Bitcoin is for everybody but we must accept it before it can be ours.

[lionheart78]

Literally speaking, anyone can send any amount of Bitcoin to our bitcoin wallet address even without knowing it.  The transaction is permissionless on the side of the sender to be able to send an amount to the receiver so the wallet of the receiver automatically received the sent BTC even without the knowledge of the owner of the receiving address.

This simply means that in terms of the literal transaction, there is no need for the owner of the receiving wallet address to accept the transaction before the sent BTC becomes his.

In terms of adoption, merchants need to accept BTC to be accredited as a mode of payment or else the sender will only be wasting his money sending BTC when it is not recognized by the merchant as payment.

Bitcoin was created for everyone but it isn't everyone that will accept it based on ignorant or government policy. Some accepts it but don't have money to invest in it. That is why the word bitcoin is not for everyone because before it can be for everyone,it means that everyone must have bitcoin.

You can't say that bitcoin is for everyone when it is not everybody that is holding bitcoin. It is another thing to have heard about bitcoin and another thing to adopt it. Some people keep on procrastinating to buy bitcoin since last year when the price of bitcoin was 16k and up till now they haven't bought any one,bitcoin is not for such people. Bitcoin is not fiat that one can't do without,that is why the ignoramus will not adopt it because they feel it is not worth it and they can do without it.

Bitcoin can be yours if you can afford to buy or earn it. Otherwise, how will Bitcoin be for you? There's nothing free in the world; you have to accumulate Bitcoin somehow before you can claim it as yours. So, being financially stable is one of the most important requirements to claim Bitcoin as yours. Your wallet should have Bitcoin, regardless of how you accumulated it.

As long as Bitcoin is in our wallet, it belongs to us. Of course, anyone who doesn't own Bitcoin can adopt the Bitcoin mentality. But transacting with Bitcoin and having Bitcoin in your wallet really means that Bitcoin is ours.

I hope everyone will own and adopt Bitcoin to a greater or lesser extent. Otherwise, it will be too late for many people.

[Questat]

Perhaps, it was wrong saying it was for everyone as we can't deny that many had seen Bitcoin as a scam thing and so they rejected it. Thinking in this scenario, only those who have seen Bitcoin good would accept it but seeing a lot of people never see it like this, it was too hard to convince and change their minds. So, therefore, this would happen - Everyone has the chance to have Bitcoin but can't expect them all because it was hard to please everyone to understand how this work especially if you already have a bad experience from it. 

[Peanutswar]

Bitcoin is for everyone who want to use but there's a problem with it even you want to use the bitcoin there's a factor that this can be prevented for example the government they restrict the use of the crypto if you disobey this sure there's a hard punishment so are you willing to risk your freedom on it or not. Also many people saying Bitcoin or crypto is can be use for the salary because it's transparent and sufficient but the problem is the market volatility are you willing to risk your salary to survive for your daily sustain for possible loss due to market movement? I guess no. It's good for everyone but not for everyone.

Accept bitcoin before it can be yours.
People can decide something for their selfs whether good or bad, first of all we all have rights to do what so ever we want to do as long as it does not harm the next door neighbor but in my country the government has done what will harm the next door neighbor's.
On Bitcointalk I have seen topics that say Bitcoin is not for everyone maybe that thought is based on their own opinions, but I totally diagree with it, if I may ask who will see something good and reject it? No body, even if some people rejected it, it might be because of the laws from the higher authorities like government or military.
Bitcoin is for everybody, but we all have to accept it before it can be ours so I conclude that we must first accept bitcoin before we can have access to it and if you don't accept bitcoin you can't invest on it.

At the bolded colour red is individualized, you know they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder which means that a man will always loves where his heart goes even when others feel otherwise,  that is what bitcoin is to everyone. You know it, you understand it and that is what makes you value it but will others feel the same thing? NO! Not everyone will like bitcoin, didn't you see that even in this forum, many well exposed users of bitcoin don't like USDT, they don't and even tomorrow, they will always choose bitcoin over other alternative coins, so not everyone think bitcoin is special.

