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.
So did you mean that Bitcoin is not already a currency? It is already a currency but it is a digital that can only accept via online transactions or any things that uses technology, not in real life because bitcoin is really volatile so that the everyday it has a changes when it comes the value of each. It is difficult to use bitcoin as a primary exchange like stores or in a market because there are many people doesn't have a deep knowledge about bitcoin and the can't afford it. Fiat currencies is a fix amount of value and all people can have it.
