Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[Hui8]

Oh boy when it comes to money everyone can learn anything. Those groups you stated will definitely work for the bitcoin if they are taught the power of bitcoin now and in the future. Or may be you just tell them that bitcoin currently is having price of worth $2500 and it will be more than $5000 soon. Then they will have every bit of reason coming to the world of bitcoin and making some for themselves.

Define "Ordinary" citizens. Bitcoin is relatively uncomplicated as far as obtaining and spending / using goes. The market is only limited as far as vendors taking bitcoin as a form of payment. I'm sure you have some "ordinary" people who do in fact use bitcoin for some of their transactions online.

Right. Actually, bitcoin does not have the concept of ordinary citizens compared to other people. I see that anyone can use bitcoin when they want.Double does not need too much knowledge they can also learn and use.

as long as you have the knowledge about bitcoin you can use it. thus, people around the world can handle technology and can use internet. It may be possible for every citizen even some of them just using it for online transaction, they must've known something about bitcoin.

Bitcoin is purely for the common people, but as the price has increased to bigger extent the affordability by ordinary citizens has decreased. Just because of this common people focus more on earning it. In reality the more we have more will be the profit we get through it. This helps rich earn big profit through it.

yes as a currency bitcoin is for all, because there is small unit of bitcoin satoshi, which the poor people can use as much as they, but as an investment bitcoin is providing more opportunities to rich people because they can afford bitcoin in  great number, and so they have more opportunities to make big profit. but overall bitcoin is for everyone and not restricted to some special people or group of people.

When I talk about crypto-currencies around me, it's still seen as scammy.
When large corporations start using massively the blockchain, this feeling will change.
People should like the freedom given by this technology.
Also, we can wait for stable credit cards that will serve as billboard for the crypto world.

[Netnox]

When I talk about crypto-currencies around me, it's still seen as scammy.

Don't forget that there is a valid reason for this. Hacks are very common in Bitcoin world, and the biggest one (Mt Gox) resulted in a total loss of almost $1 billion. Recently, Bitfinex, Mercado Bitcoin, and Bithumb were hacked, and the coins stolen. As long as these incidents happen, ordinary people will view Bitcoin with a bit of suspicion.

I think btc coin can also be used by ordinary people who work in bitcoin business because of their current business needs, health care, as well as medical services all need to use bitcoin. So ordinary workers still use it

i agree to this. ordinary people can also use bitcoin if their have knowledge about it. bitcoin is easy to understand. like any other online payment processor. the mining of it makes it complicated.

[nejibens]

Yes Bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens without any problem, its simple to create Btc wallet and start receiving and sending bitcoins, without complicated conditions. Just you need the internet connection which is almost available worldwide.

There is a lot of truth, Because if you take into account Bitcoin users, not everyone started with a huge knowledge base about the world of cryptography. Most people do not understand what it is all about, but they earn on the stock exchange with the help of altcoyne. So I also think that many people will learn to earn money.

bitcoin is for every people which want to earn money in short or long term and no matter what you do, what is your jobs, as long as you want to use bitcoin in any of jobs related with bitcoin. we can use bitcoin with easy, there is no specification skills and we can free to use for whatever we want. although to earn bitcoin now is really difficult in free ways, but we can still earn if we want too.

Right now the majority of bitcoin users are enthousiasts of the technology or just regular people who are looking for monetary gain. But I'm confident that when bitcoin will become mainstream bitcoin will become more userfriendly as well.

Bitcoin was conceptualized with low fees in mind as against the cut-throat fees synonymous with fiats, which only few could afford and to support micro payments. Those are certainly steps taken to carry ordinary people along, so from the word go, Bitcoin was made to embrace all, that is the way it can truly be the revolution and leveler that it is.

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?

Yes of course. As soon as they will know what bitcoin is, pretty sure they will have the interest of learning it for their own purpose. But in lined with learning how to use bitcoin really needs knowledge of technology. Nowadays, it is no big deal learning tecnological instruments because it has been a part of our daily lives since then. So I supposed that bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens.

You have your point.But i do believe that bitcoin can be a userfriendly to everybody,either high class,low class or average people.It only depends on how you handle yourself to face the challenges brought by new technologies.Now if you want to learn bitcoin,there should be a mindset to go for your goal.

[logicgate]

Normal citizens can't use bitcoin because bitcoin is usually used by people who have certain skills and knowledge  in technologie . The only way ordinary citizens use bitcoin is when it becomes an officiel currency wich is still pretty hard to achieve !

Yes ordinary peoples can't use bitcoin, i think those people use bitcoin who have more skills and more knowledge about bitcoin technology, and also they know about these techniques that how we earn money from bitcoin, such as in investment, they know about its that how invest their money in bitcoin and earn more money, and about trading they know that how we start trading, how many skills we use in trading and making more money.

Yes I totally agree with you that bitcoin user were regular people.  Well other requirements were the knowledge to know how to use computers.  Aside from that you need a computer and a good internet connection.  All were into earnings because it is easy.  Just have some perseverance and patience.

Uhm. Why do we even discuss this? Do you need to be someone specially to use bitcoins? I don't think there is any special requirement for this. This has nothing to do with specialization.

Even a kid can use bitcoins. It was made like that from the start.

[dothebeats]

I myself am an ordinary citizen of our country with a small business but still I can use bitcoins and profit from it. Literally there are no barriers or hindrances that prevents you from using bitcoin; it actually serves as a bridge for people from all around the world that has something to offer and wants something in return.

[risk91]

Bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens. Even i am an ordinary citizen and holding bitcoins. As of now no restrictions as who need to hold, what is the limit of transaction, charges to be borne etc.

Yes why not ? People can used bitcoin as long they have internet connection and a technology like computers and smartphones. You can use bitcoin as long people are interested to use it for them to earn money. But if they don't have any knowledge  in technologies they cannot use bitcoin.

[Bagaji]

Uses of Bitcoin is not limited to either the rich, well known people in the societies, the poor and vulnerable people in the societies. Bitcoin is for all human being provided you can work for its and earn it or exchange your local currency with bitcoin. Bitcoin is for all whether you are technologically inclined or not, it is for all.

I'm an "ordinary citizen" a fairly successful photographer. I'm digging into this, but have to admit, it's foreign and seems a bit speculative. So many questions.
