How can we get people to use bitcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to get cash as a lot of people seem to do? When I say currency, I mean the literal definition of currency as something that is used as a medium of exchange.
Even online, there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.

Getting people to make use of Bitcoin would be a very difficult thing to do. First of all, most of us already have a bank account and do you expect them to withdraw the whole they have in their accounts or maybe half of it and move it to cryptocurrency? No, thats not going to happen, cryptocurrency is not even stable, how do you expect people to do such a thing? They will never agree.

Not today at least. Satoshi meant for bitcoin to be used like a currency for easier and cheaper transaction, though btc's current state would make it hard for anyone to consider it for it's real use. But don't count that posibility out as well since bitcoin's future is still far from realization.

Lol, even the question doesnt make any sense. Its none of the ops business if people choose to make use of cryptocurrency or not. You cant force anyone to make use of what they dont want to, people just dont like Bitcoin and thats the truth. Not even all of us here can withdraw the whole money we have in banks and put them in cryptocurrency, because we know what will happen.
