complexity and laziness. it is enough...
just ask your mother or your friend's girlfriend, if she knows what is p2p, private key or QR code...and if she even care. people don't what to learn anything extra over something, what works just fine for them like paypal, modern banks and their applications or wireless payments.
I agree with you entirely. People. It is unexplainable but true. They dont want anything to do with what will make life more complex. They want it easy. They dont want to be burdened by more or learn more. Just stay with what they know and thats it.

yeah you have a point, but this kind of people are those who are not really interested on the thing that they are using, that also includes bitcoin. some reason people dont use btc is because they are having a hard time trusting it, because when using bitcoin youre on your own no government laws will be applied when youre using btc so if you got scam and you know who did it or you even have a proof of getting scam the government cant do anything because bitcoin is outside of the government. and one more reason why people dont use btc, because of its instability.

I think part of the prevention is the buying process. It is not simple enough for the everyday person. Technology still gives people troubles, and only the technologically advanced can purchase bitcoin.

People don't see a need to buy when they can buy anything they want with fiat, but if you get the Bitcoin directly by doing some activity you are way more prone to use it. For example if you get paid in a sig campaign, you are more prone to spend this money. If I didn't had Bitcoin, I would have to buy it, and I would hold it but not treat it as something I would use to buy something.

I am just an earner and I havent tried to buy yet. My bitcoins arr from faucets and signature campaign. But seeing how it grows I might consider buying and get profit from the increase

Yes, buying bitcoin and spedning it for some purpose would only happen once bitcoin prices get stable (and the time 99% of total bitcoins will be mined out). Till then people will find it too hard to spend bitcoin for lower value. Yes, bitcoin is in it's investment phase. So, hold it.

You meant to say the lower value of bitcoin is the reason stopping people from spending bitcoins. I do not think so. Many people are just trading bitcoin for some profits. No one is ready for full benefits from bitcoin it would give us in 5 or 10 years. Lack of merchants and lack of availability of needed products are the real stoppers.

For the real bitcoin believer, who can understand the up coming value of bitcoin's worth. it is too hard and never will decide to spend bitcoin now itself. Those who do not understand bitcoin's future would be ready to spend bitcoin now itself for any profit from their purchase price.

Most people are reactionary, they will all jump onto bitcoin but only when it is too late. Look at any state that goes into hyperinflation, by the time they want to get things like gold it is way too late.
It's the same as safety. often an accident needs to happen before safety is considered even if it was obvious at the time that these safety features should have already been there.

I think as a currency, it's horrible. Price stability is essential, otherwise you'll be facing wild swings in your spending power. Also, for micro payments, its not particularly advantageous over tradition bank systems. NFC Touch Pay systems have really made my life a-lot easier.

I think bitcoin is still a novelty thing so only people familiar with computers and the internet can operate with them. Probably next year with all the media interviews and articles it will get more and more mainstream.

So after reading this article and especially the ending: One thing is for certain: having made Bitcoin less of a security worry, transparency will now be key in attracting users to new models, placing control of funds and fees in an upfront way in their own hands. I'm wondering what's stopping people from using bitcoin? And now I'm talking about people who already aware of bitcoin and how it works but still not using it. The price is now pretty much stable for more then a year, security issues are out of the question - so why we can't see in 2015 more companies switching to it, especially considering the unstable condition of moden economy? I think that the notion that bitcoin's value will gorw is stopping people from using. Why would I spend my bitcoins now, if its value will be higher next year. Thus i see many holding bitcoins, and spending fiat instead.

Knowledge and convenience are the reasons that people can not use bitcoin everywhere. There are a lot of businesses that would make out great with Bitcoin here in the USA. See the IRS has classified has classified Bitcoin as an asset. I am not completely knowledgeable on the IRS laws here in the USA yet, but this is a big help for Bitcoin. Once I do my research, I will clarify and publish.

actually i prefer a price increase than a perfect stability, i would pay much less bitcoin for anything, so no price stability is not better than price increase it's only better than dumping, for obvious reason

so many reason, for example: they got bored , they think they dont need bitcoin anymore, they think that bitcoin dont have bright future (i believe bitcoin have bright future)
I think that is for the past users. Seeing how bitcoin drop made them dowm and got bored losing their invested money. But for new users like me. Seeing it grow makes me more excited.

Currencies should not float more than 20% of their price or else it is only a risk not a plan or strategy to invest in it. Stability is the satisfaction and price increase is just hope/greed.
