There are certain reasons why people get into adapting the usage of Bitcoin and not just because of the difficulty that the mankind is experiencing right now. Maybe there is a certain trigger that makes people to massively adapt Bitcoin at times like this for the trend and the new norm now relies into using cashless payment methods which we enter the mode of digitalization where cryptocurrency like Bitcoin specifically lies. It just so happen that fiat system is experiencing a break down moment because of the latest happening which make people to get into adapting Bitcoin. But with regards on normal days which where the difficulty we are facing right now is not yet present before, people do tend to adapt Bitcoin usage depending on the demand being imposed by the public and allowed by the government through legalization process and adapting on using Bitcoin will now be reliant on the individual if he would go through or not.

Ok, fiat can be printed and it leads to high inflation rates, loss of people's savings kept in fiat money, poverty.

What makes you think instead of reseting fiat currencies also called cutting zeros, governments will trust decentralized digital currencies and give more power to their citizens?
Printing is power.

Well Bitcoin cryptocurrencies will help those people a lot who cannot access or difficult to access bank system. They can store their earning in crypto wallet, which is absolutely free of cost. A country need good bank access facilities and some remitances for good development.
Recently we heard a new that Latin american adopt bitcoin. This is a big boost for crypto market. According to geographical cryptocurrency report Latin America adopt bitcoin due to remitances need ( which is to be needed for development ) difficult in bank access. The local people of Latin America have some uneven income, for which they face some difficulties to open a bank account and to maintain the bank account. That's why they came to cryptocurrency and maximum use / deal with the stable coin only.

And another main reason according to me to come into the cryptocurrency is that.....
cryptocurrency is limited, there is no doubt the price will always like a moon. But in the case of fiat currencies , these can be printed at any time. just for an example Venezuela and Argentina. Some countries are like they distribute money like HELICOPTER MONEY . This is how fiat currencies devaluation.

So blockchain is future and it will help a lot to the Mankind. Always


Fiat currency cannot be printed at any time doing that is going to affect the supply of the fiat money in a country, it could easily lower the value of the fiat currency for example making a 1000 value to 100 so you can't just make and make more fiat money government still need to control the supply of the fiat money to avoid Inflation.

I think a lot of countries is just not ready for bitcoin adaptation as they are still over fiat money and that is where most of the people are comfortable with, Technology just needs to be developed in a country in order to adopt bitcoin when that happened it would be easy to adopt bitcoin when people already have the technology to do so.

Venezuela, Argentina and all the countries that make up Latin America is a great potential to adopt Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. But in these countries technology such as the internet and smartphones have to be available to the population to enjoy knowledge and a new economy.

In the case of Venezuela, I must confess that the crisis in the country is complex with a high rate of inflation, unemployment, and precarious internet and Wi-Fi service. Although Venezuela appears in the most recent statistics in localbitcoin as the third country with the highest volume of trade in Bitcoin, I do not believe that it is due to the interrelation of goods and services businesses. I think that Bitcoin is reaching to some Venezuelans.

Many of those unbanked people are so poor that they don't even have a phone or a computer, so using Bitcoin is not an option for them. And some are just so used to cash that they don't want to try digital methods.

Additionally, Bitcoin's learning curve is steep hence many people are quite hesitant to try it, not without some form of guidance from someone who has experienced it.

They are not digitally adapted into the new technologies that are existing in this world. They don't know what bitcoin is, they don't even have a good knowledge towards the market and the blockchain. Hopefully, universities will implement bitcoin as a course or subject. This is what we need right now, we need to go with the flow so that we can adapt in the things that is making our life easier and better.

You can learn bitcoin with yourself only, and you don't need someone to teach, curiosity and willingness will help you learn everything about it.

First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold
'Inevitable' sounds too confident to me, bitcoin is under pressure in the mainstream, involved in many controversies and widely used in illegal activities online. I'd rather call it great addition to current state of our finance than inevitable, coz logically it is not. Inevitable is something that cannot force to deny, or avoid on which the case with bitcoin it is not. Besides, most of the companies are running after blockchain and not bitcoin itself. Blockchain adoption is realer than what we dream bitcoin adoption. A basic law that will state prohibition of bitcoin can stop one from using it. Not inevitable.

Because bitcoin has a lot of potential to become the biggest currency next to fiat.

The only difference is the platform where they are being used and store. Bitcoin adoption is hard to achieve as it is really been utilized for wrong and illegal projects where the authorities are putting it in their record. Also most of the scams are really increasing right now due to people's ignorance towards bitcoin. Bitcoin is inevitable in a way that it is really dominating the market right now, compared to other coins.

It is popular but having conflict in the mainstream world.

Blockchain is something but Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will forever sit on the sideline.

Bitcoin would obviously be used and adapted in the future but let's not be ahead since we all know it will never replace fiat currencies whatever happens. Just hope that it would be widely used in the future where online transactions is widely used. I also hope that if that ever happens, the blockchain could take all that users.

Blockchain technology is the future, but bitcoin and cryptocurrencies need to be further improved because the latency is still too great, transaction costs are high. Currencies like Bitcoin and other altcoins could become ubiquitous if it's better like transferring money quickly, low-cost, and capable of processing hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.
They are not as popular as the banking systems.
Bitcoin is a global currency and it has helped Venezuela to be efficient out of the crisis but it is not available to all of humanity for technical reasons.
Moreover, the laws of the countries are not uniform in accepting bitcoin, which is a barrier that makes bitcoin unable to go to the moon.
Limited and scarce supply will also make bitcoin more valuable, and people tend to hold bitcoins rather than transact bitcoin.

