Bitcoin Forum

Christian Dekker: “I think that everyone will use bitcoin in one form or another. I’m not sure in what form this will happen, whether each person will have their own wallet or bitcoin will be part of some other mechanism in the hidden form "However, this is a very important tool, and people will use it."


What do you think guys? how many years do we need for all people using BTC?

I'm not so sure about that unless the country itself or government recognized bitcoin or if it will be teach on a learning institution. Mass adoption will come but I doubt that all people will ever use it, not all people can even own a cellphone at least or even buy a hardware wallet.

In order for Bitcoin to be applied everywhere, it needs to be very well developed technologically. Now a lot of people are working on it, but no one knows how quickly this will happen. I think it will take no less than 5-10 years

Change is indeed a slow process and it depends on the government if they are going to accept bitcoin on their country and let their people adopt it. It will take a lot of years to make it, its possible but difficult to achieve because you can't easily say that people are interested unless they can easily get some benefits from it. Actually most of them are still reluctant when it comes to technology.

Bitcoin adoption is around 2-3%. Look at this S-curve, which shows adoption over time. As you can see, it takes a time when adoption goes from innovators to early majority.  ;)

By the way, who is Christian Dekket?  :D

Five to ten years are needed to get mass adopted and I hope it won't be BTC. We need something more progressive to achieve mass adoption and it definitely will not be a coin with 7 TPS. More likely: LTC, ETH or BCH.

I think mass adoption will come after years once regulation give to cryptocurrency.

Many country cant accept bitcoin and crypto because there is no regulation yet and their economy and taxes will be much affected/.

The majority will use bitcoin but I don't see it to the point that everyone or all the people of the world will use bitcoin. There will be people that would stick to the old transition and payment because they can't get over.

But give it more time, there will be an enormous number for the mass adoption which we'll be seen shortly. The gov't is working on it and there will be a certain regulation of it worldwide unless they don't care about its growth.

Massive bitcoin adoption rate is not far away anymore,yearly bitcoin always get better and now banks have already joined crypto race as well,i think that regulation has a larger part to play if it ever get approved,with regulation many more people will want to give the tech a try and we all know how addictive bitcoin and other coins are,the moment you start using crypto for payments the more you won't want to stop using it

That's right, the time will come soon and now we are in the process of getting there. Right now my country is in a digital wallet trend, but I'm laughing, because everything is centered and some of those digital wallets are launched from banks.

I am sure the momentum will come and if everyone is familiar with the blockchain, mass adoption will soon be realized.

Massive use and adoption of Bitcoin will not be happening overnight. We have to always remember that Bitcoin is just a teenager and it can take a lifetime before anything like a currency to fully spread around the world. The rise of the US Dollar in the international commerce did not materialize within just a decade. And there has to be good reasons or incentives that people must feel before they will adopt something en masse. I am not so sure what can push the greater part of the whole population to get into Bitcoin but I am hoping that there will be...perhaps a global recession can be a catalyst or a great political upheaval just like World War 2 (but this thing can already be extreme and people can suffer a lot).

as i've always said i don't think "all" people are going to use bitcoin. just like anything else we can only achieve so much adoption before it is capped. so a percentage about 60% to 70%  might be a much more reasonable level of adoption. and remember that so far we have only achieve less than 1%.
so with that said to answer your question i think we need at least 15 more years to reach maturity and get closer to mass adoption. right now we are still in the denial stage where people still don't believe bitcoin can succeed even though over the past decade its performance has been phenomenal.

This currency system is still quite a new one and it has to follow lots of processes before it can be generally accepted, there is no doubt that the community will continue expand bit by bit as there is exposure of the coin to the public on a daily basis, but it cannot gain a fast rate of adoption as much as it will get when it is fully legalized and regulated.

This is where the government then comes in, for us to really have a full speed adoption of bitcoin, it must first be adopted by government because there are so many people out there that would hear and pick interest, but because of lack of understanding of bitcoin anonymity, they will shy away of it fearing that government might harm them kind of if they use it since it is yet to get full support, but without government support, it might take up to 50 year while with government support may take less than 5 years.

now in third world countries, 90 percent of people do not have bank accounts and therefore it is very difficult for them to receive money from the employer. if in the future crypto will be available everywhere then for these countries it will be a very important tool

I think it would take about 15-20 years for everyone to know Bitcoin and whats the purpose of this. Of course mass adaptation of Bitcoin will come from a huge governing bodies like the government to impart knowledge on how it will work.

