 Accept bitcoin before it can be yours. ;D
People can decide something for their selfs whether good or bad, first of all we all have rights to do what so ever we want to do as long as it does not harm the next door neighbor but in my country the government has done what will harm the next door neighbor's.
On Bitcointalk I have seen topics that say Bitcoin is not for everyone maybe that thought is based on their own opinions, but I totally diagree with it, if I may ask who will see something good and reject it? No body, even if some people rejected it, it might be because of the laws from the higher authorities like government or military.
Bitcoin is for everybody, but we all have to accept it before it can be ours so I conclude that we must first accept bitcoin before we can have access to it and if you don't accept bitcoin you can't invest on it.

That is the problem that some people face not because they don't want to but because they can't due to the government's action by banning the use of cryptocurrency in their country and if someone is found using cryptocurrency then they will be sent to jail for violating their rules. The other situation is where the person doesn't believe in cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin because they believe it is a scam (due to less knowledge about it) therefore they say that Bitcoin is not for everyone. Honestly, I think some people are only saying that here in the forum is because they want to post something like that just to meet the total of posts that are required before they get paid.

No matter how someone accept bitcoin if someone is not financially literate, don't know how to store it in a safe place, don't know how the difference of custodial to non-custodial wallet, techinically bitcoin is not for everyone.

It doesn't end on just having it, protecting your bitcoin is your sole responsibility, if you can't do it, again, bitcoin is not for everyone.

We can't generalised bitcoin for every body what I know about  bitcoin is that everybody can access or embrace bitcoin, you might dislike bitcoin because of your reasons while another person will like bitcoin because of it's reasons, so therefore I believe that bitcoin is meant to be to someone who embrace it, generally bitcoin was created and been introduced to everyone and its not do and die affairs that every person most use Bitcoin, its a personal choice and decisions of using bitcoin, their is some people in this forum who always campaign for lightning network and they prefer lightning network than bitcoin, so it's their choice to choose lightning network than bitcoin.

OP is right, Bitcoin can be used by anyone, that's how Bitcoin was created, to become decentralized and can be used by anyone in this world.
Before you can accept it and access it, it is also better to have a basic and proper understanding of what is Bitcoin, how it works, what is good effects of using Bitcoin, etc.

yes, bitcoin is for everyone and before investing in btc of course we have to first learn about btc what are the benefits and what are the disadvantages if we invest in btc,

but for people who live in a country where the government prohibits people from using bitcoin, of course it will be difficult for the people to invest in btc, and of course the best way is to comply with the regulations of the state and government.

Acceptance is really part of it, but that alone is not helpful; you also need to have knowledge of it because if you just accept Bitcoin and its uses without proper knowledge, there is a possibility that you'll lose it, meaning you can't secure it, and if you plan on investing, you'll probably lose it. In every aspect of life, you'll really need acceptance, but prior to that, to make yourself acceptable, you'll still need to learn it.

Bitcoin was created by satoshi indeed for everyone, regardless of race, sect, or certain sects to be able to own/buy bitcoins. So in that way, bitcoin is absolutely neutral for anyone, for people who want it and for people who are interested in getting into the world of bitcoin investment. So basically satoshi creates bitcoin assets, for everyone.
But besides all that, there are rules in every country that apply to crypto digital currencies such as bitcoin, which must be obeyed by every community. Because it cannot be denied, that not all countries in the world allow digital currencies such as bitcoin to circulate and be owned by their people.

So in addition to all the freedom that satoshi gives about bitcoin for everyone. But still there are other rules that apply to everyone in their respective countries regarding bitcoin.

And the opinion that you express is not wrong, because to own or invest in bitcoin, you really need a sense of interest, desire and will result in a feeling of acceptance of the bitcoin. So your opinion, all of that is clear and indeed it must be done by anyone who wants to start investing or trading in bitcoin.

Even though Im agreeing with some of what you're saying, there's also the need to underline the basics of why Bitcoin isnt for everyone. Yes, there are some people who arent tech smart and so dont grasp cryptography.

To put it another way, its like handing a skateboard to a fish: some people just wont get it, no matter how much we Bitcoin aficionados might desire for everyone to get a piece of that crypto pie. The government stuff, on the other hand, is a complete mess. There are different norms and customs in that realm. Accept Bitcoin, dont accept Bitcoin; in the end, it comes down to what you and your next-door neighbor's dog are comfortable with.

not only accepting but also using , because it is indeed correct that accepting/purchasing means we will owned some , but that is not the main purpose , instead we must help circulating this.

from that bitcoin will have strong power , and will also serve us the way we wanted this.


it is our money so it is our decision and no one can interfere now hinder us .
wrong , it is not for everyone not unless they will embrace it , because bitcoin is an open funds that we can purchase anytime we wanted .
then you already answered your own opinion . don't just based in literal sentence instead understand the body and the form .

If anyone has decided to accept bitcoin he/ she also have interests to invest on it also, investing is easy for investors is just to have a basic information about it and then carry on with the investment plans, if anybody love some thing with all his hart nothing can stop the person from get it except death so if anybody love bitcoin that means he or she can do their own research about bitcoin then understand how it works and join the crypto world by their selfs.

Let's face the reality - Bitcoin is not for everyone! It requires a certain amount of technical or computing knowledge before anyone can begin using bitcoin. The world of centralized wallets and exchanges are built on this exact inconvenience. So Bitcoin is not for everyone in its rawest form. Regardless of whether people accept it or not.

Bitcoin needs a learning period before anyone can begin using it with ease. In my opinion, Bitcoin has become an investment asset more than a currency system and it's very inconvenient to use for the nubes.

Bitcoin holds something positive in it, for that reason the majority of people in parts of the world accept Bitcoin as an inseparable part of their lives. For me Bitcoin has become a necessity, Bitcoin has had a positive impact on my life. Since getting to know Bitcoin, I have received several benefits that I have never gotten in fiat money, ease of transactions in buying and selling goods and services and increasing the economy from the profits I get from investments.

People who deny the presence of Bitcoin in their lives are too naive in assessing Bitcoin, they know Bitcoin usually gives them unlimited profits, but they think Bitcoin is not in the same playing field as the stock market or institutional investment. Although some people are still closed to Bitcoin, it does not mean that Bitcoin will collapse, Bitcoin will still stand tall and will reach a market capitalization of trillions of dollars in the future.

