Some big establishment has come to find a way in order to continue their services in front of the crisis and offering online payment system has been created. It isn't a new thing to happen since they are giving the comfort of their client but wondering how it gives a huge effect in regards to crypto adoption and might giving them an option to disregard crypto. That is why we can't see a massive impact on crypto this time and even seeing a huge increase in users because of this option. So we can draw a conclusion that Bitcoin and crypto adoption has never been so strong and we can't expect that people would accept it in the future.

I hope you understand some payment options such as paypal, VISA and Mastercard can also be used and many online and offline stores accept all these more than cryptocurrency. While at this period, the use of fiat currencies are not encouraged other means of payments are being consider except some merchant that have long history of accepting crypto

It is time for digital payment or using crypto currencies if in case the governments are ready for this as there are many factors that are need to be fix first in order for digital payment to be available to anyone either you are rich, poor, in urban area, in rural area and etc. And teaching someone is not easy, they can easily use fiat but do you think shifting to digital currencies will be easy for them especially if they have no background to it.

Let's face the reality that we are not yet ready to implement this kind of payment system but maybe in the future, if all the difficult factors will be solve and it will give a way for digital payment to fully replace fiat even if there are no virus around. And as you see, crypto are also struggling right now due to the effect of corona virus.

]You make a good point buddy, I have been guilty of this too, it's high time we change our perspective

If we keep saying it isn't ready to become a global currency, I don't think it will ever be, rather we need to work towards achieving that.

Bitcoin's moment will be when people will be educated not to trust banks or any third parties. That's gonna be a long, hard road but we're on it right now. When we will all wake up to reality and realize how we don't really need a third party to be under control of our own financial assets, we'll know that Bitcoin is the key.

This is not our moment. I think it's going to take many years before people are going to start realizing the above. Let's not forget the fact that many still do not know even the basics of cryptocurrencies. We need lots of patience.

If our system wanted to, we could've included the old people in it too with a very simplistic concept. But Bitcoin isn't something the system wants. They want to have control over the money we have, and it is partially correct because there are instances where you just need to take control.

You're right too, Bitcoin is a hard-to-understand asset so educating people to switch over to BTC is a damn hard task. But it's achievable, although maybe not with our current generations. Time will see.

It's not as easy as checking something on the internet. There are many suspicious people out there, they haven't study about bitcoin and they don't think it's a safe way of their transactions. We shouldn't forget that bitcoin is something like stock exchange. How many people want stock exchange? It's not exactly stock exchange, but this is how article sites of their country represent it.

No, it's not a time for bitcoin now. Unfortunately for us, it's obviously the time for paypal 

My thought.

While bitcoin is a good way to make payments, there are still other fiat payment methods like Credit card and debit card which can be used for payments.
These cards these days also have tap n pay facility for which you don't even have to swipe the card in the machine.
So I guess while there are existing ways in which people can use fiat money conveniently, bitcoin won't have a chance for being used as an alternative.

Yes it is.

But I hope there are supermarkets who accepts that kind of payment.
Sadly, there are not much.
You will still need to exchange your bitcoin into something which is being offered at the  cashier.
Cash or credit card or debit card only.

Perhaps, there will be a time we could see it there. Even for just one cashier.

we all suspect that this is the best opportunity for bitcoin. some people predict the price will go up very high. it's just that the current situation is quite different from what was expected. it might take time for that. even some opinions say that bitcoin is badly affected by COVID-19 today.
it's just that I feel that this is really right for newcomers because soon will be halving, they will definitely see the benefits of bitcoin and make adoption increase.
