. But I don`t see need for ordinary people that has no interest of bitcoin to use it in everyday activities. They have jobs, bank accounts and paying with credit cards, using currency of the country that they live and work in. It`s much more easier for them. If the bitcoin give them some special benefits(no fees, accepted everywhere in the world in all kind of transactions...) then people could use it in a larger scale. For now, I think that we are away from the day where ordinary people will use bitcoin.

They can use it, I am one of those people . But I don`t see need for ordinary people that has no interest of bitcoin to use it in everyday activities. They have jobs, bank accounts and paying with credit cards, using currency of the country that they live and work in. It`s much more easier for them.

Of course ordinary people or ordinary citizens can also use bitcoin. There is no distinction when it comes to using bitcoin. It does not matter if you are rich or not, as long as you have internet connection, you will have a way to accessed bitcoin.
Who will use bitcoin does not matter but it should be used for good and legal. As long as you can understand bitcoin, no matter who you are, no one is going to prohibit you from using it.
For me, what matters from using it is the age and if for what it is going to be used. I know that because of the modernization, it is possible that at early age, bitcoin might get the attention. Since bitcoin can be accessed through the internet and it is possible that a young adult might use it for something that he or she should not be doing at that age. Example is illegal transaction online, buying drugs, selling drugs, gambling and etc.

Ofcourse bitcoin can be used by ordinary citezens but for now i think it's not yet possible because many countries have lack of knowledge what bitcoin is i think maybe if they'll understand what bitcoin is or if they open their mind into something like this i think it is good for every country to use cryptocurrency since our generation is more into technology. I hope soon enough people in the world use bitcoin for daily purposes such as receiving payment from a job buying things(groceries, shoppings etc.) paying bills using bitcoins and more.
Yes bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens.Actually bitcoin can be used by all,regardless of status,beliefs and religious affiliations,as long as you have your internet comnection with you because in able to use bitcoin you will be needing an internet connection.
Yes ordinary citizens can use bitcoin if they have an interest to use it. And if these ordinary citizens have a knowledge about how bitcoin works then they will experience the great benefits that bitcoin can give to the people. it's not that hard, just need someone to teach them how the future looks like.
As far as I know, most of us here are considered as also a (ordinary person). All of use here have theit own respective private life. And I think that bitcoin can be used by an ordinary person if he or she is really into it, I mean he/she is willing to conquer all of thosr challenges that he will encounter.
Of course,everyone can use it with the requirements of some internet and a pc.Everyone can use it if they are willing to and they wanted to know more about it.Like me,Im just an ordinary citezen who has been curious about this bitcoin stuff but now Im already using it.
Yes, there are no special people to use the Bitcoin everyone can use it who has a little knowledge of using the computer system and the internet. It is not such a technical thing to be tough to use by an ordinary person. I am a very much ordinary person of the society and I am using it without any problem and hurdles. in the virtual world, you can't identify the people whether the ordinary or elite, so how you can tell that bitcoin is using by the ordinary people. curious mind wants to know that, what is the definition of ordinary people..? if any person is able to operate the internet then how could you tell them as an ordinary person..?
I think the op is talking about the people around him. For me maybe the users who understand the internet would be quite easy to accept and know bitcoin. While people who are new to technology and away from computer facilities it will be quite difficult to apply bitcoin in real life. I think everyone can use bitcoin, provided they have a passion for wanting to change and accept bitcoin as a much better financial revolution.
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. A lot of terms used in the community will leave them confused. But, the thing is that anyone can learn something if it is an interest or a necessity. Just look at computers 
i agree everybody can use bitcoin instead you can load up on your merchant store and buy things online for hassle free because some items can only brought online

As long they have internet connection at home, they have an access anywhere they can use it.. Even new to technology ordinary citizen can use with knowledge ahd process all about bitcoin.
yes you are right bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens. but its not depend on internet connection, they should have knowledge about bitcoin that how bitcoin work? and should educated because bitcoin is a digital currency not physical. bitcoin user should be educated and knowledge about not only bitcoin but should knowledge about about the technology. 
Yes bitcoin can be used by an ordinary citizen.Bitcoin cam be use by anyone,as long as you have your internet connection with you,Because bitcoin can only function if an internet connection is available.
Yes They can!Why not?It is the goal of others that to introduce bitcoin,and also use it to have more users.In these days it is common to humans or people to have a mobole gadgets or technologic items.These is the main thinh to use.If they have it It is easy to use bitcoin and it is also the requirement to use bitcoin.
Yes it is. Everyone can earn bitcoin even if he is rich or not, there will be no exemption on it. If we are determined to earn bitcoin we are free to use and earn it. Bitcoin is much better to be earned by an ordinary citizens, why? Because bitcoin might help us to improve our daily lives. 
No, at the current state, Bitcoin is nothing more than a hassle. You don't gain anything if you buy products with Bitcoin. There are only downsides -> higher fees on customer's end, long confirmation times (for physical purchases), PRICE CHANGING (you can go in a store with enough money for a TV, but then while you are in, the price drops, and you can't buy it), ...
Other coins and their uses are great, but their function as in payment option is not that great. Paying with credit card is still the easiest way.
So i think ordinary citizens have no benefits of using Bitcoin, other than as an investment option.

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 ordinary people can use bitcoin even what jobs do they have and if they have an internet connection at their homes they could really use bitcoin but the problem is maybe they could not pay attention in using bitcoin because they are to busy in their jobs and it's okay but the problem is all their bitcoins will be waste and just in their wallets in a couple of months. My observations are that way. I think Bitcoin needs to reach larger quantities. Can use bitcoin in people who are not interested in technology?

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.
Yes, definitely. I am one of the 'ordinary citizen' as described, I started of knowing Bitcoin just as a currency, yet not knowing how it works. Then I started earning some Bitcoin from faucets and gained interest from it, and started to learn more about it. This made me interested, and even though it took me very long to understand how Bitcoin works (still learning), it can be learned, by anyone who is willing to.
I learnt more about Bitcoin by watching videos that describe them, and I found those from 99Bitcoins very useful, and I recommend those who still not know to start from videos, they are more helpful than plain and dry texts.

Of course! If bitcoin couldnt be used by ordinary layman citizens then bitcoin will fail. That's why we have simple wallets like the wallet of blockchain.info, xapo, copay, breadwallet, and alot more. Ordinary people don't need to understand the insides of bitcoin to use it. Just like the internet or the world wide web, most people don't understand the internals of it, but most people still can use it. it should be the same for bitcoin.
But probably not as of now, since transaction fees are too high.
