I don't want to spend Bitcoin in a store that accepts Bitcoin 讽刺的比特币

in #bitcoin6 years ago (edited)

Finally I met the first store that accepts Bitcoin as payment in Japan, which is the Bic Camera, as suggested by @joywanderer as well.

We had a really long day inside this shop that located in Namba. You will meet many branches of Bic Camera in Japan but you don't normally got to visit a 7-storey-high Bic Camera. Don't be confused by the shop name, it sells all kind of stuff other than just cameras. From home applicants to digital gaming accessories.

I did not ask the cashier about how Bitcoin payment will be proceed as well as there is a huge language barrier between us. However I can guess the Bitcoin rate will follow the Bitflyer exchange as it is quoted on the board.

We bought something but none was paid via Bitcoin. Despite of having an empty crypto wallet, I don't wish my transaction for some small home accessories will takes up to 30 minutes to complete. Nor do I wish my transaction will cost at least 10 USD for network fee. Not to mention that Bic Camera offers extra 5% discount for Visa payment.

To my humiliation as a crypto believer, I just can't find a reason to spend my almighty Bitcoin in a Bitcoin-acceptable store.

Maybe people have to start to consider accepting some superior coins, like Steem?


今天终于遇到了接受比特币的实体店,就是遍布日本各地的 Bic Camera 。遗憾的是,我毫无用比特币消费的欲望。由于语言不通,我也没细问店员比特币付款的详细过程。不过可以确定的是,我不想区区几间件商品的付款过程要花上半个小时的确认时间,更不想为这交易付上至少十美金的手续费。就更别提使用 Visa 付款还可享有 5% 的折扣。

在接受比特币的商店我居然一点都不想使用比特币,真的好讽刺。或许商家们是时候考虑更高效的货币,比如伟大的 Steem?

You are right, as things stand now bitcoin fails at being a currency. It's like gold, great value but not great for casual spending.

感觉流程还没进化,用起来太麻烦,要是像支付宝扫一扫二维码一秒钟搞定就好了

同意。

目前去中心化应用根本不能和中心化应用比效率

Definitely.. Bitcoin can go mainstream but STEEM can go real!

Mainstream because it was the first coin, really hope Steem could be wide and real soon.

比特币买个冰淇淋的话可不可以先吃,等到到账都化光了

还是不要吧,手续费都可以买一支冰淇凌了

也对啦,花一个会涨那么多的bitcoin不值

就算不看升值潜力还是很不值得花的。steem 就不同了。