How many years needed to adop bitcoin can't be determined, dude. We know that some times people are using bitcoin to create a payment system but in another case the most of people are using bitcoin as store of value.
that guy was saying about the true story about bitcoin if bitcoin has so many use cases and whatever the reason for those people to adopt bitcoin and as long as the creation of bitcoin wallet is still increasing a lot and that means if the adoption for bitcoin is still ongoing.
5 years needed by bitcoin to achieve more than 10k rate and more years to come and people will realize the true potential of bitcoin.

The problem with adoption is caused in not clearly defined regulations and taxes. Many people do not understand how to pay taxes from cryptocurrencies, so they are afraid of using them.  ::)

i think now people is start to using Bitcoin,
some of them using Bitcoin as safe haven investments and a lot of forex broker now accepting bitcoin as payment processor mate  ;)

the world is very fast developinga and technology too. I think that in 5 years, bitcoin will be recognized and accepted in technologically advanced countries

Now there are problems with big transaction fees and low transaction speed.
Also, there is a problem with safe storage of bitcoin. Many not experienced users are attacked by hackers...
If those problems will be resolved, then much more people will use Bitcoin...

He can just call it cryptocurrency bitcoin is not the whole cryptocurrency and yes I think that people will use cryptocurrency in the future and will have a wallet of their own.
as for how many years it would take for people to use cryptocurrency is it depends on the situation. but in my own opinion I think it'll take 2 decades or less for every person
for cryptocurrency to be the main option for payment.

In order for Bitcoin to receive mass adaptation, you do not need to invent anything new. To do this, it is only necessary that governments, global corporations and banks do not interfere with the adaptation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has already won the minds of many people, they are using it, they trust it and it needs only time to adapt it more and more.

I don't think everyone will possess some bitcoin. Only cryptos speculators and people who are interesting about the technology or dreaming about becoming rich are buying bitcoin.
I don't see an adoption of bitcoin in the current society. Yes, there are some credit cards companies offering to pay with bitcoin. But you have to rely on another company to pay with your cryptos.
Personnally i don't have this kind of credit card and i don't really want to have one as cryptos is too much volatile. Bitcoin can gain $1000 dollar in the next 30 minutes or lose the equivalent sum.
Paying with bitcoin is not going to happen.

it's hard for all to accept bitcoin and I'm sure that won't happen. there are many countries to fight the circulation of bitcoin so there is still a fear of using bitcoin plus very high fluctuations so that people are afraid of it.

I think even if we wait 100 years not everyone will use bitcoin

Bitcoin is not fiat and it cannot be imposed on everyone; but if one day bitcoin can gain the recognition that paper money does
Only then can no one be left out

As we have seen recently Bitcoin narrative has changed more to a Store of Value which I think makes sense, the 21 million number of BTC is a plus and minus to it, in terms of inflation good but interms of medium of exchange not so good, most people want to hold a whole sum not 0.1BTC, I could recollect when I introduce Crypto to people, they prefer to go for Ethereum to BTC because they wan to own 1 Ether to 0.1 BTC

Actually  bitcoin is so popular around the world and the adaption keep increasing time on time ..but the big problem here is the people who use it. What i mean those who used bitcoin to make crime and to sustain their bad habits.. Reason some governments realy hate bitcoin and other cryptocurrency..for me in my view if bitcoin have no bad side for sure bitcoin now replace all the fiat because of the potential itself and the records which is there's no other can break.  

As long as we can spread bitcoin to the public and introduce to them, it doesn't need too long to see bitcoin will be accepted and use for the payment transaction. We don't know the accurate time when it will happen, but we have the power to let the public know what bitcoin and cryptocurrency is. So far, they only know about cryptocurrency from one side, and many of them are not searching for more details about cryptocurrency. If they can learn more about bitcoin, I am sure that in the future, many people will join in the cryptocurrency.

for now i dont think it, in my country crypto still neutral, not ilegal but can circulate.
for everyone use bitcoin i think that need a long time maybe 5-10 years again all people know about bitcoin.
so for now i enjoy bitcoin for get income/earning from trading or investing.

what is happening in your country, is almost the same as what is in my country today, where the government has not legalized bitcoin because at this time, but in this case our government also does not forbid to make bitcoin only an investment asset so that its use not allowed as a means of payment.

