* Agree, the Circle app is going in this direction but it's not easy enough to adapt for the masses. You still need to know about a bit about bitcoin - it's just not simple or easy to use enough.
How so? Even if you've never heard of bitcoin before and you're not willing to learn, I could still send you bitcoins and they'll get auto-converted to your preferred currency. And it works the other way around, you could send me fiat and I'll receive bitcoins. It's as simple as it gets.
But yes, if you decide to set your preferred currency to BTC, then, obviously you'd need to know/learn the very basics (i.e. what btc address is), there's no way around that.
I can see few things that Circle could improve, but I don't know how could they make anything even more simple (in terms of how it works in general).
* My point. For someone to use a bitcoin wallet today, you really need to know what bitcoin is all about. There should be no need to know about that other than bitcoin is a currency. Private keys etc should not be a part of the need-to-know to use bitcoin. No bank will ever tell you about private keys etc...
Well yes, obviously. Again, that's who bitcoin wallets are for - for the people who know and use bitcoins. Why would anyone not even remotely interested in Bitcoin bother to download bitcoin wallet in the first place?
And you don't need to possess any complex knowledge, you pretty much only need to know what bitcoin address is.
* I will give up privacy compared to ease of use and if it makes my life easier and so will a lot of people. This may go against part of the Bitcoin view, but I believe it will serve the people much and good changes to the world if it is done right.
Guess what, you don't have to choose. You have both options available. You can use bitcoin wallet, giving you full control and privacy (to some degree) and you can use 3rd party payment apps for simplicity and convenience.
tl;dr You shouldn't be appealing to wallet devs, but rather pass your suggestions of improvements to relevant payment processors (Circle and alike), or just ask Vipps to support bitcoin payments.
