Title: What's stopping crypto from mass adoption?
Post by: TokenTuber on September 11, 2019, 09:10:27 AM
The crypto space is not very noob friendly: bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly; and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience. So, while everyone has heard about blockchain and bitcoin, people are not only unsure how to get started, they are also faced with these high barriers to entry.

TokenTuber’s mission is to lower the barriers to entry to the cryptocurrency space so that mass adoption of cryptocurrencies can be achieved. On TokenTuber you can learn and educate yourself on everything you need within the crypto space. We will hold your hand and guide you on your journey in the crypto world. Not only that, you can also earn your first cryptocurrency and trade it with absolutely no cost.

Hope you uploaded those videos on your site with the permission of the owners. I guess that is the right thing to do considering that you aim to make money from them with your native token.

Well, I think easy-to-understand information is very important for Bitcoin adoption. If most people learn that using Bitcoin is safe, easy, fast, and very useful, they will likely start using it.

I agree that cryptocurrencies are still pretty difficult for newcomers, they need to understand how to create a wallet, how to store it in safe place, how to buy it and how to send it. But with upcoming custody services I believe that cryptocurrencies will become more adopted.

check this scenario:

Mr A owns a store where he sells groceries. B, is a customer. He comes in and purchases groceries worth $200. B wants to pay in Eth and Mr A agrees and he receives $200 worth of Eth as payment from B. 30 minutes later, that $200 worth of Eth is now valued at $175 based on current exchange pricing. In other words, Mr A, just made a loss in sales. Next time, he won't be too keen on receiving payments in Eth again.

Fix this volatility issue first and watch as adoption grows massively

Categorically there are many factors that out play the use or mass adoption of cryptocurrency. Until we have resolve these issues within the industry,  mass adoption will be difficult for the industry. Regulations should be simplify to help the common man from be scam, educate the masses on how to manimize lost and how to protect against intruders while using the web wallets.

I beg to differ. The crypto space is actually very noob friendly. Bitcoin and blockchain, both of them are not as complex as you think. The basics are very simple. You don't need to know in depth to how the technology works in order to use it. Using bitcoin is the same as using paypal. You need to make a payment? Just enter the wallet address of the user instead of his email address like you would when making a payment with paypal. Our computer is a very complex instrument. But as long as we know the basics we will be able to operate it. We don't need to know how it works in order to operate it. The same thing goes for bitcoin. You don't need to know how it works to use it.

Yeah, when I see what kind of people are actually able to use crypto, I would also think it's pretty noob-friendly.
I have friends who are the most technically inept people you'd ever meet, yet they can easily work with many different cryptocurrencies.

Sure, they run into problems occasionally, especially regarding fees with Bitcoin (back when the mempool was full), but after explaining it to them they did seem to get it eventually.

Some of the people I've introduced to crypto and especially Bitcoin have complained about transactions taking a while to 'process' or confirm, but that's really the main complaint I've noticed. Most wallets nowadays are also very simple to understand and are very well documented, much better than how it was in 2014 when I really started to gain an interest in crypto. We've sure come a long way from then.

Some points mentioned here like the high level of scam associated to crypto and other factors like not able to trace and retrieve funds when lost are truly retarding crypto from mass adoption.  Other vital issues are scalability issues, issue of hacks and meeting up with regulations.  We have a long way to go before mass adoption can be met.

He's not putting the videos on his site but linking to the original ones on youtube. Isn't that legal? It gives credit and money to original authors because whenever you click on the video you're boosting views for the author.

If he downloaded the videos and made them play on his site it would be a different thing but this way it looks legal and fair.

Well, I commend you for creating this kind of video site where you link several tutorial videos in order for the viewers to know more about cryptocurrency.  It seems you are planning to pay viewers with your token that is another good thing if implemented.

Some points mentioned here like the high level of scam associated to crypto and other factors like not able to trace and retrieve funds when lost are truly retarding crypto from mass adoption.  Other vital issues are scalability issues, issue of hacks and meeting up with regulations.  We have a long way to go before mass adoption can be met.

I believe several altcoins had already addressed this scalability issue, though I also agree that we have a long way to go before we can see this mass adoption we dream of  because of several government banning crypto, and majority of the nation are not yet prepared for cryptocurrency implementation or they just don't pay attention to it.

I strongly believe mass adoption of crypto will happen but depends a great deal on implementation of regulations and the completely participation of world heavyweight economies. Once these factors are achieved and publicly declared, it will be lead to a geometric adoption and usage of the crypto technology. Crypto has tremendous potentials and only needs a small push in order to achieve its true strength.

I think more people are really not know the existence of crypto currencies because it has no physical appearance so they think it is a form of scam. But I believe in the near future more people will probably adopt what is the advantage having a crypto they will realize how valuable it is.

Very interesting thought. I agree with you. The most important thing to understand the main points how to interact with crypto and then there will be no problems. If anyone is interested in how it works, he can easily figure it out and it just makes it a step above the rest of the users.

