Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[Wind_FURY]

Why not... Everyone can learn it when it is necessary to use bitcoin. if it could make their transactions easier, I don't see any hindrance that they can't learn how to use bitcoin...

Don't forget that before, we don't know how to use cellphone, how to use computer, but due to the reason that we need it and it is necessary, we started to learn how to send text messages, and to send an email... So I think, same as in bitcoin, if they found it useful in the future, then they can learn how to use it...  

It is easy to say "Why not?", but then why is Bitcoin still not used by the masses? It will take more than learning to make everyone use Bitcoin. First there has to be a need. If there is no need then why use it? That is very from your "Why not?" type of thinking. Saying "Sure why not?" shows your lack of understanding of the situation Bitcoin is in.

Any working class person can have access to bitcoin, even if they are not too technologically-inclined. There are now Bitcoin ATMs, which works like a regular machine. We must not also underestimate the power of technology, which now caters even to those who are not tech-savvy. Even older persons who are in their 60’s use mobile phones and go into social media, so I don’t think the learning curve would be too much for them to learn something like using bitcoin, just as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them and it gives them a lot of benefits.

It's possible but it must gain a world wide acceptance which I think it's on course to achieving in the near future. Bitcoin keeps growing in terms of price increases and acceptance. In my country we have one Bitcoin ATM close to where I live and a few shops accepts.bitcoin payment so if this trend continues maybe in a decade everyone could become conversant with its usage and adopt it.

[megynacuna]

Why not? I'm an ordinary citizen and I use Bitcoin almost every day in gambling and paying for miniature jobs and services online. I buy products online too through shopawl on aliexpress and banggoods so if it's possible at my end and being an ordinary citizen why not for all?

[Altas]

why not ? Ordinary people can use bitcoin. I am an ordinary citizen but i am using bitcoin. When there is a need people will use the things. Now without bitcoin also people can buy things so most of the peoples not yet start to use bitcoin. The day will come bitcoin become the world currency  and every one use bitcoin.

Ordinary people can use bitcoin , there were no limit or restriction that ordinary people can use bitcoin, bitcoin is anonymously used , I based my opinion in bitcoins anonimity , Actually Im just a ordinary people that only have regular salary. Bitcoin is a very good help with in an ordinary people like me.

Your are lucky that in your country u have at least ATM and few shops which accepts bitcoin. In my country, we have no local shops which accepts bitcoins. We can either buy online with bitcoins or convert them to cash before using them.  But i think we need to bring awareness among people so that more shops can offer bitcoin payments.

[artows21]

Yes I think if the bitcoin go up years after years I think the society will have to use BTC as money. The futur generation may be born with this money, it's like us with the digital technology, the society will have to adapt their life if the bitcoin go up

Where do you live? You might did not know yet , check this out and find your county is listed or not yet  https://coinatmradar.com
I believe one day any citizens level will have internet access and then easily use bitcoin
For now there is a lot of people that not reached by internet
So basically any citizens level can use bitcoin it's just the matter of facilities.

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?

Probably, yes, but not all of them entirely. Anyone who knows how to use a phone has the capacity to learn how to use a bitcoin wallet. There are wallets available in the Google PlayStore and you just have to sign up and everything is set. If you want a 2FA feature, you simply activate it. Not all of them will be able to use bitcoins for the very reason why some other people don't use a phone. They simply choose not to, and they want to stick with their old ways.

[Gliassa]

Yes they can use it because Bitcoin is open for everyone that wants to use it.
They just have to learn how to use the Bitcoin.

It's not only what's its reason why it's suitable for everybody. It's convience, taxfree, and service also the reasons why it's good for everybody. It would help us to generalize the mode of payment online which is easy to understand and secured which is the greatest factor to be more pupular in the market.

yes. when I first heard about bitcoin and its tech, I did not really care about the tech. then I saw my friend earned money from it, so I was interested. if people just know that bitcoin is money, I think they will be interested in it.

Right if people know Bitcoin is money and we can use it in the real world. They must learn how to make bitcoin. And now the bitcoin users are increasing day by day and some shops also accepting Bitcoins. From this advertisement, all housewives, firemen and other people will get to know what is bitcoin. And they will slowly start to use bitcoin. If this happens one fine day, your dream may come true.

the reason for why ordinary people are not using bitcoin, is because they need to buy, and investment are always see with a certain risk

if those people could receive their bitcoin directly in the form of their salary for their job, i'm sure the usage of bitcoin would increase exponentially

Yeah, that's the biggest reason. If people start getting their wages as bitcoins then this problem is solved.

But why should people take their salaries as bitcoins? Why do companies pay for their employees as bitcoins?

If we can find the answer to these questions, bitcoin will be a currency that everyone can use.

Bitcoin have only existed on this planet for 8 years and you have to admit the truth that there are still many people do not like Bitcoin at all. In my country, I have never seen anyone buy or sell Bitcoin directly on the street or in some coffee shop. The percentage of bitcoin users is just about 0.01%. Well, maybe in the future, when they all realize the benefit of Bitcoin, they will start using it as a type of currency

IMO, the number of people who use bitcoin will be low since it is not a state-sponsored initiative. Corporate firms, small firms, students etc. They all work according to the standards that the state has set.

The states do not support bitcoin, especially after tax is not regulated.

In order to encourage them to do bitcoin, we are going to need so much explanation about bitcoin to them, as in all of the important stuffs that they should know about bitcoin. But, based on my experience, and I have already introduce bitcoin to some of my friends, and I conclude that it is not enough to just explain it to them. They must be dedicated to it in order to be committed on doing bitcoin, because for me, it is the easiest way to earn money without being exhausted unlike the other jobs.

And it is possible that many people would turn themselves on doing bitcoin and quitting their jobs because it is a lot more easier job because you are the own boss of yourself, you can manage your time without being commanded by someone who is in the higher rank to you, all you need to do is to post whenever you want to, if, you are going to do signature campaign here in this forum.

That is very much possible that someday bitcoin can be used by anyone, whether it is a tradesmen, teachers,firemens, butchers, etc. but is for the people who are open to this kind of technology, it doesn't matter if you are teenagers, an old person, adult, as long as you are eager or determine to learn it you are very much welcome to use bitcoin.

[nyanhtet]

But problem is no one use bitcoin, they hold. 

[SaShiRaJaVu]

That is a funny statement .You are telling that no one is using bitcoin but on the next one you are telling that everyone is holding bitcoin,how can that be possible .
With new web wallets and mobile wallets it is easy for everyone to use bitcoin as you only need a simple sign up and a good password to secure your coins.

[Tyrantt]

With just a little simple explanation, I believe that everyone could be able to use it. Even without the knowledge of how blockchain and the whole mining, transaction process works. But first you need to attract those people to learn just a little simple things anbout bitcoin, and that will come in time.
