Contact e-commerce websites like Amazon, and request that you want to pay with Bitcoin, Ether or any other coin you like.

It can be done by using site's feedback or contact us forms.

This way we can create demand because good e-commerce sites care about their users. And they know that the more payment methods you have the higher the conversion rate (the % of people who buy something) because some users can use only 1 method of payment. For example, some americans can only pay with Paypal while some venezuelans can only pay with Bitcoin, etc. So, if the site supports more payment methods it will convert more orders on average.

To increase the demand for implementing cryptocurrency payments in e-commerce sites we just have to request that using the contact us or feedback forms. The more people give feedback to their favorite online retailers the more people will start using bitcoin as payment method (now that we have segwit).

The more people do this the more demand for Bitcoin there will be.

Thanks to those who do that.

It has been proposed in the past and call for Amazon to accept bitcoin is widely on request. Actually not just in Amazon but on other big merchants store too.

But honestly, like others saying here, even a store accepts bitcoin, I doubt many will used their bitcoin as a currency since bitcoin price is expected to increase for more years to come. Bitcoin holders doesn't want to take away the chances so by any means, they will just used their bitcoin if it's really needed.

But that will mean that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have value only for holding them.
Buying stuff from internet won't happen because 100% of people hold?
There are no developing countries which currencies have deflated and use Bitcoin for having value, like Venezuela?

You talk like there are no cryptocurrency payment processors? Look in Google.

Why think like that, when Bitcoin is getting more and more featured on the news and now a lot of people have heard of it? In a couple of years when the technology becomes more usable it will hopefully get massively adopted.

So, the whole point is that people who want to buy stuff from internet with crypto have to contact their sites and ask for that. Good internet stores take into account user feedback seriously and if lots of people are requesting it, they will implement it because it will make them more money. See this article: Boost conversion rate by offering alternative payment methods.

In a nutshell the more payment methods a online store has the more sales they do for the same traffic.

Both, online shops and crypto users have interest to do it. Its a win-win bank-lose situation. Everything is in place and soon it can happen. Lets do it.

Lets contribute for the early adoption of Bitcoin and stop banks from frauding the system(QE) and taxing us much more.