There is a mixed reaction when bitcoin acceptance pop up especially when it has something to do with the government. The rules of any country are set by the legislators and if you don't want to be fined by Judiciary, you have to follow every step of the legislators, and as such, when something is term as illegal, we can't help it but follow the laws of the country, nobody is above the law and that is why people don't overstep on government. If bitcoin is not allowed in a particular jurisdiction, no need to force it, period! Perhaps, over time, change in government will see it differently.

This statement is true and I agree with you, any Bitcoin on your wallet is yours and by accepting Bitcoin in your mind even when you can't afford tobuy it I think the person is half way owning Bitcoin because once the funds is there I don't think such person will not own Bitcoin because the reason is already stated in his mind as to why purchasing Bitcoin is necessary. Bitcoin was created to solve the financial stress of everyone and to end the control of governments in the finances of her citizens so on this ground I think it's possible for everyone to own Bitcoin because the solves the problem of everyone.

[Hamza2424]

OP can't get it, haha where did you see people saying that Bitcoin is not for everyone let me know haha I will fight your case, secondly who cares what others think Do you feel safe as the payment mode with Bitcoin just go ahead and use it not even Stoshi can stop you doing that is why we are here at least most of us. Secondly, it doesn't matter how others impose their narratives with Bitcoin because Bitcoin doesn't care it is very clear from one day to be the best payment mode with some additional attributes.

Why I'm saying all this because the point of the case is nothing in the Orignal Post because it is Obvious the person who wants to invest in Bitcoin already accepts it as a good asset/payment mode. Why is a person even willing to Invest in Bitcoin if he doesn't belive in the concept I Hvanet saw such people yet to whom ever I had explained the motive of BTC, he accepted it as a good initiative to invest in the BTC and use it. I rest my case OP.

All new technologies face resistance in the start and it is just a matter of time before they are accepted. Bitcoin no doubt is not liked by many mainly because of there ignorance or due to negative propaganda by centralised institutes. Still in its 10 years of journey bitcoin has gain a popularity and we a bitcoin community in every country and its growing.

[Yatsan]

@OP, The idea of someone saying that Bitcoin is not for everybody may really be because of the bad perception that some people have about Bitcoin, but that statement doesn't necessarily mean or state that Bitcoin is not for everyone. Of course, it is for everyone, but specifically for those who understand the values of it, for those who realise how cool Bitcoin investment can be, and for those who want to be in charge of their financial control, because Satoshi's idea of creating Bitcoin was for the common man and woman to be able to have their own financial management under their control in a decentralised and digital way, so that those financial elites wouldn't really be in charge of how we spend our money all the time.

In the bank today, there's some kind of huge amount of withdrawal you will want to pull out of your account, and your account officer will call in to ask you what you really want to do with the money, but with one's money in Bitcoin, no one will have to quarry you for how much you are withdrawing or depositing. So, it's sometimes said that Bitcoin is not for everyone, but for those who realise all those quality features of Bitcoin.

Indeed. Not literally have limitations but rather needs to be met by people who fully understand its concept. Many things have happened in the past and some created bad impression towards this industry and some a good. Since there's a mix of impressions and attitude in this industry, we cannot expect everyone to acvept and use this technology on a daily basis and not to mention restrictions and limitations to some countries regarding acceptance of this Blockchain. For now, waiting is the only thing we could do until things become better for this industry. Atleast for now, we are seeing growth with this technology's acknowledgement from more people.

[MFahad]

In some countries bitcoin  is permissible but people don't accept bitcoin because of its volatility as they have earned money with hardwork and are afraid of lossing it. Those who accept bitcoin have realized that how much important it is, what procedures are there to follow, how act and take decision in accordance with the conditions so they are not afraid and easily accept bitcoin because they completely understand it.

I think people of old age does not accept bitcoin easily because they don't trust digital money but they believe on doing business and other jobs which are not online. Otherwise those individuals who have some knowledge about bitcoin will never reject it as jobs are limited and everyone is finding in new technology of earning.