You have done a great work, but however I do think the crypto is to a level noob friendly, the only thing required to get started is actually to get started because there are different informations to help one kick start a good journey. This forum is here to help, there are some interesting informations on YouTube etc. On the other hand, on the issue of mass adoption, one of the issues limiting is scalabilty of the blockchain which involves speed and so on; although different steps have been taken but we need more hands on deck. Mass adoption will take place but we need to get it right by focusing on projects with great concepts.

Even the majority of exchange sites have been creating a guide to the new users to understand how crypto works and that's even a complete guide and i think your idea is not a good idea. I just try to imagine how you can compete with an active and popular exchange site.
If you don't wanna need to know deep about crypto and then you just try to know the basic like send, receive and store. that's enough for a newbie.
crypto is not a difficult thing like what you have explained. If someone wanna know and just read thousands article on internet about that.

Post by: jozymens7 on September 11, 2019, 11:34:12 PM
One major reason is the higher fluctuation rates that occur in the crypto industry. Your 10K can become less than 7K in less than an hours which is very pathetic and won't happen in the real world that we all know so when people see this, they do lose interest in accepting crypto.
Another factor is governmental organizations saying things to pollute the people from accepting crypto. They are know crypto is the best but they do not want to tell the truth about it and they keep beating about the bush concerning crypto matters.

Those who came onboard to the crypto space at first knew almost nothing about cryptocurrency, let alone knowing about the technology behind it, block chain. So in one way or the other, people still get the information needed.
From personal experience, I was a noobs when I came onboard, but I still  managed to get to where I am now without any special aid.
So @OP, how do you intend to make it simpler, for other to know and understand better.

I think for mass adoption, government who not let people to use it as currency with their regulations. We know for some countries, government make it illegal and even hold bitcoin is a crime, in the other side, mass adoption need regulation that can let people at least hold bitcoin or maybe make it as currency. Maybe if in future government change their mind and let people to do that, mass adoption can be possible.

When i read your post, the first paragraph has a good point but at the end of your post I realized it is some kind of shilling.  ;D

Anyway, back to the topic.

Actually, mass adoption is starting. It's just that blockchain technology is really hard to understand by the people who are not that interested to acquire new technologies like this. We can see the development of bitcoin but there are still so many people that are not aware of how can it be used, how it works and how can it become the new payment method.

Thus, in a positive side, it is being known and the name is starting to become popular. The convenience given by this technology is great and businesses tend to started to accept bitcoin payments. It makes the mass adoption to continue.

Maybe the volatility will be the problem for the mass adoption because people are afraid to pay with cryptocurrency, especially if the price is down after they receive the payment. But we have so many options of coins that we can use as the payment. We can use bitcoin, eth,  ltc, or even usdt and usdc, which will be more stable than the other coins.

Maybe that is why we need the stable coin so that we can exchange the bitcoin or the altcoin into the stable coin, and we can pay using that coin. Actually, we don't have to be afraid about the volatility because cryptocurrency can help us to prevent the volatility by using the stable coins. But the problem is people don't want to learn about how to use cryptocurrency with properly.

Sounds like Youtube to me.  ;D

I haven't opened the website yet but what else could we see here?
Maybe more information in text could also help.
Not all will just open a link because of too many phishing and hacks that are happening. Just an opinion though and maybe it could also boost with what you needed.

If it could really help for mass adoption then why not.

bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly;

This I dont believe. I got in to bitcoin and understood it quickly. The basics are really easy.
You dont really need to go deep if you are not a miner or someone who will program it anything like that.
Just the mere basic knowledge will do.

and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience.

This though is true. I saw a lot of ICO's getting messed up and also different exchange which makes it look like a hack but truthfully it could be an inside job.
The mistake of sending coins though is an error of someone who doesn't follow instructions. I do triple checks before I do it. Simply because it will be my money that will be lost.

In my opinion, the main problems, which are the main obstacles to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency by states, are that cryptocurrency is relatively anonymous and cannot be controlled by governments. If not for this, states would have long ago legalized cryptocurrencies in their homeland. However, this process has been going on so far and many states are still pondering what to do with it. It’s good that the G-7 and European Union states have decided that cryptocurrency does not pose any threat to global financial stability. Therefore, it was simply allowed to be used as an alternative means of payment.

What do you mean by global partners? does this means you are looking for investors? I looked unto your website and if it doesn't mean investors.

Are you looking for contributors?

What we mean is not investor, more like contributors to spread the word and form a larger community, and we would love to reward these people for their contributions. It can be in many forms, maybe someone can spread the word with creating a video about this movement or another can put a tweet about this vision limit is sky, and later on we will make sure every single contribution is rewarded well.

Fix this volatility issue first and watch as adoption grows massively

Love your example up there, yes volatility definitely is major problem in front of mass adoption, however do keep in mind in investment there is correlation called High Risk = High Profit , which is the main reason why so many people are investing in very volatile and risky assets, why he does that? because he knows he might also make lots of profit as well as he can lose all his money. In your example when Mr.A agrees to get paid in ETH probably he also knows that his 200 $ worth ETH could be 250 $ tomorrow. So my point is yes if you could reduce volatility it would be nice thing but as it is not feasible, other more feasible option is to inform people how much they can also gain if they play the game right and that playing the game right part comes with proper education before trading or doing anything with blockchain.

