Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet
Hello everyone. For all of us who are very pro Bitcoin and other crypto. We all look to the day that more people use it and accept it as daily use.
However we are far from that. One thing that I am finding is Bitcoin is still not user friendly enough. Many people even who are young like 25 and under and even over 25 etc. Are not tech knowledge or financial educated enough to understand.
I am thinking that even the apps out there are still confusing for people to use. Sure many people may own a mobile phone but many do not understand how they work.
Therefore many people do not understand Bitcoin and seems too complicated still.
What are 5 things you think are needed to make Bitcoin more easy for people to use.
More less they can use and move Bitcoin without really being mindful of what they are doing in a transaction.

I can agree upon that. It took me months to understand how bitcoin works technically, but I believe that learning just how it works on theory is enough. Bitcoin is not user friendly, but you know what? I don't expect from obsolete people to use bitcoin, at least not as a medium of exchange. They use paypal or a bank and I'm pretty sure they're okay with it. Bitcoins are in danger on their hands.
Facts like bank's trust abuse model requires some education to understand why it is good for everyone to be responsible for their own wealth.

I think it'd be a problem if Bitcoin becomes user friendly, because if it's decentralized it just cannot be. You're on your own. There's no Bitcoin worker who is obliged to help you with your wallets. You are free to create, deposit to, withdraw or sign from and use an address in any way you'd like - even share the private key to it, if you will. You're just free to educate yourself and, if you're interested, to join the network. Computers aren't user-friendly either. Yet, they're being sold every year "like hot bread" (a Romanian saying). Let it happen naturally; let the interested ones educate themselves & join us and the non-interested ones stay away. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Hello Friend how's it going? If you are absolutely right but you also have to know that there are people who tell others that they put your money in bitcoin and when it increases in price you sell it and it is not like that, many people for lack of knowledge tend to see it difficult because they are not educated to see tutorials and read a little

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet
Bitcoin is complex, and hard to use also it is very confusing for both businesses and consumers. However, many technologies were predicted to change the future but they ended up being just fads, and some technologies have also been predicted to be fads but they ended up changing our future. Cryptocurrency – is both-- a fad, and the future.

Of course, it's not user-friendly, but it's something that requires a little more knowledge than a plastic card that we push into the ATM and type in a 4-digit PIN. Although in order for BTC to be used successfully, the average user does not have to be familiar with some technical details - it is enough to know what a public coin address is, what a private key is and how to receive/send a transaction with the appropriate fee. My basic opinion is that everyone who wanted to learn it can master the same thing within 60 minutes with the appropriate support.
What is a much bigger problem is actually that few people choose to swim against the current, in this case to dare to think that there is anything better than banks and the existing financial system. Most of these people will not even try to understand what Bitcoin is, they are in some ways already lost cases, lifelong prisoners of the system in which they live.

Are you seriously saying that? From personal experience, young people, especially under 25 know a lot about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies than people with higher age so young generation is more educated around it. There is nothing difficult in using bitcoin and crypto wallets apps, for example blockchain.com's wallet is as easy as ABC to use. Some people don't even know what is playstore and how to download from it, so... Bitcoin is easy to use, problem is that it's not massively adopted and isn't as fast as visa/master card payments if you don't own card that automatically converts bitcoin into USD. If you want to pay manually from your wallet, then it's time consuming.

At morden age little children using a phone without the help of older people. They try to recognise the pattern and symbol to open photo/video gallery or play different games. I have seen a lot of children who haven't learned to read yet but they can use phone nicely. Let's come to the point, bitcoin isn't so much complicated that younger generation won't understand it. At the beginning everything looks tough. But when younger people will show some effort to learn about bitcoin they will found it easy. Cause bitcoin works same way always. If a child can use phone by following the pattern/symbol why younger people won't able to use bitcoin if they give it a try!

Nonsense. These people at age 25 +/- know how to install most of the software, games and wallets to pay for the games. You don't need to be a tech specialist to open google, search what is bitcoin and spend 30min reading it, then download wallet, search for exchange and follow FAQ hints. You even need to go deep into all technical aspects. Just download app wallet, follow quick steps and buy your first cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is User Friendly that means the coin is easy to get and easy to spend, but what you are talking about is about massive adoption, those are two different things... If not all the people are using bitcoin is because they are not interested, they have a nice life with their bank accounts and know their way to manage their money.
If we haven't seen a massive adoption is because we don't need bitcoin to have a good life.

