Very hard question. I think when Bitcoin become mainstream and media start to report much more about Bitcoin, people will start to change their mind and start using it. It will took some time, of course, but I hope this will happen soon ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Maybe a better way to get people to be comfortable would be to make wallet security education more of an important topic. Today people simply have to figure it out on their own, but some don't even bother like the person in the above thread.

I would argue that people will be comfortable with bitcoin when many more merchants accept bitcoin for payment and offer small discounts for using bitcoin (the merchant would save on CC fees).

True simplicity in design when people recognize it as a legitimate payment mechanism like Paypal or Visa then it will be mass adopted It's an eventuality that virtual currencies like Bitcoin will attain that position now from 2014 was a bit more uncertain a few years ago though ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

After the price of bitcoin has become high enough and speculation in bitcoin has no profits, then people will feel comfortable to using BTC.
Do you want to buy goods with gold or stocks?

Bitcoin is still at very early age of development, and many people are still unaware about it. With more people and industry involved (offering Bitcoin for different services and products), and more media coverage, we will gradually see changes and global acceptance of Bitcoin.

Well the tech savvy can use it but to make people feel more comfortable in general User accessibility is what is important. Having more users feeling comfortable using Bitcoin And having easy to access and use user accessibility is the primary goal now.

I think that people will start to feel much more comfortable using BTC when there are more insurance options and they aren't so scared about having their BTC stolen. Yes I know that it is your own responsibility to store and secure your own BTC, but that is one of the main reasons that the older generations still trust old school banking systems (because of FDIC insurance).

Minority but growing on the bright side as more of the world starts to come online and begin using the internet globally So it is in a transition stage but at this point it makes sense to have primary accessibility for all users not just connected users.

Most fiat transactions are done electronically now. The world becomes more connected through the internet everyday. I don't see this being an issue unless there's a massive power outage, but at that point we will have much bigger problems on our hands.

99% that buy bitcoin are not going to spend it because they can spend it with their hard earned fiat. If you do not get paid with btc, i dont see how people will risk using it.
