Public still largely unaware of what Bitcoin is, how to use it and how to obtain

[NorrisK]

this is the sad thing that alot of ppl don't know what bitcoin is
only like 20-30 % in my country knows what bitcoin is and that
is really sad

That is quite a large number actually.. Where do you live and are you sure the numbers are correct?

This is nothing surprising in my opinion. Bitcoin had more than 10 big areas that one individual should understand before using it. Basics of how it works are necessary for a new user. Why should you trust it, how to send transactions, how to obtain it, how to secure it is a big one, etc..

Trying to tackle all these at once is very hard. This needs interest and time and that's why this mass adoption thing is taking this long. All that we can is keep working hard on familiarizing people and have patience.

Logical fallacy, no one knows how the fiat currency system works, because if peope knew, there would be riots all over the place.

Everyone would be better of if we switched from fiat to Bitcoin (well everyone except the 0.001% who is printing the fiat currency) but people need to realize how much they are getting scammed first.

I believe Bitcoin's adoption rate is increasing as time goes by, and its ecosystem is improving!After a few years, ppl will get used to it and use it, like the early stage of credit card!

Public is largely unaware of how to use and obtain gold too...

It's very true, people don't know enough about Bitcoin and what they think they know (about Bitcoin only being for drug dealing) is wrong.

I'm starting crypto courses near me later this year but the advertising is more about money not necessarily about Bitcoin. People need to see the benefits of crypto and how it can help them gain control of their money.

You can't teach someone who doesn't know how to install an app on his phone about something as complicated and confusing as bitcoin , believe me I know a lot off them.
We need to chose easier targets (the geeky people are the simplest they know how to do research ) .
As for other relatively harder targets . We need to develop easier ways to make there first contact smooth and easy .
I find the main software a little bit confusing. I think it would better to avoid it. At first contact .
The seed concept is confusing to, if you chose electrum for first contact .
The waiting for confirmation also confusing .
The online wallets not so secure .
So you better plan before you start a conversation with anyone about bitcoin.

Spending tests for digital goods are the best aproch.
You give him some bitcoin for free or for some $$ and you make him buy the goods.
(give him a taste of what bitcoin  can do).

good luck teaching

We all need to take some responsibility in spreading the awareness. Tell friends and family about it. Support stores that accept bitcoin. Pay for goods (in your local stores) using bitcoin so friends and other customers can see you using and and hear the discussion about the transaction.

Given that the financial markets are sliding right now, I wonder if we'll see a positive bump...we've only seen a slide leading up to the financial market slide. Only time will tell, I guess, but we can all do our part to spread good words and experiences related to bitcoin.

There is a massive amount of peoples who are unaware of what bitcoin is and how to earn/get it.
The main reason unknownability is illiteracy, social backwardness, accessability to hardware and somewhat knowledge.
That is why we have to spread the information about bitcoin among the present generation and the upcoming generation. As many respectful members have already said that during this financial drop in the price of bitcoins, it is the right time to educate peoples about bitcoin and to show them ways to get it.

that's really true...even when I try to teach some peoles about bitcoin they found it too much tough due to its complexity and I also thinks that's its depend on them that how much can they take in their those small brains..as because I know they wil not understand this clearly because it completely new to them and even they have never faced so tough things before so it will generally take some time to get an clear idea to them
