What's stopping people from using bitcoin?

[shinratensei_]

Based on my own experience. First i dont want btc because of lack og knowledge about that. Only my friend guide thats why im hook now on btc. This forum also teach me a lot knowledge  about btc

Then you are just satisfied with the current knowledge you have?

Come on and wake up and start doing all by yourself. If you will succeed to learn those basic knowledge then Im sure you won't stop now to use this currency.

He already takes a step which he thought was the truth, for you know there are some people not having a more skill to learn about them(bitcoin) alone and needed someone become their guides. and maybe for later they can learn about bitcoin alone.

The lack of knowledge and the misunderstanding regarding its backing technology were the one which makes users to stand away from bitcoin as well other digital currencies.

This is very true, lack of knowledge and bad press leads to misunderstanding Bitcoin.  People tend to just believe on what is in the news without doing any research.  Sadly often times bitcoin is always involved in illegal stuff when it is presented in news.

It's the sad reality, yes. In all the time I am in Bitcoin, the only positive thing that I heard from the media is that banks and other financial institutions are interested in the block chain technology. That's it.

but i think it s still a good news to hear that at least the government has started thinking about block chain and crypto currenecy. i think that is a good progress about bitcoin. to me the only thing that make people not to use it the transaction time only.

maybe they are afraid or they still dont have any idea on how bitcoin works or  they think if bitcoin would really work  thats the common problem users(newbie) are facing

Well, it's good news in general, but they are not interested in Bitcoin's block chain. They will create their own block chain where they can maintain full control over. Beside that, I think the volatility and the media are the biggest reason for some one to not adopt Bitcoin. With transaction times I assume you're talking about confirmation times, right? While most people would love to see transactions confirm faster, I don't think it has that much impact on people's choice of whether or not to adopt Bitcoin.

There are many reason that make people stop using bitcoins, They maybe hear a bad feed back about bitcoin or maybe they tries using bitcoin but they make satoshi hard that came up that they surrender earning it. Or maybe they got scammed and make them broke that make them realize that they will stop using bitcoins. Or they have some personal issues that needed bitcoin to be stopped. Each people who stopped has their own reasons

This is no wrong in having their own personal reason from their own experience which might be stopping them using bitcoin.
But the 'real' wrong is not analysing the truth and ignoring to finding out the truth about their own belief/opinion.

In that case no people will find and have their own personal (mostly meaningless) reasons for stopping them from using bitcoin.

Why do we need to know the "truth" about their beliefs or opinions though? People have their own interests and beliefs. If they do not like using bitcoins, then it's only fair that we respect them and they respect us for using bitcoins.

Some people fear change. Some just don't really get it how to use bitcoins. Some people fear bitcoins itself because many people have used bitcoins for illegal/criminal purposes. There are countless reasons that can be the cause of stopping them from using bitcoin.

The lack of knowledge and the misunderstanding regarding its backing technology were the one which makes users to stand away from bitcoin as well other digital currencies.

There are hundreds of millions of tech savvy people worldwide but only 1.2 million Bitcoin addresses that have any meaningful quantity of bitcoins in them. There's another 1.2 million that have dust in them so they aren't buying anything with those addresses. In 6 (six) years Bitcoin has attracted less than 3 million people tech savvy enough to use a Bitcoin smart phone app and only 1.2 million active users.

Pokemon Go was released on July 6, 2016 in only North America and already has 21 million daily smart phone users.

Apple Pay is a piece of shit payment system that only works on Apple phones. It was released less than 2 (two) years ago and already has 4 million users.

Google Wallet is only available in the US, has only been around for 4 (four) years, and has 27 million active users.

People don't care for Bitcoin and it's not because they're too dumb to use it.

that is very good. good and bad elements are present everywhere both in real life and in internet. but this doesn't mean that we will stop working with their fear. i think we will do fight with them and will win.

You are right this is really the main reason why people doesn't even want to use bitcoin at all.
How they are going to use it if they don't know something about it.
And good thing that your friends taught you and guided you about bitcoin.

Well I was also guided by my friend about the bitcoins and told me how to earn bitcoins.
I was lucky enough. Due to lack of proper knowledge people dont use bitcoins.
And also the slow speed for the bitcoin transaction is making people to stop using bitcoins.

You are right we need to find those bad elements that stops people on using bitcoin. But not literally fight them alone. But to help them by informing that they are going to benefit once they started to use bitcoin at all.
And not just benefits of it but as well as convenient that they could experience once they used it.

Most of the newbie are experiencing this way too. And it is really sad if they don't know something about bitcoin they tend just to stop or quit using bitcoin.
But if you really want to see them use bitcoins, then do something and help them out by teaching them.

Being victimized by a scamming transaction is really going to be a reason why people are going to stop bitcoin once they got disappointed with it.
And they are thinking that all transactions with bitcoin are going to be scammed at all.
So, they are now scared for using bitcoin.

People can reduce the chances of getting scammed by using official channels for conducting business, buying/selling etc. You can't really blame Bitcoin if you lose money because you decided to trust some shady individual or site. I, myself got scammed a few times when I first got into BTC but I always knew I was the one to blame.
