Is it, therefore, somehow a misplaced appreciation of Bitcoin when many are ecstatic every time it is accepted as a payment for a glass of lemonade or a piece of banana?

Not really. People get ecstatic not necessarily because bitcoin is being used for one of the things it's intendedly made for(payments), but mostly because bitcoin is actually getting used in the first place. We all know that Bitcoin is already a household name, yet adoption is still very low.

Again, my point is that Bitcoin wasn't intended for those kinds of transactions. Yes, Bitcoin is intended as a payment method, but online. So if you're dealing with somebody face to face, Bitcoin isn't for it. Cash is the real peer to peer. There are no third parties in between. It's a great system that Satoshi wanted to imitate it in the online world where P2P transactions aren't at all possible.

So to a certain extent, buying a piece of cupcake from a nearby bakeshop using Bitcoin isn't really adoption. It isn't the goal, after all.

I don't see any problem paying with BTC face-to-face. It is an add-on feature, instead of paying with cash, you pay with Bitcoin. And I think it is a positive sign the Bitcoin can be used as payment not only online or what so ever.

From the definition, an electronic transfer does not necessarily means you must order an item online and pay for it with Bitcoin. You can still do electronic transfers when you buy some snacks in a convenience store that accepts electronic transfers.

I believe the success of adoption is when every person is transacting with Bitcoin by paying for their goods in supermarkets, stores, and malls via electronic transfer regardless if it is face-to-face or not.

You know what, paying with Bitcoin in person is just cool! It's like being a part of the future right now. No more fumbling around with cash or worrying about if your card's gonna work. Just whip out your phone, scan the QR code and boom! You're done.

And the best part? You're not just limited to online shopping. You can buy snacks at a convenience store or pick up some groceries and pay with ease. Imagine walking into a store and paying with Bitcoin just like that. No banks, no fees, no worries. That's the kind of future we're talking about here.

So let's spread the word and get everyone on board. The more people see the convenience of using Bitcoin for everyday purchases, the faster we'll get to that future we all want. Let's do this!
