Not all crypto users are tech gurus. It doesn't take anything to open a wallet, do some little research, get few ideas from what is going on etc. Moreover you can't know everything just in a day. So many people don't even bother themselves about what is going on when it comes to the core parts, so you ain't alone and you ain't doomed. Though, I agree that being a tech savvy, helps you to quickly grasp every single details and adapt fast when it comes to the technological world.
I wouldn't say you're doomed. Everybody has to start somewhere, and the internet is a vast library of information to get you up to speed if you feel that you're behind the curve.
Definitely not! There's plenty of space in cryptocurrencies for everybody, regardless of what their technical knowledge level is like. It's one of the things that you'll see gradually shift as more and more people start getting into it, the early adopters are always going to appear to have more expertise.
I just started since several weeks ago.
I realize that i'm so outdated.
I didnt even know bitcoin existed since last month and it has been in existence for 8 years already.
Im not savvy but luckily I ended up here.
Im surprised to see lots and lots of information here.
I really enjoy learning here.
Im such a newbie now but i guess this problem can be solved by reading.

I am relatively new to this whole crypto thing. I'm still strugling to understand a shitload of info, terms and generally the way this industry works. Are majority of you guys here of IT background?
Is it possible to fully educate yourself and understand crypto technology if you are not dev/programmer?

I am a newbie to cryptocurrency, I read and read articles till I cannot keep my eyes open but still have difficulty understanding it. I have wallets and can buy and sell crypto coins, but not much more. Once I thought I would have a go at mining, but it is too deep for me to grasp the terminologies etc. so I thought no point in me investing dollars into something I cannot understand (yet!!). Cryptocurrency seems to be a whole new language to me and I do have difficulty with it.

Come on now. If people aged 60+ can understand technology, why cant you?
Yes, I have information technology background, and it definitely helped me understand blockchain technology. But hey, some if not most bitcoin investors didn't takr up computer courses, they only studied at home.
Just take your time to understand things. It's not like you need to master them in a few days. Goodluck!
If want to join the bitcoin development then you should probably be a tech savy with expertise in programming and such but if your just trying to earn bitcoin there's is no really need to be an IT expert or a computer engineering to be able to understand bitcoin. Although it migth be overwhelming at first but you'll come to understand it you just start from the basics like learning what a faucet is. Try learning faucet first for you how to learn the basic concepts of sending and receiving bitcoins. There are some sites that teaches how to earn bitcoin. I suggest you start from the basics so you dont get confused.
It would be a disadvantage but in this era you can easily learn. Why? You don't need to be a tech savvy to browse the web. All information you want learn are now posted in the web. You don't need to be an IT Expert or a Programmer. Yes, It will took a lot of time and effort to learn and discover new knowledge, But if you are to achieve what you want to achieve then expect for a good outcome. 
You're right, and a good point that learning about Bitcoin can be done on the web, by anyone. It's best to stick with up to date, online sources of info, unless you're studying theoretical Bitcoin economics or engineering or what have you. Buy a hard copy Bitcoin book one year, use it as a doorstop the next...

You don't need to be a programmer to understand Bitcoin. But of course, if you want to delve deeper, some CS knowledge is required.
I found that the Wikipedia page on Bitcoin is a brilliant primer on the essential must-know stuff.
It makes for boring reading, but commit 15-30 minutes careful reading of the concepts behind Bitcoin. After that, you'll realize that it all makes simple sense and you won't have to get hung up on all the newly-invented terms, Bitcoin apps, and company names.
You will get an even better understanding if you read some of the academic papers linked in the Wiki's citation section. It's all very logical, and doesn't require any specific IT background to understand.

Yes it is possible if you are really interested in the cryto world and its technology of course. You don't have to be an IT Specialist/dev/programmer to know the basics. But you really have to be eager to learn about it though and a lot of patience.
I don't think you are doomed if you are not tech savvy but since everything it tech now a days you will be at great disadvantage.

Every usual man and woman can educate itself with crypto technology. I can tell you more, one can even become dev/programmer if he/she will set such a goal. There are plenty sources of information about bitcon, altcoins, news sites, analytical articles, so if you really struggle to understand this industry, it`s up to you.)
It is not to late to learn new stuff... If you have the time and good tutorials you can learn any thing.
It is just a matter of time and mostly a matter of need. Why do you eat ? Because your body needs energy to survive.
So if you need to learn IT you are going learn it step by step.
Don't worry there are aways new stuff to be learned every single day
. Look 8 years ago with BTC .

I'm also not tech savy guy. Being over 2.5 years in bitcoin world, I still don't understand lot of things. I thing it's enough to know basics of bitcoin tecnology. There are lot of stuff which can be hard to understand for people without IT skills.
Mostly people don't know how bank systems exactly works inside, but there are no problem to use it. Same thing about bitcoin - you don't have to be tech guru to use it.
True. You don't really need to be a tech savvy in order to use Bitcoin as long as you know the basics then you're good to go. I am not that into with the deeper knowledge in technology, programming, or any IT skills but (though not needed actually) I try understanding it with some complicated terms that I encounter. There are services really that needed IT skills which pays a great amount but also keep in mind that there are also services that you can offer that doesn't require having IT skills which pays a fair amount like if you have a skill for writing then you can offer it in exchange for Bitcoin. Mostly people don't know how bank systems exactly works inside, but there are no problem to use it. Same thing about bitcoin - you don't have to be tech guru to use it.
