Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[DoublerHunter]

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?

There are people who use bitcoin wallet nowadays in terms of making additional income nor use it to make their lives much more easier. For example some bitcoin wallet can be used to purchase online and pay bills online which is more convenient if you don't have much time to go out. And it depends if they want to explore more about bitcoin. But knowing the basic idea regarding this will do for them as long as it helps.

I know some people, not physically, that are involved in different professions, but are still making use of bitcoin. I’m not much of a tech expert, the ones I’ve learned, I learnt by myself. So, as you can see, it’s not only meant for tech expert like software engineers and the rest of them.

Being a bitcoin user doesn't require a lot of things like about technologies in order to say that you are qualified to become a bitcoin user because even the basic things about how to use a computer or smartphone and do common things like email and more then we can easily understand adopt bitcoin without having difficult times.

Of course BTC can be used by ordinary people easily. Especially if you use a hardware wallet with your device its very easy to handle payment and trades with Bitcoin and supported altcoins.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Yes bitcoin is an open source that can use by all people/netizens, we might not forgiven to stop them to use bitcoin because, bitcoin is anonymous like sending money we may not know who and where money that came from hehehe

[zulkarnaen]

Of course bitcoin can be used by anyone and there are no rules that binding to use bitcoin, by using internet connection of course bitcoin can be accessed at any time.

[seattletu]

There is no necessities in utilizing bitcoin beside having interest, web and furthermore gadget or PC that can be utilized to execute or do bitcoin. Ordinary individuals will need to utilize something that will be helping them, something that is motivation in some kind of way, shape or frame. They're not easily going to utilize this money, pay crazy TX charges and approve of that without an issue.Even you are only a poor man yet you have assurance in bitcoin then you can be rich since it is as of now demonstrated by many individuals that I know and they are originated from nothing, from base and now they are all in the best.

From my understanding about bitcoin and its initial existence is about liberalization of the masses from the shackles of government and institutions and the capitalists which is the fundamental reason in that when financial freedom is guaranteed, then every other thing will fall in line. But to be used by ordinary citizen will mean some level of knowledge on how things work in online and offline. In all bitcoin is meant for and can be used by ordinary citizens.

[Al Amin]

I think bitcoin can be used on everyone. The important thing is that the person has a will and learn to understand about bitcoin, of course, there is someone who helps to understand the bitcoin. Because I am also an ordinary citizen who lacks the knowledge of technology.

[Piesel]

Yes, bitcoin can. There is no limitation to anyone who is holding or using bitcoin at all. Everyone can access to the blockchain and buy bitcoin for themselves. However, you still need to have enough equipment and technology to use bitcoin appropriately. You can not use bitcoin if you do not own a smartphone or a computer. Therefore, the technology is very important to everyone who wants to use bitcoin

[uztre29]

Yes. Bitcoin is not only for those people who are interested in technology. Bitcoin is actually used for transactions or trading. It is a form of digital currency. There are companies or businesses accepting bitcoin as a payment. People pay bitcoins for whatever goods or services they wish to purchase. Thus, ordinary people can use bitcoin too.

[sindikat]

Bitcoin is the currency for all. In fact, now we do not know and do not use even half of the opportunities offered bitcoin. If people do not destroy the currency of their Mercantile interests in the future we can see a very different society.

[TheCoinFinder]

There are no limiting conditions in using bitcoin but storing bitcoin involves risk of price devalue therefore poor citizens can't afford to loose.
But If bitcoin is accepted by government,people will embrace bitcoin and start utilizing it in every payment mode and that would be a chance when nations including ordinary citizens shall be using it righteously as a method of payment.

[Pattart]

Of course it can be, bitcoin can be used by all circles of society no matter what their position and status in their own country. everyone would be interested in bitcoin especially with high prices, people who have not used bitcoin because they do not understand or do not know the benefits of bitcoin actually.

Yes, there is no discrimination in usage of bitcoin. Whether it's poor or rich doesn't matter, who has got the knowledge about it can make use of it for good things. This eventually make them understand better about bitcoin as well the different other digital assets available for usage.

This is what I like most about bitcoins that they are for everyone. They are not limited to any particular country, state, race, creed etc. anyone who is in need of money and knows operating computers and internet can take advantage from bitcoins. Bitcoins serve all with profits without any discrimination.

Bitcoin is for anyone. everyone in many countries is free to use bitcoin without exception there are no rules and restrictions and that's what makes a lot of people call bitcoin a currency of freedom. but even so bitcoin can only be accessed using the internet while some circles in a society do not even know the internet even the lower class society do not have access to use the internet?

[doblok]

certainly can and bitcoin has spread to all countries so anyone can have or learn about bitcoin and I'm sure the future bitcoin can be used as a legitimate currency and can be enjoyed and used among the public

[Rishabh riyz]

Bitcoin can be used by ordinary man, their is no restrictions on users .
Anyone one can access it.
 they just need some basic knowledge about bitcoins like the value and literate enough to use a smart phone.
They can use it as a currency with the help of android wallets like coinbase ,blockchain etc:-.
And obviously for using digital currencies one must have access to internet.

[n0ne]

certainly can and bitcoin has spread to all countries so anyone can have or learn about bitcoin and I'm sure the future bitcoin can be used as a legitimate currency and can be enjoyed and used among the public

As the user mentioned bitcoin have been getting spread around most of the countries. Very few countries have officially banned bitcoin and people from those countries too use bitcoin through different VPN and other bypassing services. There is no restriction in usage of bitcoin, maybe in future things might change.

[khaled0111]

That means de are extraordinary people witch is a good thing
Like any new technology, especialy related to money, it will need tome to be widely used. It needs time to be known and trusted. Not everyone will invest his money in something he don't understand.

[Dhaaaw]

Is this even a real question hah, more than 90% of this forum are 'ordinary citizens' and we probably all deal with bitcoin on a daily basis transaction wise, but if you're talking about mining or investement that's less likely.

[Drnice]

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 might not be impossible to see them use it, but it will take time. As time goes on,  technology will take over the world and at that point in time, everybody will have to face technology to survive  then bitcoin will be used by people you mentioned.

[Aufar]

Surely it could be because bitcoin should be introduced to everyone because it has a function that can really help the community as a means of transaction and everyone should start to understand bitcoin as digital money

[harizen]

certainly can and bitcoin has spread to all countries so anyone can have or learn about bitcoin and I'm sure the future bitcoin can be used as a legitimate currency and can be enjoyed and used among the public

There is no restriction in usage of bitcoin, maybe in future things might change.

Currently we can feel that restriction just in another form since we are using centralized exchanges. There is no such thing as decentralized if majority wants bitcoin to be recognized because in the first, this cryptocurrency must comply under the same law of a normal country currency.

Good thing we can freely used of it even we are facing regulations. That's what matters most than enjoying benefits of bitcoin but it has been illegal under the law.
