How to make Bitcoin more approachable to common users

[nydiacaskey01]

Even after Ten years still Bitcoin is used by Geeks and majority of common citizens doesn't seems to use Bitcoin as a currency or even for trading purposes and I think this situation has occurred because still it is not approachable and that is because even it has all the features for a proper usability majority of people doesn't see Bitcoin as an usable currency for anyone who has basic technical knowledge which is not true but in order to change this situation and make Bitcoin more approachable to common people how its path should change in the future both technically and socially to convince it is a currency for everyone   

We can't blame other people who don't believe in Bitcoin and its purposes because of the negative news published in the media. Furthermore, other people just wan't the easy way to spend money since they are earning fiat, paid in fiat so expect them to spend in fiat. But for those who get paid in Bitcoin, ofcourse they will spend it, use it and trade it.

The easiest way is make bitcoin adopted by e-commerce industry but in that industries is too afraid to accept bitcoin because of the fluctuation price. In one  side it can make their transactions easier amd faster but the other side they have to always convert the bitcoin to the fiat too safe the value from volatility. So the biggest problem for now is the volatility.

First, people need to be enlightened about bitcoins, that it is not a tool for the dark web or for some illicit business, second will the development of apps ,incorporated into simple devices such as mobile phones, social networks integrations. If you could make payment in cyptos using you facebook account for example will be a good step

I agreed with this, there are many misconceptions about bitcoin. In my country here, people think bitcoin is a kind of MLM thingy which is very wrong and when i explain it to them about bitcoin, they already don't care and it's hard to change a mindset from that kind of people.

In order for common people to use bitcoin it needs to be...
- Easy to buy. None of all of this headache with creating multiple accounts and all sorts of verification.
- Easy to spend. Custom miner fees and copy/pasting addresses, etc is for those who are further down the rabbit hole.
- Easy to accept. It's easy enough to accept a payment in person with 2 smartphones and at least 1 of those people who knows what they're doing. But what about setting up a simple web store? Where can I go right now without all sorts of headache and sell stuff for Bitcoin? It doesn't exist.

That's really all the space needs to become successful. If you want people to use something, make it easy to use.

from many people in this world, perhaps only 35% are using, using and knowing about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency so that wanting to make bitcoin one of the international transaction tools is still a lot of homework to be repaired but we cannot deny that bitcoin growth is wrong one of the drivers of the world economy at this time, and the digital era that supports the various needs of everyday life will be one of the supporting factors for bitcoin to be known to many people in this world

Of course it's easiest by means of promotion or education on social media or other digital media. Besides that a seminar featuring bitcoin owners who are already successful or who can make routine work so that people's assumptions about bitcoin are very good.
Because bitcoin can be a source of income, of course people will be interested and become owners or traders online, so it does not affect the main work that has been undertaken.

Those people that doesn't have bitcoin make it hard for themselves to buy bitcoin, in reality buying bitcoin is an easy thing to do. There's a lot of method if they really wish to get even just one of it. Making bitcoin more approachable is a task that everyone can do.

They need to be educated first on what bitcoin really is. There's a lot of wrong information that circulates on the web telling on how bad bitcoin is. Telling people on how volatile it is will make them understand that this is the reason why it has no exact price.

Of course, the best way is to do effective awareness creation where Bitcoin will be introduced to many of these people holding misconceptions about it. The HAPO social media app is also another innovative way which is promoting Bitcoin. Users get to interact and share media content with friends and family across the globe as well as earn Bitcoin for referring friends. The app gives an in-depth tutorials on Bitcoin and how it can be used to purchase and transfer funds anywhere around the globe. If numerous platforms adopt this strategy, Bitcoin will gradually meet the main stream adoption.

The problem with those kinds of people, they already close minded and doesn't like to hear any explanations regarding to the benefits of this chain,
the system should be recognized more on its usage and not just the investment factors, it's just an additional features of bitcoin and the misconceptions
are still intact, if we wanted to change that, we, as supporters should show how to use it and not just for holding as investment assets.