You don't need to know in depth to how the technology works in order to use it. Using bitcoin is the same as using paypal. You need to make a payment? Just enter the wallet address of the user instead of his email address like you would when making a payment with paypal. Our computer is a very complex instrument.

You don't need to know how it works to use it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us here, there are points where we agree with you, yes you don't have to be genius to operate the basic money transferring systems but believable us there are many out there who has no clue how to that. Also your perception of blockchain is seems very limited a tool which you can make payments with. I say this because of your paypal example, but we believe there is much more potential for blockchain rather then just a payment tool. Again you are not wrong it is also behaving as a payment solution or an investment security these are true. But there are other parts like smart contracts which allows so many possibilities for many different industries then there are other projects DApss and much more. Yes, Bitcoin is the front end of these all for now but with mass adoption of blockchain technology, not just bitcoin is going to be there solving the payment problems with blockchain technology, there will thousands of other solutions for different needs. And to achieve this goal that is why need to learn it well, study it well so we can improve it. Some may still need to learn how to make simple transaction but others will come learn how to create a new future.

I explained the broader image on the reply above, so you can see why it is more than simple transactions. But also keep in mind that not everyone has a friend who can show a way to solve their crypto related problems. That is precisely the reason why we have started this initiative.

We've sure come a long way from then.

Very important points you have mentioned, KYC and processing time these are definitely has to improve and yes crypto space came a long way and improved many aspects along the way and it is becoming more and more user friendly. We are hoping to boost this positive change with our initiative, we would like to make every person ready with in 1 day whether they are interested in trading or developing other technologies using blockchain.

Some points mentioned here like the high level of scam associated to crypto and other factors like not able to trace and retrieve funds when lost are truly retarding crypto from mass adoption.  Other vital issues are scalability issues, issue of hacks and meeting up with regulations.  We have a long way to go before mass adoption can be met.

Yes there are some practical problems which can be avoided by with proper training and education which is what we are trying to achieve and there are other core fundamental problems like you mentioned we believe these will be resolved with time too, as more and more people puts their minds together to tackle these issues one way or another there will be a solution.

Hope you uploaded those videos on your site with the permission of the owners. I guess that is the right thing to do considering that you aim to make money from them with your native token.

Well, I think easy-to-understand information is very important for Bitcoin adoption. If most people learn that using Bitcoin is safe, easy, fast, and very useful, they will likely start using it.

He's not putting the videos on his site but linking to the original ones on youtube. Isn't that legal? It gives credit and money to original authors because whenever you click on the video you're boosting views for the author.

If he downloaded the videos and made them play on his site it would be a different thing but this way it looks legal and fair.

Yes, precisely we compile them using the original hyperlinks from original sources.

Well, I commend you for creating this kind of video site where you link several tutorial videos in order for the viewers to know more about cryptocurrency.  It seems you are planning to pay viewers with your token that is another good thing if implemented.

Some points mentioned here like the high level of scam associated to crypto and other factors like not able to trace and retrieve funds when lost are truly retarding crypto from mass adoption.  Other vital issues are scalability issues, issue of hacks and meeting up with regulations.  We have a long way to go before mass adoption can be met.

I believe several altcoins had already addressed this scalability issue, though I also agree that we have a long way to go before we can see this mass adoption we dream of  because of several government banning crypto, and majority of the nation are not yet prepared for cryptocurrency implementation or they just don't pay attention to it.  

Thanks for your kind words. We are improving our system everyday for now we are just compiling various quality videos and putting them in order so beginner can watch, more features we will be soon implemented like quiz after watching video sequences with a reward attached to it, and course title including different videos focusing on certain level or topic and many more to come.

On the token side,this feature already active and users are already earning tokens for their upvotes and some other contributions; more other options are going to be added to encourage people to learn.

You have done a great work, but however I do think the crypto is to a level noob friendly, the only thing required to get started is actually to get started because there are different informations to help one kick start a good journey. This forum is here to help, there are some interesting informations on YouTube etc. On the other hand, on the issue of mass adoption, one of the issues limiting is scalabilty of the blockchain which involves speed and so on; although different steps have been taken but we need more hands on deck. Mass adoption will take place but we need to get it right by focusing on projects with great concepts.

Thank you for your compliments, we do agree there are resources available out there if you want to learn from scratch. However, how organized and reachable these sources is another question. Even if you take this forum, finding the right information among thousands of threads is a big time consuming challenge. On the YouTube side yes there are many videos but can you tell which are really there to guide  and which are there  to sell you some project. Most of the influencers are willing to say anything about any project as soon as they are paid well. As you can see the waters are not very crystal clear when it is come to learning and to clear these waters we would like to function like a filter so we can gather quality contents with people who needs these contents.

