As I've said, most of them are coattail riders which means that they're going to be successful or will benefit from the ever growing success of bitcoin plus it's business integration so I believe that bitcoin is enough representative for crypto payments and it's always not just bitcoin when crypto is integrated anyways. Oh man, let me tell you regarding being on top, I don't think bitcoin's going to be dethroned ever, the supply that it have compared to other crypto out there is unparalleled at how low it is so I don't think anyone will get close plus the demand of bitcoin increases first before any other crypto because bitcoin is the poster boy/girl of digital currencies.

Tech wise, I don't think there's much any altcoin do to make them unique, bitcoin essentially covered the bases of what a digital money should be and anything additional is just to make it more complicated. A lot of altcoin will say they're different when they've just worded some tech mumbo jumbo in a different kind of way and used a synonym to that so-called "what's unique about X crypto".

I totally agreed with your points, that the true potential of BTC lies in the use cases it have. I did not know that car's fueling is not getting payed by BTC. Because 1 or 2 months back when the ordinal problem was raised then most of the news representing that, many vendors and merchants are living the usage of BTC as payment. If Big merchant and vendors were leaving the usage of BTC as payment then why small Shopkeeper will use it.

I read few topics here regarding this issue, but the whole thing is, now that issue is also resolved over time when the congestion in the network reduced. I can also see many new platforms are keep coming basically based on the BTC for stronger grip and trust in the market. I hope such projects will keep coming and never betray there users for small money.

Because there legitimacy will increase the adoption of BTC.

Thanks to the Lightning Network which has aided the fast transaction when using bitcoin for payment. What I understand is that bitcoin adoption is increase as the time passes on and more people will adopt bitcoin. That is when we can see the price to be very high and by then there will be no valuable assest that one will use to compare bitcoin. Those countries that are yet to adopt bitcoin will have no option than to accept bitcoin and legalise it,so that they won't be left out. We can see in Europe about the 60,000 EV stations that will be using bitcoin as payment. This is a good news.

Good catch, I did not look at the article, but this is what I was thinking. These numbers aren't really accurate everytime there's a report about bitcoin adoption and it's expanding uses, but most of the new businesses that accepts crypto or bitcoin payments are all in an experimental phase. Though it's still a good thing for bitcoin ecosystem, but we all just can hope that it works for their businesses.
I'm kind of positive there are more to follow, especially when a lot of people are using the lightning network, it will make the transactions a lot more easier than before.

Every technologies beauty is on its use case.  Technology is worthless if it can't have its real-life uses.  That does not excuse Bitcoin.  Bitcoin needs to be integrated in different applications and be adopted by different companies in order for the demand for bitcoin to increase.  Without these real-life applications and usage, Bitcoin growth will be limited no matter how hot or trendy it will become.

The beauty of Bitcoin is that it combines two essential elements for completing exchange transactions between two parties; The first element is that it is a store of value such as gold or fiat currencies, and therefore on the basis of which the value of a good or service can be evaluated very easily. The second element is that it is a payment gateway at the same time, according to the characteristics of the blockchain that allow it easily.
These characteristics make Bitcoin easy to integrate and cost almost nothing. Today we have the Lightning Network, which reduces transmission costs and makes it possible to send bitcoins in small amounts so that it can be used for transactions in small amounts. I am very happy to see people integrating Bitcoin into their small businesses. This is the kind of adoption we all want.

Whatever the actual number is for the stations that have started accepting bitcoins I think this is a beautiful speck of light which one day this light will widen and expand in all corners of the land on this earth. It's only a matter of time before everyone starts accepting bitcoins as a payment option. I invest in bitcoin believing there will be more mass adoption in the future. Maybe it takes years but well it doesn't matter because this is for the long term. Even though bitcoin in my country cannot be a means of payment. but the government here supports its citizens who want to invest in bitcoin which is a commodity asset here. And our country has even launched its own Exchange.

yeah, bitcoin has a lot of functionality, the fact that it can be used as a global transaction is one of the fun aspects of it, and aside from that bitcoin has other explorable features such as investing and getting profit, and having similar functionality with fiat but different and even better than the banking system just that there is no way we can not do without fiat and bank for the main time, and bitcoin having lightning network just makes it more interesting. and I don't know about banks in other places but the banking system here still sucks, still having a lot of network issues.




Some countries are already accepting it as legal tender, very soon other countries will start accepting it also and I doubt if European countries will want to make it legal tender, a lot of things will be considered and I think Bitcoin is more interesting when a larger percentage is decentralized, and over time a lot of people are embracing bitcoin, and as you said other people are still hiding due to restriction but very soon it will get to the point of people no longer hid and in my region, for some time people see individuals involved in bitcoin has scammers but with the awareness, I think people are already getting the clear picture of everything that bitcoin is not also Ponzi.

Honestly no on both accounts.

1. Nah Bitcoin on-chain is not for payments, that would never work there isn't nearly enough tx capacity for that. On-chain is for moving funds around, L2 is for payments. Any time of 'daily purchase' has no business being on the base layer.

2. Other cryptocurrencies aren't money, no reason for anyone to adopt them for payment. Bitcoin is money for humanity. Everything else is just for speculation/trading or random app tokens. In terms of money, it's always only been about Bitcoin, it's never been about altcoins.