It's long we have been talking about the mass adoption of not just bitcoin, but cryptocurrency in entirety. It is good that some countries and organizations have started adopting block chain. It seems they are more interested in block chain, than in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Which is why the acceptance of bitcoin might take a long time. Although, I believe that it will one day come to pass.

it only needs more countries in the brink of madness like Venezuela for its adoption to be widely spread. Hongkong is the next lol if the protest in hongkong died out, we may not see adoption of BTC or crypto there. Hongkong is a finance district and once there will be adoption there BTC will definitely rise. It won't take 5-10 years anymore/

I don't think BTC will ever catch on as an actual currency, used by everyone. It may catch on as a currency in countries with hyper-inflation, but even there they probably are better off using a different coin.

Where BTC will hopefully catch on is as a store of value, like gold. Now gold in theory can be exchanged for goods, but it's not like folks are going to their local starbucks and buying a cup of coffee with a sliver of gold. BTC is too volatile (and currently way too slow/clunky) to be used as a currency for most people, and I don't see that changing much in the future.

For crypto to catch on as a currency, I believe it needs to be some sort of stablecoin.

The amount of mass adoption Bitcoin has gotten, or it's current market capitalization is very much beyond what even Satoshi could have anticipated to happen after just 10 years. I believe  is on the right path, and a fews years time from now it's going to be even better.

The mass adoption is generally required for reaching the trillion-dollar crypto marketcap but the timing is not clear in the minds. As expected the new crypto projects have a goal to solve the real industry problems with the efficient problems and this can be a start line for the increasing awareness regarding the use case of cryptocurrencies. If the demand falls by the real people and small part of the world population have an idea what is Bitcoin, talking about the mass adoption is early. Real projects have a goal for the next 20 years and expecting the sooner results will be childish at this point.

You speak as a person who doesnt know anything about cryptocurrencies, just like U.S. members of the government.
Did you know which currency is the most used by criminals? Not Bitcoin! But American Dollar!  :P

Actually we can't predict this one more accurately .Mass adoption of bitcoin is taking place over a long period. But based on adoption, only the price of bitcoin increase and the 100% adoption of bitcoin is almost not possible .Actually it's a difficult task ,since some country doesn't accepted btcoin as a legal tender.

No one can really answer that question because no one knows tomorrow or can see the future. However, in my own opinion I think it will take time for mass adoption of Bitcoin to take place owing to the increasing number of projects of which many aren't useful or have anything to offer. With this increasing number of projects leads to many distractions in the crypto space of which many see altcoins as a means to quick cash out.
Nevertheless, I believe that as most platforms are now incorporating Bitcoin into their platform mass adoption is certain but no one knows when.

Not everyone will use Bitcoin but if the majority of the world population adopts it we can then bodly say mass adoption has taken place. Think about the remotest parts of the world, those who are Conservative about cryptocurrency and blockchain I'm sure they won't adopt it.

After all, every currency has at least an important role in many crimes and does not fully exist in bitcoin, so I don't think there is any assumption that bitcoin is used for crime, because if we only look at it at least we only see it on one side. Mass adoption continues to make cryptocurrency a digital currency that has many benefits, of course in the economic space.

Right now everyone is not using/owning gold so it's the same for Bitcoin..
Everyone will know about it but i think it's only a minority that will use it

I can't say how many years yet but there something more important in other countries than adopting bitcoin but sooner or later they will starts to use it as a currency to pay something. People are still in doubt about of investing or using bitcoin since they were too afraid of the volatility of the market that their investments might not gonna come to them again.

Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular in the world, more and more people learn about it every day. However, mass adaptation is not the fame of bitcoin; it is an opportunity to pay with bitcoins in any store or cafe. So far, Bitcoin is still far away.

The block size problem will not let the Bitcoin holders spend their holdings in coffee shops, restaurants. The Litecoin and Ripple coin suit the payment gateway mode better than Bitcoin transactions. The 25000 transactions per second are quite large to handle the worldwide payments if the post terminals ever accept the Ripple ledger as a payment method.
Even Visa and Mastercard companies want to use the advantages of the blockchain technology that can help them to pass the big size transactions faster than traditional methods. Adoption of the faster altcoins will be more accurate idea than the adoption of the only Bitcoin in my opinion.

