BitcoinBTC maximalists "selling" it since 2015 as an alternative payments.
It was not a selling point but it was a fact further back during 2013 when online markets started adopting BTCitcoin as an alternative payment and it went crashing down during late 2015 when the network started getting congested and the transaction fees kept on raising.Last 3 years there were lot of adoptions of BTC Bitcoin mainly on trade markets.
But still no real daily market where the people use bitcoinBTC as a payment - just get out and try to buy a food for Bitcoin - almost impossible.
We need to have a scaling solution for you to see people using BTCitcoin on a daily basis to purchase goods.But still no real daily market where the people use bitcoinBTC as a payment - just get out and try to buy a food for Bitcoin - almost impossible.
Limitation of amount for a coin like bitcoin or any other altcoin as well low inflation makes it only worth to use as wealth storage.
Gold were also a payment unit till middle of last century, but now it is only wealth storage and speculation object on market.
Same is almost happen with BTCbitcoinBTC, moreover it is to volatile to be used as payment.
Completely bullshit, the limit in the number of coins has nothing to do with the adoption, it is the other way around, you cannot transact small amounts without shelling out a much larger fees and until that is sorted you cannot considered it as an alternative to fiat payment.

Except Satoshi Nakamoto will defreeze his million BTCbitcoinBTC there is no chance for bitcoin to became real payment alternative to 100 of fiats and inbetween 3000 alternative coins, some with infinite supply.
Heard about Satoshi the smallest divisible unit of BTCitcoin 
. You need to understand that around 22% of BTCitcoin mined are lost and you really do not need those to be the alternative to fiat currency, all you need is a much better scaling solution where users can spend much smaller units of BTCitcoin at a much smaller transaction fees.
