Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet

[XCANA]

Well, you see Bitcoin as what's not friendly but be clear that, Bitcoin wasn't built like what the centralized system has build but Bitcoin being decentralized should make it more a little bit different from others. What you should understand is, always be very patients with the decentralized digital currencies because of their uniqueness. Bitcoin is a unique technology which can't be compare to another.

Indeed, Bitcoin is not well known currently. We cant not change the situation by ourselve. It needs a long process in order to become a daily asset. As long as i understand, money and the banking system are quite complicated, too. But because they are essential in our normal life, people tend to learn it by themselves or by their families. Until i totaly, i fully understood how the banking system works. Right now, it is ordinary when people do not want to spend their time researching bitcoin. Therefore, we dont need to worry about the situation currently. A big leap of technology is needed in order to modify from cash to cryptoccureny. If you want to be a part of the revolution, try to raise awareness of bitcoin to other member in your family, or maybe your friends, too

OP is assuming that it's Bitcoin that has to change and become less complicated but maybe it's we that should adjust to it.

Bitcoin isn't too hard to comprehend if people in Africa with only middle school education can use it efficiently. There's a lot of third worlders who know how to send and receive coins. If it's hard for you maybe the problem lies in you.

You got the point which is actually true, Bitcoin shouldn't really be the one would adjust but rather it would really be on people whom the one on need to.

I also agree that even mid-schoolers would really able to understand even on the most basic principle on how bitcoin works.It isn't really something that's hard to understand.

Even gradeschool for sure will able to know since most of kids on todays era are really exposed to techy thing which it wont really be hard to understand.

The same was said in the early days of the internet & look how that ended up. Give it time, mainstream adoption can happen very quickly. We will get to the promised land 100%.

[semobo]

When something is very complete new idea then it will take time for mass adoption, I don't find using or transacting the cryptos are difficult but the security is more concerned.Newbies are not aware of how to keep their funds safe on a wallet and they don't even know the real difference between wallet and exchange. But it may become familiar in no time so people need to start using before blaming about the things so it will give a conclusion.

[Yatsan]

Yes, it might be Bitcoin is not that user friendly in a sense that not all are being able to understand it easily. But, if you are really interested and wanted to learn the basics just like how does it work, the real essence of its existence and how can you be capable to use it effectively, then you will push yourself through on getting into the path of better understanding it. The reason why people does not understand it barely because they are not pretty much interested on learning more about it for once they find that there are certain technicalities in here is they are starting to back off because their main concern is the money involve and not learning Bitcoin alone. Newbies that are starting to engage must always start up from learning the basics to be able to survive which means you are making yourself tough and avoiding to get fooled or caught into scams and hacks. Creating of wallet as well as learning how to transact and securing your account must be the essentials needed to be learned to better understand Bitcoin.

It is true that Bitcoin is quite complicated for some people to understand, it took me a few months to understand Bitcoin.
Maybe because Bitcoin is a new technology, it will take time to understand it. No wonder the majority of the world's population
do not fully understand Bitcoin. Massive education and promotion is needed to make Bitcoin even more popular, so many people
want to learn Bitcoin, that way there will make more and more people who understand Bitcoin.

Learning about bitcoin couldn't be hard but can't be that fast. It takes so long to understand because we need to be careful then and need to fully understand it. If someone could make it in just a day, he was a genius person. That is why when talking about Bitcoin adoption, we can see it was very slow and it is because people don't make it harry. They'll need things to be secured first, in fact, this is not a competition that we need to win the race. If people don't find it easier and user-friendly it is because they don't want to learn it, they don't have the patience to understand it and obtain things slowly.

[kawetsriyanto]

I'm a bit confused about your perspective. Less tech knowledge and financial educated aren't the problems on Bitcoin only, but they are the problems for the digital space and the investment field as a whole. It happened for years and needs time to deal with them exactly. I really disagree once you make them as the reasons to slander Bitcoin.

Anyway, yes Bitcoin isn't for everyone. It is just for people who know its potential and believe in future investment.
In addition, I think investing in Bitcoin doesn't require a big amount of money. And nowadays, there are a lot of sources on the internet if you want to find out yourself about the information related to Bitcoin.