What do you think guys? how many years do we need for all people using BTC?
[/quote]



The bitcoin mass adoption is continues specially to the young people interesting by the new technology, most of them are came from the information technologies student not possible to discover this new form of money using the technology. So I think 5 to 10 years because the new technology are faster to improve and people are very curious about the development of new technology.

Exchange sites have already charged with the tax and for me, that's enough. But it's not always caused by the tax regulation, dude. Only a few countries have introduced tax regulation for personal income.
But many countries are still sitting in the grey area and that makes the adapters are feeling confused only. tax is not something that makes them all feel worried about that.
The ban from the country is a thing that makes them afraid to adopt bitcoin. the regulation doesn't matter a lot in this case as long as it's not declaring to ban bitcoin or crypto.

sooner or later I'm always sure of that, big countries will agree with bitcoin and serve as a means of payment,
and if that has happened then a small country will follow and eventually the BTC will be adopted en masse.

Somehow it is starting now. The mass adoption we are talking about is already happening. If Christian Dekker said in what form? The form of digital payments, I guess. A powerful tool that will give the economy a convenience in everything. But we are just two steps from the mass adoption since there are still unaware that bitcoin exists or some are still not decided to use and patronize bitcoin. However, the possibility of mass adoption is still very much higher despite of the other government's oppositions.

it's not going to be too long because we have seen Bitcoin being used in grocery airports, restaurants and there are many ATM in many parts of the world, once the Facebook coin is launched, it's another story or chapter of adoption coming and additional people coming in to use Bitcoin everyday so many great news and it's only a matter of time.

from the many positive news that indeed opens the possibility for bitcoin to rise. and I think if the governments of each country legalize it, the new bitcoiner will multiply, and in every country can use it as a currency without any restrictions. therefore many say that bitcoin is digital gold, it can be imagined if mass adoption occurs throughout the world

I don’t think that we will see it in the coming years, but I think it will probably be possible in some ten years or maybe more, because now elderly people are almost not interested in advanced technologies and cryptocurrency in general and it will be very difficult to educate such people here and therefore in order for the whole world to switch to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency it will be necessary to educate everyone and it will take a lot of time and of course it is necessary that all countries would recognize Bitcoin.

I understand his point of view, but bitcoin is now widely accepted and its a talk of the country already, time after time, it could be used by everyone of us, and i hope those countries that are still hesitant, they could provide legal measures in order to give safety to the countrymen, about awareness of what bitcoin could do in a digital matters.

Most likely, BTC will remain for all a means of speculation in the market. I don't think more people are willing to risk using technology they don't know. Now a lot of attention to attract a variety stablecoins such as Libra/TRON/MasterCard. It seems to me that people will be more willing to use these coins but not bitcoin. Since in case of a transaction error, they will not be able to do anything.

It's hard to predict when. But I think it will take so many years before it will happen (if possible) especially when some governments are still ain't accepting and trying to stop the use of bitcoin in their country. As what I can envision, it's possible when technology is very advance across the world to the point, everything we do needs technology.

No matter the governments and regulations I don't think that Bitcoin will ever have real mass adoption. The reason for that is nature of Bitcoin, not equal techical development in different countries and limited supply. With these features I don't think how it's possible to ensure mass adoption all around the world. And it's hard to expect unique attitude of all regulators towards cryptocurrencies.

Mass adoption of bitcoin are keep on increasing as the time goes by,but it is difficult to tell or even to predict when will be bitcoin have a total mass adoption because we know that other country banned it or prohibit to use it. Value of bitcoin keep on increasing too because of limited supply with higher demand but it is not the basis of mass adoption. Also not all people in every country where bitcoin is used and legal knows what is bitcoin and how to use it specially those in old aged which is doesn't know even to use a cellphone and those people in remote areas that has no capability to buy a gadget that they can use for bitcoin. There are so many things that can be a hindrance for bitcoin total adoption. But only time can tell what will be a bitcoin in the future.

In the end, everything will come to this. Bitcoin will be able to upgrade the lighting network and then It will be much easier for people to understand. Once people did not know how to use plastic credit cards but now they are used by the whole world. If people understand that using bitcoin is convenient then progress can go faster.