In the case of Venezuela and Argentina, bitcoin is a great help since countries with great economic difficulties and some conditions such as Venezuela that are actually precarious, bitcoin is more valuable than gold, because it never devalues ​​with respect to the currency local. Although there are few who know about this technology, in Venezuela according to localbitcoins.com it has very relevant trading volumes.

Actually, this had been my problem ever since I worked from home.

Most of the online bank applications need the company details and I have nothing to input as I am doing a freelance job.
They don't have the support for those who are earning on their own with different kinds of jobs online.
Asked why but they say they will need it so they'll know you can afford a maintaining balance.
Sucks especially this time of pandemic and quarantine but it's okay.
There are other ways to do it and bitcoin could be the answer to it.

Even if they are using a stable currency as of this moment, this will literally to change in the future especially if they will become familiar in using cryptocurrencies so it is still a good news for crypto lover as it will surely help to boost the acceptance of cryptocurrency not only in Latin America but also in the whole globe. As long as cryptocurrencies will be used in good then it can surely the mankind not only for remittances but for everything that can be used by cryptocurrencies.

who are experiencing an economic crisis, and this problem is not enough just to print money. Bitcoin adoption is one the best
solution, has been proven successful in solving economic problems in Venezuela. But the role of government is needed for
Bitcoin adoption can run well, the government must be able to accept Bitcoin as a payment.

This is one of the biggest and most important features to bitcoin that I don't think enough people are versed on or aware of.  I think the majority of the people in the United States ( where I live ) just take banking for granted.  However there are millions of other people here in the United States that CANT gain access to any sort of banking and that only gets worse in more poor or war torn nations.  Bitcoin does not discriminate and anyone can "be their own bank". 

One thing many forget is banking is many nations is a risky venture.  No insurance behind your money and technically with such corrupt governments some fear they may steal it.  Bitcoin eliminates that worry.

I highly doubt anyone faces difficulty using "banks". I mean sometimes the process is slow, but it is slow due to security reasons and other protocols. Of course if you are going to transfer 1 Million US dollar to a different country, the banks will have a good look at it. The receiving bank will want to know the source of the funds, and the sending bank will want to know if they transfer was done legitimately ( for this kind of transaction the bank must report to higher government financial authorities), so this takes few days instead of being instant. But with bitcoin using appropriate fee, the transaction can be almost instant.
People tend to avoid banks due to privacy reason. They don't like the banks and government spying on their financial matters. Also, one more reason people hates fiat is because you don't really "own" the money, you are just holding it and have been given permission by the government to spend it.

Problem with countries that are having trouble with their own fiat money is that they would very much like to ban every other currency being used, including cryptocurrencies. Because one thing that isn't helping to manipulate their own currency is the competition. Especially when the competition is winning so hard.

Blockchain is indeed a future technology that must continue to be developed to help mankind's current recording needs. Much can be developed from blockchain technology and almost enter in all sectors. But for cryptocurrency of course it has a different nature. If you get into cryptocurrency because it is limited and the price is always like months, you will need to correct it again. Some cryptocurrencies are indeed good choices, but some of them also have a high risk, you should know about the risks you face in cryptocurrency. Fiat currency is a stable currency and its value will not change, while cryptocurrencies tend to be more volatile with a very high volume, of course the risk is also higher.

Each currency has its own advantages and disadvantages.

You will have a control with your own bitcoin because it is decentralized and doesn't interfered by any third party organizations. That's more likely my reason why I am storing some bitcoin in my wallet. Aside from it is also be consider as a store value  that will give a bitcoin enthusiast a good returns when market price hike. But of course, it's advance technology characteristic has also a great influence and is one of the reason why I like to adopt bitcoin like others.
 
 Let us not also forget that we are step by step unto the bitcoin adoption. Yes, there is some countries that are very open abiut bitcoin. But there are also countries that prohibits the use of it. And that pulled back the total adoption we are aiming.

Additionally, Bitcoin's learning curve is steep hence many people are quite hesitant to try it, not without some form of guidance from someone who has experienced it.
If someone wants to learn then someone would want to help them thus a quick research will guide you through slowly in the process. It's almost the same as how you learned to deposit your money in the bank. Although the difference in Bitcoin is much more advanced or let just say you are the bank now and you need to learn how to hodl your own money in a single/multi wallet address.

It is worth mentioning also that there still people who manage to learn Bitcoin basics through their own, spending a significant amount of time to learn

Bitcoin with enthusiasm and the will to gain knowledge with this emerging technology without anybody's intervention and I admire them for that.

I don't request loans~
The cost of having to store your own money is that you risk losing it on your own. If they own hardware wallets, then that can be mitigated, but if not? There's a huge risk involved in there, and you can't really blame anyone but yourself. Pretty much the difference between centralized and decentralized is in the former, everything is basically left to others while supporting you, but you have to pay them, while the latter is basically up to you to do most of the stuff.

If someone wants to learn then someone would want to help them thus a quick research will guide you through slowly in the process.

It's easy to say since you know about it, and you have some let's say experience with tech in general, but for others? I doubt it. Going into the unknown realm of crypto is like going to the unknown of two or more things, crypto itself, as well as the internet. Most people only know the usage of the internet as either something to connect with others or to copy and paste their questions and that's it. Besides, crypto has some pretty complicated words, and if they had the same caution as me where I tend to learn pretty much everything before doing something to avoid any mistakes? Then it'd be a lot more difficult.