[bayu7adi]

No matter how someone accept bitcoin if someone is not financially literate, don't know how to store it in a safe place, don't know how the difference of custodial to non-custodial wallet, techinically bitcoin is not for everyone.

It doesn't end on just having it, protecting your bitcoin is your sole responsibility, if you can't do it, again, bitcoin is not for everyone.

Absolutely spot on! Even if we acquire Bitcoin from the right sources, there's a chance we might fumble in safeguarding our precious digital assets, inadvertently placing them in jeopardy. The journey entails much more than just choosing reputable exchanges; it involves delving into the realm of wallets, meticulously safeguarding private keys, and mastering the art of secure storage. This isn't a matter of whether one should embrace it or not, but rather if they are equipped or not.

The intention here isn't to stymie the surge of Bitcoin's adoption, but to be pragmatically aware that for global integration, positive strides from governments are imperative. Regulations and governmental responses hold a significant sway over the collective psyche and sentiments.

Furthermore, no one desires their efforts to be in vain, and comprehending and embracing Bitcoin isn't an overnight feat. It necessitates a considerable investment of time and patience, something everyone can undoubtedly relate to.

it's all a matter of mindset, when you don't accept bitcoins in full then you won't have any intention to buy them even when you get bitcoin for free you will just sell them straight away because there is no compelling reason for you to hold btc.  maybe bitcoin regulation is still gray in many countries, many are afraid to buy it because they don't have basic knowledge about what bitcoin is, what bitcoin is for and how to protect personal wallets, again basic education about bitcoin is the most important thing to spread.

Investing in Bitcoin is not for everyone, as any Bitcoin asset is a high-risk asset and can lead to a loss if you do not know when to invest, so it is not an investment for all people. Saying that Bitcoin is for everyone, I believe that we have shifted from a cryptocurrency to a religious or economic idea, and Bitcoin is not believed to be a religious or economic idea, and cryptocurrencies should not be so strict.

If you have money that you do not need in the next three months and you know the risks associated with Bitcoin and are willing to take it, then Bitcoin is right for you.

The statement bitcoin is not for everyone expalins a lot. And in my opinion bitcoin was designed for those that are tired and worrisome of the fiat money that loses value at every slight of inflation that takes place and therefore in search of a promising alternative that offer value even in the face of inflation. As for those that aren't bothered about these issues they're probably the ones that statement is referring to.

if I may ask who will see something good and reject it? No body,

Oh yes, there are people that will obviously reject it.
You know why? Cause good things don't come that easy, and they are scared of paying the price to achieve that which is good. And that's why we shouldn't be a surprise when we see people reject bitcoin.

[Vickysagar]

Bitcoin is not for everyone because simply it requires at least a little work in holding and protecting it. You need to learn some stuff to use it. And I can't say that the most, but definitely a lot of people simply don't want to use that. There is no things for everyone in this life besides air and water.

And with how limited is supply is, sooner or later everyone will have to work hard on how they are going to acquire it and it could take some money for them to buy bitcoin in the future.

So yes, after that you need to know how to protect it. There are a lot of us here who lost their bitcoin, either from hacks, or we lost the private key. So once we accept it or at least involves ourselves with bitcoin, we should learn and practice security hygiene.

         Why do you think people should definitely invest in Bitcoin? No, it's not. There is an option to use it for its intended purpose. For example, make transfers or pay for purchases, if possible.
         Nevertheless, the first crypto project does not have such high inflation risks as national currencies. Crypto money does not depreciate so quickly. For this reason, most people should not only learn, but also reconsider their views on such processes.

Inflation is a problem of the whole society, I believe no one is indifferent to it, but not everyone has complete knowledge about it, so they don't care much but only know work hard every time they see the price of goods increasing.  when it comes to deflation, Bitcoin like gold is a pretty good deflationary asset, but many people have yet to invest in it because education about it is still limited.

if I may ask who will see something good and reject it? No body,

Oh yes, there are people that will obviously reject it.

This you are right, they rejected bitcoin because they are not ready to take the risk to get bigger things.  in short, bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone will embrace it.