I think it will take a very long time for Bitcoin to be used by everyone in all countries of the world. my suggest is maybe for the next 20-30 years. indeed there are many surveys that show an increase in bitcoin users each year, but this applies only in developed and developing countries. in fact, in poor countries and some developing countries still prohibit the use and all bitcoin transactions. but I'm sure bitcoin users will increase if the government (a country) plays a role in cryptocurrency

We still have option to use fiat and yet to consider cryptocurrency depending on the areas that are being accepted.
Knowing that fact that not all of us are open for crypto nor they appreciate crypto for the best currency to use in an online transaction will be a hindrance for huge market adoption. Mass adoption will always be matter on how we look into it and how we give support for this technology.

How many years can anyone use Bitcoin? This is an interesting question. Mass adoption is necessary so that cryptocurrencies can be a profitable need. Until now I saw that this Bitcoin has undergone a very good development.

My country is still doing research on Bitcoin. But everyone can still do Bitcoin development. So Bitcoin in my own country to be legal, just waiting for time.

For bitcoin to be adopted worldwide, every single individual mustn't own bitcoin, what is needed is awareness that the network is viable and a very good alternative as well as can perfectly work side by side with fiat.

If such awareness is spread in almost every nook and cranny of the society, then malls, stores and merchant houses would be willing to accept bitcoin, even if prior to that time they(the store owners)owned no bitcoin of their own.

The introduction of bitcoin is very slow. Half of my friends have not even heard about the existence of cryptocurrency. This is also due to different levels of technological development in different countries. Cryptocurrency is introduced only in developed countries with good Internet. And what can we say about the countries  third world, where people have problems with water and food...

We cannot know the exact time when Bitcoin was popular around the world. Many countries issue Bitcoin-related bans, and it makes Bitcoin inaccessible to everyone. I realise that it takes more time than we anticipate. But I still hope Bitcoin will be known to the whole world and use it as a currency.

Fortunately, smaller countries are even the ones that are accepting the use of cryptocurrency more than the larger countries, so it is not going to be a new thing to them when the big ones eventually chose to accept it, and I even think that it is smaller countries that are influencing the bigger ones already since they have tested and implemented it and the bigger countries like America, china and India have seen that it has not affected them, their economy or their power over their citizens in a negative way, they are beginning to have a soft spot for the cryptocurrency.

I am quite certain that countries like America will be regulating it very soon and since they regulate it, that would be the beginning of cryptocurrency wide spread in the whole wide world.

Year after year, adoption of Bitcoin is increasing worldwide but to be honest there is no specific time frame to it. Changes in technology is happening right now and more and more people are becoming interested to invest in Bitcoin and the blockchain technology. In my place, only me knows cryptcocurrency because it is also hard to spread some knowledge about it because of its complexity.

I think no one can really give us an exact answer about when BTC will widely be accepted and used worldwide. But from the looks and news that I'm seeing, we're gearing towards that. Major companies are now accepting BTC as payment across different countries and at the same time, some government are also accepting the fact that this is the future.

People will use bitcoin or sonething else when the new technology promises more than what we are using now, its that simple.what else should it be?

Every day, we get new people in this community, Bitcoin is such a great place in finance earnings. Social Engagements greatly affects its adoption level, where we can consider new projects for its success since it promotes blockchain and investment from BTC. Bitcoin is popular since resources are easy and secure in trading, people can benefit easily without a doubt.

I searched who ever that Christian Dekket is, I found none.

The tools he meant there could just be the stable coins we are now using or probably government backed crypto.
That graph right there says we are just too early for mass adoption which could be 50 years ahead of us.  Can't imagine what you could be with 1BTC after 50 years. 

A lot of year.
It aint the right time yet.
Worse part is there are too many coins that are being created and it might confuse a normal human who havent been to crypto and will be forced to use it because of a mandatory monetary change.
It will not be an easy jump.
A lot of paper works needs to be done and it needs the approval of the government and also the people if you are living in a democratic country.