It is an open gate for everyone to access. Technical or computing knowledge or whatsoever knowledge, if you want to learn to access it, you can do it like some people don't touch Internet, smartphone but it is not responsible of Internet or smartphone to access those people. It is hard or easy, accessible or inaccessible, depends on those people.

If they want, they can start to learn today and practice with Bitcoin testnet today by claiming Bitcoin testnet from Testnet faucets.

as per avikz, I agree also the Bitcoin isnt for everyone.

The OP is taking the literal meaning of "Bitcoin is not for everyone" and disagreeing with
it and its right to say literally Bitcoin is there for everyone but the reality is not everyone has
the capabilities to buy and sell Bitcoin by either private of KYC means and secure it properly,
some people are technically challenged, some people would just prefer for someone else
to do the necessary for them much the same as buying Gold, they dont actually have custody
of the Gold, just a piece of paper to say they own it but someone else is storing it for them.

Thats where the saying "Bitcoin is not for everyone" is applied and means to reflect.

There are many countries where governments have not put complete ban on its usage but still do all the population use it? It's not about fear from the government only as there are many reasons like people who don't have access to internet and are not aware about it or say those who have been victims of some crypto scam fear to invest in it so there are lot of reasons.But yes Bitcoin is open to all but it depends on how you use it or is it available to all?

Bitcoin is not for everybody because it is not compulsory to use it as a form of payment. Before now trade by barter was the main medium of buying and selling of goods. Then it was compulsory because it was the only way you engage in trade. Fiat currency was introduced and barter became obsolete. Now everybody must use fiat to buy and sell. Until bitcoin becomes a generally acceptable currency, it is not compulsory to use it. And if it is not mandatory to use it, it is not for everybody. We don't know what the future holds, but the world may move to an era when fiat might become obsolete and the only option might be cryptocurrencies. At this time, Bitcoin will not still be for everybody because there are other cryptos. Bitcoin will be for everybody only if it is the only currency.

I agree with your argument about "Bitcoin for everyone", but looking at the current reality is not about how Bitcoin functions fully, but what will actually be realized with Bitcoin.

Governments that are pro-Bitcoin might provide looser regulations on Bitcoin or crypto, but for governments that are completely against Bitcoin, there will be no room at all for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but Bitcoin cannot be used by everyone. Accepting Bitcoin adoption in the first place will not be easy.
Remember that every government's regulations are different, they need to research first by making adjustments to their economic area.

Bitcoin is borderless, this is an already established fact which i think every one agrees to, but i think you completely misunderstood those who said that Bitcoin is not for everyone, i am not one of those who said that bitcoin is not for everyone, but by understanding what they meant by that statement, i completely agree that Bitcoin is not for everyone..

Let me explain, I already mentioned before that Bitcoin is borderless, which means bitcoin is open to everybody all around the world , Now, when some people say that bitcoin is not for everyone, they do not mean Bitcoin in its acceptability or in its adoption, of course Bitcoin is open and available for anyone interested to adopt , But when it comes to investing in bitcoin, its not for everyone, those who are investing in bitcoin have to have the balls to buy and hold, else, that person will just chicken out due to how volatile the price of bitcoin is, such person can chicken out and sell too early out of fear, in the end, you discover that investing in bitcoin is not for such type of people, this is what i believe when i read people say that bitcoin is not for everyone.

@OP, The idea of someone saying that Bitcoin is not for everybody may really be because of the bad perception that some people have about Bitcoin, but that statement doesn't necessarily mean or state that Bitcoin is not for everyone. Of course, it is for everyone, but specifically for those who understand the values of it, for those who realise how cool Bitcoin investment can be, and for those who want to be in charge of their financial control, because Satoshi's idea of creating Bitcoin was for the common man and woman to be able to have their own financial management under their control in a decentralised and digital way, so that those financial elites wouldn't really be in charge of how we spend our money all the time.

In the bank today, there's some kind of huge amount of withdrawal you will want to pull out of your account, and your account officer will call in to ask you what you really want to do with the money, but with one's money in Bitcoin, no one will have to quarry you for how much you are withdrawing or depositing. So, it's sometimes said that Bitcoin is not for everyone, but for those who realise all those quality features of Bitcoin.

Literally speaking, anyone can send any amount of Bitcoin to our bitcoin wallet address even without knowing it.  The transaction is permissionless on the side of the sender to be able to send an amount to the receiver so the wallet of the receiver automatically received the sent BTC even without the knowledge of the owner of the receiving address.

This simply means that in terms of the literal transaction, there is no need for the owner of the receiving wallet address to accept the transaction before the sent BTC becomes his.

In terms of adoption, merchants need to accept BTC to be accredited as a mode of payment or else the sender will only be wasting his money sending BTC when it is not recognized by the merchant as payment.

Bitcoin was created for everyone but it isn't everyone that will accept it based on ignorant or government policy. Some accepts it but don't have money to invest in it. That is why the word bitcoin is not for everyone because before it can be for everyone,it means that everyone must have bitcoin.

You can't say that bitcoin is for everyone when it is not everybody that is holding bitcoin. It is another thing to have heard about bitcoin and another thing to adopt it. Some people keep on procrastinating to buy bitcoin since last year when the price of bitcoin was 16k and up till now they haven't bought any one,bitcoin is not for such people. Bitcoin is not fiat that one can't do without,that is why the ignoramus will not adopt it because they feel it is not worth it and they can do without it.

Bitcoin can be yours if you can afford to buy or earn it. Otherwise, how will Bitcoin be for you? There's nothing free in the world; you have to accumulate Bitcoin somehow before you can claim it as yours. So, being financially stable is one of the most important requirements to claim Bitcoin as yours. Your wallet should have Bitcoin, regardless of how you accumulated it.

As long as Bitcoin is in our wallet, it belongs to us. Of course, anyone who doesn't own Bitcoin can adopt the Bitcoin mentality. But transacting with Bitcoin and having Bitcoin in your wallet really means that Bitcoin is ours.

I hope everyone will own and adopt Bitcoin to a greater or lesser extent. Otherwise, it will be too late for many people.

Perhaps, it was wrong saying it was for everyone as we can't deny that many had seen Bitcoin as a scam thing and so they rejected it. Thinking in this scenario, only those who have seen Bitcoin good would accept it but seeing a lot of people never see it like this, it was too hard to convince and change their minds. So, therefore, this would happen - Everyone has the chance to have Bitcoin but can't expect them all because it was hard to please everyone to understand how this work especially if you already have a bad experience from it. 

