Why bother? It's not like BTC is even that useful in retail. Let it first prove itself by conquering the international remittances market and e-commerce.

Why is it not useful in retail? I love the idea of not having to depend on a credit card company to buy simple, cheap items. If I can just scan a QR code and pay directly that sounds so much easier and convenient.

Price volatility is the main reason.


I'm surprised that someone on this forum would regurgitate an incorrect statement like this. 
Bitpay and coinbase remove the risk of volatility completely. Period.
