Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[Finestream]

housewives more time in home sure can use.

i got seen housewives use...but others ...not seen they even dont know bitcoin too.

I'm not seeing any advantage of having more free time to use bitcoins. Bitcoin system is more simple to get start with and to use always. We can use bitcoin on the go. We do not need any special time to get the benefits of using bitcoins.

It is very similar to your email account in the case of you are choosing web wallets. Mobile wallets or desktop wallets also equivalenltly simpler to use but we need to educate ourselves on how to secure them.

Probably what he meant is working to earn bitcoin, for a simple user who just like to consider bitcoin as currency to transact then it's always easy if you know the basics. Things are easier when you are computer literate and you are open for new technology, I have learn bitcoin easily and no one really thought me, it was only me who educates myself with the help of the internet particularly google.

[Pattart]

Yes bitcoin can be use by ordinary people if they know how to use modern technology. The bitcoin is a type of income need to learn especially of unemployed person. So it should be taught especially to ordinary people. for they have fixed income this way we can help.

I think bitcoin can be used by whoever you are and whatever your age if you have an internet connection and you understand how bitcoin works then you're free to use bitcoin

[hurain]

Ordinary people can use it and there is no harm in using BTC but the major problem with bitcoin is that we cannot use it on offline shops and stores and also BTC don't have any ATM. Government can ban BTC as major terrorist organisations can use it as a source of online money to transfer funds and also the source of BTC is unknown.

i think bitcoin cannot be categorize it is a universal currency and it is the currency for all the people of the world. and all the people of the world will be using it equally.

Bitcoin doesn't require any qualification or degree for its usage. Anyone can use Bitcoin, as long as they take care of these points:

1. The user must have basic computer knowledge and understanding of the currency and how the transactions work.
2. The user must know how to store coins safely and securely.
3. The user must know how to use Bitcoin payment gateways, if he intends to do online shopping using Bitcoins.
4. The user must be knowledgeable about the local laws and tax implications regarding Bitcoins.
5. The user must remember that the Bitcoin transactions can't be cancelled.

Almost everybody today in our modern society uses technology even people living in a far and remote area are already using technology that is because everybody wants life makes easier and don't be surprise if someday every ordinary citizen who is not a tech guy will be using bitcoin as a payment system all we need is a proper explanation to everybody regardless of the profession they have the significance of bitcoin in our everyday lives.    

[crypto1010]

bitcoin can be used by everyone incliding odinary citizens so long theey have  the basic knowledge of how to use the internet and has an interest in technology,finito.

[TIDOVEE]

From the  examples / illustration of the ordinary citizens given,nothing should stop this set of people from being able to use bitcoin.
As long as many of them can make good use of their phones.
With proper motivation and just a little innovation it can be used by ordinary citizens.

[Mbah Djoko]

Bitcoin can be used by anyone, anywhere and at any time. I think the concept of the bitcoin is simple but the vision into the future. I sure bitcoin will replace some legal currency in the world.

[Zadicar]

Yes,it can be used by ordinary citizens and just like others said as long you do have access to internet with the use of our phones and pc anyone could really use or earn bitcoin. It doesnt choose its users as long you are capable of earning or using it then its already considered.We should not limit ourselves to learn more about bitcoin.

[gracia0023]

There is indeed a great role of technology in order to understand what bitcoin is. Even ordinary citizen can use bitcoin as long as he knows how to. It needs broader understanding and willingness to start. There's no exemption to this. We may never know about the future of how people will use bitcoin.

Well, the 4th point, there's actually many people out there who just use bitcoin without even knowing the laws regarding the use of bitcoin and the tax they must pay to the government and until now they're fine unless there are even strict rules released. I think as for now, the 4th point is pretty optional but really recommended for bitcoin users to be educated with it.

[fuckitall]

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?

What i think is yes it can be but not in the near future but after some decades

[squatz1]

I don't think it's going to be possible in the least for someone living their everyday life to use bitcoin at all the stores and such that they use. That's besides the fact of the issues that the bitcoin network faces due to the intense amount of people that are using it now, which doesn't even stack up to the amount of people that are in the world today.

Imagine trying to sell the idea of someone using some digital currency to buy a Coffee which is $5.00 and they're going to have to pay 10 percent (.50 cents) To the network in order to get the transcation to go through in a timely fashion (still not instant)

This person is simply going to ask why can't they use their credit card, debit card, cash, or anything along the lines of that which is going to be an instant done and finished right there.

Point accepted. The average Joe and Jane prefer to use cash or debit/credit cards to do their shopping. Even many crypto traders and investors prefer to hold on to their bitcoin as use it as an investment and not as a currency. But there are few people who promote bitcoin as a currency to outsiders.

I do feel that in the next 10 years or so, we can see a change in this trend and more new people will join the bitcoin network and do more transactions with it.

I fully agree with your opinion. And I think that the idea of ​​replacing real money with bitcoin is no more than a fairy tale. Simple citizens will not strain their brains to use bitcoin. They have enough problems. I'm not talking about the poor layers of the population.

It will happen but it will take time. Whe I first discovered bitcoin, I didnt know it was very useful until i notice many posts that sharing their profits on bitcoin. I am also an ordinary citizen so its possible.

There is no exemption for other citizens to use it because bitcoin is free to anybody whether you are ordinary, extra-ordinary, rich or poor. If you have guts and determination to use bitcoin then bitcoin will be free for you because you just need internet and device and you can start using it. There is always no exemption for this kind of opportunities.

If we reach mass adoption I'm sure we'd get a lot of others interested.

It will never happen, and in this time the banks are trying to regenerating the fiat currency into the digital form which means the bitcoin will never ever become or replace the fiat currency and will not have used by the ordinary citizens.

[ufaiz50]

as long as they understand what it;s bitcoin  and how to bitcoin working they are entitled to use bitcoin, for people who do not know bitcoin I hope they seek to know first about bitcoin before using. bitcoin can be used by anyone