Bitcoin is for everyone who want to use but there's a problem with it even you want to use the bitcoin there's a factor that this can be prevented for example the government they restrict the use of the crypto if you disobey this sure there's a hard punishment so are you willing to risk your freedom on it or not. Also many people saying Bitcoin or crypto is can be use for the salary because it's transparent and sufficient but the problem is the market volatility are you willing to risk your salary to survive for your daily sustain for possible loss due to market movement? I guess no. It's good for everyone but not for everyone.

At the bolded colour red is individualized, you know they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder which means that a man will always loves where his heart goes even when others feel otherwise,  that is what bitcoin is to everyone. You know it, you understand it and that is what makes you value it but will others feel the same thing? NO! Not everyone will like bitcoin, didn't you see that even in this forum, many well exposed users of bitcoin don't like USDT, they don't and even tomorrow, they will always choose bitcoin over other alternative coins, so not everyone think bitcoin is special.

There is a mixed reaction when bitcoin acceptance pop up especially when it has something to do with the government. The rules of any country are set by the legislators and if you don't want to be fined by Judiciary, you have to follow every step of the legislators, and as such, when something is term as illegal, we can't help it but follow the laws of the country, nobody is above the law and that is why people don't overstep on government. If bitcoin is not allowed in a particular jurisdiction, no need to force it, period! Perhaps, over time, change in government will see it differently.

This statement is true and I agree with you, any Bitcoin on your wallet is yours and by accepting Bitcoin in your mind even when you can't afford tobuy it I think the person is half way owning Bitcoin because once the funds is there I don't think such person will not own Bitcoin because the reason is already stated in his mind as to why purchasing Bitcoin is necessary. Bitcoin was created to solve the financial stress of everyone and to end the control of governments in the finances of her citizens so on this ground I think it's possible for everyone to own Bitcoin because the solves the problem of everyone.

OP can't get it, haha where did you see people saying that Bitcoin is not for everyone let me know haha I will fight your case, secondly who cares what others think Do you feel safe as the payment mode with Bitcoin just go ahead and use it not even Stoshi can stop you doing that is why we are here at least most of us. Secondly, it doesn't matter how others impose their narratives with Bitcoin because Bitcoin doesn't care it is very clear from one day to be the best payment mode with some additional attributes.

Why I'm saying all this because the point of the case is nothing in the Orignal Post because it is Obvious the person who wants to invest in Bitcoin already accepts it as a good asset/payment mode. Why is a person even willing to Invest in Bitcoin if he doesn't belive in the concept I Hvanet saw such people yet to whom ever I had explained the motive of BTC, he accepted it as a good initiative to invest in the BTC and use it. I rest my case OP.

All new technologies face resistance in the start and it is just a matter of time before they are accepted. Bitcoin no doubt is not liked by many mainly because of there ignorance or due to negative propaganda by centralised institutes. Still in its 10 years of journey bitcoin has gain a popularity and we a bitcoin community in every country and its growing.

Indeed. Not literally have limitations but rather needs to be met by people who fully understand its concept. Many things have happened in the past and some created bad impression towards this industry and some a good. Since there's a mix of impressions and attitude in this industry, we cannot expect everyone to acvept and use this technology on a daily basis and not to mention restrictions and limitations to some countries regarding acceptance of this Blockchain. For now, waiting is the only thing we could do until things become better for this industry. Atleast for now, we are seeing growth with this technology's acknowledgement from more people.

In some countries bitcoin  is permissible but people don't accept bitcoin because of its volatility as they have earned money with hardwork and are afraid of lossing it. Those who accept bitcoin have realized that how much important it is, what procedures are there to follow, how act and take decision in accordance with the conditions so they are not afraid and easily accept bitcoin because they completely understand it.

I think people of old age does not accept bitcoin easily because they don't trust digital money but they believe on doing business and other jobs which are not online. Otherwise those individuals who have some knowledge about bitcoin will never reject it as jobs are limited and everyone is finding in new technology of earning.

Absolutely spot on! Even if we acquire Bitcoin from the right sources, there's a chance we might fumble in safeguarding our precious digital assets, inadvertently placing them in jeopardy. The journey entails much more than just choosing reputable exchanges; it involves delving into the realm of wallets, meticulously safeguarding private keys, and mastering the art of secure storage. This isn't a matter of whether one should embrace it or not, but rather if they are equipped or not.

The intention here isn't to stymie the surge of Bitcoin's adoption, but to be pragmatically aware that for global integration, positive strides from governments are imperative. Regulations and governmental responses hold a significant sway over the collective psyche and sentiments.

Furthermore, no one desires their efforts to be in vain, and comprehending and embracing Bitcoin isn't an overnight feat. It necessitates a considerable investment of time and patience, something everyone can undoubtedly relate to.

it's all a matter of mindset, when you don't accept bitcoins in full then you won't have any intention to buy them even when you get bitcoin for free you will just sell them straight away because there is no compelling reason for you to hold btc.  maybe bitcoin regulation is still gray in many countries, many are afraid to buy it because they don't have basic knowledge about what bitcoin is, what bitcoin is for and how to protect personal wallets, again basic education about bitcoin is the most important thing to spread.

Investing in Bitcoin is not for everyone, as any Bitcoin asset is a high-risk asset and can lead to a loss if you do not know when to invest, so it is not an investment for all people. Saying that Bitcoin is for everyone, I believe that we have shifted from a cryptocurrency to a religious or economic idea, and Bitcoin is not believed to be a religious or economic idea, and cryptocurrencies should not be so strict.

If you have money that you do not need in the next three months and you know the risks associated with Bitcoin and are willing to take it, then Bitcoin is right for you.

The statement bitcoin is not for everyone expalins a lot. And in my opinion bitcoin was designed for those that are tired and worrisome of the fiat money that loses value at every slight of inflation that takes place and therefore in search of a promising alternative that offer value even in the face of inflation. As for those that aren't bothered about these issues they're probably the ones that statement is referring to.
Oh yes, there are people that will obviously reject it.
You know why? Cause good things don't come that easy, and they are scared of paying the price to achieve that which is good. And that's why we shouldn't be a surprise when we see people reject bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not for everyone because simply it requires at least a little work in holding and protecting it. You need to learn some stuff to use it. And I can't say that the most, but definitely a lot of people simply don't want to use that. There is no things for everyone in this life besides air and water.