That's simple truth and must be told. For now am not seeing mass adoption in respect to Bitcoin but what we have seen so far are early adoptors, there are still many individuals who doesn't have the ideas of operating a cell phone, many have not the technical known how to technologies and it will be very difficult for them to adopt Bitcoin. But the good thing is that, those.who have adopted Bitcoin are those who have the technical knowledge and more ofthis categories are adopting day after day. One thing is sure, Bitcoin will be in the hands of everyone in the nearest future.

We can't say for sure how long it's going to take almost everyone to use bitcoin. Some persons or group of persons just may never use bitcoin because of how rural their community is, and lack of basic technology to ease conversion of bitcoin to physical money so to speak. If the world government will be truth to themselves, we should see many world population using cryptocurrency. You know some persons allow the government to do the thinking and certify what is good and bad.

Bitcoin by itself is handicapped. Bitcoin community is often hand-waving the problem to some distant future: Adoption will happen at some point, in some form, but we don't know ::). Bitcoin is a Store of Value. It needs to pair with spending tokens. We need to experiment with better forms of spending tokens. I analyze the issue in my post: https://bitflate.org/post/2019/08/26/bitcoin-missing-link-to-the-world.html.

I think this is more apt in line with the current market condition.

We are definitely inside the chasm now. And yes, maybe it will take a longer time than you would expect.

As for me Bitcoin will be useful in a form of preserving value. It is inaccessible to unwanted third parties and it makes the coin truly valuable.

Mass adoption is not easy if you will do it naturally and let the human nature accepts the changes but if the government will interfere, im sure the process will become much faster. People will not have a choice and proceeds to changes.

Agreed with him. I think we need about 10 years.

Only if the government realize it and the openness of their minds to look of what crypto can do to the community. With there participation, it helps business owners to adopt crypto and to think for the safety assurance. Legality of Bitcoin makes people to give trust and only be possible if the government says something good about this.

Bitcoin will not have a mass adoption in less than 5 years imho. For a mass adoption institutional investors need to be more present on the market and this will take time, as most of them are still reticent about crypto.

Also, for mass adoption people should start to use Bitcoin as a currency, to buy and sell goods and services, not just holding or trading for speculation.

Since blockchain technology be used by many countries I'll doub it will happens. All human certainly will make a transaction in their daily life which mean they need money as tool of payment system. But, as you may know there is some countries who make their money using blockchain technology such china will make it happens.

So, my point here bitcoin won't be used by many people on this world until whenever as one a tool either to make payment system or as a tool for their incomes. Bitcoin is an alternative way for some people, and I don't have any idea for those people who believe that bitcoin will be use by all people as one of the place. This technology will grow up well and certainly there will be an innovation who can replace it.

The way Bitcoin adoption is going presently, most especially with Institutional and reputable companies coming it, it might be a digital currency of the future, but definitely the time will tell.

Bitcoin is becoming increasingly popular so it is not surprising that more companies are starting to adopt it

Bitcoin is still a controversy in every country. There are even some countries that strictly prohibit Bitcoin. So if you ask, when everyone can use Bitcoin? This may require a lengthy process and if Bitcoin is already illegal.

I think if everyone is using Bitcoin, of course I will always make a profit. This can be our hope in the future.

There is certainly an increasing trend in adoption of BTC. There is an increase in the number of banks, governments, and corporations in this process. That`s the bright side that we can count on it. However, as long as people continue to see BTC only for HODLing, the adoption could be resulted with failure. I think people need to use BTC actively in everyday life. That will definitely accelerate the process of adoption.

no one knows the right answer to that but as we are all entitled to say some opinion of our own.
For me we are no where near the mass adoption of bitcoin,Millions of people does not even know bitcoin so there is plenty of room for growth.
Unfortunately i believe in the idea of mass adoption means bitcoin having a stable value.
 

Anyone of us can make a statement on same pattern as what Christian’s says as to make positive thinking for crypto supporters but is that what will really happen?

We are in this market because we trust technology behind bitcoin(and alts as well)and looking for that time to happen is our biggest dreams

But adoption is not that easy specially in those countries that the government is not open on ho can crypto help them and this is one of the saddest part of being a cryptnians

This will take some time before this thing happen, here in our country, the people being narrow minded and hypocrites will be the problem. They will start questioning and doubting something even if they don't know what it is or what is the whole story all about, that is why also many of the people here in our country are easily getting scammed because obviously the don't want to do the work.

