I don't have bitcoin yet but planning to acquire it. I have been in the forum for sometimes now though I am not regular, but studying whenever I visit the forum. And noticed one thing about bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital money for trading, payment of goods and others. But what I noticed is that, bitcoin cannot be used to buy and pay some instant services and goods. Examples, you want to buy banana on the way while driving from a hawker, will you use bitcoin to pay the bananas? Because the way I am looking at it, it is possible but the delay in transfer is the concern here. Bitcoin transfer is not like the bank transfer in which we received instant allert within 2-3 minutes time. I know some people will say set the transaction fee high then you can pay whatever you are buying with instant alert. I don't think someone will pay something with BTC and the transaction fee is very high and double the amount you want to pay for the goods.

So I want to know in such situation, what will you do? I am asking this question because bitcoin is a digital currency for exchange of goods and services. I know that there are some services you pay ahead but what of the ones you are buying instant? You just came to the place and you want to buy from the hawker and zoom off, and you are to pay with bitcoin because there is no physical cash in your wallet/pocket/hands. And because of the delay in payment I was thinking that not everything we see can be purchased with bitcoin, is it true?

Bitcoin at the moment is not ready to be used as a currency or use for payment in my opinion, I mean first of all bitcoin was not accepted in a lot of stores nationwide, so there's no way you could pay for everything online or not just using bitcoin, Compared to the past years there are a lot more stores where Bitcoin is already accepted I remember I did create a topic related to small businesses that are already accepting bitcoin and there are only a few, But today there are already a lot of them and Bitcoin is already recognized as well but a lot of companies. But it wasn't just the issue since bitcoin, in my opinion, is not suitable for business, just because of the volatile market price, if you're going to use bitcoin as a payment on your business your just gonna need huge cash for cash flow because if someone pays bitcoin you cant use that amount anymore because it will automatically be invested on bitcoin you cant just sell it anytime because prices could go down easily or vise versa.

For me Bitcoin is just suitable for investment at the moment, but for sure we are going to see a lot of changes on Bitcoin in the future and maybe it will be suitable as a currency that we could use as well on every transactions.