Maybe yes, if we want to learn about the details about bitcoin because when I learn to understand bitcoin, I only know about what is a wallet, how to send and receive the bitcoin, what wallet that I can use to store my bitcoin, what exchanges that I can use to trade. That's it, nothing more. But then, I learn more about bitcoin, read from many sources. Maybe education and promotion in every country are not growing fast, so people only know about bitcoin without understanding bitcoin.

[Kelvinid]

A lot of things to consider why we can say that Bitcoin isn't a User-friendly.
-they know how to create online wallet?
-they know how to send and receive Bitcoin?
-they know how to keep the keys?

There's a lot of things we need to acquire first and these makes newcomers feels uneasy and think that Bitcoin is not a user-friendly. And much more it slowed the adoption when it was ban at their country.

[xZork]

Everyone uses money but only a few understand how money and the financial system work, but I can say money is very friendly to everyone because everyone likes them.
Going back to bitcoin, if you are a developer or you want to dig deep into the development of cryptocurrency then you need to research it. Most people do not need to be too concerned about the technical problems of bitcoin, learning just a few basic things is enough knowledge to use bitcoin.

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.

Thoughts

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.

Bitcoin is indeed not user-friendly or for beginners. Others find bitcoin complicated, broad, and challenging to understand due to its technicality that not all people can understand and follow. But some people interested in bitcoin are dedicated to knowing how bitcoin works like creating a wallet, protecting their private keys and wallet accounts, and making transactions because they find bitcoin beneficial in their daily lives as an investment and a cryptocurrency.

[Simakura]

I don't think so, it depends on us using it. Bitcoin is also very useful as a digital payment, but because of its unstable price it is very difficult to develop.Some people like bitcoin because it can make a quick profit but the risk is also high, like trading requires a good TA.

[Xembin]

Bitcoin business is for everyone who have interest and to obey all the rules guiding the platform. If you do according to the rules of bitcoin then  you become a good friend to bitcoin family.
Bitcoin is a decentralized which it work for those who really understand the way it works in the market. If you invest your coins very well and monitor them to a due time to release them to market . I think if you do your research very well and calculate it very well in the areas of bitcoin market it will remain your friend.

The price of bitcoin has always been volatile and everyone knows that. risky everything is risky.
everyone wants to own bitcoin and they don't want to know about the risks because many people know bitcoin is expensive and tempting.

everyone wants to own bitcoin and they don't want to know about the risks because many people know bitcoin is expensive and tempting.

true, everyone also knows that investing in bitcoin certainly has an impact and influence with high risk because the price is quite good. but every high risk will produce something that can make you receive an abundance of that risk, namely the reward value you get is quite high.

for that with a high risk it takes patience and does not panic quickly and experience analyzing every movement that occurs in bitcoin. with the experience you have, you can at least avoid big losses.

I agree with you to a good extent but I don't totally agree that it is only Bitcoin problem, this also affects other coins. If someone who owns a phone cannot understand how most apps works, it means whether for Bitcoin or not or even other apps, he will not understand it, therefore not a matter of being user friendly.
Let's go this way, some mobile wallets now supports multi-currency that is, you can store Bitcoin etc, from the best of my knowledge, it is easy to use because it is explanatory enough, you click and you are told what to do, and so on.
But I think the first point of concern should be on educating them about Bitcoin first. Let them know what it is, how it works, its potentials and possibilities, with that the hunger to know more will arise and they will be able to operate any type of wallet they come across because they already have the needed knowledge

[Darkelf11]

What are 5 things you think are needed to make Bitcoin more easy for people to use.

First comes the knowledge,  it is always the first thing we need, to fully understand what bitcoin is and how we can use it in our everyday life. Second, I think it is a good thing if there will be more creative tutorials uploaded on youtube or any other platforms where non-cryptocurrency users can watch and take all information regarding cryptocurrency. Third, I also think that bitcoin being advertise by some large and known companies will be a great idea to make people patronize bitcoin. Fourth, patience to learn, ofcourse the beginning will always be the hardest part. If they do not have that characteristic then bitcoin will always be difficult to digest for them. Last but not the least is having the resources you can not use bitcoin if you do not have the resources in your hands.