I admit that younger people don't know much about bitcoin because they seem not interesting in bitcoin. I think they still want to use what they already used. If they can be interested in bitcoin, I am sure they will spend their time reading more about bitcoin. With the growth of internet technology, they can use their mobile phone to read, learn, and practice, so they will know about bitcoin. Maybe they can not understand in short, but if they are still learning bitcoin, I am sure they will be familiar with bitcoin, and they will not have a problem to use bitcoin.

im a bit flattered for calling me a verry pro . no im not that pro enough but i have small understanding on how to operate a btc . 25 yr old isnt the age group that people people will understand to use a crypto but they can be below than this and can be older than you can imagine . they dont need to have a knowledge on tech stuffs or knowledge on financial before they can use it but like me as long as they are not uneducated they are welcome here . we dont need 5 things , thats too much . btc is not too complicated for that

But please take in consideration that we are talking about Finances here and I believe most of us are very cautious on this matter especially if user is new on this kind of things like cryptocurrency. If you search on Google about bitcoin, there are some article that shows previous hack, scam, fraud and other negative things about bitcoin so if you are newbie and zero knowledge about it. You will hesitate to install and transfer carelessly. It is not easy as what you are describing because of negative psychological effect. Maybe you know cryptocurrency during early stage and you didn't experience converting your fiat money to BTC when you are still new on crypto.

The interesting fact is the young ages (18-34) are the most group that holding Bitcoin [1] I understand how difficult to learn Bitcoin if you're not tech-savvy person. You'll feel dizzy when you see some alien word and tired to understand every single of these word. Never give up and it really need times, nothing instant in this world.

Today it's too hard to introduce the use of the bitcoin because there are a lot.of people telling this is a scam but if they prove it they don't have too much idea regarding this.
The reason why is because of the rumors they hear about the bitcoin that this is a scam but the truth is not.
If you want to share the use of the bitcoin I think the very catchy thing to tell them is they can earn with the bitcoin, it's safe and it's transparent for sure someone caught their curiosity about this kind of topic.
But I think the elders don't want to join with the bitcoin because they are afraid of changes and they don't know most likely the risk-takers are the teenagers.

You are mistaking wallet user experience with a whole technology, that is mostly transparent to normal life. Your user experience is determined by the wallet you use. The millennials should have less trouble using an app to pay and get paid, its some of the old dinosaurs that need their physical bills and coins and not newfangled electric thingies to move money around... Things to do: Nothing, Bitcoin is fine the way it is. If anything LN made it a bit more complex, but you can ignore LN entirely. Else, if you have an issue with YOUR user experience, then you have something to tell to the developers of the wallet you used. Bitcoin has nothing complicated. You just send money to an address, there is nothing more to that. Maybe you'll want to remind your users that all transactions are FINAL, this is no paypal, wiretransfer or credit card, you cannot revert a transaction. But you could use a mutually trusted escrow. You may also choose to pay less in transaction fees if you are willing to wait a day or so, but most wallets don't even show you that part unless you delve in the settings. Unfortunately this also leads to the misconception of Bitcoin being "expensive" or "slow", when its actually your wallet deciding for you (or the service you are moving funds from). Most of these things are not even related to Bitcoin but the use of virtual currency. If you live in a country with an excellent super strong fiat, you are probably too spoiled and used to just fork cash for anything. If you live in a less blessed place, you are already quite familiar with using electronic means, trust me, there is no cash with hyperinflation, just crazy online banking. I feel for the poor souls that lived the Pengo one under communism, but history says people just used things like cigarettes or liquor bottles as a means of exchange. Today there is Bitcoin...

Far from the expectations of others. Thus, bitcoin isn't really that user friendly like fiat money. They are saying it is complicated because we need crypto wallets, btc address, internet connection to send bitcoin payments. Unlike fiat money that we can easily spend it without even the use of anything. Although there are selected areas wherein they are accepting bitcoin as a payment but most people considered to pay in cash as well.
Also, bitcoin is not yet ready to be used by majority of people. No offense but they just don't want it to be just complex.

Bitcoin will always not user-friendly for a person that will stick to that idea for long. I know, there are difficulties understanding even the basics of using Bitcoin but I believe the majority here, including me, experience that kind of difficulty during our newbie days. What are those things we did in order to deal with that problem? If we can, then other people, especially "millennials" can do the same. At that age period, and seeing the status of today's generation, they should at least understand some basic concepts about using bitcoin.
Honestly, the problem is not about being user-friendly but the whole image of bitcoin itself. That was the concern of other people who hesitate to be involved in the crypto-world. Even they are aware that there are several people already who prove that bitcoin is not a bad scheme and since it's inception, bitcoin able to established a vast community, there are "things" in their mind buzzing them all the time that in Bitcoin won't last for a long-time.
I don't blame them. Let them think of that. Bitcoin will progress even with that negativity. On a positive note, no doubt that the adoption is increasing over time, even how slowly it was looked at by others.

Maybe bitcoin is not getting user friendly or beginner friendly because if you have no perseverance as a businessman/woman then you are just going to waste yourtime with it and it will only make you spend money for nothing because bitcoin is not a playground where anyone can enter since it is very complicated and you have to be a better trader or holder if you want to survive. Every businessman/woman has a characteristics of having a long patience.
