People Are Just Too Stupid to Use Bitcoin Right Now

[outatime1]

I think it's just a new technology right now and it takes time to catch on. People may not really understand it right now, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.

It's both IMO. Ignorance is the other. A way to get around this is for the tech to get underneath the workings and never actually present itself. Makes the tech more 'consumer-friendly.'

We need Apple to do something with bitcoin. They always get rid of the techy stuff normal people don't care about and just make things simple.
But we all know that if Apple gets into BitCoin, those apple fan boys are going to think "Apple invented BitCoin"

They say that our parents and grandparents do not understand computers and smartphones simply because they are afraid of anything new.

In psychology, the fear of change and everything new is called neophobia. Neophobia is typical for most people. Fear of a new linked primarily to the fact that the result of the changes have not yet been received and is waiting in front of the unknown. We can say that fear of change - it's fear of the unknown. Even if we are waiting for a pleasant change, we still doubt: what if the result does not live up to expectations?

Your sentence should be a little shorter.

People are just too stupid.

why everyone say that people are  too stupid to use bitcoins? in my opinion there are a lot of people who uses it so first of all we cannot say that all people are too stupid

in my opinion they just need a little bit of more time until they can adopt it, people always seek carefully all the new technologies so i think we will need to wait a little bit

It's just the fact that people are too lazy to undergo "change".
Most people would rather use what they were used to, such as paying with cash.

Another reason would also be that there is quite a little complexity in bitcoin transaction than of cash and not everyone are able to understand it fully. Rather, they don't want to.

Well yeah your right but if many people are using bitcoin a payment in the future we will see that even other people can use bitcoin in other way to pay for monthly bills or any useful with bitcoin.. because you don't need to go outside to paybills and you can pay monthly bills online just like here in my country we can buy electricity bill in online using bitcoin..

Yes...I am witness to this fact of life everyday.  This fear of change is also responsible for people not acting to change circumstances surrounding them that affect them negatively, such as people in abusive relationships....or people who get stuck in a cycles of incarceration.  But, the opposite of the fear of change is the father of innovation!  People should set aside their fears, take the leap, and embrace innovation!

but i am not agree with you. i think they are not. those people who are doing investment in present time are too wise because the rate is still too low one can easily ear when the rate will increase in next few days.

How many people understand how it works when you swipe your debit or credit card and pay for items? I don't. I just insert the card and enter the pin code and wallah the items are paid for. The complexity in finance is already there. THe only non-complex thing is actual cash in notes and coins. It's very simple to understand, and it works quite well. [it isn't broken]. Cash will only be broken when it is completely banned or becomes obsolete as blockchains take over. There is a reason why all the crypto is called "coin". Its because coins are easy to understand and it works.

People who understands market well will continue to buy bitcoins till the day before halving as they are confident that will be making good profits at halving.

"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

It happens because most of people dont believe things in web i mean if you can see paper money you know its there.
Some low-IQ retards cant imagine btc is a real money and its a big buissness,well what can you do.
You can just hope that more ppl know about it,less profit u make

[mishra1994u]

All the people aren't too stupid, you made it too generic. Some need more information about what is and how could change its monetary system. Others never heard anything about bitcoin. And some could be stupid or wrong and don't want to use it.

Agreed, the user who trust as well have the clear understanding about bitcoin continues buying bitcoin. At the same user who use bitcoin but without clear understanding of bitcoin nature hesitate to make buy and tries to hold what they have.

[DavidoAlto]

Why are you saying people are just to stupid to use bitcoins ok there are allot of users who dont know how to behave with bitcoins but that
does not mean we all have problems with using of bitcoins or that we are all stupid who are using thee bitcoin but thanks.

[BlackPanda]

I think this is a stupid statement. Current use of bitcoin very much because bitcoin is needed. bitcoin has the ease and speed in every transaction. I and a lot of people was not a fool !! we are the technology and we will be in the future !!

Most of the people still don`t understand how a cryptocurrency works,it`s just too

complicated for them, i guess.It`s our responsibility to make bitcoin more comprehensive to the

majority of the people.

Very right. It is almost the same with the fear of the unknown. Not trying it yet and scared that it might be a bad thing. That is actually what is happening. Some judged it way too early before even trying it.

What you are saying is true but the fact is people are not spending their coins right now, as they prefer to hold it for the halving so that they can earn more benefits from it.

even though there are some holders at the moment i think there are people who spend their bitcoin on daily basis no matter if the price is growing right now or not

i doubt that people are too stupid to use bitcoins to be honest, in my opinion they are only really careful about it and they are afraid that it will make them lose a lot of money

[worhiper_-_]

It's not just that people just don't like change (unless it's the coin kind).  Heck I can't get my Mom away from rotary phones not alone use a new kind of money for things. 

thats right.most people are not prone to a "change" . maybe they are okay with what they have i don't know. depends on  several personal reasons. But "Stupid" is not an argument . Stupid people will always exist and will continue to exist. it doesn't even have to do with the "stupid  " . Its more about getting used to it. Because i have to admit Its complicated in the beginning and if you dont have any close friend to explain it to you , you may find yourself having a hard time understanding all this.
