This is not too bad about bitcoin  time now, maybe you need to be patient and pick the right time to sell your bitcoin but it is the most difficult thing to know when you are going to sell bitcoin , because bitcoin prices will change every time . there are many people out there who have made investments bitcoin and now they're waiting for the right time to sell bitcoin in order to get some good profits with bitcoin . so you just need to be patient and wait a little longer .

Nothing strange that people are afraid that's new and their minds are too narrow to use bitcoins instead of fiat money. However I believe that bitcoins will be main currency for the future generations.

I won't use the word stupid, I think they just don't know the benefits and do not really see a need to for it. I mean why use something invisible when I can use something visible, the exchange fees of buying bitcoins (some as high as 20%) makes others draw back and look for alternative means of sending money abroad like Skrill, Neteller and the likes.
or maybe they do not have much knowledge about bitcoin. they only know his name only, or even do not know anything about bitcoin? I think bitcoin is not so well known in public. so natural that they dont know, people who not use bitcoin does not mean he's a fool. they don't know the benefits and advantages that they can get on bitcoin?

Though they do that, it doesnt mean we have to be affected with this. Some just wants to say his opinion and if we ignored it then who really lost? Is it us or just him who didnt know how good it can be for his future with this currency.

I think that it's doesn't matter when to use bitcoin, but better to get as much experience as possible to start making good money from it, but it's all depends on your intentions.

Well, that wasn't really directed to op, but to those who tried to understand bitcoins but failed to do so.
In a way, that's still considered rude, since we don't really know their full situation. Maybe they have a bad comprehension or something like that, and I don't think it's fair to call them stupid by having such a condition.

"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


Well, that person should be thankful that I am not there beside him because if I was there, I won't just keep my mouth shut. Those people who says that are those people who knows nothing about bitcoins. They don't know its importance and value. When the time comes that bitcoin is widely used in all over the world, I will mock those people who belittle the value of bitcoins and its users.  Bitcoin is not an essential part of my everyday life.

I think there are still many people who lack the experience to use bitcoin. perhaps they think that bitcoin is a kind of token that is used for gambling, yah I also initially thought like that. but I do not give in to learn it and it was very easy. I guess they did not want to use bitcoin because maybe they think are the risks in using it, whereas using bitcoin very profitable

actually i think there is no stupidity involved in bitcoin not using bitcoin. the fact is that they don't have to use bitcoin because they are satisfied with fiat right now and don't care for a change.

besides using bitcoin may be better in many cases but it certainly not easy to use by regular Joe and on top of that there is no place they can use bitcoin.
yes that is not good to call them stupid because they are the owner of their own bitcoin and they have the right to use it or to hold it. but we can only suggest them to hold it for some time. because it is expected that the price of bitcoin will increase in next some days.

Bitcoin is too user unfriendly in its present form. Webwallets and payment services will change that, look how far coinbase has come in popularizing bitcoin (because it's relatively simple to use). Security is the other half. Bitcoin is too permanent for the average user, once it's gone, it's gone.

I am not sure what is going on and why people are spending there Bitcoin maybe they like to spend it and they make full use of it as a currency instead of investment.
i am using it as an investment so at the moment I am holding on to my Bitcoin.

and you will never understand what is going on until you yourself start using bitcoin as a currency too.
that is when you can realize the difference between using fiat and using bitcoin. for example when you used bitcoin instead of using paypal to pay for a digital good like a subscription then you can really appreciate the usage of bitcoin.

Correcy. Also with sending money to another country. Other money transfer company charge so much because it is overseas but bitcoin dont do that. It will be the same as how you send near or far.
yeah I think you need to know what the difference bitcoin of other currencies. you should know the benefits or advantages of bitcoin in the field of currency or payment. I'm sure you do not want to just hold it alone. because it is very unfortunate if you're not enjoying the benefits bitcoin but you're already a user? it sounds stupid if you do not take advantage of bitcoin

i think every one has their own choice. either they want to hold their bitcion or use it. so we can no concern with that. therefore it is not good to call them stupid. but we can only suggest them that the present time is the best time holding the bitcoin.

Yup, I also experienced it when you first get to know and hear the words of the Bitcoin. But after I grew to learn my bitcoin, greatly helped by the emergence of the bitcoin. Because life is getting better and will get better. All of this is something my luck has been given to God for me. Yeah it is my hope and I hope it will be realized as soon as possible

I agree that Coinbase makes things easier, but at the same time giving a company like Coinbase control of your bitcoins defeats a large part of the purpose of bitcoin.

But still coinbase did a good thing. Proof is look at the users wallet id's here. I would like 70 percent of people here are using it. And this company takes it to the higher level.

I don't think we can call them stupid for not using Bitcoin.. it's their choice, their money. Most of the people I have asked (I mean all of them) about Bitcoin didn't know a single thing about it, so I had to tell the same story tens of times for them to find out about it, and since they heard the benefits I told them, they are using Bitcoin too. We can't call them stupid for not knowing what Bitcoin is. We just need a guy here to create some addictive thing like Pokemon GO about Bitcoins, so people will download it, find about Bitcoin and the number of people using BTC will skyrocket.

You can get it through play store and find some wallets BTC already believed, after the download, install, and use. Everyone using bitcoin is someone who is very lucky, because in the future it will give you the advantage of bitcoin. Survivors wait my friend

It's not really wrong to give credit to coinbase's contribution to bitcoin as it has indeed taken it up to a higher level. Coinbase promotes bitcoin, bitcoin highly promotes coinbase. Proof is that when you look at bitcoin.com, coinbase is their #1 wallet.

though i doubt it will be a hardware wallet, in my opinion on googleplay store there are only online wallets and thats it, i think there are no hardware wallets on phone
