A lot of people do not even know the bitcoin itself so that is the first reason why they are not using it.
Another reason is because a lot of people are thinking the bitcoin is only used by criminals because a lot of media are saying this if you search for bitcoin this come also up in the search results.

The main reason behind people not using bitcoin is that they don't have proper knowledge of it and they dont want to try something new and that is the reason they are not using it.

People stop using Bitcoin because you can not pay with Bitcoin directly, but you have to sell them en transfer it to a credit card.
And it can take some time before you make a profit with Bitcoin.

No internet connection. People in other places doesn't have a stable internet connection and much worse no connection available. So they are not into using bitcoin and preferred only the one that easy to access.

The biggest problem that we are facing and we want that more and more people adopt bitcoin as a currency but they don't want to learn something new and hesitate to invest in crypto and they don't have faith in virtual currency.
These Illegal and fake things which is created by international Business idiots. So let that be...

That's another reason why. And some people from third world country can't even afford to buy a mobile phone or even pay a internet provider.
Also, some of them thinks it's been used for illegal purposes and they don't want to get involve.

That's why bitcoin will never replaced the banking system like many of bitcoiners like.

Bitcoin is not young. It's just not reached it's possible potential. And if decades past and still the price is the same as today, then bitcoin is really a fail one.

Yeah and price is really important factor in not people using bitcoins, as the price is falling and it is not going to a higher level and majority of them thinks that it is dead.

Yeah actually they have fear of getting scammed or robbed online when it comes to spendig money online and that is the primary reason behind stopping people from using bitcoin.

I am confused as to why a lot of people who say using bitcoin is a difficult thing? if you have trouble in using bitcoin?
but it is not like that you just need a wallet. even you do not need email

Yeah right understanding it takes some time and some reading. You are lucky enough if there will be someone who will teach on how to start, to earn and how to make money from it faster.

What I've noticed among my peers is that there are still questions as to bitcoin's legitimacy.  There are questions as to it's legality and concerns of liquidity.  If bitcoin's value were to stabilize then many of these concerns would be rectified and questions of legitimacy could begin to be rectified.  At which point, legal precedence could be developed that would help draw a clearer picture of bitcoin's place in our global economy.  I believe that once the questions surrounding its legality are addressed, there will be an avalanche of new bitcoin adopters.

We are finding more users who are entering into bitcoin but we want that people around them should also vie bitcoin in the same manner as they does or else adoption will be limited to certain extent.

The price volatility is a major culprit in why people shy away from the use of bitcoin.
The fear of putting anything into it that they know they could lose in a heart beat if there is a shift change in the market. Especially those that had a lot involvement in the stock market and lost a lot recently.

Yeah bitcoin and stocks goes in hand in hand when it comes to volatility as nothing is guaranteed people earned very high profits at initial stage in stocks but in long run they lost everything.
