What's stopping people from using bitcoin?

[OrangeII]

People are stopping with using Bitcoin when they are making mistakes and that is because they are greedy and not the patience to wait so that is really bad.
But the best thing that you have to do with Bitcoin is to hold it for a moment and wait for a nice moment to sell it.

probably a big mistake that they do so they stop using bitcoin, besides that they also hate bitcoin. I doubt they use bitcoin well, it's because they made a mistake and do not want to try again

[Oralmat]

I think the reason why the people is stopping in using bitcoin is there  own reason, They might have no time for it, They are scammed and all of their bitcoin are gone. this is a examplr only

yeah everyone has their own reasons for exit or quit bitcoin? but whatever the reason. I think it is unfortunate if you're out of bitcoin just because you're desperate because it has been lost or hit by a scam?
you can still fix it and make a profit again in bitcoin

Yes, but majority is always with bitcoins, personally i don't saw a one person how has left the bitcoins for the desperate, actually i saw a only those people who don't know about the bitcoins so that why they are not using it, and secondly we are like me, i am always with bitcoins, i hear a lot of rumors about the bitcoins but i don't believe on it, in this question it is like a rumors, and nothing.

i think their ignorance is the biggest wall for them not wanting to accept bitcoin, people always fear what they don't know, it's the same with bitcoin imho

[graphicalx]

Fear of the new? Some people have "beliefs" that its not for me, its for others, its something new, im comfortable with how i do things etc.

Well we can't blame them for their ignorance, that's why it is also our task to tell them that they can benefit using bitcoin. But if they will just still ignore it, well maybe it is their attitude that's stops them in using bitcoin.

I think if they ignore it right now they will loss many bitcoin because like me in 2014 i ignore it And i think theres no money in internet. I think it is just scheme and networking because in that year many scammers in the internet. But now i loss many time in  online games and didnt earn money for a long time i loss many bitcoin.

Maybe the lack of informations.. But mainly bloody ignorance. Many whom I tryed to explain about Bitcoin they imideatly say that they like cash (don`t want to hear about 'virtual money') but when you study theyr habbits you see that they barely use cash (they use almoust all of the time CC (wich is 'virtual money'))

[boybugs18]

They think that it is not reliable because it is virtual currency and it is not regulated by the government thats all I can say about now because still fiat is in the upper hand when we use it without hassle and not too many site using bitcoin when compared on fiat.

CC isn't virtual money in form since you will pay for it after. In bitcoin as virtual currency, the payment was reel time since bitcoin itself is the money.

Yes lack of information is one of the factor because if they will go on to a pure research they will know what bitcoin is capable of.

[Akupuniard]

I think that people are just scared to try something new, it's similar to joining new company or community, you are feeling weird and not comfortable at the beggining.

Didn't you just post this on a different thread?
Yup. You just did and I even checked your account activity posts to verify it. We get that you want us to know that Paypal is trying to build a platform that accepts bitcoin payments but you don't really have to spam it you know. As what I've said, there's already a seperate thread about this created a few weeks ago.

It's not very difficult to answer this question. People still do not have the habit of using digital processes for transactions with money. But this is changing gradually. It is a path with no return.

yeah they had previously enjoy with older systems such as the use of paper money. but then bitcoin came up with a fresh breeze ?
that digital money could be used as currency nice and they are disturbed by it they probably will not use bitcoin ?

this will happen when most of the world get electricity and internet connection to be able to use these digital money. and after giving them the power, they need to be taught how to use it

[sobsitesearch]

People do remember bitcoin price were at 1000 dollars ,and the same way they exposed it then they made the same when the price went to 200 dollars soo i believe this is the main reason and the others is the image connected to dark marketplaces.

Although bitcoin is more popular now, still many people are not using computer or should i say didnt know how to use it. not everyone are fortunate to have a gadgets that can be use for surfing online.

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 guess people are afraid that they will get caught in possession of bitcoins. They seem to have the impression that bitcoin is illegal. I have no idea how they get that impression, but it does happen.

I think it's because the dark net associations with bitcoin. But seriously, if they don't use it for illegal stuff, then they're fine.

Maybe that's one of the reason that people stops in using bitcoin, maybe they just don't feel the value of bitcoin against dollar. But you are right, for sure people will remember it and go back to bitcoin easily and going to use it once it reaches $1,000.

[Enotche]

In my opinion, propaganda on the media and communication with the crime just stops people from using Bitcoins. And also perhaps a lack information + psychological factor, namely the habit of living in the old order and the usual reluctance to move forward into the future. This applies to the older generation.
