Something to think about is what advantage people will get to pay you with Bitcoin? If none, then why someone would use is coins to pay a dentist, knowing people prefer to hold their bitcoins and wait to see the price increase, etc. People are only interested in money

If I get a 10% discount if I pay with Bitcoin I may think about it but other than that why should I pay with BTC. I could simply convert BTC to fiat and pay you with.
Also, did you consider that most people have health insurance? Let's say someone pays you in BTC and then the insurance refund in fiat? where is the interest for the patients?


I do give discounts with dentalplan (similar to insurance), you don't get a refund but you get a 30% discount, i could say to pay full and give a 30% back, maths is the same. I would do it for Crypto and real currency, otherwise it would be a suicide, but i get your point.
If people prefer to hold them (you could be very right, actually i think you are...) in that case Bitcoins wouldn't be a currency, just a speculation tool, there will never be use of them in the real world. If that is the case all the project will fail even before starting (happens...).

I tought people would be glad to use Bit because they are a very powerful instrument who could change the cost of money and anything associated, if not i see no use for cryptocurrencies. I am ready to help anyone who wants to use them an exchange tool, if people wants just to speculate, that is fine, but i am out! Smiley