In my opinion, the main problems, which are the main obstacles to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency by states, are that cryptocurrency is relatively anonymous and cannot be controlled by governments. If not for this, states would have long ago legalized cryptocurrencies in their homeland. However, this process has been going on so far and many states are still pondering what to do with it. It’s good that the G-7 and European Union states have decided that cryptocurrency does not pose any threat to global financial stability. Therefore, it was simply allowed to be used as an alternative means of payment.

precisely in my country in central asia, that the policy in my country there is no prohibition on investing in digital currencies but the risk itself, considering that digital currency has not found a bright spot on security and that is also one of the reasons that hinder the legality in my country or consideration for making it a government financial asset.

Even the majority of exchange sites have been creating a guide to the new users to understand how crypto works and that's even a complete guide and i think your idea is not a good idea. I just try to imagine how you can compete with an active and popular exchange site.
If you don't wanna need to know deep about crypto and then you just try to know the basic like send, receive and store. that's enough for a newbie.
crypto is not a difficult thing like what you have explained. If someone wanna know and just read thousands article on internet about that.

First of all thank you for sharing your opinion with us here, we are aware that there are many guides and some of these guides are right on exchange websites. These guides can provide information on performing basic actions which are still a good thing and we support that but their ultimate goal is to pull you on their exchange so they can make some extra income from you too. Again we are not saying what they do is bad thing it is a business model and if it helps people and also help to spread the word as well then it is win win situation for everyone both for exchanges and our community. However, when we talk about blockchain as you probably already know the concept is much more broader than just some simple actions you perform on exchanges. There is something called mining, then smart contracts then dapss and then on the trader site there technical analysis and much more. When you look at the situation not just from the trading perspective but little more broader you will see the lack of tools or guides and that is the paint point we would like to tackle.

Those who came onboard to the crypto space at first knew almost nothing about cryptocurrency, let alone knowing about the technology behind it, block chain. So in one way or the other, people still get the information needed.
From personal experience, I was a noobs when I came onboard, but I still  managed to get to where I am now without any special aid.
So @OP, how do you intend to make it simpler, for other to know and understand better.

We do agree with you on, it is possible to make a start from scratch without an aid from outside now and even back then, but real question here is, how time consuming and how difficult is the process? If you want something to get mass adopted you need to make it user friendly less time consuming, you can see this case in many different industries and with many different technologies. So our aim is to not create something that is not existing we would like reshape and make it more user friendly and faster process.

How do we want to achieve this? First of all lets look at main issues making this learning process longer and difficult.

a) There are too many sources available, which thread should I check in bitcoin talk forum to find what i need?

b) Reliability of the source, was this guide written with the intention of teaching something or just to promote project X.

c) Way we deliver the information, what are we using to deliver to information is it a 2 hours long article?

d) Lack of incentives to encourage learning.

We looked at each of these problems then we said we have to create platform where information must be filtered (Problem a) from the sources which we can trust (problem b) and it needs to be in a form where people quickly can grasp the information  (problem c) and we have to put great rewards to encourage learning (Problem d) and at the end we came up with TokenTuber. A curated video platform exclusively featuring crypto related video content with a built in token economy. Curated part helps us to filter videos and after finding the quality videos we add these videos in to our course titles such as "Beginner" " Bitcoin" etc. each course title comes with videos in a special order so you don't jump from one topic to another, later we evaluate each video and make sure video that goes under these course titles are from reliable sources and lastly we reward contribution and learning by rewarding users with our tokens for their actions.

When i read your post, the first paragraph has a good point but at the end of your post I realized it is some kind of shilling.  ;D

Anyway, back to the topic.

Actually, mass adoption is starting. It's just that blockchain technology is really hard to understand by the people who are not that interested to acquire new technologies like this. We can see the development of bitcoin but there are still so many people that are not aware of how can it be used, how it works and how can it become the new payment method.

Thus, in a positive side, it is being known and the name is starting to become popular. The convenience given by this technology is great and businesses tend to started to accept bitcoin payments. It makes the mass adoption to continue.

Thank you for your great insights, We felt like we need to comment on the shilling part, we have a goal which we detailed in the OP, and we know that we alone can't achieve this goal alone, this can only be achieved with a great community backing you up, and for this very reason we are looking for contributors and we wanted to mention it on our post. Because one we have you guys on board we believe we can achieve our goal which is everyone is goal in this community.

Maybe the volatility will be the problem for the mass adoption because people are afraid to pay with cryptocurrency, especially if the price is down after they receive the payment. But we have so many options of coins that we can use as the payment. We can use bitcoin, eth,  ltc, or even usdt and usdc, which will be more stable than the other coins.

Maybe that is why we need the stable coin so that we can exchange the bitcoin or the altcoin into the stable coin, and we can pay using that coin. Actually, we don't have to be afraid about the volatility because cryptocurrency can help us to prevent the volatility by using the stable coins. But the problem is people don't want to learn about how to use cryptocurrency with properly.

