The acceptance as per area where we at is one of the reasons why many merchants don't accept it yet. Maybe on special occasions that they are accepting it if a customer voluntarily asks them to get paid in Bitcoin. But we're already going there, more and more merchants we see them accepting Bitcoin to their businesses and so, they can also have it as a holdings. Some of those that are accepting it doesn't mind getting paid with it because they'll convert it asap through a third party.

Usually if individual merchants do it, they do it without the gov having its share of the pie in the matter, and that's what may bug them off.

For that reason BTC should be regulated to be an alternative to be used, not some asset that everybody just has - but can use too.

It doesn't have to be regulated but what government needs to regulate are the exchanges themselves. And that's why the other people that are still skeptic of Bitcoin is because with government's hand on it, making it look like something bad. And we cannot force everyone to use it because for as long as it's been used as an asset nowadays, many will also do the same thing because they see the bigger value from it.
