People Are Just Too Stupid to Use Bitcoin Right Now

[CryingMidget]

I don't think that many people actually understand the concept of bitcoin or realise the potential of bitcoin either. However, there are plenty of geek out there who are willingly using bitcoin.

well to be honest you are right but i think it is really easy to use bitcoins and you dont need to understand it to use bitcoins as money only

[ontrackk]

i think that might be the case why not so many people use bitcoins right now, though we cannot do anything about it in my opinion, people themselves have to change

The average person find bitcoin too complicated and well yeah we can't blame them honestly.
The hashes makes it not real as cash money is which is why a lot of people are giving up after a few tries. If this will not change, adoption will wait a long time.

I often hear people around me saying "If I can't hold it in my hands, it's not real money". They however forget that the majority of their transactions happen with internet banking where the money they have on their bank accounts are just a few numbers on their screen, untill they withdraw them via an ATM. Quite ironic, isn't it?

Then you're stupid to believe it!

Bitcoin is only as strong as the people who use it. That's also why it's so strong. Those people who were saying that at the bar were probably sooo drunk tho.

That's true even fiat money is going paperless in the form of internet banking and online transactions and same is with bitcoin too, but the only reason is people are not aware about it yet.

It's doesn't matter when to start using bitcoins cause bitcoin have a bright future already, price is growing and community becoming bigger everytime, but experience is the most important thing that you can earn with time only.

[purebitco]

i dont think that people are too stupid as a lot people use it

This makes no sense, if you wanna get something from bitcoin, besides being a faucet claimer or a exchanger, you need to invest bitcoins to be able over the period to get some income from it, otherwise you will need to be buying bitcoin all months. You can choose the free income or the potencial earning with your investment.

That is correct if you have more experience in earning bitcoin you have an advantage for those user who are freshly start their journey in bitcoin, we need to think positively in bitcoin if we are already earning with this.

Yes, we veteran users have the advantaged compared to those who are still starting in Bitcoin world because we know already man ways on how to gain it and how to use or spend it. In later times those newbies would be develop like us veterans and would know also what we already know as of now. Anyone here comes and passed as a newbie btw.

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.

One story about someone's retirement wallet getting emptied by hackers, and the msm will be all over it.

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.

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.

Coinbase is only useful up to a certain point, as eventually, you'll be educated enough in Bitcoin to realize that you'll need a paper or hardware wallet to securely store large amounts of Bitcoin. Other than that, there's a reason why Coinbase is supported by Bitcoin.com- it's probably the most user-friendly of all the wallets out there.

Nowadays we really need all of the users to use bitcoin as a normal currency for their use, as with that bitcoin will get a strong image in the world market and will get some strength, and with that it will have a chance to become a global currency.

I do not think that it is a great idea to be spending your Bitcoin at the moment because they can be worth allot of money.
It is better if you hold on to them for a moment so that you can get more out of them.

[Decoded]

Well. That's a big accusation.

If I, a minor, can understand bitcoin and it's inner workings, I don't think we're really so dumb that we can't use bitcoin.

This is a correct suggestion, maybe in the future the price will always going up and until that moment better to hold them in the storage or growing up your bitcoin and waiting the best moment you can selling your bitcoin.

welp 99% of all people have no idea about block explorer/block chain/txid/nodes/forking or not, when these kind of technicality stuff surface people start to back down, because not every one is going to be an expert in knowing everything about crypto.
that is why they trust and want old money more, we need to simplify the whole idea about what bitcoin is and how can we use it/save it/invest it/spend it.

It's truly hard to understand at the beginning, also users with good knowledge of computing too finds it difficult. The technology seems to be something unique. On this stand few try hard to be a part of the technology and starts using bitcoin as well other digital currencies.

When are we gonna get hardware wallets in our phones?  That would greatly accelerate adoption.

You will never get a hardware wallet for a phone because it is exactly that, a hardware wallet.
It would be a disaster if someone tried to incorporate it into a phone with a active Internet connection
