For me I feel that there's no way that bitcoin will be used as first option in terms of buying and selling of goods and services, yes bitcoin can be use for everyday money that's in the aspect of making online purchase but if it's in face to face purchase i think that is almost impossible because some people would want to make Fiat thier first option. Because I know that those countries that make bitcoin a legal tender also make use of Fiat which some people can decide to focus in holding Fiat over bitcoin due to it's volatile nature. Bitcoin can only be every day money if citizens is ban from making use of Fiat and of which you and I know that this is almost impossible.

Bitcoin has always being volatile and it is always volatile. The reason why bitcoin cant always be spent as fiat is because of it volatility,  this doesn't mean bitcoin is not yet adopted. As a business, if I'm opportune for my customers to pay me in Bitcoin I'll accept it and convert it to fiat because the money can be used at anytime, if I still keep it in Bitcoin and the price falls and I'll need money at anytime due to the volatility of Bitcoin i may end up being at lose. Most business people will be willing to earn bitcoin especially when they have in mind d to hodl but if this is not in the plan i doubt money will be in Bitcoin when it can be used anytime.

This doesn't make bitcoin irrelevant in this matter. Someone who wants to purchase something from a different country and now imagine they use fiat currency which may take hours to days to arrive at the seller of the product but with bitcoin they almost get the money in their hands instantly whether as fiat or just bitcoin itself.

The fact that many bitcoin enthusiasts are not ready to spend the bitcoin they have is just another issue to be addressed which could be an impediment towards that vast use of bitcoin as everyday money, and am taking it in with the thought that even when government declares it a legal tender in their jurisdiction it still wouldn't change that much because almost every bitcoiner is bend on hodling due to the Intrinsic value than spending it.

Due to the volatility of Bitcoin, many businesses will not want to hold it but will accept and immediately convert it to USDT to enable them balance their books. This is not the best for Bitcoin though but it is always better than not accepting Bitcoin. I know this may disappoint a lot of people who want Bitcoin to be used freely like we use fiat but unfortunately, we have to deal with the issues mentioned if we must integrate Bitcoin payment into our day-to-day activities.

They see Bitcoin more of an appreciating assets than something they can use everyday. Search the purpose of Bitcoin on Google, the response you will get is everything about Bitcoin, a p2p digital payment been censorship resistance, has been around since 2009 and many more but we have more of people that hold Bitcoin every day than people that use it every for day to day transaction, most often Bitcoin are move for two purposes which is when buying and when selling.

Another is the underlying fear of dump, transacting with large amount of money that is going to be used the following day is a big problem. Have you try to make payment using Bitcoin before? The windows are usually ridiculous. There was a time I wanted to make a subscription on one website, Bitcoin and stable coin were among alternative to credit cards but what I noticed about the payment is anytime you initiate payment and don't complete it between the time given, the sats refresh as the price of Bitcoin changes, but stable coin remain the same which means the team were trying to avoid loss due to price variation, this is the main concern about day to day money with Bitcoin.

Now that the United States of America has finally become the most friendly country to crypto I believe this will happen sooner rather than later, many payment options will start to implement Bitcoin as means of payment.

The option to either use Bitcoin as store of value or use as money will always be available, it is on we users to make a choice, I am looking forward to spend some Bitcoin as money and also keep stacking for future sake.

It is only a matter of time, even with the volatility of Bitcoin, it can't rule out the fact that Bitcoin can be used as a means of payment.

Most businesses that accept bitcoin usually convert it to fiat instantly which means they aren’t truly using it as a full day to day currency they are simply treating it as a payment channel instead of a store of value but that still gives bitcoin a strong role in trade because it solves the speed and border problems that fiat systems face. International transactions are where bitcoin shines someone paying from another country can send value directly without banks or long waiting times and the receiver can decide whether to keep it as bitcoin or turn it into their local currency instantly this flexibility keeps trade moving even when traditional payment systems are slow or expensive.

For everyday purchases though like coffee or groceries people still prefer fiat or digital payment apps because they are faster and cheaper bitcoin transactions can take several minutes and sometimes fees rise depending on network activity that makes it less practical for small daily payments. So bitcoin right now sits between both worlds it works best as a global bridge for large or cross border transfers while fiat still rules for local daily use as technology grows and networks like lightning improve the line between these two roles may fade but for now bitcoin’s biggest strength is not replacing fiat completely but giving people an alternative that is faster borderless and independent.

In El Salvador it's already in place, but they still predominantly use their fiat currency. So the application of it seems like it will still be difficult to realize. So don't expect too much that Bitcoin can be used like fiat money that has been recognized by many countries. I wouldn't expect much from Bitcoin as a means of payment; as long as the supporting industry exists without any bans, I would already be happy.


If we look at the vision of the creator of Bitcoin, its development has deviated from what he intended. But if we look from an industry perspective, this industry is currently developing toward an even larger scale.