They wanted to earn a lot of money through bitcoin but they don't know how, so scammers who uses Ponzi schemes and bitcoin's name are always taking the chance to rob people's wallet in a very easy way.

Nobody can say with absolute certainty when this will happen but for as long as btc still exist, mass adoption will definately come, people will most likely use btc to transact, in the main time btc is taking one step at a time to achieve mass adoption, everyday we hear news of different company accepting btc, that's a sign of what will come in future.

Not much sure of 'ALL' people to use cryptocurrency. Just look at those countries that already banned cryptocurrency on their end. There could be no more all people. Probably, if there could be some miracle it could but the chances are low.

Mass adoption could be attained but all people might not be involved. The best thing to describe it is most people will use BTC.

Everyone may not use bitcoin but the world is going to go digital and bitcoin is going to be the may focal point. Not everyone definitly will be able to understand how bitcoin works, so there will still be some areas which will keep using the  fiat however in a limited form. We can't authoritatively say how soon this is going to happen, but we can be sure the future is no longer far.

If everyone uses Bitcoin they must have a wallet. Bitcoin has great potential to be developed. In everyday life Bitcoin has many uses. Especially now the digital era so that people at home can order goods or food online. Sehigga Bitcoin can be used as an online shopping payment.

But Bitcoin to date is not used for payment due to problems with regulations. Maybe in the future people will use Bitcoin for everyday life.

Yeah yeah, everyone will eventually get into the game and I think it's already happening. People have been using Bitcoin at a very good rate of late so I think the adoption is currently on its way happening. I believe since the number of Bitcoin users keep on growing each year, we'll get to the mass adoption stage one day.

It takes its time to mass adopt such an innovation, the mass first heard about bitcoin around 2 years ago, it's just the beginning. There's still room for improvement, quite obviously.

I agree, but fact is most people don't see, or rather said, understand the potential yet, I personally think that Bitcoin with its Blockchain is highly innovative, but many people of the "regular ;)" kind don't see issues in banks and centralization, at least yet it is so, also, I don't think that the Bitcoin in its state now is ready to withstand challenges of mass adoption, eg transaction fees and transactions per second. I see other cryptocurrencies further ahead compared to bitcoin, but none of them are perfect and certainly not ready to be massadopted. Only time will tell at this point.

Hopefully people will be using bitcoin in its advantage soon. Bitcoin is now even more popular especially that we are in the internet age and that all are becoming digital. With bitcoin, there will be more convenience and more fast and efficient transactions when it comes to money matters and we will be more responsible to manage our own money since we can keep it already in our own wallet.

Actually, Bitcoin is going the opposite direction in terms of popularity, it obviously attracts but certainly less than in the past. Just check Google Trends for example - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin . It's a tough time for the cryptomarket right now, sadly.

Bitcoin trends will definitely come back again, but we don't know when that will happen,
For example electric cars,
I still remember many countries rejecting electric cars a few years ago for reasons of security and lack of resources,
but now the electric car is becoming a trend.

the rapid changes in technology and the need for human efficiency will definitely make Bitcoin in mass adoption.

it's possible but in my opinion, bitcoin is still in the process of acceptance and before it happens it will need a few more years

We don't know yet when it will happen. But it could happen in a short time if the adoption process is growing fast in this year or next year so people will start to use bitcoin. Not just for making a transaction, but people will use bitcoin as the investment, and the possibility for bitcoin to be accepted in many countries still wide open.

When we can introduce bitcoin to the public, and they accept bitcoin for another source to make money, I think we don't need to wait too long to see bitcoin will be used for the transaction payment. So lets we spread the good news of bitcoin to the public so they can know that in this modern. And with the growth of technology, they will have another way that will help their life be better than before.

It really come soon...the positive looks of bitcoin will drive to better future of crypto. Perfectly it come into the moment where everyone using this either be local and online transactions. By making it possible, we need to spread good things abouts rather than keep seeing a bug risk in crypto or it only make losses.

We never expect for the fast and punctual approach towards crypto. Yes, we witness how it gains popularity but we can't deny that still a lot of question behind. Crypto development still ongoing and have to spread widely but the sad note is that many of us aren't able to enjoy it since some countries are opposing crypto and more worst they banned crypto totally.

