do you think bitcoins (deflationary) will see a wider adoption by retailers in future?
Undoubtedly, yes. I would love to have my business partners use XBT. Here's why:
1. It's a faster and more secure method of paying/getting paid (lower transaction friction means sales go up)
2. Zero third party risk
3. Money supply is known and behavior is 100% predictable (very important for business) and can't be tampered with - superior to inflationary fiat.
