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

[Sharpe]

Well, before answering this question, we should agree who is the average person?
Is it an American teenager who practically lives in the virtual world every day, and never separate from computers and smartphones.
Is that a pensioner from Brazil, poor and without electricity, who had never seen a computer in his life.
Is it a single mother from Africa, who lives in a tent.
Maybe we are talking about a middle-aged Russian from Siberia who has no confidence in anything that comes from the west.
Or  we are simply talking about a middle-aged American who use the Internet just to read e-mail and watch Facebook, but always prefer to see the money in his wallet rather than have some virtual money or use the credit card.
So, I would say that Bitcoin is not to complicate for average person to use but much more important question is who is average person today in the world and how many people in the world really have necessary foundation, habits and life style to even start to think about using bitcoin.

Of course there is no 'average' person and the definition will differ from country to country, but I think the average person in the Western world can use it. I'd consider myself average and have no problem working my wallet or using bitcoin. I don't think my parents would have much difficulty either.

not really, it just depends how you explain it to non tech people.
I just describe like this: a bitcoin wallet is like a digital cash account. Your public key is an account number you give out to receive money, the private key is the pin number used to spend it. Probably not the best explanation in the world but whenever I've mentioned the distributed ledgers etc peoples eyes glaze over lol.

By saying that learning and understanding what Bitcoin is is overkill for your average person. By that I'm assuming you meant the average person that does not necessarily need to understand what it is, but who remains fearful to dabble in it because of the lack of understanding, but being the problem. I would have to say that the exercise of trying to wrap your brain around the concept of cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin in particularly in mind was an eye-opening reminder that our Fiat system has become increasingly flawed and corrupted. This reminder alone was worth the effort.

There is no complications using bitcoin for an average person . We should the way on how to explain bitcoin to them . If they interested it is not hard for them to understand .

[Carlos Caprio]

There really is no historical precedent for digital currencies. For that reason it'll take a long time to digest.

Bitcoin for those who do not understand is complicated, because transactions occur peer to peer, and there is no intervention from anywhere. So independent price / value bitcoin because of the ups and downs determined by buying and selling factors, is not complicated at all ... But it becomes complicated because it is mixed with political problems, financial sentiment, stability of a country is also an issue that can complicate bitcoin.

think bitcoin is too complicated and only fools find it complicated
and I don't think that Bitcoin is too complicated for me and most fools don't know what bitcoin is and in detail
and if after they know what Bitcoin is, I'm sure they will like it very much.

In think it is not complicated to average people. Its depends who describe bitcoin for average people. If you can use internet i think you can also use bitcoin. You can advise new people who use bitcoin. Bitcoin wallet is your money store, keep safe place your password.

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.

Yes its too complicated for average people. Especially for those who do not have any idea about bitcoin, they need to have enough knowledge so they can clearly understand the things they need to do in investing in bitcoin. We can help them by giving them proper information about bitcoin, or by sharing our experience with bitcoin.

Its a normal scenario. Younger people are often more advantageous in terms of the use of technology compared to older one. Progress does not wait for those who can't caught up that is why continuous gaining of knowledge is important so that he will be not left behind.

very good examples led by the author! all the time and once bitcoin will become a means of calculation, etc.

I guess this depends in the individual that we are talking about. There are still a lot of erderly that is not stopping to learn a lot of things. They are not satisfied to wjat they know so they seek more of it by travelling to other countries or make some experiments about it. I am also an average person but I can use Bitcoin, it is not that complicated unless we are talking about the blockchain or how it works.

Most human are tuned to repel changes and new innovations. It's like a block of skepticism.
It would take a while for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to break through and go mainstream, with mass adoption.

[adjong]

for me the information is only complicated for other people because they do not know how to make the bitcoin or what they want to buy. as much as a bitcoin question that you should only be able to use if it is good to use for me as long as you have a personal computer and internet ok that's a bitcoin and your time is not complicated everyday

[Benjamin Roberts]

The technology here isn’t Bitcoin, it’s digital currency. And with any emerging technology, the first few attempts are gonna have some problems. Now, you cannot deny that hundreds of millions of dollars have disappeared for various reasons with Bitcoin users. Therefore, anything is also difficult at the beginning, and no more.

[Janet Wright]

I think bitcoin is just complexibility  for people who don't search on Bitcoin. Nowadays, with developed technology, it is not difficult for us to learn anything. Thus, really understanding before we start in Bitcoin is so necessary even not the average people.

[Cryptokarl]

I do not see bitcoin as been complicated for an average person. Its very easy to learn if you give it the time it deserves. No one is a fountain of knowledge in this context. Everyone can learn

Well everything always starts with doubt, and it is healthy because we know we still use reason, logic and skepticism to further search for answers in the future. When trying to learn something new, we tend to give up easily when we can not get the hang of it. Bitcoin is not as hard and complicated as it looks, in fact it makes things a lot more easier than ever before, so trying to invest some time in learning it will eventually give us opportunities to have a better future.

These illustrations are very apt to the faith most people are keeping up with that despite how bashed cryptocurrency has undergone by some government idiots or how complex the man in the streets think it is, bitcoin will eventually become mainstream.

Going to the topic, I think what makes bitcoin seem difficult is the technicalities involved with the blockchain phenomenon. Non science inclined minds and programmers (including yours truly) always find it slightly hard to understand the workings of the bitcoin because of the manner of innovation involved. Soon, the whole blockchain tech will be easily understood just like how the computer and Internet are today clearly understood.

Usually that is the first reaction of most people when confronted with new technological advances. I clearly remember that the same thing happened when cellular telephony began to be known by the masses, and most people thought that it was something inaccessible, reserved only for millionaires and that its use was going to be very complicated.

Now we see it as something simple and an essential part of our day to day, even when the current smartphones are much more complex than the first movil phones, so within a few years, when the use of cryptos is something natural and ordinary, many will wonder why we had not used them before.

if I personally do not feel complicated in plunging into bitcoin, on the contrary I like and love, because plunging into bitcoin can find out the development of finance in the world. the problem also includes the knowledge we get from this forum.