For now we had no stable price for bitcoin to be called, but for further updates the trading sites was still on its way for developing a better market demands. Let's encourage everybody to pursue what's they started, and motivate them to gain much stronger faith so that they'll remain calm despite of market instability. Panic will not happen if a person will always stay focus on his goals, greater outcomes will follow.

Bitcoin is approachable.Do you think it's difficult to create an online wallet and send/receive btc?
Even some idiot can do it.The problem that there aren't places that accept bitcoin payments,due to price volatility,lack of legislation clarity,taxation issues,lack of knowledge about the blockchain/payment gateways,etc.

Stop whining like a little kid and just follow the process, we all have been there and there is no problem as long as you follow the rules. Bitcoin is not that completely perfect and it is still on the process of improving. We can make it all in the process by giving a chance to make it one by one. Bitcoin is not that easy to use so does fiat too.

I agree with your statement mate, as people need to be educated about bitcoin because most of us still thinks that bitcoin is taboo or something illegal without even knowing about it. As bank sponsored media potrays bitcoin I'm bad light it's a common perception from middle class non tech savvy people that it might land them in trouble if they use it. We need to show the real good side of bitcoin to this world.

That's the current mindset that the people has about bitcoin. All they listen to those negative words that is thrown to bitcoin but they don't want to hear to lighter side of it when someone tries to explain to them what bitcoin really is.

Showing the good side should start from us and I've been doing this when someone asks me what bitcoin is. I'm plainly explaining that it's a very good way to send and receive local or international payments.

The theory and what you say, hearing everything seems to be very simple but in fact, people around are very hard to accept and hear us explain bitcoin, even if we can explain, they also will quickly forget, instead of searching for more information about bitcoin. Honest to say, if we want Bitcoin can easily approachable for common users, the spread of government is probably the factor to decide that because we can see the influence of government, the scope is always very large and the information they bring, people always think it is very reliable and safe

[Moshaid]

Not everyone will accept bitcoin even if it's declared by the government. Just like the way some people under cryptocurrency doesn't use forex or such. Apart from this the major issue is on the FUD that's being spread around by media house, personnel, or even a regular users. And with this I don't see common users accepting bitcoin is years to come.

[kucritt]

if you want to makes bitcoin can be use on daily and all people will use bitcoin, i think we should makes bitcoin is legal in all country in the world, after that bitcoin price and cryptocurrency will stable in any price and can be use for daily, the problem is because the price of bitcoin is not stable right now, so we can;t use it for daily currency

[thankyoulord]

bitcoin can be made more approchable to common users if we take out time in explaining its functionality and importance to them. so many commoners have heard of bitcoin but dont have the slightest idea how it works or why it was created. Most persons only got to hear about it during the bubble towards the end of 2017 when they realized bitcoin turned so many people to millionaires. Apart from that they know nothing. so we should play our part in taking out time to explain bitcoin importance and functionality to them so they see reasons why they should not only invest but also use it for day to day transactions.

[LeGaulois]

In my honest opinion, to make it more approachable / understandable bitcoin must have a some sort of educational ads on mainstream TV. It need more exposure I guess , maybe also introduce bitcoin during school (around gradeschool) . People fear what they dont know , that is why some people stay away from bitcoin. So yeah , guess what I mentioned would be a good start.

Bitcoin has no need for any commercial ads on mainstream TV or anywhere else. Bitcoin is an answer to a need if the folks have no need they aren't going to use Bitcoin (excluding people who heard on YT how BTC is great and supposed to moon soon so they invested in).

The day people will have a need they will look for an alternative. Now we can create this need by explaining the advantages that Bitcoin could give to the person (for example someone could save money on bank transfers). Organically they will learn themselves about it and maybe adopt it.

[Teawhalee]

I think this post should be about how to make bitcoin more popular and widely used . A lot of people both elite and non-elite are using bitcoin as we speak so it’s not it’s only a certain set of people that are using bitcoin now. We should focus more how to get more people using bitcoin as payment method and as a monetary system that it is designed to be.

How can someone who isn't interested in bitcoin and does not own any can make it hard for himself to buy? He doesn't care and he doesn't want it. I don't understand what you're trying to say here but from the looks of it it's really complicated

To make it approachable you have to make it easy to understand. People don't know how their banks work but they do know how to insert a card into a terminal.