And with how limited is supply is, sooner or later everyone will have to work hard on how they are going to acquire it and it could take some money for them to buy bitcoin in the future.

So yes, after that you need to know how to protect it. There are a lot of us here who lost their bitcoin, either from hacks, or we lost the private key. So once we accept it or at least involves ourselves with bitcoin, we should learn and practice security hygiene.

         Why do you think people should definitely invest in Bitcoin? No, it's not. There is an option to use it for its intended purpose. For example, make transfers or pay for purchases, if possible.
         Nevertheless, the first crypto project does not have such high inflation risks as national currencies. Crypto money does not depreciate so quickly. For this reason, most people should not only learn, but also reconsider their views on such processes.

Inflation is a problem of the whole society, I believe no one is indifferent to it, but not everyone has complete knowledge about it, so they don't care much but only know work hard every time they see the price of goods increasing.  when it comes to deflation, Bitcoin like gold is a pretty good deflationary asset, but many people have yet to invest in it because education about it is still limited.


This you are right, they rejected bitcoin because they are not ready to take the risk to get bigger things.  in short, bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone will embrace it.

Are you trying to push your opinion towards others? That it's for everyone? It's not always going to be the same for everyone because not everyone wants to get involved or anything to do with this type of technology. Maybe they are limited in the capacity to even acknowledge it or something but it's not for everyone for sure. Imagine for someone to have their own belief forced it  ::)

Don't get me wrong, I'm all-in in BTC but I don't think everyone is.

Bitcoin is for everyone but if people don't want to use it, it's not for them. Only some people who see something good are willing to accept it because there are still people who think that Bitcoin is not for them and pass up the opportunity to own Bitcoin since the price is still very low.

I was looking for Bitcoin with no idea what to do with Bitcoin and never thought that Bitcoin could become like this. I do what I feel comfortable with and it turns out in my journey, I found that Bitcoin is a way that I can use to make a profit.

If people want to be open-minded to accept something new that might benefit them, they will start learning it. But unfortunately, not everyone wants to do it and just reject it. At least, that's what I faced when I tried to introduce Bitcoin to my friends.

I'm having mixed thoughts about it. On one hand, I agree that people should be able to do what they want, as long as that doesn't harm others around that, and I surely don't support the state ban or harsh crypto restrictions. On the other hand, I don't think that people only reject Bitcoin because of the legislation or authorities. My country is very chill about Bitcoin, but I know a lot of people who won't use Bitcoin anyway because they are worried about the volatility, the responsibility over one's own wallet, just generally worried that it's not under the state's control etc. Accepting Bitcoin is a choice, and some people might not want to make that choice, which is also okay.

Something good comes with a task to do to get full access to it. Since bitcoin is a good thing to happen to humanity, one should accept it, and in the same way, invest in it, to have full control of it.

Accepting bitcoin without investing in it, is the same as someone who is yet to accept or know about bitcoin. What will differentiate the both is when an investment is made.

Accepting bitcoin and investing work together but the most important aspect is to learn how to store your bitcoin in a safe place and also learn not to have a weak hand during a bearish market.

Everyone had their own opinion to trade the bitcoin,because it’s their own money.But we can share the people about the bitcoin being a community member.Because we know bitcoin will give them huge profits by making some investment.In some countries bitcoin was illegal,So in such countries we can’t force them to trade bitcoin.Some people in such countries also trade the bitcoin for the future benefit.Because they think,bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will become legal in upcoming years.

I am also in the idea that Bitcoin can be used by everyone but not everyone prefers to use Bitcoin.  At the end of the day, it is the people's preference and convenience that matters.  Like people who are not knowledgeable about recent technology might have problems accessing the Bitcoin network so they prefer to use fiat money in their daily transactions.  Others think that 10 minutes of confirmation is too long for waiting and prefer online payment that has instant confirmation.


I think it is a matter of convenience for other people.  Since they have an existing online method of payment, they do not want to try other forms of payment.  And since their lives are not affected whether they adopt Bitcoin or not, they don't mind missing out on the opportunity Bitcoin brings.

I'd like to hear more specifically about the government in terms of doing harm to neighbors, can you be more specific and a little more detailed? Bitcoin is not for everyone because they do not have the financial resources that can lead them to invest and are not defined as private property. Someone who refuses because of a lack of knowledge about bitcoin and they can't see the huge potential in it.

Many countries do not legalize bitcoin and most only accept it as an investment asset, but the development of bitcoin is increasing in terms of adoption and investment in several countries that do not allow it as a means of payment.

Bitcoin will belong to everyone when they try to receive it or in other words buy, gifts from people and use a way to receive payments with bitcoins on a product that we sell. This is also one of several ways to get bitcoins and when we receive it we will definitely learn how to access it.

Bud, not everyone loves decentralization. I am pretty sure there are plenty of government fanatics out there that would worship the fuck out of them just for the sake of hating these. Not everyone has the guts to invest into something that has no one controlling it since they believe that banks are "100% safe", they believe that CEX would be able to handle their money with ease but we all know what happens, right?

Not hating, OP but I am just talking about the reality that some people aren't just really fans of how Bitcoin works same goes for how people aren't really into altcoins, Smart Contracts and all those NFT stuffs you see around the market.

I don't think accepting Bitcoin automatically makes it ours, you must have the funds to invest in this digital asset before it becomes yours, yes bitcoin has made itself available for everyone, but the major problem is, even when individuals adopt it, do they have the money to invest in it, people might like the concept of decentralization but the major issues is, do they also have all it takes to invest in bitcoin, yes government strict policies on bitcoin is also a bothering part of the acceptance of Bitcoin by the people, another factor that I feel that's the major cause of some people uninterested atitude towards Bitcoin, is ignorance and lack of knowledge.

The sentence "Bitcoin is not for everyone" exists or was created does not mean it has a real meaning that Bitcoin prohibits some people or only selected people who can own Bitcoin.
Yes, it's true that Bitcoin was created for everyone, but in reality Bitcoin can't be used for everyone, right? Therefore, the term "Bitcoin is not for everyone" appears which is just a term used by some people to refer to people who cannot or do not want to accept Bitcoin whatever their reasons, whether it's because they don't believe and don't care, because there is a ban from the government or because they are not able and do not want to have Bitcoin.

From the opinion that you express and convey, this means that Bitcoin is not for everyone who hasn't or doesn't want to accept it, right? So that's what the sentence or term "Bitcoin is not for everyone" means. In essence, this sentence is a sentence that contains a figurative meaning or is not a real word.

