What's stopping people from using bitcoin?

[lister storm]

Probably the reason behind not using bitcoin can be the lack of understanding of the technology. Many people will think bitcoin is illegal if they come to know that it can be mined through a computer program...

Those who are not tech savy they will have problem understanding the logic behind bitcoin. That's the main constraint.

Yeah,but the thing is that im pretty sure,that not many people here
can really understand the mechanism of bitcoin,actually i cannot,i just know how it works but im not 100% accurate.

well I guess most of the people don't understand how bitcoins work though I don't think that it is that bad, in my opinion media has a much bigger bad impact on bitcoin users because people believe in it

I feel that we are also responsible for stopping people from using or earning bitcoins as we don't want that everyone around us should start earning bitcoins and should know about bitcoins, we don't introduce them to bitcoins in a proper way, may be our selfish nature or whatever it may be, on one hand we say that more and more people should get into bitcoins and on other hand we don't want that should be aware what we are earning...

The main problem is that people just don't even know what bitcoin is and how to use it, many people think that it's a scam or something else without any sense.

yeah a lot of people think bitcoin is an MLM business or something. Sometimes I feel angry when one of the big MLM using bitcoin to advertise

See, people will find good and bad uses of any asset, they are getting introduced with. The main thing is how we represent bitcoins to a new user, if represented properly and in an unique way then surely it will have an impact on him/her and hence they will start using bitcoins.

I wanted today to eat at the restaurant here which accepts Bitcoin. It wasn't there anymore! That's what stopped me using Bitcoin today. And I probably never ever will get a chance to pay in a restaurant with Bitcoin.

If you are really passionate by paying only by bitcoin then you have other chances like paying with bitcoin debit cards, it takes some little fees but if the amount is big the fees wouldn't be an issue.
From the recent mined blocks I see that the number of transaction has been decreased too much which means that people are waiting for bitcoin to reach the moon.

I just wanted to do the Real Thing. Paying by CC is paying by CC.

I just wanted to do the Real Thing. Paying by CC is paying by CC.

But to fund it you didn't put cash on it, instead of that you loaded your bitcoin debit card with bitcoin which i doubt anyone would ever think about this.
P.S I was thinking that people have stopped using bitcoin maybe because of the holidays time this month until September or so.

I have the same intention with you but it's rarely to find a restaurant can accept bitcoin. every time I need to exchange my bitcoin before into fiat to buy some food. and I feel , it's very complicated for myself. sometimes I searching about that but just find a restaurant accepted bitcoin in foreign.

I guess it's a good thing that there are many companies that sell BTC debit cards like for example: spectrocoin, right?

I own a restaurant but i know no one or almost no one has any information about bitcoin, this is isane there are 50.000 people where i live and no one knows about bitcoin, or has it. Soo i cant try it but i had thinked to put the symbol of bitcoin and saying we accept bitcoin, to make people research about it.

Bitcoin is much more complicated than fiat is.
I think it is the main reason why most people hav not tried bitcoin yet.

It is not that complicated if you are just a currency user. It is just like using a credit card or paypal. It will be complicated if you are a developer or at least a miner, you will have to deal with a lot of technicalities. But for normal user, it is just receive and send bitcoins. And we can just use online wallet.

That is correct using bitcoin is not complicated i think the people who are saying bitcoin is complicated they only make things complicated even it is not.
For me it is very convenient to use sending money, paying bills and receiving money for other users.

Maybe they are just too lazy to learn something new. And bitcoin is quite a new idea to them. They are not willing to embrace something that is new to them. But I think, if people will just give it even a little try, they will appreciate the good things that bitcoin offers to its users.

We can't blame people if they can't really use bitcoin easily there are people who can easily adopt or fast learners.
And there are some who are slow learners.
So I understand those people that are experiencing that way.

Actually there are many reasons why people stop using bitcoin. I often know that a person stops using bitcoin is because they are busy with real work so there is no time to use bitcoin again. Perhaps that was the reason that most people say.

[neonshium]

In my opinion, maybe because the price is fluctuating. So, they fear that if the price drops drastically.

Indeed. One of the possible reason is the fear to volatility of bitcoin. Some find it uncomfortable to put their money a coin that is not so stable enought and might had a chance to lose their coins.

Yeah true, one of my friends whom when I told about bitcoins said that ok he is fine with taking bitcoins ( I actually bought some online item from him ) but he claimed me as scammed when price dropped , though I later gave him extra to make him happy.

It should be told as non time consuming investment so that this people will have a better look at it. They think it will be another work that takes a long time and that is the wrong idea which prevented them from knowing it.

Bitcoin is not complicated if you spend some time in learning, what really bitcoin is ?? And the main that stopping people not to using bitcoin is that they don't know about bitcoin.

Yes, I also think that's the main reason for people not to use BTC on is they are not being familiar with Bitcoin more yet.. Once they become familiar with Bitcoin then they can use, I know it will be some difficult at beginning but believe me its’ fun and they will love it !

Yeah, you are right, the same problem was with me also, before when I was unaware with bitcoin, I did not preferred to adopt it, for me it was only credits or points and its conversion to money was looking as impossible, so I preferred to stay away from it.

I agree some people is getting bored with real jobs,because they must spend a part of their time to went to their office, and a lot of their time is wasted on the things that are not important.

So what's the point there on the people who are getting bored with real jobs to bitcoin? They are also bored with bitcoin?
That's why they are just stop using bitcoin at all.
