I have tried to explain this. Transaction speeed and fees are not what holds BTC back as a payment method. Read this guys entire thread.

The real issues are accounting and volatility.

Volatility can be solved with instant conversion to something like USDT but then what it the point of accepting Bitcoin.

Tax policy is the big issue.

The future for now

Bitcoin = Money (tapped into for major things otherwise a long term store of value, what you should convert surplus currency into)

Dollar = Currency (what you will get paid with mostly, what you will use for most day to day expenses)

I thought Nitter was dead! Thanks :)

Most instances are unfortunately but a few remain ☺️

Futures contracts?

Yea because that is what a guy running a bar or a tire shop wants to add to his life just so he can sell to you for Bitcoin?

This is still kind of new but,