You give us a great idea by mentioning "Stable Coins". Because you are right many beginners are complaining about volatility issue and stable coins are there to tackle this very problem, we should definitely focus on this topic more and find reliable sources and include these on our platform to educate new comers about volatility issue.  thanks

Sounds like Youtube to me.  ;D

I haven't opened the website yet but what else could we see here?
Maybe more information in text could also help.
Not all will just open a link because of too many phishing and hacks that are happening. Just an opinion though and maybe it could also boost with what you needed.

If it could really help for mass adoption then why not.

Yes we have some similarities with YouTube like we both feature videos, but we are not really here to compete with YouTube, more we behave as an extension to YouTube. let me explain

First of all we only feature crypto exclusive content and we are a curated video platform which means every video content here goes through some sort of filtration. 

By doing this we simplify and shorten the life a of a beginner who is trying to learn from YouTube. You can imagine hustle of finding the right sources among millions of content.

Also we classify quality videos under course titles and but them in a order, so you can learn everything in that topic in order without jumping from one end to another.

To add even more value on top of a video platform soon we will be implementing quizs where users can test their knowledge at the end of course completion. And not leave it there but we give you rewards to encourage you to learn more, ohh did you complete quiz with a 9/10 score here is your x token as a reward or another example would be, you upvoted a video and help us find those quality videos here X Token for your contribution.

Do you still think it is another YouTube? ;D

Because the number reason of very slow mass adoption of crypto is lack of knowledge so they will easily believe about negative feedbacks and news about crypto.

In fact, states are afraid that Bitcoin will take their money for themselves and that no one else will use the dollar or other national currency. But at the same time, we see how bitcoin is slowly entering our lives.
Without approval from the government we will be in danger to use cryptos so mass adoption might not happen if people waiting to for the approval from governments but USA regulated it as an asset so when people pay taxes to it there is no danger in working but many places yet to come to accept it as payment mode.

The reality is like only a few portion of the population of the world know cryptocurrency. As a result, they do not know how to open wallet, buy and trade coins and what is the importance of cryptocurrency. Given these facts, cryptocurrency has a long way to go before being adopted fully. It takes time for cryptocurrency to be adopted fully.

Government doesn't let cryptocurrencies for transactions because it will replace fiat money and it is very diffficult to replace it because it will take a lot longer and more money to establish and make it global. Another reason why government doesn't let cryptocurrencies because of it's riskiness cause by the volatility of its price and it will soon cause problems to those users.

I agree that cryptocurrencies are still pretty difficult for newcomers, they need to understand how to create a wallet, how to store it in safe place, how to buy it and how to send it. But with upcoming custody services I believe that cryptocurrencies will become more adopted.
The mistake of sending coin to another wrong address is not even the problem now and I don't see it as what is urgent that needs to be address, the thing that is killing cryptocurrency is scammers, and that has nothing to do with knowledge or dictating one on it, the only way to avoid being scammed is to eliminate the scammers form the market, and that is what I feel we need to have our focus on, and if any company is really interested in sanitizing the cryptocurrency industry and making it a better place, there is need for them to look for solution to the scam and proffer it to the public.

Most people that turned advanced in using cryptocurrency now were once a newbie also, and majority of them learnt the space on their own, but handling scammers is now the problem because even pro users of crypto fall for them.

We definitely can't stop these scamming activities surround us. We did our part to hold them but how about the others? Are they doing good to stop them? It maybe not or they just let it happens with them. That is a really sad story, in fact, more of us never learn from it.

What I'd like to say is that it is not only the scamming issues holds for crypto mass adoption but also because of the people's perceptions towards crypto. With all the negatives and bad news that they were heard is something giving them bad interpretation and doubts.

The crypto space is not very noob friendly: bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly; and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience. So, while everyone has heard about blockchain and bitcoin, people are not only unsure how to get started, they are also faced with these high barriers to entry.

TokenTuber’s mission is to lower the barriers to entry to the cryptocurrency space so that mass adoption of cryptocurrencies can be achieved. On TokenTuber you can learn and educate yourself on everything you need within the crypto space. We will hold your hand and guide you on your journey in the crypto world.

I agree that Cryptocurrency is not very noob friendly but there are a lot of developers that can make things easy for these newbies and noobs to fully understand how Cryptocurrency works, you don't need to study how to code to learn how to use Crypto.

Developers are trying to set up method tools and applications that will make things like you are just withdrawing cash from an ATM and you are sending funds like when you are sending cash using your credit card.

Soon we will have these options. By the way, I like your site it is indeed for newbies in Cryptos

Bringing crypto and all its activities to the common man or making the knowledge of crypto easily accessible by all and sundry; that's a nice concept and agrees with the saying that knowledge is power, therefore if majority of people will understand the idea of blockchain and cryptocurrency easily will lead to mass adoption. Also, on the other hand, I think in addition to making crypto related information easily accessible, it is worthy to make the blockchain scalable so that there will be faster transaction confirmation etc thereby challenging status quo; carrying out a transaction and waiting for long for confirmation isn't a good thing.