Bitcoin was never been that intended for investment in the first place but rather it was created for the sole purpose of peer to peer transaction or without that having 3rd party involved.It did really just turn out that
investment opportunity or benefit is really just that a side benefit but this is where mostly people that been that focusing which i couldnt really blame them at all or something that would be normal since people would really be focusing on something that they could really be able to earn. Also, even if the government would be prohibiting you on dealing with crypto but since its decentralized then we could always be having the freedom on engaging into it.It is really just a matter of involvement and decision that you would be making and there's no one could be able to stop you on doing so. This is why its up to your decision whether you would be proceeding or not or would simply getting in line with government rules and regulations. As long you do have the money then you could buy bitcoin which it isnt really hard nowadays on doing so.

Well, simply put, we wouldn't try to find it or produce it if we didn't receive it. besides that, even though bitcoin is for everyone, not everyone can make good use of it. because there are still very many things that need to be considered such as risks, how to store them, how to exchange, how to buy, and so on.
Many people are willing to accept bitcoins, but have no knowledge about it. so before accepting or utilizing bitcoin, we should first study bitcoin. not a few people who accept bitcoin, don't accept it because they get a loss when trading from bitcoin.

In fact, not everyone should use bitcoin, and for some, it isn't even a matter of the government or the laws that were created in some country. Most people have a lot of money to invest in bitcoin, but due to a lack of education, they lack the knowledge necessary to use it and begin investing. They really want to do so, but their lack of education has prevented them from doing so. Most even have the money to begin investing, but they don't know how to keep their bitcoin safe. You can see that it is meaningless; they may even persuade them that bitcoin is not suitable for everyone in many respects, despite the fact that the majority of people have valid reasons for not using it while seeing its benefits.

We need to let everyone know and let people know that all cryptocurrencies before adopting Bitcoin. Bitcoin are the last link of digitalization in today's world and have the potential to radically change the way we live and do business. Failure to embrace Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies that have the potential to bring about such a fundamental change means missing out on almost every development in the next century. Anyone who follows the conventional media is surely well aware of the risks of Bitcoin. We can now quickly access many sources that provide counter arguments to these risks and the potential of cryptocurrencies in contrast and argue that Bitcoin should be adopted.

Regardless of what governments or anti Bitcoin thinkers say and do, we must continue to move forward and thrive in the Crypto World and contribute to this environment. It is Bitcoin itself that will save us financially. You should not forget the fact that the opportunity cost of not entering this space early will be greater than the loss of a small portion of your balance.

To deny its significance is to display an astounding level of ignorance. There are, however, always two sides to every story. Despite Bitcoin's evident potential, it nevertheless must overcome legislative obstacles and widespread distrust.

---

Bitcoin succeeds because shady institutions and persistent inflation are bad for business. They cant see the future of finance, therefore they continue to live in the past. Its hilarious that conventional financial institutions keep ignoring Bitcoin.

The skeptics, on the other hand, are presumably wedded to the ineffective and antiquated financial system. Its past time we abandon these antiquated practices and move on.

Yes, you might be right, but I don't think you are totally right. Bitcoin is for everyone. Both ME, YOU and other PEOPLE have to accept it before it can be ours. Even the government can't stop us from using Bitcoin because they don't own us, but they rule us, so if you think Bitcoin is for you, then it is also for others too. It is just for everyone to take good advantage of Bitcoin now and not letter.
Yes, Bitcoin is risky and people also need to learn how to make use of an exchange and also how to store and buy, but I still think that it is not only Bitcoin that has a risk.

People want to invest in Bitcoin but some of them don't totally have knowledge about Bitcoin. Yes, it is true, but while people are learning about Bitcoin, they should also take part in the investment.

Op this one is also related to your thread Bitcoin For Everyone (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467950.0). Your content is nice. But Bitcoin is meant to be used by those who are technologically educated and not for uneducated people so with this my small phrase, bitcoin is not for everyone but for only the educated ones. I am saying this from personal experience. I have told some of my friends who are not educated but they could not do anything, they don't even know where to start. I have explained to them but no good result I am even tired so bitcoin for everyone is not possible. Even though those illiterate ones come and meet bitcoin they have nothing to offer. But yes the government can influence bitcoin because most of the citizens follow the government policies so whatever the government says they obey. And if the government approve the uses of bitcoin in a country, those who were reluctant about bitcoin would come up and invest in it but the illiterates still can't do anything about it. Therefore this topic can go for the two side. "Bitcoin for Everyone" and "bitcoin is not for everyone". Bitcoin is for everyone in the sense that bitcoin is on the internet floating so anyone who pick the interest to join and use it, it is there for you. You can meet bitcoin at anytime in the internet and if only you can use it and invest in it while bitcoin is not for everyone because not everyone is educated to use it. The illiterates can't use bitcoin.

Bitcoin can indeed be learned and owned by everyone, but in my opinion there must be "certain conditions" in order to be able to learn and own Bitcoin. You are absolutely right, in fact Bitcoin cannot be owned or studied by everyone who has limitations or shortcomings.
It's a bit ironic if we talk about the problem of lack of education at this time, which in fact is an era that is completely digital, even though it is like that, there are still many people who cannot enjoy and get a decent education nowadays. Education does influence a person's way of thinking and acceptance of everything including technological developments and it is true that not everyone can own Bitcoin because there are many factors that influence some of which are mindsets that are not yet advanced due to lack of education and difficult economic conditions.
But in fact, if someone does not have problems such as being illiterate or has physical disabilities such as being blind which can make it difficult for them to learn about technology and Bitcoin, even someone who is less educated should be able to understand and increase their knowledge about Bitcoin, but it all has to be based on of high awareness and willingness in less educated individuals.
Then the other most influential factor is extreme poverty or difficult economic conditions which cause them not to have time to think about technological developments such as Bitcoin, because what takes up their mind and time is thinking about how to survive amidst the difficulties they are experiencing.

Maybe many people are uneducated or have low knowledge and don't know where to start but that doesn't mean they don't have a chance or will never invest in bitcoin. It's not too difficult to learn everything basic about bitcoin, as long as you really want to help them, they can become as good as you.

My younger brother doesn't know anything about technology, doesn't know a word of foreign language, he's just an ordinary barber. But he has been guided by me for the past year and now he knows even more things than I do. You should not look down on uneducated people, just because they had difficult circumstances in the past so their studies were unfinished, but that doesn't mean they can't learn other things. The important thing is are you willing to help them and do they really make an effort?

