Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[pekingcoepo]

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?

All your observations can happen in the next few years, because Bitcoin is growing very rapidly, now the popularity of Bitcoin started to touch certain fields / professions, because in my place many teachers and housewives have started using Bitcoin.

[Lmaooo]

Yes, anyone can use Bitcoin from highborn to ordinary person. You can buy Bitcoin in small fraction like fewer  Satoshis to higher volume. its completely up to you!

[ocid]

More and more people are popularizing bitcoin in social media, and they can positively determine the function of bitcoin, of course bitcoin can be used by anyone interested in how bitcoin works itself. even more people who are new to bitcoin can know the price of bitcoin if made into the currency they use how much the nominal price. the possibility of bitcoin will be accepted by the layers of society and can be felt by anyone who uses it.

Of course it can be, bitcoin can be used by all circles of society no matter what their position and status in their own country. everyone would be interested in bitcoin especially with high prices, people who have not used bitcoin because they do not understand or do not know the benefits of bitcoin actually.

[Feri577]

of course more and more people who use bitcoin will be able to prove its function, so bitcoin can be learned by all circles without having to distinguish one's rank and intelligence

Yes, there is no discrimination in usage of bitcoin. Whether it's poor or rich doesn't matter, who has got the knowledge about it can make use of it for good things. This eventually make them understand better about bitcoin as well the different other digital assets available for usage.

first there needs to be some place they can "use" bitcoin at. if we want to talk about usage. then if there is a place to use bitcoin just the way there is a place to use credit card, even if "regular citizens" don't understand the technology behind bitcoin they can use it with their phone Apps, with their third party services that make it easier and so on.

Yes bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens.As long you have your internet connection with you.Because in able to access to bitcoin you must have your internet connection.Bitcoin is available for everyone.

i think that internet connection is now available even in backward countries and now the trend of online shopping and online business is increasing and we can see that even from the backward countries people are encouraging to use bitcoin which i think is more convenient to use as compare with fiat currency therefore now people giving more preference to bitcoin.

[xx-man]

I see now that using Bitcoin is not for rich people and luxury car owners, everyone can use it, as long as they intend to learn and want to know how to use Bitcoin and its function, I think not only that, most importantly you always connect with internet connection always can access it.

Not with the current state of Bitcoin. Copy pasting the addresses, double checking them if it is correct and then waiting for an average of at least 10 minutes to get 1 confirmation with a little fear that the transaction might not go thru is not an attribute of a good payment network. Maybe if a Lightning Network service was created with an easier interface of making transactions like something as easy as email then it could. Bitcoin will become a settlement layer and maybe in some interfaces the users do not have to bother knowing that Bitcoin was really used underneath. All they have to do is spend spend spend.

I agree.  It's clunky at the moment, and the potential for user error is tremendous.

This is one of the problems we are facing for bitcoin to go mainstream. Bitcoin is only used by tech savvy people as of today. We need to get "ordinary" people to use it with ease. I believe it can be done, but it will require some effort I believe. Let's hope our moms and dads will adopt bitcoin too

Of course bitcoin can also be used with ordinary citizens even our moms and dads.But for beginners,bitcoin requires so much researching and studying to do.Anyone can do this as long as he/she has a great urge to learn new things about bitcoin every now and then.And reading forums in bitcointalk might be a great help for them.It really takes so much effort and time to fully understand bitcoin.

[Sarah08]

Yes it is,like me i am an ordiunary citizen that uses bitcoin.It is reliable to citizens because it is really made for normal people to encourage to have a job and make money.

Yes why not ? People can used bitcoin as long they have internet connection and a technology like computers and smartphones. You can use bitcoin as long people are interested to use it for them to earn money. But if they don't have any knowledge  in technologies they cannot use bitcoin.

right, it is certain that they know and understand technology will use the bitcoin. Because it is very responsive bitcoin and easy to use by everyone, so it is very easy to use by everyone. About advantage too, if indeed we already understand the science or knowledge that exists in the bitcoin will definitely prefer using it compared to other digital currencies. Because for those who have some bitcoin someday it is definitely going to get a lot of advantages, but it also takes time and patience.

[jossiel]

Lol, I'm an ordinary citizen and I can freely use bitcoin here in my country.

The central bank supports it but keeps on giving us a warning.

Everyone is free to use bitcoin, ordinary citizen or not or even the most powerful person in this world.

[Tigerheart3026]

Bitcoinis an opportunity to everyone who will become interested to know it. It is an open source where it can give profit too.
Meaning whether senior citizens, teenagers,adults etc.are very much welcome here.

Yeah you're correct. Bitcoin is usually used by people interested in technology. It is because they're the first one who knew about this kind of thing. It has been useful and helpful to them in many things. I think everyone can use or earn bitcoins as long as they have the knowledge about it as well as the skills that are needed to make or earn bitcoins.

I think an ordinary man doesnt need to know the tech behind btc in order for him to use it.We all use laptop,mobiles and other hi tech things but do we all know tech behind them?It is irrelevent

What is important is they know how to use it, it's easy to use if you believe in it first and in order to believe you have to make a research
and understand it. Using is very simple as it is just like you are making an online transaction which is more easier than the usual things like
banking transaction.

[albertorma]

Of course it can be used! There are a lot of smartphone wallets that are incredibly easy to use anywhere and anytime. Also there are a lot of business acepting bitcoin.

Another option is to get a bitcoin credit card like the xapo one, but I don't recommend it because its high fees.

[Haynes]

bitcoins are indeed one of the latest technologies and only people who understand the technology can know. but I think, bitcoin can be applied to all people who have various professions of work because the most important there should be a special coaching to people who do not know bitcoin even have no expertise in the world of technology. If through coaching still not evenly distributed, we can use the method of organization formation in areas that work to serve people in the area in transactions using bitcoin.
