Why PEOPLE are so dumb ? (Greek Paypal/Banks closed)

[oblivi]

bitcoin is still being developed. it cannot be adoped by a economy until it is fool proof. and even if bitcoin is better than fiat money then also do you think it is possible to mange day to day expenses with bitcoin.. i dont think soo. their are lots of problem in adopting bitcoin or any other virtual currency for that matter. but who knows what happens in this crazy world.

It's both: bitcoin isn't ready to adopt a full economy, i mean we are haing problems with some spam attack as we speak.. and people aren't ready for bitcoin because they are too low IQ to realize.
Once bitcoin becomes mainstream, it will have scaled up and it will be way simplier to use than it is now, then we'll see millions being flocked within the ecosystem.

bitcoin cant replace fiat...  transactions are too slow or you need to use a gateway.
if you want to buy something for example with two android wallets you have to use a faster altcoin

transaction are instant, confirmation are slow, don't confuse the two, if merchants can accept TX with zero confirmation, from for example off-chain(at least for small amount) we are done

you don't need faster confirmation for big purchase, i mean i can wait 1-2 hours if i want to buy a 32'' monitor 4k....

 I wont never sell something with zero confirmation... 
but maybe you're right,  thanks for your point of view

You already do. Bank wires take days of confirmation, credit card transactions take 180 days of confirmation, but it seems like you have no idea how the underlying protocols work (like most people). Similarly, in the future people will not have any idea about confirmation times with Bitcoin, they will just asume that the instant transaction is safe.

ok I'm agree with you but in this case you need a gateway...  its like a bank,  so where is the freedom of bitcoin ?
my only interest in bitcoin and cryptos is to replace payment in cash,  directly from wallet to wallet or to pos

People are not dumb. They are just being:
1. Cautious - Bitcoin, or in general cryptocurrency is something new. We need time for people to understand. Internet was not the thing back in the day either.
2. Most people are living in the dark, they are rooted in the old economic system when banks are dominant. People can't accept changes overnight just because crisis hit them.

All right let's suppose that Greeks have employed their wealth in Bitcoin. Do you really think Bitcoin will be able to manage the bucks of 10 Million people. Let's talk sense here. People are still getting over the crisis , instead of imposing something which the masses are not aware about at all , why not make the improvisation with their current situation?

First of all, yes, bitcoin is better than fiat money any day, every day. Yes, it is possible to manage day to day expenses with bitcoin assuming there is already a mass adoption taken place as you are comparing it with fiat.. When people can accept cash in grocery stores when there was fiat, they can accept bitcoins too. just like you swap credit card, you can swap a bitcoin card. Its easy peasy.

In Greece :
- banks don't work
- paypal don't work
- money paper is useless after 3 months (it destroy itself because of the poor quality of paper)

Result :
- people can't spend her money (real money from life economies)
- or pay workers at the beginning of month.

Bitcoin solve this definitvely.  

WHY WHY WHY people are so dumb to accept that gov close banks ... ?  
WHY WHY WHY this country don't have see this after 2013 Cyprus event ?  

Argentina CLONE SITUATION.

 

Maybe they weren't aware of what they could do. And bitcoin doesn't ensure to save them , in fact it would ruin their status even more , maybe they had already thought of it as an option and it was not helpful. Calling them dumb is really stupid of you since you yourself don't have a good answer as to how they could redeem themselves.
