or there is an economy regulator that would impose tax or price inflation (i.e. an apple costs 1 btc today, but 1.1btc tomorrow because of whatnot). It's the same as USD, less the middlemen, the government that actually knows who you are and what you purchase of.

Really we have to understand that if any shops going to deal with bitcoins they price in fiat currency like USD, euros and more as sell compatible but buyers should pay with bitcoins as rates in fiat money but your point is bitcoin price is not stable if compers to fiat currencies right? it all depends on buyers and sellers, because in fiat currencies also we can see price differences between one country to other countries.

I do use Bitcoin to pay my bills and other expenses using a third wallet app or buy something from an online store, what the fuck are you saying?   It's the same principle with the dollars but much less volatile. I payed in Bitcoin at a reasonable but at the time that I want to pay for it, I don't care what happens to its price, they have the right to convert or it's just like converting dollars to other currencies like Peso or Pounds.

Of course it is still tied with the world's market price (just what do you think Bitcoin is?). For example, if I pay 0.058 BTC for a new set of computer, it will be valued at 500 dollars or P25,300 which is pretty decent. It's not like Bitcoin will be out of this world's market price just because it is a cryptocurrency. You are confusing people.


Sure, I would be willing to pay in Bitcoin instead when the world have regulated it to the point of stability, it's not like Bitcoin will stay volatile forever.  


Why not? If it's available and Bitcoin had become a pretty stable currency, then I would be willing to get payed in Bitcoin. I have the choice to convert it or not. It's like working in a freelance website and getting payed in USD. I have the choice to convert it to my currency or not. Every currency fluctuates, Bitcoin is no exception.


It is the same, what are you saying. All the currency are convertable to USD. If people want to convert Bitcoin to USD, It's not like they are tied to Bitcoin alone. It's the same principle with paying Peso to an american shop, I can use Peso in order to buy something and they have the choice to convert it to Peso or not. You are still using a currency that has the same value with the one you are buying.

All currencies are tied with the world market.

It's no different from any other speculative asset. You pay someone in gold/silver or stocks/equity in a company, it will also vary wildly in price relative to a more stable asset. It's just part of life and has everything to do with worldwide acceptance, underlying technology and usability. If you believe in those factors for BTC, eventually it will start to actually act like a "normal" fiat currency.
