What's stopping people from using bitcoin?

[madwica]

I don't know, but i think that bitcoin still not so popular, i asked my firends about it and they really don't know nothing expet of name of crytocurrency.

It is not popular because people doesn't have enough knowledge on what bitcoin really is. And maybe some of them are really scared of it.
Because it is a new meta in their minds that hearing it for the first time. But it is possible in the future that they are going to know it when the
people are going to be educated.

It's not about knowledge it's just about lack of advertising for bitcoin into our community, and a lot of people having a problem with the limitations of internet connections. never feeling a surprised when anytime you will get someone does not know about bitcoin.

That is correct like here in my country internet connection was too expensive but the connection is too slow that is why more people here does not have internet but the bitcoin requires internet connection to get income. And also if people are not interested we can not please them to love of use bitcoin.

I would say that there are a lot of advertising in the internet world that many already knows about bitcoin. The thing is that people doesn't really want to know what bitcoin really is, and it is a matter of laziness too maybe, I think. But in advertising, the development team I guess doesn't need that so
the people will going to know it.

when people have to get something bad because bitcoin, like the money they get scammer or stolen in large quantities, it would make someone trauma and stop using bitcoin.

[Sorrowfox]

Fear of change I would say is the main reason, paranoia.....well that & the fact the average joe has no need to usd bitcoin. We need more exposure - how I don't know.

Yes, that is the main reason why a lot of people are afraid to use bitcoins. Because it is inherent for a person to be afraid of the things that he is an aware of or the things that he does't have any knowledge on. It is also based on my experience. Every time I offer my friends to use bitcoins, to use bitcoins they don't want it because they said they don't have any idea about it so they might just waste their money.

That is not for everyone so it would not refer to the people which in the majority, the only thing that would stop people from using bitcoins is when the bitcoin economy will fall down or it will not be stable as now.

This is true, loosing big amount of money in terms of bitcoin can result to users to stop using it because they already lose their trust in bitcoin that is why we need to avoid scammer and we need to have stronger security of each account to be safe our money.

that is not it. even if it is the reason that would only work for a very small percentage of people because most people getting in bitcoin will never get out and continue using it.
it is the start that happens hardly because people don't know about bitcoin and are afraid of what they don't know.

Well it is their fault that they are losing big amount of bitcoins. But it is really hard if you are going to lose big amount of bitcoins. It tends to make you discourage and not going to pursue your usage of bitcoins because you are going to feel down about it.

I was thinking the same thing which is why my family are not jumping in bitcoin? first time I talked about it with my brother he said bitcoin is dead, I said wtf? he showed me an article that only was a speculation.

[Strongkored]

It is really hard for a family member to encourage to use bitcoin. They really expect that bitcoin is dead, woah! That's new and the first time to hear that someone says that here so it means they really not going to use bitcoin because they tend to think that bitcoin is already dead.
But they must try it before saying that.

In my family instead the opposite occurs, as it may be the first time I introduced the bitcoin to them in an appropriate manner. So now my family supported me using bitcoin. And not infrequently they gave me the capital to traded.

Most people are reactionary, they will all jump onto bitcoin but only when it is too late. Look at any state that goes into hyperinflation, by the time they want to get things like gold it is way too late.

It's the same as safety. often an accident needs to happen before safety is considered even if it was obvious at the time that these safety features should have already been there.

We can't really blame them for being like that since that trait can also be seen as some kind of a 'defensive mechanism' in terms of our assets since some people really just don't want to risk their assets in something that isn't a sure thing to give profit.

Almost everyone will react like that. Make sure that the water is safe before jumping in. But people who has tolerance for high risk will surely jump readily and enjoy the water. I hope when people realize how great bitcoin is, it is not yet too late.

Hahaha, sometimes I wanna to laugh that's people because they making a fault and blame bitcoin. I sure there are many examples about that. they never understand with their selves about theirs fault.

Good thing that your family supporting you from using bitcoin but do you think they are going to use bitcoin soon? And that's nice to know that they gave you capital for trading and they are not an hindrance to you. I hope all of the families who has a child who do bitcoin is going to be like that supportive.

Yeah dude, you right because my family has their own busy life with their jobs. I think they are in the near future they will not use bitcoin directly. But I've been happy if they support me in using bitcoin.

That is exactly the case with everyone stops using bitcoin or dont even think of using it because they read or hear negative things about it and they just believe them without doing their own research or study about the reality of it.

Well, that is just normal as even how good a certain thing is there is always some negative news regarding the things but as real investors who believe in the future of bitcoins, we know better the potential so we can justify if any bad news or publicity will be circulated in the internet.

[fiulpro]

I think the price volatility, lots of incidents related to black market activities and many other anti-government activities are the major cause that's stopping people from using bitcoins.

[serjent05]

We need more projects and sites to promote and incentive the use of bitcoin,
because if people don't know about it, the will not use it.

This too is stopping people from using bitcoin.  the availability of where to spend bitcoin is one major problem why people would rather choose a payment method that he can use everywhere and anywhere.  That is credit cards and visa cards.  If only bitcoin can be use anywayre and everywhere then most people will surely come in and join Bitcoin.

A sensible person will know that it is not the fault of bitcoin when he is scammed by someone, and so he will never blame bitcoin and will never leave it, as with bitcoin he can recover his money by earning from different opportunities.

Yep, just as how there are people who love artists or musicians, there are those who hate them.
With this, we can blame those people who hate bitcoin from stopping people to use bitcoin. There really isn't any way we can stop them overall but we can reduce their effect if we can highly publicize bitcoin.
