TCP/IP is too complex for the average person but their browser uses it just fine to let them post photos of their cat on facebook.
Bitcoin is still a beta project. That should indicate something.
And people are getting killed over it… That should indicate something also.
The average person shouldn't use bitcoin, yet.

Until people know and understand encryption and private keys/public keys(even i don't understand it but i know what they are and why they are important, how they work is not my game..) but until then, they can count on getting Fucked over till death do us apart. Some will learn, most will die and shrivel up when the real gets real… This economy is a farce and it won't last.. People are getting killed in NY over bitcoins…. GET IT GOT IT!!! it isn't a nice world and you might just die or get killed. lol ISIS and terrorist can kiss an educated criminals ass..
Bitcoin can be one of many catalysts to a population die off….
The strong survive… Its a needed thing.. because you are right I hate the average person i think they're stupid and the only thing they might offer me is a chunk of their money through their life…
I thought the current bitcoin protocol block chain cannot get changed, and if it does get forked, we are dealing with bitcoin 2.0 not the original sound bitcoin… Well the original bitcoin has its limits… 2-7 transactions/second… Todays consumer driven world would overwhelm they if even partial adoption occurred…. sooo…
Let keep bitcoin the same and change the face of the planet… don't be a hater because it means you might die… Atleast your children won't be slaves to bankers… but perhaps the 1500 bitcoiners who have most of the coin.. Fortunately those 1500 people might just be nicer than the bankers and don't have foul intentions…
Granted they still want their yatchs and need someone to polish the railings...

Anyone ever got the feeling that Bitcoin is too complex for the average person? The average person wants things as simple as possible, so when the word, Blockchain, Decentralization, etc, come into play, I feel that makes it too complicated for the average person to understand or even care.
yes，the wallet is not freafriendly enough for average people.And for average people the security is the biggest proplem.
Also, average people who are going to have their wallet on their computer are going to have it on their windows system, and not have security in place, and will probably easily download malware that can steal any funds left on it.

What's going to happen if a new person comes to Bitcoin, and comes across a website, say something like, https://www.bitaddress.com (only .com vs .org) and the program on it's website has the ability to know all the private keys used?
If people are still saying things like this currently (posted today):
Though there could be a program out there (released or just currently being made) to generate non-random keys for paper wallets, no one has seen it yet, as far as I'm aware. Many people suggest this site, https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/bitcoinpaperwallet/generate-wallet.html, and the source has been released, and I would think if it was set up that way, someone would have noticed it by now. But please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Nothing prevents people from releasing source code for a key generation technique different from the one they are actually using.
Never.
EVER.
Use a key generated by someone who is not you, to store your money.
How do you make it safe for those who don't know how to make your own private key?
As a long time IT manager I finally realized that if you want folks to adopt to new advances you need to completely skip the technical aspects... more time should be spent giving them "what's in it for me" and making it fun.
When we did need to have training sessions relating to tech concepts we tried to make it a good experience... for example casino night... correct answer gained chips... or a virtual baseball game between two teams (base hit for simple answers... home run for harder etc).
As the op says as a community we have to come to grips with the need to dummy it down ... simple short promotions that can positively address their every day issues.

I do agree on what your saying. Skip the technical aspects and go for more mass adoption. As more and more are adopting this new currency into the market, people will easily understand then the need for BTC and its advantages compared to fiat.

I don´t know; since idiots tend to underestimate the intelligence of others then the reverse is probably true
being that those "others" overestimate the stupidity of idiots.

most can't even use a computer at all
Well, I guess most of those idiots can use a cell phone which of course is an internet computer nowadays.
The average person is an idiot unfortunately, most can't even use a computer at all. Talk fiat finance with technical terms and the average person will understand just as much as BTC, maybe even less because once you get into fiat finance you realize how BS and made up it all is. The "average person" will learn and adapt, and as BTC becomes more and more accepted folks will develop ways to make it easier and easier to use. The behind-the-scenes stuff will continue to be complicated by its very nature.
But the thing is, Fiat or government created and regulated currencies are already the dominant, established forms of money. Bitcoin itself is alternative, so when you're speaking to a regular person about Bitcoin, you have to explain what is it/does, came from, etc, etc. With fiat, you need not explain any of that at all, since it's already the dominant system.
