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. Oh!! What an interesting view about 'real' assuming fiat money right? and bitcoin. That means, a government and a bank told people that real money is what they want to be. And people believed them. Would you like to ask Nigerians what real money is? May be the Venezuelans? South Sudan or Belarus citizens what are their beliefs about the real, as you call these printed piece of paper, money? So because people have their everyday problems as you posted is better to let them dream and stick with fiat. It's really funny.

Yes, because ordinary citizens today can use every technology, so ordinary people can used bitcoin if they are interested about it ? But i think many people is really interested in bitcoin because it can be a big help to them.

yeah, I was an ordinary person who uses bitcoin for profit. moreover, in this digital era that I think everyone can use bitcoin. Because bitcoin offers more convenience. in my country the average bitcoin users most are young children who was aged 15-20 years.it is based on the observation that I do. thank you

We all had to start somewhere. Bitcoin isn't that complex where there's zero newbs who couldn't operate it within the hour. Bitcoin could be used offline and even in real life so later on in the years there should be 3/10 people that already know what Bitcoin is. If anyone knows how to do basic math then sending Bitcoins and receiving Bitcoins should be an issue at all because it's pretty much about punching numbers into a Bitcoin client.

No but the digital citizen only. because bitcoin is need a gadget and a internet some people don't have that requirements so I think no. And another bitcoin is not user friendly because bitcoin is hard at first but when you want to learn it you can.

I could see where you're coming from though Bitcoin could also be used if a real rich individual decides on making a loaning business and having the payment listed as another thing instead of the name "Bitcoin". By doing that, the rich individual would have people from everywhere in the world using Bitcoin even if they don't have Internet access. It's kind of hard to explain so I am not sure if you understand what i'm trying to write.

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
Understand is not enough, the biggest problem is bitcoin can not be used directly, this may be the Government not approve to use the bitcoin, moreover fiat money is still popular and can accept anyone and easier than bitcoin. It is true, an understanding is not the important thing. The reason is not the only place that bitcoin is understood only and then they use it, bitcoin is a place to make deals that are very profitable. If it is true that the Government does not accept or approve bitcoin, then it is not a matter of right. Because the Government also does not have a strong enough influence in the price rise, so things should be taken into account is on the decrease of demand bitcoin which can lower the price of the bitcoin and stability

I can not imagine my old people who use bitcoin. They did not even know how to interact with the Internet. And there are at least half of the population on the planet. I'm not talking about children and people from the suburbs.

Yes ordinary citizens can use bitcoin, what do you about us who are using it? Are we aliens or did we came from out of this world? BItcoin still not popular at all that's why many are asking if they can get a lot of it. But I do believe that if bitcoin is going to be popular for the next days to come, it can easily be used by normal people.
as bitcoin is a normal currency and everyone has the right to use it and adopt it so therefore we cannot say that bitcoin is for some special people and ordinary people cannot use it, i think both ordinary and specially people both have the same opportunities to use it.

Based upon the popularity increase day by day we will get more of the common men or ordinary citizens using bitcoin. It's good to see more and more people getting into bitcoin with the use of profiting, but in reality whales or people holding big volume of bitcoin profit through it and ordinary citizens just gain small to pay few bills. As long as those ordinary citizens that are going to adopt it very soon knows how to use or has basic computer knowledge it will be possible. Let's just set aside those things about gains and what whales are doing on it for them to become richer. As long as we can benefit on using bitcoin for being ordinary citizens it will always make a difference.

True, the fact that bitcoin needs only knowledge in internet, on how to use computer or cellphone which almost common citizen knows ,it will definitely can be used by everyone. Having background in trading or gambling , or what suits your interest best is a plus in having btc. Having discipline and know the art of communication is also needed.

Of course an ordinary person can use especially if there are gadgets and knows about bitcoin. Not only rich or noble can use bitcoin is for everyone to be interested in bitcoin. I am an ordinary person but I learned how to get and earn bitcoin to my friend.

That's why it is very easy to learn if you are that willing. And I know most of the "ordinary citizens" nowadays are into technology, the only people that doesn't have knowledge in internet those who are living in a very poor country who strive to fight with famine. But in sum up, people can't live without technology so it will be easy for them to adopt and use bitcoin.

No, it can't be used by ordinary citizens (atleast, NOT often). Bitcoin doesn't scale, so it only supports a very low number of transactions. Plus, the fees are very high, so ordinary people can't buy ordinary junk with it, the fees alone would cost more than a coffee, for example. The way it is bitcoin is not made for the average user, but for speculators and for those who want to move big amounts of value/money.

Yes that is right. Also it is not about being rich. We as small investors can make a great impact in bitcoin. What would one person do with a lot of bitcoins if only him will be using it. It needs to be scattered and to be know by people in order for it to be really seen as a usable currency. But in bitcoin it is not forced unlike with fiat. That is one of the problem. So we need them to be willing to risk it.

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?
It would be like any technology before it. It's first adopted by the tech community and requires skill to use, like computers for example. When computers first came out, they weren't for everyone, just the tech savvy crowd that had interest in it. Monitors could only display text. Then it went mainstream with a GUI that shows files, folders and applications differently than a dos type of interface. And now with tablets or phones you simply press or swipe a screen with your hand and any 3 year old seems to get the hang of it very easily as it's more intuitive. I'd expect cryptocurrencies to go the same way. Where you have NFC tap on your phone, or a credit card, that would work from a user perspective, the exact same way a credit card does.

You're right.We have all the right to be taught and learned.As long as we have that eagerness to learn,then using bitcoin might be as easy as that.I myself started as nothing,an ordinary citizen who dreamed to succeed.And now i'm starting to realize my dreams through the help from bitcoin.In bitcoin,there is no exemption,whether you belong in high class or low class.Rest assured you will gain high profit,depending on the effort you exerted.
