https://medium.com/@paulennis/types-of-bitcoin-users-7ce1cfb2dbb4#.hz96pax2d'There are many assumptions about Bitcoin users. Oddballs, fantasists, nerds, criminals, idealists and so on and so on. What are they actually like? Well some of these assumptions are true, but it is never as simple as that. One of the simplest, but nonetheless effective, means of ascertaining who uses Bitcoin is to analyse Google Trends, as we find in Yelowitz and Wilson (2015). Although an imperfect method, since ‘search query need not imply active participation,’ Yelowitz and Wilson identify four types of broad Bitcoin users: ‘computer programming enthusiasts, speculative investors, Libertarians and criminals’ (2015, p. 1030). This very much fits the “expected” profile of a Bitcoin users and also closely fits the results of a 2013 survey of 1,000 Bitcoin users that ‘The average user is a 32.1 year old libertarian male.’ [Full disclosure, I am a 32 year old male, but not a libertarian as such. I am more a cypherpunk type]. The reasons for the appeal of Bitcoin are...' so many bitcoin types in this world,but i dont agree with that site,because it mentioning criminals as type of bitcoin user,i think it not should writed,criminal can come from anywhere,not only from bitcoin,but from anything related with money,its can called criminals. |

I think the future of your bitcoin is very good and much better than the currency now. Because of the advantages provided far better than the original, then the currency indirectly if everyone knows it, it's been ascertained would switch to using Bitcoin and eventually became the Bitcoin digital currency that is very much used by all people throughout the world, but I am still a bit doubtful if it is already a reality, Whether Blockchain is capable to hold all the transactions carried out every second with millions of transactions even tens ..??
Why are you so sure that bitcoin will much better than currenct global currency like dollar and euro?its because bitcoin can used for investement and payment?i dont see any strong opinion from what you wrote. |

Please list my some bitcoin wallets( usually web wallets) which allows this: 1. Say i send some bitcoins say 10 bitcoins from Address A to Address B( this is the address of the wallet i am asking about) then withdraw the 10 bitcoins from this wallet to another address say Address C.Now i want such a wallet that does not use Address B to send coins thus making no link between Address A and Address C. 2.In short,the wallet that does not use the same address to send and recieve address? I want this type of wallet because it will make mixing bitcoins free  Any wallets that do this? for first choice,you might find any wallet that give you many generated bitcoin address,try to look multibit and coinbase,its give you different address to receive bitcoin,for second to mix bitcoin without fee,its almost nothing wallet give that service,bitcoin mixer ask you fee,but not give generating many address. |

I think blockchain will be difficult to detect the illegal transactions with bitcoin in their site. Cause the transaction don't need to write for what someone do the transaction.
excatly,even for bitcoin address which used for gamble or address from gambling site,blockchain not care and not trace is as bad or illegal thing,so i think blockchain so far not take responsibility for any illegal thing. |

During from past two years when bitcoin stepped in,Every body takes it lightly but i personally dont know that how it get so high on USD then how it conquered the transactions of banking,there was also a time when 1 BTC was = to 1100$ which also led myself toward this entity crazily,Bitcoin was like catastrophe in transaction sector or what can i say it a 'Currency sector' then we see also a big drop in the price of Bitcoin from 1100$ to 300$ .It boomed suddenly ,Every body head was down thinking that they had lost something because some peoples had transferred there currency in bitcoins because of Current Good situation also and of the value of the 1100.
Still today those people aren't in a big loss because bitcoin is much more valuable still today ,i know it is not much then before it was used to,but i have to admit it that with that big fall ,
btc is still famous
BTC
yes i'm agree with that,bitcoin still famous sincein three years ago really booming and make people lost their minds,now bitcoin still have good name and places in people who interest into investement and currency. |

The bitcoin is way better than the western union and its logical that its better because of the fact that the bitcoin is faster and also better secured.
Compared with the western union, its very slow, if you want to transfer money globally it take ages to get it over to another country, with the bitcoin its just minutes away to globally transfer money to a relative as a example.
bitcoin is can't compared with western union,i think like that because bitcoin almost better than money,and its have different object with western money,money and bitcoin are two different thing. |

I'm not here to advertise any alternative coins , no worries .
Bitcoin is not perfect (nothing is if you ask me) , so I would like to ask users what are the things that you hate ? or simply don't like in Bitcoin and would like to see them changing (If possible of course) ?
I myself don't like the fact that we can't get at least an estimated number of the how much Bitcoin user there is out there or know how Bitcoin is growing .
Transactions shouldn't be taken seriously because there is a lot of services that use bots to make those transactions (sig campaigns , gambling websites , faucets , and exchange services).
Number of wallets in online services such Blockchain.info shouldn't be taken seriously as-well since making several accounts is possible.
delaying transaction is the most i hate from bitcoin,delay transaction happen to me many times,and its realy suck,when i really need that bitcoin,and that bitcoin have so long time to confirm. |

So guys, in a world where the 10% of total transaction are with BTC, what is the advantages for a normal family? What this kind of money can solve? In particular, if some rich don't spend BTC to increase the value and less BTC are spent, how can deflating happen?
Particular, which CONCRETE advantages can the people get from BTC?
Thank you.
what makes you sure about that fact,i dont think 10% of transaction was bitcoin transaction,just give me a source. concrete advantages is low fee and siple using for payment. |

Bitcoin needs to have 5 second confirm times, yeah you heard me right. (you ARE trying to CUT OUT middle men, not CREATE them RIGHT?) More so it needs a better development team otherwise Bitcoin will continue to become dated. (doesn't need changing? you'll see where this gets you soon enough) Yes Bitcoin can "do anything" in one sense, but what is it doing NOW? 5 second confirms. 5 second confirms. 5 second confirms. (1 second confirms dare I even speak of it?) Bitcoin better stop crawling and start walking soon or it will be dumpt like you will not believe. Don't think for a second it " can't happen". The wheel was a great invention but we aren't using stones anymore. -- What needs to be changed for 5 second confirms to compete with current payment processors that would actually cut out many middle men, instead of creating them? It needs to get done, no matter how dramatic the change would be. The original ideas of Bitcoin seemed to have died. It isn't inspirational to describe what Bitcoin is anymore. make sense,i agree with that. but i dont think its will easy to change bitcoin transaction better and more faster,or if that gonna ahppen,it might take big fee,and people not want this happen. |
