Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[eternalgloom]

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?

Mobile and internet is frequently used by everyone these days and if one can use internet,no reason why he can't use bitcoin.
We need a bit of help every time we use something new so if some help is required,it nay be sought.

But internet basically has a monopoly on what it provides, I know might not be the right way to put it.
Bitcoin on the other hand has a lot more competition from other payment systems and those are generally easier to use.

Bitcoin can certainly be used by ordinary citizens, but why should they if they have plenty of other options without any learning curve?

yes, this is what I was expecting. Currently, majority of Bitcoin users are those who work on the internet, make money online, and those traders virtual currency transactions on the exchange. I think one of the reasons Bitcoin is not used much by the citizens is due in the country where they are not recognized legally Bitcoin. Maybe they know but they do not want to Bitcoin uses it. Another thing is that they use cash to pay for daily expenses easier Bitcoin. However Bitcoin is now well developed and its popularity is also increasing. Did a lot of services like restaurants pay with Bitcoin, taxi service payment by Bitcoins, and more ... In the future, Bitcoin can be used by everyone.

Yes of course. This seems to depend on the Government or country, many countries that prohibit the use of other than legal currency, the reason is to get full control of the transactions. Bitcoin is anonymous, so make the government fear.

Of course . bitcoin is used by various groups in the world. bitcoin transaction is designed as a universal medium, and also easy to use. it's been a lot of media services using bitcoin payments.

[thymeow]

I think as long you have an access with the technology and computer literate, everyone can use bitcoin. Nowadays, we are in the era of everything is just a tap, a click, a swipe a way. paying bills using an app has made everything much easier. Also, its not so hard joining in the forums. Everyone who has a free time can easily join bitcoin. it's fun, You earn while learning and talking to other people.

Yes, nowadays most of the people in every profession does know the value of Bitcoin and use it accordingly.
The real question to be asked is that does the previous generation people use Bitcoin as us? I have seen very less old people who have understood what Bitcoin is and how to use it effectively..

[Labumi]

precisely the argument you, where I also demikain case, only certain circles who can and want to understand with bitcoin, so bitcoin in my opinion it can not touch all people, and say to think about is how easy and efficient so that all people can use bitcoin in daily activities

Indeed a bitcoin can be used by everyone, but the problem there is the server containing the bitcoin. Which I'm sure all the things there are in the world the internet definitely choose the capacity of the server, and each server must have had problems in the maximum capacity that can be used. Until now I haven't also know how much server capacity that exists in the bitcoin, now it can be seen that bitcoin is experiencing some problems in terms of confirmation. Hopefully in the future the bitcoin can be fixed with a maximum and eventually became the most digital currency is advantageous

[PokerFace3]

yes why not there is nothing to code in bitcoin everything happens good or bad just with click on buttons. so there's nothing to learn to master then awesome currency. even a kid can use it so why not the elder people.

The matter is not that it is hard to use or not or it is it is easy to understand. I think the main barrier of the bitcoin to access to the ordinary and common man is that lack of education and illiteracy and also the access to internet is not everywhere in the world so, I think it will happen in the future but it will takes a lot of time to be happen until these issues don’t get resolved.

no it actually is because some people don't (want to) understand bitcoin and they have proper access to the internet. it is always easier for them to stick to the old ways of doing things and not bother with changing it.
and sometimes people who introduce bitcoin to others are choosing bad ways of doing it. i have seen strange statements be used to describe bitcoin, mining and other related topics which even made me not want to see what bitcoin is in the beginning days.

I think you're both right.

Part of the problem is not wanting to understand bitcoin (it has something to do with computers; it's nerdy; or some other -strange- thinking)
But surely there are quite a few people without proper internet connection - and then it's difficult to do anything with bitcoin.

True, but as we all know the world is becoming more and more digital, the way is see it by 2020 the world is going to change and we all are going to use internet, the fact that most countries are relaying on internet in everything, there are projects to make internet satellites that provide it free for everyone in the world, which means people are going to have access to it, my point is that even if people don’t want to use it they have to because the world is changing.

