I'm with you on this one.  Btc's already mainstream and it'll only get more widely accepted. But that does not mean people will use it for everyday payments . Truth is, most of  interest in Bitcoin today still revolves around it as investment. People buy and hold it in the hope that its value will increase in future.

Those who still believe Btc is on its way to becoming a mainstream currency are probably just kidding themselves ,  or are simply hypocrites . I have seen plenty of people pushing others to spend BTC while they themselves won't spend a sat , lol.

How's Btc supposed to become currency when even its own supporters mostly see it as an investment?

Bitcoin is already mainstream.

People are using it for things that they can spend it on. I dont know how else you want to define mainstream use. Yes adoption can grow further and I think it is fine for now.

With the growing interest in cryptocurrencies we are seeing many new people entering the sphere and hoping to either make money or to try out the new tech or just gamble with it in anonymous casinos.

Because of the technically difficult background of bitcoin certain people might get put off, but its not completely essential to know all those details.

They are interacting mutually with each other. Education contributes to adoption while adoption results in more people, institutions, communities that are interested in Bitcoin, engaged in the Bitcoin community with their educational efforts. Without education, no adoption but adoption is helpful for Bitcoin educational attempts in the community too.

There are many educational resources for reading and learning, abundant enough and many people don't mind to read and learn.

Indeed, that it is impossible to conduct any business without connecting to the Internet is not a logical justification for refusing to consider cryptocurrencies as modern means of payment since even regular banks cannot work without being connected to the Internet. The difference is in the control system of these payments: the bank card works through the centralized institution, whereas cryptocurrencies do not have a centralized institution that controls them. Their non material nature cannot be considered a disadvantage when paying with such money since this is how people want to pay and exchange money. It is the individual’s choice whether to pay with such money or not.

I think it's a lack of education. People are very consumerist and only consume news. As long as the news doesn't speak well of Bitcoin, there will be those who look for opportunities but aren't allowed to see the bigger picture. If you don't look for good investment alternatives, you can't get into Bitcoin. Governments, news outlets, and people in power don't want people to know about Bitcoin; that's the only way they keep them hooked on the usual system. It's a lack of education.

It is in the mainstream already. We know that there are people who are inept about technologies and innovation.

But most people have access with the internet and that's why it's growing and going to the point that soon everyone knew it and will start talking about it.

The possibility of accessing wallets and exchanges through data without even having a load of it will happen for sure.

It's only a matter of time and so if that's what is mainstream for you, I know that we'll be there soon enough.

When something is speculative and looks like one of the 7 wonders of the world, you should expect even a mad man to give their theories that are meaningless. Wait until democrats win the next election, there are some people sitting in their home with free wifi to create useless articles especially the once that will hit the headline and travel fast. And as fun as these looks, US and Japan is the two countries people have used to speculate creators of Bitcoin as if the world revolves around only US.


Bitcoin is successful with price action, it will make sense if it doesn't remain these way. We talked about price and price but if you want adoption, the easiest way to get it to people is to make them use Bitcoin. You may want to keep it, that's fine but keeping it may not be easy to convince the government we can change their mind to adopt Bitcoin. If not now that some governments have reduced their hateful comments on Bitcoin, they never like Bitcoin in the first place until now and that's because of adoption, we need government approval to get to everyone if we are been sincere.

But that project can never be adopted worldwide. Maybe in a single region where Bluetooth signals can find the next node to transfer the data ahead. Anything can happen in between if there is a vulnerability, as it hasn't even been audited by any good developers out there.

Any person with some knowledge of blocking signals can cause the whole network a huge problem, and a lot of us would even do it for fun, haha.

But if anything like this could be developed and spread all across the world for free, that means the internet could be free as well, and they would never allow it.

This are real talks many are dodging, we are shouting mainstream but we self don’t want to spend out Bitcoin. Who’s going to sell what he believe is going to double tomorrow. That why Bitcoin has become store of value than currency.

Mainstream doesn’t mean everyone is going to buy bread with Bitcoin. It means that it has enter front page, banks offer it ETF and government are talking about it. For this kind of level Bitcoin has already win, the spending part will do come little by little when users gets enough profit and merchant aren’t scared of government again.