When people say that Bitcoin is not for everybody, they aren't saying that Bitcoin was not created for humans, you are wrong, generally, bitcoin was built by the founder for every human use, but still not everyone will accept it because some people prefer to make a decision only if their government gives them the green light.

Bitcoin isn't really for everybody, some people, in fact, the majority of people in the world today want to get rich quickly, that's why Ponzi schemes are still a thing today, and people losing their money isn't making them stay away from Ponzi schemes, also it's on par with gambling too, the reason why many people gamble is because they can make money that can take them years to save in the bank from their jobs in a week or two.

Bitcoin and patience are in one package, anyone that lacks it doesn't belong on the same train, you need to DCA and hold for a long term, not everyone can do this, I remember when I introduced Bitcoin to some people, they started asking how long it will take them to double their money, that's the first red flag there, too many, investment is a cruel bitch but to the rich ( and that's why they are rich) investment is the way.

Yeah, many people refuse to accept bitcoin, not because of the government, but because some people are unaware of it. While some people are not ready to learn about bitcoin at all, some still have a fear of how their government views it and tells them that anybody who uses it will face consequences, which is not the case to me. If anyone is ready and has the knowledge, they will definitely accept bitcoin even if their government restricts them from using it. Because bitcoin is a decentralised currency, you don’t have to tell anybody. If you invest in or make a transaction with bitcoin, keep it to yourself, and you will benefit from it.

However, I agree with you that if someone has experienced a scam before from crypto, then I believe they will definitely lose interest in bitcoin because they will think that even if they go back and invest, such an incident may still happen.

In conclusion to your says is that Bitcoin is an opened door means of global investment for anyone to get in and adapt to with a foreseeing of its valuable potentiality even if it is not generally accepted because life is a choice and it is at your decision to decide if you want to remain poor or grow rich then you can put your desires to practice and adapt to the routes that leads your destination.

To be fair, bitcoin is still a relatively new asset to the world so it is understandable that people have not heard of bitcoin or are not interested in bitcoin. Furthermore, because its decentralized nature makes many governments dislike it, it will take longer to become popular than other assets. Many people think that bitcoin's popularity is growing quite slowly, but I see it growing quite well.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but whether people adopt it or not is up to them. Bitcoin is not picky or discriminatory, we are the ones making the decisions. Regarding scams, if I remember correctly, ponzi existed hundreds of years before bitcoin existed, so anyone who says bitcoin is a scam is ignorant.

Accept bitcoin in what way actually, do you mean accepting it as a means of payment or accepting it as an asset, because for anyone to own bitcoin the person need to first save up the money before they can move further in acquiring it and after successful buying of the coin then moving it to a private wallet where they have full control over it is when they will be considered as someone who truly owns it.

As for government representative most of them are representing the government and saying or manner of things to discourage others from investing in bitcoin but deep down we all know that most of them owns bitcoin in there private wallet and don’t make it official, it will be hard for most government go accept the fact that bitcoin is the new financial anonymity bind with freedom for its citizens.

There are different points that are made here, for sure Bitcoin is for everybody as long as you want Bitcoin you can buy or invest in Bitcoin it doesnt really matter what your gender, nationality, etc. you could accept Bitcoin.

On the other hand, the topic of Bitcoin is not for everyone have a different point, because even though bitcoin is a great investment, digital currency, etc., and you could totally buy it or invest in it As I said it is still a very risky investment so you could still lose your money to this kind of investment, considering cryptocurrency or Bitcoin is one of the riskiest investment of your money that you could make, compared to other investment like what I've said before the market price of cryptocurrency is just so volatile, so the market price could easily drop in just a short amount of time or vise versa. So someone that doesnt really have a foundation like for example savings, emergency funds, insurance, or other safe investment, in my opinion, it is better for them to not start on Bitcoin as there first investment because they could lose there money here and without any savings you might not be able to recover at some point.

yeah, some people always take investing in Bitcoin too extreme, forgetting that it should be a thing of will, and that is why the majority of people get blamed at the end, if the business did not favor them, and investing in Bitcoin is good but of the sincere truth, it is not for everybody. and till today I still wonder why the government is trying by all means to end Bitcoin, I know it's all in their dreams, they can do nothing to it, it has come to stay. and even with so many restrictions people still don't care people are still investing regardless of the ban. volatility is not even an issue again since the nature of Bitcoin is known already, you should know that it's a long-term investment, at least you know what you going into.

Bitcoin is for everyone, but not everyone accepts it. Not because of government restriction or military restriction. It is because of lack of knowledge. Bitcoin is decentralized, so you can own it from anywhere. But people often rejects the idea of Bitcoin because they don't know much about it. And the government is so manipulative that they only show the bad news about Bitcoin. This is why an average person without any technical knowledge will only have negative ideas about bitcoin.

But if you know the truth of Bitcoin, then those manipulations won't work on you. This is why gaining knowledge about Bitcoin is the first priority if you want people to accept it. Bitcoin is for everyone, no doubt, but not everyone accept it because of the lack of knowledge about it.

Is that a bitcoin sermon that you're preaching?
Accept bitcoin in your hearts so you can be a part of it?

Wise words my brother, Satoshi be with you! :D

Jokes aside, bitcoin is not for everyone means that not all of us possess the basic skills to safely buy, hold and transact in bitcoin. It doesn't mean that it's restricted, or that we bitcoiners don't want everyone to have access to it. We aren't selfish (at least most of us because CSW is all but selfless, but some would argue that he's a shitcoiner).

For people who live in countries that prohibit bitcoin, of course they will find it difficult to get involved in bitcoin. Both in investment and trading. They will always be haunted by fear. So it is natural that they ultimately decide to obey the government and stay away from bitcoin. But I'm sure their hearts want bitcoin once they learn about it. Bitcoin is for everyone. But not everyone is in a position to freely choose and own it.

For those of us who are in countries that are friendly to crypto and bitcoin, we are the luckiest people. Because we are free to invest and trade in crypto and bitcoin. There are many people out there who want to enter bitcoin but are limited by their own government.

the same thing with your current partner, if you don't open the door of your heart to him at the beginning then the two of you will never be together, bitcoin is a very popular cryptocurrency but as time goes by there is a lot of FUD created, which is spread by the government and Another bitcoin hater, if you believe in FUD rather than doing your own research on bitcoin then you will never buy bitcoin ever. not everyone wants to accept bitcoin, don't be one of those who don't like bitcoin, you will regret it later!!