Educating the masses will take a lot of efforts you're left with one option which is to make the masses interested into learning cryptocurrency if you are really trying to  make people adopt the use of cryptocurrencies. However I do have different opinon, the only thing that stopping crypto from mass adoption is the lack of regulation. Although cryptocurrencies is all about freedom but old people tend to be afraid of something that are not officially recognized by the government or the country they resides in.

check this scenario:

Mr A owns a store where he sells groceries. B, is a customer. He comes in and purchases groceries worth $200. B wants to pay in Eth and Mr A agrees and he receives $200 worth of Eth as payment from B. 30 minutes later, that $200 worth of Eth is now valued at $175 based on current exchange pricing. In other words, Mr A, just made a loss in sales. Next time, he won't be too keen on receiving payments in Eth again.

Fix this volatility issue first and watch as adoption grows massively

As regards fixing the issue, there should be a mechanism that converts the Ethereum recieved by the store owner to stable coin immediately on receipt to avoid loss of value(based on store owner's preference). With that been said, the perpetual hack and fraud incidents in crypto is also a major displeasing factor why adoption stalls

But so far, I think we are lack of giving information about crypto in many countries, so many people still don't know the existence of the cryptocurrency itself. If there are many people who already involved in the crypto world can spread the news about crypto in out there, I think that will attract more people to involve and join with crypto itself. I am sure people now become smart about something new, and they will search from the other source.

The main reason why cryptocurrency is not yet accepted worldwide is because of its volatility, businesses won't agreed on accepting payments that would decline in value in just a minute. Until crypto prices become stable that's the time mass adoption would happen.

Doing more advertising not only inside crypto related sites but also with other business related places will bring interest to it's viewers, afterwards it will also allow people to come inside and begin to learn things around this industry. Learning the deeper part of this market gives many people the chance to adopt and embrace crypto currency.

as we know that the crypto market is very volatile and the risk is always there. this is a real challenge.

I would say that there are 2 areas that is somehow slowing down mass adoption. 1st one would be companies/big players in the market. I can't really blame them but they're not yet seeing the benefits that they can get by utilizing blockchain/crypto into their system. There are startups that are using crypto as a reward system (http://apm-coin.com/?utm_source=lx) in their payment platform which would open the public eye into knowing more about cryptocurrency as a whole.

Second one would be the Government, simple things like them banning it from their country may spark the curiosity of the people but of course, they can't contribute to adoption since they can't own one.

I would say that there are 2 areas that is somehow slowing down mass adoption. 1st one would be companies/big players in the market. I can't really blame them but they're not yet seeing the benefits that they can get by utilizing blockchain/crypto into their system. There are startups that are using crypto as a reward system (http://apm-coin.com/?utm_source=lx) in their payment platform which would open the public eye into knowing more about cryptocurrency as a whole.

Second one would be the Government, simple things like them banning it from their country may spark the curiosity of the people but of course, they can't contribute to adoption since they can't own one.

India was proposing the ban of cryptocurrency and going against that may result to jail time. As for the companies, there are big ones like AT&T, Walmart, etc. that are already making its moves by making their own coin or accept crypto as one of their payment methods to millions of their customers. We just needed more of the key players to start using crypto and promote it, together with known people in the different areas.

The answer is regulation, if regulation comes alive in crypto world we will see huge mass adoption all over the world but i think some coins will be affected, coins that are been built for decentralized purposes and privacy coins also

This question is too easy to answer. Since there is no regulations, people are scarred of easily getting scammed. In a way thats true. Thats why we need regulations in place for getting some trust and then mass adaptation will happen.

I agree that using cryptocurrency is not as user friendly as using mobile wallets or Paypal. But it is not rocket science either. If the noobs could spend 10 or 20 minutes in learning about the wallets and transactions, then they can get comfortable with the basics. But the problem is that some of these lazy guys don't want to do that. And then they complain that it is very difficult to use cryptocurrency.

I think that's one of the limitations of cryptocurrency. There are people who aren't capable of learning such things. Since unlike fiat, it's in digital, people who are not really good at technologies specially older ones, it's hard for them to learn crypto. Also the people from rural areas. Crypto is also not for people who are afraid of risk. It's one of the reason why crypto can't have mass adoption. Aside from the government, who's stopping or regulating crypto.

Fully banning is not something that is done by all nations like people assume it is, fully banning doesn't happen to exist except few places, hell even China who looks like the most anti-crypo country in the world looks like they are just banning certain stuff regarding crypto, yes you can't join ICO's and yes you can't mine bitcoin but at the end of the day you can buy bitcoin even in china, you can spend it and you can cash it out, they are just limiting it heavily not banning it. That is why governments are not the trouble when it comes to mass adoption.

The problem arises from people not being able to spend it on regular stuff, I can't go to grocery store and buy a carton of milk with crypto, maybe there are like less than 10 shops all globally that we can do it, we need all places to start accepting it, then we will have mass adoption because people would be able to use it.

