Because bitcoin has given us many opportunities.

1. give us extra source of income (part time/full time)
2. can be use in buying merchant in some online shop
3. can earn from free faucets

Fear of unknown and fear of loosing is the major factor that stop majority from getting cryptocurrency. With the rate of volatility  of cryptocurrency it takes courageous person to buy cryptocurrency.

[abiola4real]

There are many things that can attract people from getting into crypto currency they are; crypto currency gives wha government work can not give. It serves as extra form of income. It allows to meet different people from different part of the world.

I believe the most important factors here are 2 uncertainties, i.e. (1) uncertainty about BTC's future and (2) uncertainty about what BTC is (a bubble, a Ponzi scheme, or the most reliable currency on earth ).
As soon as people get over those uncertainties, the situation around Bitcoin will definitely change.

1. lack of knowledge of some people about crypto currencies
2. many negative issues about crypto currencies
3. Price fluctuations that are too high and too fast so that the risk that can be experienced is very large.

[Baronggot]

Consider those people from the 3rd world country where some part of it has really problems in electricity, telecommunications, and could not access the internet. How can they use cryptocurrency then if these people don't have even electricity in the first place?

They don't understand about cryptocurrency, and think that cryptocurrency is a fraud that can make them suffer huge losses, so they don't want to invest in cryptocurrency.

They don't understand about cryptocurrency, and think that cryptocurrency is a fraud that can make them suffer huge losses, so they don't want to invest in cryptocurrency.

Exactly, most people doesn't want to be involve in crypto because of many reasons. Afraid to get scam and afraid to lose money. Indeed these reasons keep them from having into crypto if they learn all about from crypto people will not afraid to invest.

[bitcoindusts]

Some people are afraid of crypto currency because the market is too new. and everytime they hear someone talking about bitcoin dropping 10% in a day they will doubt the crypto market even more.
The majority of people out there do not really think bitcoin is a good investment just yet.

There lies much truth in your reply dankboner83.

Most of the times, people tend to shy away from anything new in nature. Like a new car company, no matter how competitive the new line of cars that is at offer, people will usually choose a car manufacturer that has been existent for decades.

And the same applies to cryptocurrency, with the economy existing for nearly a decade only and less than 5 years when it comes to popularity and general interest. This concept is actually a limiting factor for many which holds them back from engaging with bitcoin in any manner.

The main reason when someone decides to use Bitcoin is that Bitcoin has many advantages. Speed, security and flexibility are the main reasons for choosing Bitcoin. In the future Bitcoin will be used as a whole and I am sure that more people will use Bitcoin to cover financial transactions digitally.

Basically the market price movement on how much bitcoin fall down on its market price or the speculations of other members here to compare between your speculations are as the same with them. Aside from that the common thing why we always get on cryptocurrency is to earn. No one will go here if they are not expecting something like earnings or profit.

[Glutius]

I am attracted to the fact that bitcoin is not just a new currency, it is the currency of the future. It opens up a whole new frontier for us. And bitcoin gives a unique opportunity to have additional income.

[hardhouseinc]

Ignorance keeps people from getting into cryptocurrency. It is not a very popular market so many of them don't have enough courage to get into it.

Bitcoin is a completely new influence not just for the economy, but for the whole world. It allows you to make quick payments, store money and earn money. Even this is enough to want to invest in cryptocurrency.
