Bitcoin needs to reach mainstream media before any of the everyday businesses can utilise them. As we have seen, many countries are accepting Bitcoin. AN example is Japan. With this acceptance of BTC, many other businesses the Japanese Airline began accepting Bitcoin. This is the trend that we need to see before everyday citizens begin using BTC as a currency.
I am an ordinary citizen am I proud to say that I use bitcoin from time to time, maybe not as much as I want to, but I would like to think that I am helping in bitcoin's mass adoption with the small transactions that I do, even in my own small ways. Word of mouth marketing although an old form is still one of the best ways to make others know about bitcoin and how it ought to be used.

Surely, bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens, if ordinary citizens start using bitcoin, the price will a lot i think. It may even cross 4000$. We can educate local marketers, businessman to bitcoin, if they started using bitcoin, bitcoin will become more famous and it cant be banned. Also bitcoin cant be banned now and is legal in some countries. the all we need is a bit publicity about bitcoin. If we start educating some people about bitcoin, we can do a lot. Just spread the messege to them to spread the knowledge as much as possible.

bitcoin can used by anyone who wants to use it, anyone that know how to use it or know how to use technology because bitcoin is like a normal money but in internet and you can convert different money to bitcoin.

There's no restrictions whom who can used it or not, everyone is allowed to join on their free will. Young or old,rich or poor. As long as they can manage to learn or understand how it goes.

Yes ofcourse. But that ordinary people must have atleast knowledge about bitcoin and the ways to use it. Anyway, bitcoin can be accessed freely by anyone. If we're going to limit the people who can use bitcoin, we will also be limiting the growth of bitcoin as well. Because the more people using bitcoin, the faster it will grow.

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?
Of course. All of the people are free to use bitcoin. There is no policy that the bitcoin will only use by certain people who knows about the technology. It is better if all the people are know and using the bitcoin in their daily lives.

Yes they can, however the people that want to start using bitcoin will have to do some research first.

Bitcoin is a common transaction and can be used by anyone in all circles whether it be educated people, the rich, the poor, the upper class or the lower class or the common man,Because bitcoin does not restrict its users, therefore bitcoin is a currency recommendation in the future
yes i a am also sure that bitcoin will be use by ordinary people. because there is not such specific instruction about the use of bitcoin. i am sure that people from different societies are using bitcoin and hope that with the passage of time the use of bitcoin will become more common in our society.

In my thoughts probably yes, but it will depend on the age bracket. It can be adoptable to age 20 to 50 but 50 and up maybe a bit harder because most people of that age bracket are traditionally contented with the current banking system and bitcoin needs to develop more improvements to be more basic and user friendly.

Why not? Definitely I am an "ordinary citizen", and I am collecting Bitcoins ever since 2014. I am not a coder or a developer, nor am I in any means a tech geek. I am sure that more than 90% of the Bitcoin users are people like me. It takes just basic computer/smartphone knowledge to trade and own Bitcoins. It is not rocket science.

Of course! Everyone has the right to know as well as use bitcoin. Bitcoin is created is not specified who is allowed to use it.You do not need to be a qualified professional, you can still use as a currency typically.Quite simple to learn. Bitcoin always welcome those who are interested in them.

Everyone can "use" bitcoins, non-traders can use them as a normal currency as long as they know what it is and its worth. Then again, you'd need a place to use them. Currently, not many businesses use bitcoins as a payment method but awareness is expanding and hopefully oneday bitcoin will be a common payment method.

Bitcoin can be used by ordinary people but most important is they must be interested with it, and must have full knowledge about the system of digital currency. like in trading which ordinary people were not yet familiar.

No. That should not be the answer only. There should be another way.
It cant be all people will be willing to have knowledge about technology that bitcoin is within.
It must be practical. There are roo many busy people who wont have time for that. One example is in his first post and that is firemen.
They dont have the time to have deeper knowledge about bitcoin so that must be changed.
Give them an explanation that wont take much of their time and still they can invest.

If ordinary citizens wont be allowed to use Bitcoin then who is? and why wont they? I think as long as you can understand Bitcoin well you can use it it's a matter of choice any person can stop now if they don't want to spare time understanding Bitcoin, you can learn anything if you want to, not just because you know more about technology compared to ordinary citizens means they can't even learn the basics about Bitcoin, they can even surpass those technical genius or what do you want to call them in using Bitcoin if they want to and if they intended to with their strategy and deep knowledge about Bitcoin which they can obtain while browsing Bitcoin, they just have to use Bitcoin wisely. It's my opinion.

Bitcoin is not fit for all people ,because normal people don't have a specific place to spend on and don't know the means to earn it. So clearly bitcoin is not good enough for all people being the fact that it is not  everyone's cup of tea.
What are you talking about,do you think that you are technical genius to start using bitcoin,i am pretty certain that 90% of the users in bitcointalk are students with the age range below 25 years and they do not have a clue about economics and trading and yet they try to learn things,if anyone is interested to learn about bitcoin it is pretty simple.

Yes there are students here in bitcointalk forum and some of them that are earning through signature campaigns,  thus helping them in their studies. And just like everybody else that started here, we are all clueless but as we go on our journey here, you started to learn and used bitcoin to help them financially. So I guess if the person is really interested on bitcoin they it will be easy for the individual. And even some of them become good at trading and learn the value of investing as well. So it really up to the individual if he/she wants to learn about bitcoin, but like you said its pretty simple and easy.

The exclusive use of bitcoins by technically oriented people started to change from 2013 and forward I think, I was in the community then and it was completely different from now, back then everyone knew and discussed the technical aspects of bitcoin rather than discussing profit and rise in value or even adoption and use.
I'd say the majority are now interested in making profit rather than the technical sides and are "ordinary citizens".