[alisus]

I think about it!
For people who are not interested in the technology, to have a Bitcoin they need to learn about Bitcoin, because a lot of things they need to know, at least they understand about the Wallet Address, How to deposits and withdrawals are made, although many applications with a system that is easy to do, but not for new users

[wizmo]

yes anyone can use it.

[malekbaba]

Dear, I think, most of the people who uses a currency, are normal or average citizen. BTC is a currency too. It has values. Good support. A lot of things are happening based on crypto world or block chain tech. A currency is not a currency at all, if it is not adopted by normal citizen. If a currency is only adopted by a certain group of people, it becomes very difficult to survive in long term. That is why btc is seeking global adaptation.
Yes, I am a normal citizen and I am using BTC

The hard thing to answer here is how is he identifying citizens in the world. Who are those ordinary people? Ain't we all ordinary?
If you are saying this to those who dont have an idea with bitcoin then yes it is also for them. They will just have to seek. For now, they dont know it but maybe tomorrow they will. There is no restriction in categorized human being to whom who will use it. Everyone can.

Before the world or all ordinary citizens adopt Bitcoin they must successfully adopt the digital world. Because as an ordinary citizen it is hard to go on a pace with Bitcoin if you are not even into the tech side of this generation. But it is possible of all citizens consider adopting the digital world and it will be only a matter of time when money transactions will be related to Bitcoin.

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?

The answer to your question should be a big Yes (my own point of view). There are so many ways right now to get information about BTC and this should provide the needed information by other group of professions who are not yet well-versed with BTC. If the group of professions that you provided above learned how to use BTC, it will increase its current valuation that will help the BTC community in the end.

yes i think bitcoin is not created only for rich people but it is created for every one for both online as well we for offline purpose but most of the people are using it for online purpose and that is the reason that now most of the transaction made by the people is through bitcoin and hope that very soon bitcoin will also be used for offline purpose throughout the world.

There has been a lot of progress on these fronts over the last few years, mobile banking took a few years to become popular and Visa's back in the day took several years as well. I've seen good mobile apps for people to acquire Bitcoin the biggest hassle is KYC/AML if people skip that part downloading a bitcoin wallet to their smartphone is already easy enough for people to do with some knowledge, spending is a little trickier but those who use online shopping could easily learn.

[jacktheking]

I use Bitcoin because I like technology and new innovation. Another reason I use Bitcoin is because I want to have access to online payment. I believe that Bitcoin will become universal and will be used by a lot of people. However, I do not think it will happen anytime soon as Bitcoin is still a very tech-focused currency. There is already a lot of projects that aims to bring Bitcoin to people who have little or no interest in technology. Hopefully we will be seeing more and more people using Bitcoin - including those who never understand internet.

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 it can increase the usage rate. People do not need to know about the technical infrastructure. Simple ease of use that people need. For example, anyone can shop with credit card without knowing their technical infrastructure. It is practical and easy to shop with credit card. The use rate will increase if bitcoin is a develop application in this way.

Yes ofcourse. Bitcoin is just like a real money there are no limits or there are no requirements in using bitcoin. Any people can use bitcoin. It just a matter if a person is working hard and a person had a interest and knowledge about how to earn bitcoin while using it. Bitcoin is just like a real money but it has a high value so that if a person can handle bitcoin he can used it. Even single person a student, senior or even ordinary person can use it in able to make earnings and in able to sustain their everyday needs. So if a person is full of strategies, you're qualified in using bitcoin and if you earning it now. Be sure to invest it so that while you are using it, you earning it. Goodluck to all bitcoiners!

I don't see any reason as to why not these people can use bitcoins. If you can understand Math or any other basic stuffs, you're also able to learn how to use bitcoins. We, the bitcoin users, aren't some sort of special people that have higher class of minds than the non bitcoin users. We were once non-bitcoin users. Bitcoin share the same concept as any other currency but there are some differences. You use bitcoin to pay for things, just like fiat. Huge difference is that it's decentralized unlike fiat. All of these can be learned by everyone if they study it enough. Some might not get it right away but it's okay.
