Bitcoin is just to complicated for the average person to use..

1980: No one will ever have a personal computer it is to complicated to use and serves no purpose.

1990: No one will ever use the internet it's to complicated to use and serves no purpose have you heard of a video recorder.

So true. There are many other examples where people ignored inventions because they could find no use for it. I remember when I bought my first computer everybody said 64MB of RAM was an overkill.
Same thing when CDs started coming out people were saying they are too big and not as handy as the tapes, 10 years later nobody was using tapes anymore.

With all new technologies there is always some thing or application that takes them main stream. The GUI for computers, porn made VHS mainstream instead of betamax, and the walkman made personal music players popular. I think we have yet to see the app or device that does this for bit coin. It will be exciting when it does.

Tapes? Vinyl LPs were all the rage! Tapes were just used to pirate music and being able to listen to your LPs in your car! Hah, the good old times!

Easier to use than email.

Bitcoin is not to complicated for the average person to use... maybe it is just hard to comprehend for the average person.

[Jeremycoin]

BTCitcoin is the future....
It just like when Steve Jobs said "iPhone is the future"

I don't think it's too complicated for the average person to use, I believe it's meant to be integrated in to services, which then extends its features to the average person. Sort of how mail providers manages everything to do with SMTP so you can simple login, compose and send an email within seconds...

the difference between the internet and bitcoin is nobody ever stole 3/4 of a million internets ...

This is what they joe public say about it and gave you examples of other inventions average people believed was to complicated now look at where we are at with that complicated tech.

Bitcoin does have a bright future and the more people wake up from government and bank control the more they will be willing to learn what this awesome tech is and the power it can give you as a person. Roll on the next few years!

TCP/IP is just too complicated for the average person to use.

Yet here we are, with every random computer illiterate happily surfing the web.

Oh and by the way, fiat money and our current monetary system is way, WAY too complicated for the average person to even remotely grasp.

I hardly think the average person has ever heard of TCP/IP but hey, we still managed to get 2+billion people online

i must buy a MD (minidisc) with 64mb .... and now, i have an microSD 64Gb.

but for me, it's just normal.

so, i have all my life economies in Bitcoin now.

the most powered and secured network on the earth ... bankster, go to your office.

IMO, bitcoin is not that complicated for the average person to use. But the problem is that safely storing your coins, protecting them from wallet robberies and hacks is a bit complex and a time consuming process.

[cryptocult live]

Not understanding it means not trusting it. This time it's money not just to learn how to use a searchengine or windows OS.

[futureofbitcoin]

Bitcoin certainly isn't that complicated to use, but it's quite complicated to obtain/buy.

The main downside to bitcoin is all of the hacks and scamming. It gives bitcoin a bad name. But then again hacking/scamming is unavoidable as credit card details are often stolen as well. Security will always be an issue as long as people are greedy and feel the need to steal from others.

It's quite sad, seeing as the people with the technical know-how of how to hack these systems and remain anonymous would probably be able to start very profitable legitimate business that benefit the world.

Everything's too complicated for the average idiot to understand. The main issue is how to make the average idiot dependent on using crypto.

That's right, Bitcoin is not very hard to use, any internet user can figure it out in minutes but keeping the funds secure might be little difficult for some people as hackers are finding newer ways of breaching in computers.