I understand we have to actually open our minds to the existence of BTC before we can be able to own some and properly keep it safe.
Otherwise, I see no reason why any Tom, Dick or Harry can own a BTC without even having the slightest knowledge of what it stands to represent.
In countries where it is banned, it doesn't stop the citizens from learning about it, because life can happen to anyone and they find themselves in a country where BTC is accepted even if it is not a legal tender.
We are seeing countries who never used or accepted Bitcoin now doing so, like Japan's car company, Honda which made an announcement some days of them accepting BTC for payments upon purchase of their products. I still don't know how true until someone completes a transaction with them.
The point is that one should be open to any future ideas mostly as concerns crypto, web3, AI.

Indeed, you raise a reasonable point there. But lets remember that every investment, stocks or Bitcoin, carries a certain amount of risk, doesn't it? Bitcoin is a crazy rollercoaster, despite being revolutionary and full of potential. Its risky to board this journey without having any financial safety nets, such as emergency savings or finances. They might lose a great deal and wind up at the deep end.

However, isnt the risk and reward associated with every investment? There is always a potential payoff that increases with risk. Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that anyone considering investing in Bitcoin should make sure they have a safety net in place first. If not, they can end up submerged. Furthermore, Bitcoin might not be the right ride for you if you're not ready for those extreme swings. Take a plunge, but be aware of the depth of the water. Still, consider this: wouldn't everything be very predictable and, dare I say it, boring if everyone knew exactly what they were doing?

Just look at how people regret not getting into Bitcoin earlier when it was so cheap and it's the same today.
People started to get scared to get in because a lot of FUD was attacking and the price dropped drastically from the last ATH.

There is no need to convince those who have already left Bitcoin or are still in doubt, only time will tell.
We are at the end of the road and about to step into the Bullrun market.

Those who are passionate and like Bitcoin will continue to enter until the price is higher.
But for those who still doubt or don't like Bitcoin, they are just trying to bring it down.

When ever I hear about FUD being the main reason why some people are yet to accept bitcoin I begain to wonder why they believe so much in the information they get from people who are not real to their citizens, their children and themselves, I mean how can the government who has not met 70% of the promises they made before assuming a particular position in the office discourage someone who's interested in investing in bitcoin?. I think it's time we accept the fact that a lot of people who reget everyday for not investing early when they first got the information about bitcoin are to be blamed because they were too lazy for not carrying out a good research when they were misinformed about bitcoin. You must have a pure intention and a positive mindset before you think good about something and once you believe when you are yet to know a business or an investment you already killed the positive outcome that it will bring because you mindset can't think right. The government may never stop spreading bad information about bitcoin but bitcoin being on the news daily has helped in the wide spread of it's name and that alone has made it to gain more popularity.

No one will want to use his money in that business which has no future therefore we can give recommendations to our fellows and will share our success so they will have responsibility to scruntize about it. Actually we cannot force anyone whether bitcoin is legal or illegal in that country because if it is illegal then we will never accept the truth that they are in punishment because of us as well as we will never give him money to minimize his percentage of loss.

If crypto become legalize in one country then one should not be worried about its uses but before legalizing you should keep check on your money and mind because these are the two elements that attracts you towards crime.

Bitcoin is actually not for everyone, you need to understand that the reason people accept bitcoin is for the promise of higher return of investment. It is only few that accepted bitcoin because they want to control their money.
If accepting bitcoin is for money and you see an old wealthy man who makes up to $100k a day. Do you think that the person still has need for bitcoin?

There is fiat and bitcoin is purely an alternative. If someone is ok with the main, what then is the need for the alternative? Bitcoin is available for everyone, but it is not everyone that will be interested in bitcoin.

I think OP is miss-understanding the phrase,'Bitcoin is not for everybody', it doesn't mean that Bitcoin was made by satoshi for only certain of people, of course Bitcoin was made for everybody, but the actual meaning of the phrase 'Bitcoin is not for everybody' is that not everyone want to accept Bitcoin, and not everyone is willing to use it, even some people who want it there they may face some restriction in some form. So, Bitcoin is indeed made for everybody but not everyone was 'made' to accept Bitcoin.

There's a lot of words about people believing in bitcoin but cannot even prove that they Hold part of it,. they kept talking about how good it is , how great bitcoin but truly not accepting it as a future currency instead keep believing in Banks.,
those people are just a word for nothing.

We must accept bitcoin no matter what before we taste how good this could be,

but what he wanted to make sure that people accepted it, though it is for everyone but the thing is they are not truly accepting it.

This is why I keep trying to get as much as I possibly could nowadays, because I learned better and I have seen people who missed, I am one of those people as well I was around and still didn't profited enough. I did alright, I didn't lose money, I got in and made some money but instead of "some" profit, I could have been a millionaire by now if I kept it going. This is why I believe that we are not going to really end up with anything that would hurt us for the long term.

In the end, we are going to end up with something that should be getting some issues, and the results will not be all that bad, and we could definitely see it change one way or another. I know that life is not that simple and we could probably figure out when to buy it at exact bottom if we work hard enough to find it, but it doesn't really matter. Just buy whenever you can, and keep it for as long as you can which will result with you making as much profit as you possibly could.

In fact, this is exactly how most people perceive Bitcoin, because if they wanted to control all their money, then they could simply have some cash in a stash somewhere and that would be enough, but in Bitcoin they are attracted by the opportunity to earn money, since now Bitcoin is very an attractive investment.

But there are very few such rich people who earn huge amounts of money every day, most of the planet’s population are quite poor people who are trying to survive, or live within their means in comfort but with little income, someone saves something, but they are not rich and Bitcoin could be their chance for a better life if they take advantage of it.

Some of the profits you make seem to be quite large but you are still not satisfied with them because you feel you can make more and become a millionaire if you continue to hold back.

All the people who entered early and sold too early had the same thought.
Psychology will be very influential so you can't just rely on the target price or analysis you have. 
You also really need to have confidence in the target price that you will achieve.

In the past, I also had quite a lot of Bitcoin, but I sold it when there was some hype from the price of $2k to the price of $5k,
it was quite profitable at that time, but in the end, Bitcoin reached more than $15k in 2017.
Of course, there is a bit of regret, but I try to forget about it and focus on the goals ahead.