We are moving in the right decision, everything you need to know about Bitcoin is here on the internet and especially on Youtube, in fact I have one guy asking me when I login in the internet cafe asking what is this Bitcoin, because there were a lot of commercial or ads about Bitcoin, everywhere in Youtube and on the internet.

I told him to just use the computer in front of him and Google what is Bitcoin, I was so busy then but I ask him to bookmark some important Bitcoin sites to gain more information about Bitcoin, I'm pretty sure more and more people are going to ask about Bitcoin.

I think the only thing that can pave way for mass adoption is when government approves the use of cryptocurrency generally which I know that in doing so, they will be specific on the coin that would really be supported, and when it comes to the most reliable coin that even government would always be in support of, it would be bitcoin.

It is when bitcoin is being pronounced legal that we can see mass adoption, and that is why there is need for the government to really be encouraged about the use of cryptocurrency, but unfortunately, scammers are sending a wring signal to the government, and some of them rather than seeing bitcoin as a proposed global currency, they are seeing it as scam, but I know that their perspective view of it will change one day and they will see the true picture of bitcoin and what it is.

I think that everyone understands that a full adoption and legalization of Bitcoin will never be never accepted among all countries. We can count on 50% of positive decision about BTC of all countries but 100% will never be

The application of Bitcoin to be know and be use worldwide, there will be much development on the technology before this will happen. The current status of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin has not been seen as the type that will give worldwide adoption we need, but the future of the industry will surely give mass adoption someday where bitcoin will be use with almost everything around us. We have seen  what 10, years have brought us, and another will give more adoption than the present.

No one knows how many years it is going to take for people to completely adopt bitcoin or other crypto currencies. In fact, crypto currencies might become absurd if something better comes out and replaces it. But I can assure you, we are slowly adopting bitcoin and the usage of crypto currencies. Look at how many online shops are popping up that accepts bitcoin. See how people are using the blockchain technology to develop new project which are helping us in numerous ways. The process of adoption is slow but noteworthy.

I think that in 2020 the number of people involved in crypto should grow significantly. I look from my own experience and see that over the past few years an incredible number of people have learned about crypto due to popularization in everyday life. In my opinion MASS ADOPTION OF BTC will become in 5 years

Looking at the current state of technology in the world's ecosystem,  its gonna take a while before Bitcoin will becomes a mainstream digital currency for mass adoption. It can be estimated that about 5% of the world's population is aware of the existence of Bitcoin and in order for mass adoption, the remaining 95% needs to be aware of it for mass adoption.

I think everyone talks about mass adoption and when it's going to happen. But lest we forgot, before we can go on that state, I believed that regulations should be put in the first place before people starts to use bitcoin around the world.

So far regulations is too gray and bleak at this point. Definitely, financial governing bodies have discussed it in this years G20 summit meeting. But without clear and concise regulatory framework this innovation might take years to take out and be recognize.

Gradually, Bitcoin will meet the mainstream adoption and there is clear indication looking at the yearly report on Bitcoin adoption every year since its inception. Now Bitcoin has dominated the crypto market to about 70% and this shows how popular Bitcoin has become. It has now become the crypto spectacle to all investors.

We just cannot say how many years exactly. It would be more of "it will take more time" before people, if not all, at least most of the population, will use cryptocurrencies. Though it is now somehow evident that there are already a number of people from all across the world who are using cryptos, there is still a lot to work on. I mean, the mass adoption of crypto still have a long road to take.

But, I think we can see positive news regarding crypto because there are more and more establishments which consider cryptocurrencies, especially btc, as a mode of payment for their services. If this continues, then our wait will soon be over for crypto's mass adoption.

We need to wait for Bitcoin to return to the $ 20,000 price level. Because that will create a new trending and we will know how much influence Bitcoin has. If Bitcoin can make a more significant impact than 2017, I believe that after 5 years Bitcoin can be popular worldwide.

I was also thinking it will bring positive energy in the market, reaching that price means BTC will have to make a new ATH and the market might be very lively that time since possible FOMO might also be created.

The question now is, when are we going to see that $20,000, this year we are already lucky BTC rise back to $10,000 so it's too much to expect a new ATH this year since we just started at $3K+ this year. $10,000 is a major recovery already but of course we cannot underestimate BTC, it could rise anytime that we will not see it coming.

I'm sure it takes its time to mass adopt such an innovation
