I'm not sure that your pecrcentage claim is even accurate. So what's the use of having laptops, iPad / Tablet, and gadget the we usually hold in our hands which is mobile phones? Actually, it's really hard to conclude that Bitcoin would fall due to difficult accessibility. Especially now, that the world is now taking the path of innovation, almost every household now has cellphones. Also, I don't see that the reason is inaccessibility, but lack of interest rather. There are people who knew about Bitcoin but hesitated to invest because it's risky. Additionally, it takes technical skills or familiarization with using the internet especially investing into cryptocurrencies

This guy doesn't know what he is saying, are you from North Korea? well Technologies are emerging better to study more on economics and products movements of any country. Countries with higher corruption tend to have manipulation in the market. I'm going to say that your spreading FUD for everyone. Bitcoin will never fail and it will continously to grow.

I disagree. Smart phones are everywhere in Third World countries, and they continue to get cheaper. The issue with the Third World is that so many are unbanked or lack basic documentation. A decentralized currency that they can spend with a smart phone will fix many problems for them.

...compared to say u.s. dollar bills which you can hold in your hand or stuff in your mattress.

this is why bitcoins will not go mainstream because majority of human beings on this planet do not have access to a computer.

successful gold standards are things like toyota trucks, ak-47's, u.s. c-notes which thrive in places like afghanistan and africa.

Even with computers, we still can't guarantee that a lot of people has a stable internet connection. Not every region of a country has access to the most bountiful resourcr we have. Without the internet, bitcoins cannot reach the places it should be reaching like the poor.

Well, that is why we need the cryptocurrency and blockchain related TV channel! And as I know there is at least one blockchain startup, named Fiancia, that is going to launch crypto news ralated worldwide TV channel!

I agree with those who claim that Bitcoin has no goal of becoming the first currency in the world. Yes, this is an ideal asset, but you need to look at the situation. It is a pity that the human essence basically looks for the first flaws and then the potential and advantages. I would on the contrary say that these 60%, sooner or later, will get access to the computer - that's when the golden time for crypto currency will begin. Civilization is moving forward, therefore, most likely, more than half of humanity will become computer users, and accordingly, a potential investor in Bitcoin. I think this fact is more positive than leading to Bitcoin's failure.

Why would you think that bitcoin will fail, if you are still doing bitcoin anyway. 40% is already a big number of people with internet. If bitcoin will fail, it should have happened before. But right now, its just getting popular and more popular. Manh users are also getting involve in bitcoin.

Bitcoin could never go mainstream anyway, look what happens when only a very little share of population starts to use it, transactions get stucked, never confirmed, fees go to the sky, it is a mess. Now imagine this mess projected on the world's population as adoption base...
What's the matter with mainstream. Bitcoin is bitcoin , it is not mainstream or anything. Bitcoin will be the first internet payment. using CC is now left by many users. CC is a lot of rules. Bitcoin is decentralized , you can save money and send it to anyone without being limited by third party.

I do not think that bitcoin will fail because many of the population can not access the internet and computers. Of course, i would like a hotel so that all people can access computers and the internet that would give these people more freedom and also they could learn about new technologies of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, i think in the near future the Internet will be available in almost all countries of the world.

Not necessarily. Yes the majority of the world's population does belong to the poverty line which hinders them from having internet access or being able to get hold of a PC. But this will not be a reason for Bitcoin's failure. The remaining 40% is capable enough to keep Bitcoin running. Remember that not all successful companies or projects or products are being patronized by the majority. Only a specific market keeps them up and running. But this is enough for them to earn huge profit.

This is the number one flaw of bitcoin, which is why bitcoin, for now, will never replace our fiat money nor be the top currency around the world. This is also the reason why not many people know about bitcoin because they can't even get too into an internet connection into the mountains and limited places which is hard to go to but as our technology getting better and better everyday more and more technologies will be made which will help bitcoin reach throughout the world not also that before bitcoin do internet connections must reach throughout the world. Many big companies are already trying this via internet satellite that will reach remote areas around the world.

It just says that the spread of crypto currency will be very slow. Apparently, it will take decades. Also, the process of legalizing crypto-currency by various states will be relatively slow. No matter how hard we try, it does not depend on us. Many people simply do not want to use the crypto currency through a computer or mobile phone. They will not trust these technologies. However, the crypto currency, in spite of this, will spread all over the world.

its not that important, digitzation will continue, for bitcoins failure others things are more likely like the bad ressources wasting character.

I think that you are wrong. Bitcoin needs internet, not necessarily a computer, you can manage cryptos via smartphone with internet.
According some researchs more than 4 billion has internet acess: https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm

And according some another research the users of bitcoin is between 13 million and 28.5 million: https://www.bitcoinmarketjournal.com/how-many-people-use-bitcoin/

So less than 0.4% of the ppl uses bitcoin and it is now $7k at bear trend and ATH was $20k.
Will bitcoin  fail because of this?

Internet accessibility today isn't like yesterday, it keeps increasing each time. As the world grows into a more technology-driven world, the generation of the common and illiteracy are wiped out. Gradually, the young prodigy generation is emerging and surfacing the earth. With this, the usability of Blockchain and Bitcoin will continues to grow each time. Even If not Bitcoin, there is one thing that stands to be fulfilled and that is, the world will go cashless one day and this will be led by a Blockchain powered cryptocurrency.

there are still 40% who can access bitcoin then it can still survive, unless no one can access bitcoin then bitcoin will die. as long as there are still connected even if only 1 it can still survive.

I don't think so for 60%. On this modern technology today even in uncivilised countries are using this technology like cellphones, computers or any gadgets related to internet.
So I think if you can access to internet you are also eligible for this industry.

Even in the provinces mostly has a gadget, how much more in the cities so I don't think that Bitcoin will fail because there's no acces in computer. Unless internet connection will collapse, there's a possibility that Bitcoin  will not exist.
