It's true that the volatile nature of bitcoin is one factor that will limit it's use in trade, but fiat currencies are also not stable.

It's just that Bitcoin is unpredictable in its volatility, it can drop as fast as it can rise.

Another one is transaction fees. Unless those fees decrease, it will be more convenient for people to transact with fiat instead of Bitcoin.
This is very true. The transaction fees ae definitely one of the reasons that bitcoin cannot be used as a main form of payment, because smaller valued transactions will not be able to be carried out without hefty fees that may cost even more than the actual item. I think that this is why bitcoin is being used by most as an investment, however i have noticed that many prefer to transact with coins that are a bit better on its transactions fees, such as the ripple coin.

I agree to a very large extent. This is the reason Perhaps many economies are kicking against it. It's a good thing that it is decentralized - which means anyone can own it but the disadvantage on the global scale is how unregulated it is.

The big boys in the game always want something that they have total control of. I think cryptocurrency is doing just fine though. It didn't have this level of accomplishment and acceptance a year/ two years ago.

To a large extent, i think that we are all hoping that cryptocurrency becomes adopted into the infrastructure of the financial system, however this may not be the case. In my opinion, one of the main reasons that bitcoin and other crypto cannot be a main form of payment is the market volatility. With the price shifting vastly over the course of a day, this can result in a loss to ether the vendor or the buyer depending on whether the price had to increase or decrease. Therefore it is this instability in the price that may be the reason why bitcoin cannot be a mainstream form of payment. Do you agree with my thoughts on this?
High risk in Bitcoin will be the biggest problem in this case, because not all the people are ready to take risk.
so they will not agree to lose their money at risk bases.
Further more one way transaction is a big problem, if you send your money at the wrong address, there is no way to take it back.

One of the reason why Bitcoin may not be the main payment options for local business transaction is because of it's high price and division rate to make payment of our choice.

Another great and important factor would be security. Crypto currencies transactions are not easily traced and this would make it easy for cyber criminals to do away with people's money. This alone is enough to discourage people from accepting this mode of payment.

To me bitcoin is a commodity that can be traded and can be used as medium of payment but not a national Currency and I don't think it should be pushed to be a national Currency or international trading currency but an alternative way to make payment seamlessly.

This is a very good point. There are many countries that are attempting to regulate crypto transactions through the regulation of wallets and kyc verifications, however there are also a number of wallets that do not require this information as well, therefore the anonymity is likely to continue. I do agree that security is a major issue as a currency cannot be endorsed if it is being used for the wrong reasons (crime).

I think that although bitcoin meets the criteria as an exchange of value, the criteria as a trusted store of value and hence a reliable means of payment is always in question due to its high volatility. Investors are always wary of this and sometimes can scare them away.

In order to curb this, the regulatory bodies would have to make sure the implement a policy that would ensure all wallets do the kyc verification. This way, there won't be much issues, especially tracing criminals.

Nothing could have stopped it in attaining that pick but the risk is too much

This is true and would involve that many countries work together in order to try and achieve this as the wallets are based in different regions or countries. At the moment if a wallet in your country requires kyc verification, it is easy to bypass this through the use of a wallet application from another country, where their restrictions are not as limited as what you are experiencing with your native wallets.

Absolutely, the regulatory bodies of various countries would have to work collaboratively since we are all trying do get rid of cyber crime and so anything that would help in achieving this needs to be accepted all over the world.

I think the unique reason why Bitcoin is not become a main form of payment, because of its high volatility. I remember before there are many shopping online website who added Bitcoin as payment method, then they have deleted it, because of the instability price value. So is impossible to fix a product or service price using Bitcoin.

At some stage the price of bitcoin will stabilize, but in my opinion cryptocurrencies aren't something for the lame man, I mean it's quite complex for something that is to be a generalized form of payment...tried explaining the concept to my parents the other day but they wouldn't just understand 😭😅

I agree with your thoughts. Bitcoin votality may be good for trading but it is not good as a payment method. I faced a big problem when bitcoin gas fee went high. I could not convert my bitcoin to local currency because the transaction fee was so high, the amount I eventually had was too low than what I deserved.

Transaction fees are a huge concern. This is the main reason why coins such as ripple, although they have a much lower value than bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, are so popular. Ripple has the unique characteristic in that their transaction fees are so small that most describe them as being negligible. Also, when the bitcoin price is high there are many transactions, therefore the traffic is high and his causes high fees.

The possible reasons why bitcoin would not be a main form of payments are:
• its unstable nature or volatile, no government would want a currency that rises and falls without definater reason, it could crash the economy of such country.
• alot of people are still ignorant of the subject of cryptocurrencies and how they work and even some people that knows about it has not fully accepted the whole concept.

The first problem is that its price is fluctuating a lot and it is going up day by day.And its value can go down all of a sudden.Yesterday, the currency hit the dollar, hitting 000 33,000. This means that it is temporarily going up.

I do not know about other cryptocurrencies, however, I believe bitcoin has the power to expand as an easy payment method. The only problem I see with bitcoin payment is whether it will be misused by the terrorists and people who do money laundering. Since it is impossible to track bitcoin payment due to its anonymity, it is difficult to know what was the money used for,
