Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[felco]

I think that can happens, but not until better User Experience, like someone that is not confident in his knowledge of technology can be pretty intimidated with Bitcoin. First because for them it is about money, not the real technological value it has. And second, those people can get really confused about how to use it - mostly because of the address size and also that you don't have an single address to send/receive, that can be pretty confusing I think.

People with interest with bitcoin can learn how to use it, this will depend on how would be the popularity of bitcoin will go on. Not only those who are computer savvy have the chance to use bitcoin because it is not complicated as what people are thinking. There is a guide for anyone to follow if they like to try it, once they read and try it, it would be very easy for them to use it, to tell you, I'm not computer savvy but I learn to use it easily.

Exactly even an ordinary citizen can used it. Bitcoin not choose where you belong. As long as you know how to used and understand it. You may used it. Its very easy to understand if you will a time for this to read all things about it. You will learn if you know how to read and understand what you are reading.

Absolutely, everyone can use bitcoin including ordinary people who don't computer savvy. Few time ago i was told about bitcoin by my friends but at the moment im a ordinary person who never heard about cryptocurrencies or any technology related it.
Every thing depends with how hard someone to reach their goals (can understand and use bitcoin as well)

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?

Bitcoin is very easy to use, I think the greater challenge will come when it comes to secure their coins since once those coins are stolen there are no way to get them back and since people are known to not secure their devices properly we are going to see a lot of bitcoin being stolen in the future.

I think your post is more confusing right now. But I don't see any reason why ordinary citizens can't use bitcoin. Yes it may have a great price that they can't buy, but there are some alternatives that you can use like altcoins, you trade them, in the long term you can convert them to bitcoin so they can use them. If you really want something nothing can't stop you.

I have friends who are ordinary citizens like those people that you mentioned and they do not have a full technical knowledge on how bitcoin works,but they know how to send and receive and secure their wallet, so it's not really hard for average person to understand the concept of bitcoin and the technology behind it.

Nicely said, everything can be learn if you will take an effort and you focus on what you want to accomplish.
I am not a computer savvy either but I learn my way by giving much time and attention to what I do, and you know what?
I never regret I pursue to learn bitcoin because right now it's giving me good benefits in life.

Of course yes. In our country, we can use bitcoin to pay stuffs such as bill, tuition fee, load, and manu stuffs. For this reason, bitcoin can be used by normal people as what you have mentioned. However, it can not be used by people who doesn't have an interest in technology.

Here also in our country that people have freedom to access bitcoin, the only requirements is gadgets and internet connection but if you can not provide that you can not access it and you can not able to earn money in bitcoin community. I think we are on same country because all of that is can be possible to do and to spend bitcoin in our country.

Of course yes, anyone can used bitcoin, even the student, vendor or ordinary people. Even the rich level of people allowed to used bitcoin. Because bitcoin is for anyone or for everyone.

People are not robots, that is not how it works. When you want something or it piqued your interest, it does not automatically learn what it is or how to use it, you must qork hard for it. If that is how it works I think many people now are just sitting in the front of their computers, doing something they want earning money.

I think he is trying to say that if a person like something then he can easily learn it because the eagerness of a person is a huge boost for a person to learn something because you have that interest to something that will result for you to pick up things easier and also master it in a shorter period of time.

Don't say it like that it is like you are saying that rich people needs a permission to use bitcoin. We can just say it can be used by all except you are in a country with censored internet connection. I also heard that students are investing in bitcoin and use some of their profit to help their studies which is really great.

What you have said is the right thing to explain it but what he or she said is that the people will automatically learn to use bitcoin which is not right. Humans do not have Automatic in their action list, they have common sense. So when you say something interests you, then you work hard for it.

I agree with you. That is in some way what I tried to illustrate in my previous post. Even if someone is interest in, that can be hard to overcome the technical difficulty if one is not really into technology. I mean like my mother, she can use her computer do all kind of stuff, but she gets very confused about how Bitcoin works. Even some more technical buddies I have don't quite understand how it works and aren't confident about it. What picks their attention though is the monetary value. So if someone is not very confident in their understanding of technology overall, they may stay away of it in fear of loosing money.

As someone said, the eagerness to 'make money' can drive someone to understand what Bitcoin is about and how it works, but I guess that depends how difficult for one that is.

Yes. Everyone is free to use it. No one can use it. I think those people who has lack of money is the most people who needed to use and learn how to use it. Bitcoin might help us very much. It can save them for not having a food to eat. They only need a cellphone for them to earn bitcoin and thats it.

[blueangel01]

I know a person who is updated when it comes to technology but doesnt want or use bitcoin. He said using bitcoin has no assurance of where your money will go. So why take a risk? But the question is "can bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens" Yes, everyone can use bitcoin as long as they have a knowledge about it. I think the good question is "Where will they use it?" Where will the teachers, housewives etc can use these bitcoins? Are there sites or a place where they can spend there BTC?

Actually, it might be surprising that a lot of people who have no background in techie stuffs and some those who do have not even encountered Bitcoin nor hear about it which is more surprising. I even know someone whose job in real life is not related to techie stuffs but he managed to get to know Bitcoin and have some good profits from it.

You don't need to be techie in computer to understand bitcoin, the procedures are easy to follow and information can be access anytime.
I am not a techie person but I manage to understand bitcoin and I made a decent profit so I can say I am successful somehow.

[andreevavik22]

Definitely, everyone can use bitcoin even ordinary citizens as long they acquired proper knowledge on how to use it. Even they have limited knowledge about technology they can easily use bitcoin with proper guidance. Thus, many people here in my country can easily adopt the use of technology even bitcoin too.