In my opinion, the strategy that could help people adopt blockchain technology and crypto trading would be making an effort to educate the masses about this technology. People will only adopt something that they have a full understanding of. Campaigns and advertising the technology on social media platforms where most people are participants would go a huge mile in helping the adoption of crypto.
You made a very good point. Educating the people about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency will facilitate mass adoption. However, through my experience in crypto space, I've come to realise that self-taught or self-education is the key to have a full knowledge of blockchain which is always bred by love for the tech. Educating people should be in a way to awake the interest in people and from there, these individuals can carry on personally.

because most for now many platforms that provide a promotion that is so interesting and seem to be able to help all the problems in the crypto world. but apparently they only want personal information from visitors to be sold by them. or sometimes they look for target visitors so that these targets can be met which will then bring benefits to the platform development team.

Hey we do understand your concern regarding trust, because we also have seen soo many scam and profit only minded projects tearing crypto space. However, if you only spend five minutes on our platform again dont register just have a look, you can clearly see our aim is nothing like that, we would like to grow this community and again we are not solution every problem of crypto space we are only tackling one of them which we think is quite important and that is educating new comers, adopters to give them better crypto space experience.

The truth be told. There are so many people coming up with scam project just to make money and just disappear with money. This really tarnish the image of the crypto world. In reality bad thing spread faster than the the good news and this will scare people away and mass adoption is far from archiving.

You definitely have good points here, but think about this why those people are getting scammed at first point? Probably you will find out that they didnt study well before acting, education here is very important if they first research and learn they give decision you will see rate of people getting scam will sharply decline. Because all scam projects follow the same similar patterns not that hard to see once you are educated enough.

The crypto space is not very noob friendly: bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly; and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience. So, while everyone has heard about blockchain and bitcoin, people are not only unsure how to get started, they are also faced with these high barriers to entry.

TokenTuber’s mission is to lower the barriers to entry to the cryptocurrency space so that mass adoption of cryptocurrencies can be achieved. On TokenTuber you can learn and educate yourself on everything you need within the crypto space. We will hold your hand and guide you on your journey in the crypto world. Not only that, you can also earn your first cryptocurrency and trade it with absolutely no cost.

I agree that Cryptocurrency is not very noob friendly but there are a lot of developers that can make things easy for these newbies and noobs to fully understand how Cryptocurrency works, you don't need to study how to code to learn how to use Crypto.

Developers are trying to set up method tools and applications that will make things like you are just withdrawing cash from an ATM and you are sending funds like when you are sending cash using your credit card.

Soon we will have these options. By the way, I like your site it is indeed for newbies in Cryptos

We agree with you, as things get easier for people mass adoption will be much easier to achieve. The part we are trying make easy to entrance to crypto space and learning phase. Thanks for your good comments. We do really need the support of our community make a difference.

Educating the masses will take a lot of efforts you're left with one option which is to make the masses interested into learning cryptocurrency if you are really trying to  make people adopt the use of cryptocurrencies. However I do have different opinon, the only thing that stopping crypto from mass adoption is the lack of regulation. Although cryptocurrencies is all about freedom but old people tend to be afraid of something that are not officially recognized by the government or the country they resides in.

The one point you have mentioned is worth mentioning which is "make the masses interested into learning cryptocurrency" that is one of the aspecs we focus the most these days. We asked this question to our selves and said how can we make an average person be interested in crypto and our first initiative was an interactive crypto quiz which you can see here https://www.tokentuber.com/quiz (https://www.tokentuber.com/quiz), we already created quite buzz with it, seems we are getting people interested.

That is good. When people became educated about crpyto they will easily learn and adopt about crypto world. Because the number reason of very slow mass adoption of crypto is lack of knowledge so they will easily believe about negative feedbacks and news about crypto. If they have enough knowledge nothing will stop their desire to invest and use crypto.

Yeps. Lack of knowledge, as we only have awareness from people. There are quite few people that has knowledge in crypto. I won't call myself knowledgeable enough, and I'll also exclude the dev behind every single crypto coins we know. I would be fascinated if there would be study of Blockchain and crypto in Information Technology and Business courses offered in universities. There's only few country that offers that study, and because of that most of other people just seemed to self-study.

On education side of things, we are hoping to soon launch course titles which are free of charge so new comers can actually pick topics and learn related to those specific topics just like school system.

Yes self education is the way, actually if you check our platform you will see that it is not a video course platform where you pay for guy who is teaching you with a video, it is more like self education portal where you can find all crypto related resources already found for you and organised in order so you dont jump topic to topic and get lost, by doing that we basically help you self learn first easier and then faster.

Like compound,MakerDAO,these DeFi try,it's a good signal to get mass users and solved these unbanked ppl problem.

For other coins,only a few provide innovate tech,and also need more time to get bigger,the other copy hats just need time to die and disappear.

There are no such as things as noob friendly. Every veteran, expert, and wizard have to start somewhere. There is no one who starts from 5, everyone starts from zero. Blockchain and crypto are a bit complicated but, just like everything else, it could be learned.

