So after reading this article and especially the ending:

Quote
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?

99% of the people don`t use bitcoin because they don`t understand it.That`s the main reason.

People who understand bitcoin,don`t use it because they don`t know how to earn btc and where

and for what to spend it.That` just my theory.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

There are many people who are aware about it but don't want to invest their money into it as they have fear of loosing their money in something that they really don't know.

most people only knows that bitcoin is just another currency and can only be used online w/out knowing that bitcoin already exist and already have it own value, more awareness and more info will attract them to invest and place their money in, i will think that another year or two this currency will more popular,.

Yeah, well, people don't realise the potential that bitcoin has. They think that it is just another online currency like liberty reserve that is used by criminals and doomed to collapse.

While this is, not the truth at all.

Why people are not using the bitcoin is because they are scared that the bitcoin collapse and if that happen they will lose a lot of money.
They do not want to take the risk for using them, I can partly understand them for a bit.

Yeah they are scared of price fluctuations as they feel that they will loos all their money in long run if they invest in it, and that is the reason they are not using it.
A business expert knows when and where to invest. Be so smart in finding out the right time and situation and place to invest in to see a good turn over to what you have invested. Never loose hope and confidence when you do business or after investing on something. Try to think twice or more than that before investing your money on something.
I think that some people are stop making use of Bitcoin because they do not have the patient that is needed when you want to make money with Bitcoin.
Some people just do not have the money to invest in Bitcoin because at the moment the price is pretty high.

Are you serious?otherwise from that, many people is very patience to make a money from bitcoin. maybe they not have an enough of the amount to make invest into bitcoin but a lot of people is starting to get money from bitcoin with free or not needed an amount to doing this.

In my opinion people masses are not using BTC because of the technicality, People love doing things simply "success of Creditcards is an evidence of that", BTC would be more interactive, also confirmations etc... would make it a more complicated and time-taking process. BTC is very convenient for country to another country transactions IMO but not for buying stuff at the mall etc.

Davis196 i agree with you,its not you're theory,it is also mine theory too Smiley
People are afraid of something they dont know,it was like this for a thousands of years.
Why it would change now? people dont know bitcoin well,it is something new,so they dont get involved with it.It is scary for them to loose money because they have deposited on some mystery btc wallet hahaha.

It's the simplicity indeed. Everyone wants do to things without thinking. Just but your card there enter a code and that's it.
With bitcoin online but also offline things are a little bit complicated for them, so they avoid it.

Maybe some people just do not believe in the future and do not think that they are going to be able to make as much money as most people are thinking.
I am not going to stop using Bitcoin because for me it is working out.

Bitcoin do has it's own value but let's not remove the fact that bitcoin is base in USD value where USD is our national currency and it's widely used all over the world. So if bitcoin is not yet accepted then we have a chance to convert it to USD and use that currency for awhile.

Yeah bitcoin can be just like a bank that has credit card but the difference is we are using devices mobile phones that you can withdraw in bitcoin atm..
Just like in singapore and i think some people are attracting it because they can also savings and gain benefits in bitcoin price increase..
But they are still stopping bitcoin because many bad company are scam. like investing site like hashocean they believe before that hashocean is trusted but in few months in their balance gone or the site is down never comeback..

I am not sure what is stopping people fro using Bitcoin but I can think of a couple of reasons, I think that one of the reasons is that people are afraid of getting hacked and I cannot blame those people.
Maybe some people are also not patient enough to wait to make money.
Yes, many people are not sure about bitcoins and find it unfamiliar. They may percieve it as a risky business due the drastic fluctuation of bitcoin value. Some may think of it as unsafe due to hacking. Well people don't wanna lose their money. The fact that it is new currency and illegal in some countries might be some of the reasons.
Yes I too the main problem with bitcoins is lack of knowledge. Many people are unaware from the existennce of
cryptocurrencies. Only the ones involved with computer related works, get familiar with bitcoin ecosystem. Also, many people who know about aren't very sure about it, they find it difficult to acknowledge a virtual currency.

though im afraid that we cannot change this problem to be honest because people will not want to know anything more about something they htink it is illegal, i think there should be news programs that tell that it isnt illegal

Yeah advertising in tv shows is the best that you can promote bitcoin for daily and weekly advertising so that more people will be interested in bitcoin and expect for bitcoin indemand and more price increase if it will happen..

most people only knows that bitcoin is just another currency and can only be used online w/out knowing that bitcoin already exist and already have it own value, more awareness and more info will attract them to invest and place their money in, i will think that another year or two this currency will more popular,.

And also most of them dont believe that it can be used to be a real money just need to convert it to fiat or maybe not interested . Just like my friend after i've learned about bitcoin I tried to introduce it to him also and he gets interested to it but after a few days he said he did not get or understand everything with bitcoin but I think he is not truly interested so he ignored it .

The main problem is lack of desire to use it, the second one is poor knowledge about bitcoin and the third is problems with internet connection or electricity.

Maybe some people just do not believe in the future and do not think that they are going to be able to make as much money as most people are thinking.
I am not going to stop using Bitcoin because for me it is working out.
yeah exactly which we call Insecurity: It may be popular among the people but not trust worthy because people are still afraid what if bitcoin is simply scam like many others in internet. Most of the internet users are still unaware of bitcoin because bitcoin is not creating
any kind of awareness programs.

There is absence of promotional events in bitcoin which can make it more popular among the people, if it is promoted on higher level then it will create an awareness among the people.