Work hard enough with a predetermined strategy, buy gradually, and hold for the long term.
You will find your purpose and fulfillment this time if you are able to survive, this is an opportunity that will not come again.
I'm afraid when ATH Bitcoin reaches $100k or more in the next year, there will be no more cheap prices like now.

That's true, it's up to all of us to accept bitcoins and use it on a regular basis to make it succeed. Just buying some coins only to never touch them again is not the way to promote the use of crypto currencies. It's we the average consumers that have the power to demand change in the world. If enough people use bitcoins on a regular basis we can demand change from the companies and government to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. My dream for Bitcoin is that it becomes usable all around the world, in every country and every store. This would make life so much easier if we only have to rely on bitcoin and not exchange currencies everytime we travel. Credit cards was the first attempt to make the world more connected, but the high fees and the risk of falling in the overdraft trap doesn't make it a good tool anymore in every day's life. Bitcoin would be the best alternative and it's up to all of us to push and demand change.

Mostly people say Bitcoin is not for everyone but basically I agree with you. We basically have to accept bitcoins and invest later and we never get access to bitcoins. If we can accept Bitcoin then we can invest only if we get access to Bitcoin and if we don't accept Bitcoin we can't invest. In most cases, people tend to focus more on the positive aspects of Bitcoin, which is why they are interested in investing. Also most people ignore to invest in Bitcoin if their government outlaws Bitcoin considering the negative aspects of Bitcoin. Accordingly, we must consider all aspects of Bitcoin before deciding on Bitcoin later on. If at that time we accept Bitcoin, we will be interested in investing in Bitcoin and we will never have the mindset to invest in Bitcoin. That's why we need to build our knowledge about science first and accept Bitcoin. Later we can say that Bitcoin is for everyone if that person accepts Bitcoin and has the desire to invest.

Seeing something wonderful is one thing, but not knowing how that something good works is another issue that must be addressed first. I also agree with you that bitcoin is not confined to a specific group of individuals, but a lack of sufficient information or literacy in the area where you're taking this innovation is a determining factor in how quickly people will adapt and use this new technology. If there is still a barrier between understanding and adoption, bitcoin will be for some individuals rather than for all, even if it was created to serve all. This is the sole (or one of several) reasons why bitcoin is not yet universally accepted.


Bitcoin is public and can be accessed by anyone that shows interest in it, it has no limitations in that regards.


The government's perception of bitcoin should not cause a citizen of a country to reconsider investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin is something you should pay attention to and conduct your own study on without allowing the opinions of others to make you feel uneasy about it. If the government hasn't completely banned the usage of bitcoin in the area where you live, their statements shouldn't shape your opinion of it until you conduct your own study before making a decision.

I understand that bitcoin can be complex in its technical characteristics,but, an "example of equivalence," one of many, it is in a "Swift" transfer, oh! yeah, traditional banking, then, we can mention many current technological facts that were complex and are now quite common. And!. Whether they understand them or not, they are still used.

bitcoin requires basic knowledge as a means of payment, as an investment it is another level, but equally its advantage is that anyone can enroll with a little information, so in the great digression of its idea, bitoin is so easy to access that that same makes it vulnerable for its users if they are not careful.

To be honest, it is not for everyone. I mean, while Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies offer an open decentralized financial system that anyone can use without asking for "other peoples permission", it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right investment for everyone. Bitcoin's value can be incredibly volatile, and as with any investment, there's no guaranteed return. Hence, it's best to approach it with caution. Don't forget the saying you often here in this forum, "Only invest what you can afford to lose". For someone living paycheck to paycheck, or without an emergency fund, putting their money into Bitcoin might be a risky move. Even though Bitcoin is for everyone to use as a means of transaction, as an investment, it requires careful consideration, research, and understanding of one's financial situation and risk tolerance.

OP have given a suggestion to be positive with the bitcoin. It has been developed for some purpose and the same is getting fulfilled in different forms. Some people have this mentality that bitcoin is highly priced and it is not for us. Initially they should understand how it works, many feel weird of its complicated functioning. For people who hadn't got much of technical knowledge the best option is to understand the price increase and the limited supply.

Once people get aware about the growth chart as well as the limited supply surely they'll have the understanding how the price increase happens. Further the denomination needs to learnt, so that they'll get to know anyone can buy/invest with what they've got. This will Wipeout the understanding that bitcoin is for everyone and it isn't limited for people who or rich or for the technically knowledgeable people.

It seems to me that the starting presumption should be that bitcoin is for everyone because bitcoin is open for everyone to choose whether or not to get involved in it, whether to study it, whether to invest into it, whether to develop upon it, whether to mine it.  Bitcoin is not closed to anyone, friends or enemies, governments or institutions, rich people or poor people.

Just because there are barriers and even people (governments) trying to stop normies from getting involved in bitcoin, that is not about bitcoin restricting anyone.  Bitcoin is open for everyone and for anyone... and some people might need to learn some things about bitcoin if they want to participate at higher levels of involvement. including if some people do not have any discretionary income then they won't be able to buy any bitcoin until they get some discretionary income, and sure, they could use bitcoin in a gambling kind of way, too.. no one is stopping them, but it probably is not good to gamble with bitcoin since it is amongst the best of asset classes that man has ever seen (if not the best).. .it surely is a product of current times, since bitcoin was not really possible in its current form prior to having worldwide ways of communication, such as bitcoin using the internet as a backbone, even though there can be other ways that nodes and miners could synchronize if the internet did not exist, but the internet surely helps to make bitcoin much more powerful than it would be under the use of other forms of communication.

In this thread some members seems to be mixing up outside forces and saying that everyone cannot get into bitcoin because some people have outside forces that they have to overcome in order to get into bitcoin and they might have to go to jail if they try to use or get involved in bitcoin, and surely those people have to make decision about what to do, but those kind of restrictions are not being caused by bitcoin.

Other members are saying that there are aspects of bitcoin that require money, time, or various kinds of knowledge, so surely it is true that some people in society have more knowledge, time and money than others, and so those barriers to bitcoin could have a disparate impact upon folks who are able to participate in bitcoin in terms of both quantity of participation and maybe even the kinds of participation.. but that still does not seem as if bitcoin is excluding anyone.. and yeah sometimes people are not going to be able to fix some aspects of their lives, such as money, time and knowledge.. but does not seem correct to be saying that bitcoin is not available to them or that they might not benefit from bitcoin even if they might not be able to involve themselves in it.
