Why dont more people use it? It is very strange.

Too many sheeple i guess, or just simpleton morons, yet we got hundreds of millions of people on the internet and so few in bitcoin...

What is the meaning of Hash.
Why some blocks are generated in 50 minutes and some are in 2 min gap.
Why some blocks are filled with only 500KB when it can accommodate up to 1MB of transactions.
Some blocks contain only mining reward transaction - why

Basically mining is the difficult part for me to understand.

To me, how could Bitcoin go trusted so fast?
I mean people most likely do not trust if you go at them and say "hey bro wanna buy some virtual currency money?" but bitcoin passed that stage. it is great.

At some point they will have no choice, other currencies are far worse, and all it takes is 1 google search to find bitcoin isnt it?

Bitcoin will thrive!!!

Why are people in the newbie section opening up 10 threads/day about the same topic, instead of using the search box in the upper-right corner.

It is a very hard thing to understand indeed...

Like many other people I also do not understand what is mining. But I have some idea what is the need of it. Our transactions are carried by mining process. But, to use bitcoin we need not to understand the mining part.

Additional to what I've already mentioned, I'm currently studying the algorithm in which bitcoin is based on. Also, Merkle trees and ECC is a difficult thing to understand, especially if you don't have a basic knowledge on cryptography. But these things shouldn't be a concern to the average user--most of these terms involve users with a developer skill or has the knowledge to understand such things.

Most multi-signature wallet addresses only require two out of three private keys in order to spend the balance in it.

Quote from: The Bitcoin WIki
-snip-
The actual requirement (number of private keys needed, their corresponding public keys, etc.) that must be satisfied to spend the funds is decided in advance by the person generating this type of address, and once an address is created, the requirement cannot be changed without generating a new address.

Cold storage = offline storing private key

Off chain transaction = Transaction that is resolved inhouse and then broadcaster later on the blockchain. Ex: Faucetbox

Mining = Securing/ Broadcasting the transactions to the entire network

Private key= Secret key that is used to access your money

When we mine bitcoin it us said that in order to fund a block we or our system has to solve some kind of problem. What kinds of problem are they? Now for solving those problems we are getting paid so does the solution if those problems help in advancement in certain industry, technology or does it help us to learn about the universe we live in??

the hardest thing is to understand how the bitcoin works and how the mining works besides that using it is really easy in my opinion and it does not require any knowledge

Maybe if you would use a wiki or something, it takes less than 15 min to read through and it will make you understand it imediately.

Dont be lazy guys.

Getting started in the world of Bitcoin can be a little confusing.
I'd like to know what is the concept that confuses you the most and why.

Understanding what happens while a transaction takes place took me a lot of time to understand in the beginning. Since I knew how that works out I was able to understand how a double spend can work.
Bitcoin is so much different to the fiat money world. And in that case understanding the bitcoin basics can take a few weeks to some months for some persons. But it's definitily worth to study it.I'm sure this will pay off in the future in some way.