The stopping factor of crypto mass adoption is not its being complicated actually. It is the volatile price, the transaction fee which remains a bit high until today, the confirmation time, the lack of internet in some areas, the lack of legal support or regulation from the authorities, and so on.

The main problem that hinders the adoption of crypto into society is the government. Because it is their policy that determines whether or not crypto can be used in their country. But it seems the community has begun to open up to the development of the times especially in the crypto world. Just give them profits so they will gradually accept the crypto itself because the reason can generate additional money.

That is because we start from the scratch that makes cryptocurrency less friendly for the noobs, it is like you are being told to speak fluently while you never learn about it at all.
cryptocurrency is complicated because of its complexity in using various resources to connect and store it,
not only we need an internet connection, we also need to have a basic understanding of computer technology to use it. Not all of us in this world have learned it all.

The idea is great knowing that not all were able to fully understand how the crypto currencies work and many newbies lost their fund by simply sending their funds to incorrect wallet.

In my own opinion,  mass adoption is already started. Many people are now begin to get interested with crypto and blockchain the only thing that blocking full adoption is the Government. Yes this is quite a threat to alot of sector even banks, financial institution and the authority. If mass adoption happened globally this bank will tremble in nervous afraid that the people might choose this as an option and stay away from them. That's why SEC is very hot right now, crypto is like an epidemic globally spreading fast.

Government authority has no proper information towards cryptocurrency that's why they can't decide how to implement this type of currency on our daily life. Our community is now well feed with crypto adoption mindset, as it has provided them with a lot of opportunities. Some bad news create speculative thoughts, and panic usually happens in an unexpected time that's why mass adoption was too hard to obtain for now.

I think the one and only reason for adoption going slower and slower these days, is the most important feature of cryptocurrency.
It's the design of the system itself and there is virtually nothing that can be done in order to fix it.
People have to realise that this feature, I'm talking about, is absolutely necessary, crucial and there is no escape from it. This is what makes the game worth playing, real game changer. One word; irreversibility.  
Knowledge and education about regular financial systems is the key here. Moment majority recognises how they are being secretly robed of their work by inflation driven by fractional reserve, they will rethink dangers of irreversible transactions, rethink and accept the responsibility that always comes with true freedom. Bitcoin and crypto in general are not designed as nanny systems, those are for slaves and slaves alone, crypto is not.

Scam projects and scammers are what made investors move away from crypto during its heyday back in 2017, 2018. The blockchain and crypto technology are now being picked up by major companies in the space and they do see the importance of incorporating it into their existing system but people and projects who are doing exit scams are what's tarnishing the future that we're all trying to build. One of the big ones last 2018 was Karatbars (https://www.coindesk.com/gold-backed-crypto-tokens-promoter-investigated-by-florida-regulators?utm_source=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coindesk.com%2Fgold-backed-crypto-tokens-promoter-investigated-by-florida-regulators%3Dlx), their CEO admitted to the court that the tokens they gave out has no value/utility and got delisted on CMC and everywhere. They had successful funding and a huge amount of investors but they're all a goner due to the team scamming them.

I don't think anything is stopping crypto from mass adoption and I doubt very much anything will. It just needs time like with everything out there.
I think crypto is user friends, it just needs to be implemented in a foolproof way so people do not make mistakes. I think it is one reason of few to have a central authority to take care of things like this and human error.
On the blockchain human error is permanent.

I think that non-adoption is due to several factors: bitcoin (since it is the king) has a reputation for being very irregular. Its value varies constantly and this can be scary. On the other hand, governments are slowing down the deployment of cryptos, lest one of these (libra?) does too much shade to the states currencies.Well, it's only my 2 cents

There are people who also thinks this regulations can help push for adoption, that with regulations we can finally be able to spend out coins casually to local stores and in grocery stores to buy items we want. Unfortunately its not what is happening right now as regulation is at work. GRAM has been crackedown and BTC holders are subjected to tax. And BAKKT is a mess, seem not the direction we want to go.

yes, I agree, I also think that first of all the governments themselves should determine the rules and regulations, for example, in relation to new coins, and fundraising, then maybe there will be less fraud and confidence in crypto will appear

which postpones mass adoption is regulation. in almost every country, the adoption of crypto is always hindered by regulations. To encourage mass adoption of cryptocurrency, the role of government in each country is needed. without it all we can only see the mass adoption of a dream.
Government needs to stand for their position regarding to crypto currency, mass adoption will follow if regulations will be implemented inside countries jurisdictions. It's delaying everything since people around certain place are still in puzzle to what position the government have for this crypto currencies.

in order to gain confidence in cryptocurrencies, we need to solve a lot of problems inside the industry itself. the trust will not come until the market is ready for it

My opinion though:...

LACK OF TRUST.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT.
MOST PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF LOSING THEIR MONEY.
MOST PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR CRYPTO REGULATIONS TO TAKE PLACE.

Peoples outside crypto still doubting and afraid to using crypto, no other than because many scammers.
To create mass adoption, we need to gain people's trust first, so they can come to cryptocurrency.
If only scam projects were not exist, many peoples would not afraid to using crypto nowadays.
