Definitely, everyone can use bitcoin even ordinary citizens as long they acquired proper knowledge on how to use it. Even they have limited knowledge about technology they can easily use bitcoin with proper guidance. Thus, many people here in my country can easily adopt the use of technology even bitcoin too.

All man has the ability to adopt to the situation, when they see that something is happening and everyone else is learning it, they will do the same, just like how we learn those things that are trending in the community. Sooner or later we learn it thru watching them, asking and being thought about it.

Same as in bitcoin, ordinary people can learn how to use it when they see that everyone else is using it.
Not all man for sure, bitcoin does not pass on to the comprehension of all people, there are people who lives under poverty and they are not educated enough to understand bitcoin. In addition, even if they understand and still they are under poverty, there focus would be different and not to transact, invest, or whatsoever. Let's accept the fact that the massive adoption that we are hoping will not be big as what we are expecting.

Disregarding those situations in life as it is different and it is not what OP wants to know, he asks if :

Can people use the bitcoin in the profession group like tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers?

With that, I am certain that he is not asking about those street dwellers or those who are in the poverty line. He is talking about those that are not in the same line as most of us, and not the totality.

Bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens because of the word adoption, it can be easily adopt on how to use it easily.  Even ordinary citizen  can easily use the bitcoin with guidance of someone who already know the process. In my country, bitcoin had become more grow daily because of this  popularity.

I think it depends what an ordinary citizen is.
A certain knowledge of how to use a computer in necessary.
Many of the older ordinary citizens do not have that.. but most of the younger have.
I think it's more a question of generation.

Now a days every ordinary citizen uses a smart phone and any one knows how to be online ,the world is changing and so is the people. Web and mobile wallets are available for people who are lazy and so bitcoin can be used by anyone who has an Internet connection.

Thats true,  now that technology is accessible to ordinary people through their phone. Also sophisticated mobile phone is becoming cheaper now a days where you can download apps that can access to bitcoin. Government support can really boost the bitcoin awareness like acknowledging bitcoin as payment like in the case of Japan. With these, bitcoin can really reach the ordinary people with their phone as an ordinary wallet.

yeaaa some people even have not a gadget, laptop , smartphone and any other facility to have an access to bitcoin.
bitcoin itself invented as for the digital money ( futur of money ) .
so i think it is clearly for now ordinary citizens not yet can accept / use bitcoin , since bitcoin invented few years ago only , they will not trust on bitcoin.

I do understand that poor people cannot afford to buy all these latest gadgets but the world is changing and if you are getting a good education then you can over come these situation. You are talking  as if we are living in the 18th century and that is not the case now. People are getting more educations and life is changing everywhere.

you are right, but you are irrelevant Smiley
poor people also do not have credit card, debit card, a bank account, paypal account, they don't use ATM machines, and so many other things. the argument that some group of people can not use bitcoin doesn't mean anything here.

Thou shouldn't generalized what we are saying. You can't say all people don't have any wallet or bank account, you can't assure that since some country, people get their benefit through banking system. For this reason, bitcoin can be used by normal or poor people as long as it's beneficial or purposeful for them, don't be cruel.

You are right that ordinary citizens can use or adapt the change with Bitcoin. But I don't think it will be appropriate for them or will be practical on their part. For ordinary citizens they will still prefer the use of Fiat Currency no doubt about it. They will still choose it because it is the most liquid form of currency there is and everyone is willing to accept that kind of currency.

Bitcoin is usually used by people interested in technology. I mean, persons with a certain technical knowledge are interested in bitcoin.

My observations are that way. I think Bitcoin needs to reach larger quantities. Can use bitcoin in people who are not interested in technology?
Can people use the bitcoin in the profession group like tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers? Are we going to see the days that these people use bitcoin?
According to me Bitcoin can be Used By Anyone Like Common People as You Said above Because Bitcoin is Made to be Used By all People and I am Waiting for that Moment when All the People in the World Use Bitcoin and the Price of the Bitcoin will Rise to the Sky......
But I Think it will Happen in the Coming Future.......

For the entire world to use bitcoin might take a really long time.It is possible but for every change it might need at least a century for all the people to start using a new method of transaction .The price of bitcoin will rise with time with more investment and interest in the coin.Bitcoin can be used to ordinary citizens as we have mobile wallets where you can store your coins really easy.

Bitcoin in general can be used by anyone, as long as you are decided to learn about it. Now, How about people who are not interested in technology since bitcoin is connected into it? My answer is still Yes, it is possible but there's a bit difficulty when you are going to educate them in bitcoin.

In its current form, not at all. The average guy is very reluctent to technology. Once you will be able to just click into your application on your contact's name and the amount in fiat money you want to send for this money to be sent, this will be avalaible to ordinary people, but for now, no. QR codes are a great move forward though.

Yes, anybody can use Bitcoin, but there are some limitations and conditions, of course.
First, Internet aces is essential.
Smartphone or table computer with electricity also.
Knowledge of English is helpful.
Also, basic knowledge about Internet is also important.
So, based on this, I'm sure that not everybody can use bitcoin.

I think everyone can use bitcoin or should I say everyone has a privelage to earn and used bitcoin, we can learn everything if we a desirable and we are really serious to bitcoin. Everyone enjoys earning bitcoins,once when they know about bitcoin they will strive too hard too. Everyone is capable to have a bitcoin because it helps everyone.

Bitcoin develops fast, today it is easier to use Bitcoin than ever before - we can use Bitcoin cards or phone apps. I think, ordinary citizens are able to use cards or apps too Smiley

In my country, bitcoin had become more grow daily because of this  popularity.
well I'm curious how it would be easily adopted by the people who don't have any clue about the technology or by the people of the older age, I think it would be pretty hard and it would definitely take a long time for a full adoption.

In its current form, not at all. The average guy is very reluctent to technology. Once you will be able to just click into your application on your contact's name and the amount in fiat money you want to send for this money to be sent, this will be avalaible to ordinary people, but for now, no. QR codes are a great move forward though.
yeah that's the way how bitcoin would be appealing to everyone, just choosing who and how much you want to pay, no wallets no addresses no nothing just pure contact list like with online banking or something like that.

Yes, anybody can use Bitcoin, but there are some limitations and conditions, of course.
First, Internet aces is essential.
Smartphone or table computer with electricity also.
Knowledge of English is helpful.
Also, basic knowledge about Internet is also important.

there is electricity basically everywhere there is internet connection everywhere there are telephones everywhere. Bitcoin can be used by way more people over the world than fiat and online banking is used right now.

I think its possible. Everyone that is interested on it has the privelege to used it. Nowadays people find a way to earn extra money, once they discover this, they will make a way to earn it and to learn how and what bitcoin is. Everyone is interested in money,especially if they can even dont need to invest real money

Everyone is interested in money,especially if they can even dont need to invest real money
If people does seek for an alternative income I could say that bitcoin would really caught their interest since we do all know that bitcoin is really a good source of money if you do know how to make things work and still yet you need to work hard since there's no easy money here and anyone could use bitcoin there's no rules or restrictions.
