People Are Just Too Stupid to Use Bitcoin Right Now

[Evildrum]

Its really not that people are dumb,its the design that we have a need to follow the flock like sheep. That is why riots are such a interesting aspect of humans,it brings out the group thought aspect that can scare any one walking toward a crazy mob.

The reason sheep flock is because it's life-affirming.
Sheep that stray may feel like they're lions, but that's just craziness. Straying didn't actually turn them into lions, Evildrum; they're still sheep.
Edgy, annoying sheep, sheep that will soon be torn limb from limb by real lions, or just get run over by a truck, but sheep nevertheless

The thing you don't get about money is this: The more people use it, the more useful it is.
You can have the best money ever, but if you're the only one? It's one hundred percent *worthless*.

Just new here.
I'm one of old ones, I'm not afraid to use new technology and I don't think I'm too stupid to use it. But I have big questions about bitcoin and at this stage no answers. I think bitcoin is great idea and even a better one blockchain. Where can I ask such questions? Here? In another part of this forum?

I'm sure you'll find answers to most of your questions here on bitcointalk. So please do ask your "big questions" here and I will read the answers with big interest because I see myself in a stage where I can't even formulate a proper question.

Ok first one (easy): Bitcoin and blockchain are relaying on miners, so the miners must be rewarded for the "job" and expenses. As far as know the mining at this stage is for some people with big machines, lot of resources, etc. what is going to happen with time and the reward is getting smaller and smaller? And when it reaches the limit of bitcoin creation? Are the fees going to be "too expensive"?
I know  are three questions but related to the same topic, more to come...

Humans are flawed by design. If you are aware of this, then you might already know where your place is. The question is when will the 'sheep flock' towards Bitcoin.

Try going to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0 as asking newbie questions and answering them will be an off-topic here.

People are not stupid, they are scared of smth new to try. When i heard about bitcoin first time on my head was things like "lame, don't work, etc."

people dont like doing new things and are easily maniupalted by the media in the actions that they take. People are unwilling to learn new knowledge by themselves and would rather be led to beleive false fake info.

+1 to this. People hate to learn. They only listen to things that they want to hear. They will never believe you that you can earn money online by doing some work and earn bitcoin. And even if you get to believe them, they are most probably will not be interested at all.

Do not use your Bitcoins right now if you want to make money I would wait if I was you. The Bitcoin price is slowly going up again and this is making Bitcoin active again.

Guys you have to entertain the idea that some people just don't have the need or the desire to use another payment method like Bitcoin even though Bitcoin's advantages are far surpassing other payment processors. There are wealthy people who are just happy with their platinum credit cards and don't care about low fees. Everyone I know who is into Bitcoin does it for the money. What if there are people who are already so well-off that they simply don't care?

I agree. Rich people didn't care about transaction fees or such. And fiat credit cards is easier to use everywhere rather than bitcoin.

I know there's bitcoin debit card , but to have it physically for me is hard because i live in a third world country.

Yeah I agree I suggest you do not spend any Bitcoins at the moment. The prise is climbing again in this could lead to some opportunities, so ave your bitcoins because you will be able to make some money.

Well i had invested part of my portfolio to set up my two new projects,faucets,soo im taking the risk now soo i hope to be able to collect the reward later,sure faucets dont make a huge income but as im getting proof why to dont use them?I believe price will go high soo my return investment will come faster then i thinked from the change in price at bitcoin.

[DashCoinDark]

It is not that bad to use Bitcoin now around this time, as you can see you see that the value of Bitcoin is rising slowly so that is nice for the people who already have Bitcoin.
And if the value is low even if you have Bitcoin than the only thing that you have to do is just hold or trade.

[knowhow]

I consider invest now doing trading or other way as me can bring in the short time a good reward soo i believe i will have sucess on mine investment as i made it on the best time.

Something I want people in this topic to know, we aren't here because we are smarter than other people. There are others who don't use Bitcoin who are smarter than us. This shouldn't be some fedora-tipping "Ah those people are have inferior logic to my absolute knowledge" thread.

A lot of it comes down to who is interested in taking the risk or who is willing to inconvenient themselves to try something new. It has very little to do with the intelligence of a person.

[TheCarrotBaou]

Its just your own opinion, everyone has his own mind to use bitcoin, just like me, now i m using bitcoins and it is profitable for me, i have used bitcoins in different types of online working, i also invest it and i also hold my bitcoins for halving, and i m sure i will be get profit from bitcoins, so how i m stupid.? 

It's the way OP is saying his opinion that isn't really making it seem valid. Everyone interprets things in their own unique way and Bitcoin would actually be no exception.


If the way you're using BTC is working for you, kudos.

[SocialBunnerGuy]

He can kind of express his opinion in any way, shape or form he pleases though, so.

I think you're cutting out the actual point. Literally. You just cut off the rest of my commentary. As long as Bitcoin is working for you in the way that works for you personally, that's all that matters. Not every way of living is right for every single person. You need to understand that. We can't all live the same way, which would explain people performing different jobs. Not everyone can be a doctor, and not everyone can be a construction worker. Not everyone can be a business owner. The point I'm trying to make is that everyone can live a certain way that they seem fit for them and for society as well if they feel fit.

"People are just too stupid to use bitcoin right now,” I overheard someone argue at a bar a few weeks ago as we were discussing the potential of cryptocurrency. “Society’s understanding of where money comes from is the real challenge.

This is the whole article I read at cointelegraph

i'm agree with that,people just stupid to use bitcoin right now. i will agree if i'm were not bitcoin,but i now bitcoin and bitcoin holder,so its normal if people said like that.

[Sandroxa]

If I were you I would not be spending Bitcoins right now because the price is finally going up and you will miss the chance to sell any coins. I am not saying you cant do it but if you want to make money I suggest you just save them.
