I was wandering a way to make Bitcoin accepted world wide and thought of some point that could help.
Under normal circumstances, Bitcoin can be accepted anywhere if the sender and receiver willingly agree, but the problem lies in the jurisdiction where the transaction occurs. There are some countries that dislike Bitcoin, some are due to political stability, political interest and economic interest. There are some countries that recognise Bitcoin as legal tender and others that are considering it to be their Bitcoin reserve, like El Salvador. US is also considering making it official very soon.
First of all we need to improve the usability of Bitcoin wallets and apps so they can be easy for every day use. We can also build more infrastructures like more Bitcoin ATMs and Marchant tool.
Bitcoin Scalability isn't an issue, that has been sorted out since 2017. There are many Bitcoin wallets with Lightning Network LN, these wallets are available on both iOS and the Play Store. Any person can use them to accept transactions every day, and they are very fast.
I'm not sure how accurate the numbers are for Bitcoin ATMs, but they are about
31k available ATMs, and this number is increasing yearly. With more adoption, we will have more ATMs over time.
Most importantly to educate the public. We need to create a simple localized educational content and run work shops , online courses, and awareness campaigns to attract more attention.
We can also engage with the government by encouraging fair support regulations and also promote Bitcoins role in financial inclusion. Another point is that we can support local adoption by maybe helping businesses and communities accept Bitcoin and use it for donations and aid in underserved regions. Let's pay attention to this final point. Maybe some countries are still kinda scared that why we need to educate more and ensure security and trust, promoting safe practices, proof of reserves and the customer protection.
When it comes to something like Bitcoin that is speculative in nature, government awareness is necessary to avoid altercations. Like I said, governments are very sensitive when it comes to Bitcoin due to many reasons. However, have you seen how Bitcoin has penetrated into the eyes of the US market? It's a collective effort of many believers that made it happen to the extent that the President have to play along, and sooner or later, Bitcoin will have a forever Gold card in that country. If approved by Congress, any other countries that are loyal to the US will likely do the same and other countries together.
There might be individual workshops happening around the world, but there are hundreds of conferences that are being held yearly. There was a recent one that happened in Dubai this year, and many more in the past. This is how people support Bitcoin and share a common way forward for Bitcoin.
