Anyone that has the capacity to go online can use bitcoin. So ordinary citizens can use bitcoin. It is not that complicated that only a few can have access to it. The access is as easy as access to internet. For those who do not have the internet connection, that is the problem. But aside from that, I don't think there are still other obstructions.
The biggest problem with bitcoin for the average user will be to be responsible for their coins, how many times have you seen people forgetting their passwords or losing their smart phones. It is going to take a change in the way people think to accept they are 100% responsible for what happens to their money, with bank accounts and paypal you can always get your money back, that is not the case with bitcoin.

For sure, because we are once part of the ordinary citizens who previously don't even know what bitcoin is. Everything can be learned if not in whole, even just knowing those little capabilities of using bitcoins and wallets like using them for payment as what is common practice by bitcoiners. Education is must for efficient application of bitcoins as "another currency". Just a proper introduction and continuous usage of the accumulated knowledge on bitcoin can make a difference.

That right, because we used to be ordinary people who don't know bitcoin but because of the high curiosity to know everything
I am still an ordinary person for having knowledge about bitcoin. And I can say that bitcoin can really be used by ordinary citizens because it is very easy to know things about bitcoin. You just have to do some research or ask a friend who is knowledgeable with bitcoin especially now that bitcoin is continuously improving and a lot of people are starting to get hooked with it.

Bitcoin is usually used by people interested in technology. I mean, persons with a certain technical knowledge are interested in bitcoin.

My observations are that way. I think Bitcoin needs to reach larger quantities. Can use bitcoin in people who are not interested in technology?
Can people use the bitcoin in the profession group like tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers? Are we going to see the days that these people use bitcoin?
Yes of course. As far as I know, there is no such limit for bitcoin usage among citizens that will use it. As long as they have the will to learn how to manage and use bitcoin, they can use it properly. Also with the proper orientation about bitcoin and the will to learn more about technology, it will be really possible for ordinary citizens to use bitcoin.

i find that ordinary people who dont care or lack the tech savvy will never use bitcoin.. i have told my friends to buy back in 2011 they never listened or didnt bother to learn it.. their loss
Well, soon ordinary people will have to use bitcoin more and more because bitcoin will be accepted and adopted by the government. Technology and computer science will rule our world in the next 100 years. And then, AI will serve the human being
I agree with your opinion. But it is hard to convince them to trust Bitcoin. Nowadays, too many people still think Bitcoin is scam. Trying to persuade them is the hardest part. Bitcoin itself can be used by all people who can get access to the internet. It does not require high education, degree.

Bitcoin got attention at first because if I remember correctly its whitepaper was published 3 weeks after the greatest economic crisis since the great depression, if satoshi did not have such a great timing maybe no one would have gave any attention to bitcoin, what we need is another economic crisis that shakes the confidence of people in the world economy and begin to look for answers elsewhere.

so i think bitcoin is lucky because bitcoin is launch after the crisis happen and made depression in every where and by that time, slowly bitcoin is known by many people and they still use until now and they makes big profit from bitcoin. i think what we need is bitcoin can reach more new people in all of country and can use bitcoin for any of transaction or just save in their wallet.
Personally I do not think it was about luck, I think that satoshi was expecting the right moment to reveal bitcoin to the world, there are many inventions that existed way before what you may think but since the invention was so ahead of its times it was not successful as an example the firts steam engine is thought to have been created in the first century of this era, can you imagine what would have happened if we had the industrial revolution at the time?

Why not? That can still happen. Everyday people raise a normal people still use the computer, still love the information technology. Anyone who wishes to get rich, they can learn and use bitcoin. As I want to know more about bitcoin I go online, read newspapers, follow up news.
I agree! I am an ordinary citizen and I have been using bitcoin for years now. I really have no idea about bitcoin but through my friend who is knowledgeable with bitcoin and doing some research about bitcoin, I am now really hooked up with bitcoin. I have been earning profit using bitcoin which I use in my daily living and I would suggest this job to ordinary citizens who cannot go out of the house or who wants to work at home especially to the single moms out there who cannot leave their child alone.

We can take the example of 60% of moms in china, they are interested to invest in many forex brokers, and the rest are interested in various hyip and lottery, introduce it to bitcoin is not difficult, maybe initially will be difficult but bitcoin will ease every transaction they do and of course they will learn.

I think they can use bitcoin even they are ordinary people who doesn't have interest on technology as long as they have the will to learn it and some knowledge about it just like the know-how.

Yes of course, it is just a bit complicated. For the most people it is quite hard to understand this technology. It will take some time.. even years to change it.

I think if, when smartphone payment becomes popular, bitcoin will have its niche

I think, ordinary people (as you called them) can learn how to use Bitcoin if they need it, but the problem is that many of them just don't. I cannot imagine why would, for example, housewife use it.

Using bitcoin technically need a lot technical knowledge.

That is truly misleading! No one becomes a technocrat to be able to use Bitcoin. All that's needed is some basic knowledge of what Bitcoin stands for and anyone able to operate a smartphone or computer can find their way! One only delves into the core technicalities surrounding Bitcoin if only they're interested in it, no compulsion whatsoever.

I do not think there is a limit for people to know a little about people in layman's language, but everyone will recognize bitcoin in a short time because of a community that wants to teach people why not and in a community just wants to spread things. something. New users Either people are unfamiliar with bitcoin and now he is familiar with bitcoin because of the bitcoin community, Smiley

basically bitcoin feel like an economics breakthrough and an advanced technology colleborated , it's a wonderful thing . but a common people hard to learn and fully understand about how it's work and how much the benefit using bitcoin until now. they are just care about make money through bitcoin , not how bitcoin could change the future for better.

Of course ordinary citizens can use bitcoins. But, the catch is that, they will not be able to use it properly unless they have atleast some knowledge about cryptography and security.
