It's definitely a huge step towards the mass adoption. But is it really convenient to use Bitcoin for making a small purchases, especially when the fees are high?
Baby steps. I like the fact that a large organization has decided to put in the effort to accept BTC but I agree current fees are too high to swallow. A coin like Litecoin would be more feasible for this purpose.
Honestly, even if I could use just my BTC to pay for my everyday things with $0 fees, I still would not spend it.
The way I see it, BTC is an asset that will continue to grow if:
- Inflation continues to grow worldwide.
- Banks and large financial institutions continue to limit the poor from banking worldwide.
- Economic slow down and reduction of gains from stocks.
I am waiting till Bitcoin is closer to main stream adoption which I imagine will reduce the price fluctuations greatly as it will have turned from a growing asset to a currency.
