Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens?

[assyla]

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 I hope so, we are in an era when people or human have gadgets and uses it in their daily lives so their is a high possibility that all ordinary people may use a bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. In fact, as of now there is a more than a half of bitcoin users are ordinary citizens of a country.

It was not really intended for one specific classes of person in our society. It is an equal opportunity for all rich and poor.

Most new things go through a phases of adoption, it is wort referring to the "Thecnology adoption life cyclye" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_life_cycle

In short;

• innovators
• early adopters
• early majority
• late majority
• laggards

I expect people on this site are somewhere between "innovators" and "early adopters"

It will take time, but people will embrace BTC eventually.

If Bitcoin can be used by an ordinary citizen, my answer would be yes even ordinary citizens can use and will be able to maximize Bitcoin to be a part of their daily lives. Im a sample of an ordinary citizen using Bitcoin, at first I had encountered several problems like how I can use Bitcoin or what do I need and where can I spend it. Those were the times where this new technology is still being introduced to me. But as I can see myself now since im already able to use bitcoins other people can also use it. As long as they are open to accept this new digital technology and be able to use the devices necessary then they will be able to use Bitcoin.

first there needs to be some place they can "use" bitcoin at. if we want to talk about usage. then if there is a place to use bitcoin just the way there is a place to use credit card, even if "regular citizens" don't understand the technology behind bitcoin they can use it with their phone Apps, with their third party services that make it easier and so on.

Yes ofcourse just like me. Im only a student and i dont have any job or any sideline but bitcoin is here to help me what i need which is money for my daily expenses. In school or even in our house. I dont spend my bitcoins in unnecessary things. I most prefer to save it.

Anyone can use bitcion as long as it will be use in a legal way. Even a kid can use bitcoins but I think if it will be guided by adults. Also for senior citizens who are having hard time paying some bills and bitcoin is a faster way of doing payments. Bitcoin is for everyone who wants to buy something online. Investments are just an option.

Yes the good thing about bitcoin is that it has no diploma needed, any gender is allowed, and has no age limit.  As long as you understand bitcoin and is/or willing to learn it is enough.  And of course the most important thing is that you have internet connection and device to utilize and use bitcoin.

Besind that, if you do not know how to use computer, you can not use your computer to buy/sell or store Bitcoin. Therefore, the definition Bitcoin does not limit anyone but it still has some requirements.

For me, bitcoin will not be used by ordinary citizens, due to the technical things of bitcoin. If you think about the fees, and if transactions getting stuck in the network, I don't think normal people want to handle with it. I see more potential in other currencies for daily life, since they may be faster and more easy to handle.

Yes, I think every one can use bitcoin. What important is they have knowledge about computer and technology and they're interested to it. I've met a lot of people who wanted to earn but isn't even interested on bitcoin. There are also some people who would like to know about bitcoin but couldn't even use computer.

[Azkabal]

Well, bitcoin is not the meaning of all life, I think. People can have simple specialties, but earning online bitcoins will not be a problem for them. Of course, everything depends on the country in which you live, and what opportunities the present work gives you.

[Lalafell]

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.

Well, everyone can use bitcoin and we all know some people who use it are professional or expert in computer. In addition to that, as of now bitcoin become more popular and many people already start to use it because they know that bitcoin is also money.

[Choyor]

Bitcoin is usually used by people who are interested in technology. because bitcoin is an easy feature to operate, People interested in bitcoin can learn how to use it. but our hope in the future is bitcoin can be used by everyone from various circles.

[jak3]

I won't say it as coincidence but luckily the people who love technology are mostly developed with the skills to develop websites and software so that means we are the major bridge for common people to interact with the internet easily and more efficiently. We can provide people help and services so they can open more new businesses on the internet and so it will improve the circulation of bitcoin for common people.

[Aufar]

In the world of crypto anyone can learn it especially when asked whether bitcoin can be used by the layman is very possible because we have to deploy and use digital money as a tool of transactions and investment in the future

[craigpo]

Once bitcoin becomes more widely accepted, companies will come in to create the tech to make it easier. Sort of like what Paypal did or Venmo

yes that is right that there are a lot of people who are already using bitcoin for different purposes, even in some places they are using it in their local shops for shopping goods, but in my area still there is not a single shop who are accepting bitcoin i only can use it for online purposes, but hopeful that very soon i will become able to use bitcoin for shopping in our local shops also, when the users of bitcoin will increase in our area.

[Akash1243]

I think when it will get legalised worldwide then surely many people will use it, who don't know anything about bitcoins now.Using bitcoins isn't that hard anyone can buy, sell or use bitcoins easily it is not necessary to be a genius in technology.But using bitcoins now is not a good idea as it's market is volatile that means it's is fluctuating like anything so using them in unnecessary things, might cost a fortune in future.

[djselery]

Yes, Bitcoin can be used by ordinary people without any issue. They need only to learn a little bit about it and getting some knowledge. Usually the young people are using Bitcoin more because many of them are already interested about the blockchain technology. Using bitcoin and dealing with it isn't hard or complicated to learn, even ordinary people can learn about it

[omerchip]

Yes they can but it's so limited at nowadays i am living in Turkey.i think most of our people even don't know bitcoin but 80-90 places accepts bitcoin but i never used it:D

It can be used technically, in theory. But you're not seeing the reality and truth behind this. Ordinary citizens can't buy bitcoin because it's extremely expensive. Then they can't also use it. In practise, bitcoin is not for standard people.

[aryaadikariyansyahsuwarto]

it could happen, maybe if they have tired of doing the job, they will run to bitcoin, and maybe also among those who want to earn more than their normal salary, they will run to bitcoin, it all depends on each of them.
