Technically minded readers may scoff at cryptocurrencies being a minority product, but compared to visa transactions in the retail domain crypto is still in diapers. Boosting transactions speeds, hard forks, and bolt-ons, like the lightning network with atomic swap capability, are all well and good, but try and explain this to someone in their late fifties who first posted on Facebook in 2017, and you’ll see the problem. Most of us use smartphones. But do you know how they work? Have you ever asked yourself how your smartphone deals with picking up Bluetooth, WIFI, and 4G? Each technology uses a different frequency range, so why doesn't your smartphone need several separate antennas, one for each frequency range? https://www.altcoinsidekick.com/blog/chain-reaction

We already had several hard forks with different kinds of retards staying behind them which only used it to wash the market cap of BTC and cut their own piece of cake. Now can you please point at the point that boosted cryptocurrency adoption? Each technology uses a different frequency range, so why doesn't your smartphone need several separate antennas, one for each frequency range?
For now, the usability of the technology of cryptocurrencies if far behind the usability of mentioned Visa. Why should people use cryptocurrencies?

It is really hard to teach someone who is in late fifties or not a very familiar with technology. But if cryptocurrency will be the means of currency erasing the current flat. Even if they are late fifties or don't know any tech or not tech savvy for them to survive that world they need to learn how to use it. It is like a bit of transition that they need to do.

Teaching them how to use it is the easy part I mean we just have to tell them how to send and receive right. The hard part is explaining how it all works but I think they wouldn't care about it like other people on this forum. We don't need to be a tech savvy to use it and earn from it. All we have to know is how to use it and how to earn from it.

There would only be massive adoption only if people would be educated about crypto as well. We have different technology ranges yet we also have different levels of understanding. Crypto shouldn't just be shared but also learned. It's a never-ending learning process and without the eagerness to learn, we wouldn't be able to adopt its importance.

IMO adoption should be started from the people instead of from the government/institution because it will be useless if the government adopt it but the people is not understanding it at all. We who some some basic knowledge about bitcoin/crypto should start to educate some other people around us. By this way, we will do step by step adoption which is better instead of sudden massive adoption by government.

Crypto mass adoption needs to be targeted towards the youth(Primary) and not 50 year old people(Secondary). The youth represent the next generation which is why we need to help them understand the advantages of crypto in an easy to understand manner.
Youtube videos and other forms of social media can help in this aspect.

Im wondering if there is a blockchain and cryptocurrency topic implemented already in school/college education. This will help a lot and make people become more familiar with crypto market. And also i think the other target market of blockchain/cryptocurrency is people who have lived comfortably (according to the purpose / use case of the blockchain and cryptocurrency). The important thing is we need to make people see this market/field based on its purpose/use case and not just a place to get money , or there wont be any stable growth.

As far as I know US has implemented education their young generation in bitcoin. I'm sure in the coming years more people will appreciated crypto, whether you are a investors, speculators, online merchants or even ordinary Joe's. Crypto is unstoppable and this technology will revolutionized how we see the current banking or monetary system and deviate from it.

Mass adoption should also focus on the older generation and not just on youth because are all involved in economic growth. It should be shared with everyone since we are all building a community and it would have a conflict if we will adopt a currency without considering elderly people. Crypto is for everyone so every regardless of the age has the right to know it better.

In fact, I did not understand your destination from the examples, let's look at it positively. The rapid development of GUI will make the work much easier. The current generation is more interested in technology and has a basic knowledge of how to deal with some minor lights so I am not worried about technical complications.
The problem may be an investment where greed will drive many to invest in currencies and hopes to become worth more than BTC>

The main stakeholders in the country must find alternative ways to stay healthy in the economy, and in bitcoin, they find solace. As a means of payment, for now it may not be legal, But as a commodity, now the government has legalized it to be able to be traded. This shows a paradigm shift towards Bitcoin and Cryptocurency. In addition, the socialization of crypto activists through events can more or less accelerate the introduction and adoption of bitcoin.

the only problem that is preventing mass adoption is the fact that people still don't see bitcoin as a currency but only see it as an investment and when it comes to cryptocurrencies (aka altcions) they can not see them as currencies because they are not designed to be currencies but they instead were designed to be investments to be pumped and dumped so that investors can make more bitcoin. so although bitcoin adoption has been increasing but it is at a slower pace and because of that price remains volatile (also because market is small) and that in turn slows down adoption like "chain".

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Mass adoption is somewhat dependent upon the various legislation across the world. If your country declare the crypto illegal then I guess only handful of the user will like to break the country rules. Mainstream media is also a big factor in increasing the positive awareness about it. Then comes the ease of use, if it is easy the more people will adopt.

the media is only going with the flow! they don't decide the attitude of people. if people were positive they will be positive and vice versa. for example during 2017 when price of bitcoin was rising almost every day all you could read online was positive news! and then they did a 180 turn in 2018 when the drops began!!! as for ease of use, it only depends on the wallets (basically the user interface) to make it easy. and that only requires some GUI developers to start contributing to existing projects.

I don't know how the technology work in Bluetooth, wifi, and 4G because I am not a scientist who researches that. We only a user who uses the technology to make our simple become simple and don't need too complicated. Mass adoption will happen in crypto, and it's only a matter of time. We can wait for that will comes in one day. The mass adoption itself will not just happen to the older people but also happen to the younger people because they realize that the technology will always come and they will want to take part inside the technology and use the new technology.

Every day , there are more than 4.5 lakh transactions taking place and considering the size of population using it , it's much less than the bank visa ones , diapers ? I don't think , yea I understand it's not that big but it's not that small too , because we have to then consider how many countries have banned it already and in how many countries it's transactions are considered a major crime. Therefore I don't agree with you , and all this Bitcoins did without any support from any authority. I think much more is yet to come.

For me, forcing someone or asking them to learn something is a very wrong approach.
It is easier to convince them if we will wait for them to adopt it with their own decision. The only thing that we can do for them to adopt it effectively is to influence them. In that way, we will be able to convince them to adopt cryptocurrency. Just like in the OS, it's like the Linux out of windows and Apple.

We are all interested in sharing and spreading news so far as crypto is of much concern but how many are ever ready to assist, teach and avail themselves for question and answers. Yea, its true most people are never ready to learn but what of those who are ready to learn. Are we assisting them in what to learn and what not to? Have we provided them with the necessary information they need and sources of getting the correct information? Let's all come together to help a friend to help a friend with the assisting and not just sharing.
