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?

Bitcoins are already used by ordinary people. That's not about only people with tech knowledge, but people who are looking to the fufure.

Bitcoin :open immutable decentralized global fair

Bitcoin has freed, continuing to free, and tomorrow will still free many people globally from the centrally controlled debt-based fiat system that confiscates your wealth with inflation and tax. Bitcoin is a TRUE savings vehicle. Real Estate, Hospital healthcare, Global traveling, College Education gets cheaper as you hold Bitcoin.

Just a reminder to newbies:
Bitcoin CANNOT be controlled.

Bitcoin cannot be made legal. Governments may still attempt to do so.

Bitcoin cannot be made illegal. Governments may still attempt to do so.

Bitcoin reached escape velocity 4-years ago in 2013 which means it cannot be stopped - cannot make it illegal or legal - governments/banks do not matter. Bitcoin cannot be controlled.

On the opposite end of the spectrum the global fiat (US Dollars, Indian Rupees, Chinese Yuan, etc) bubble system broke a couple of decades ago.

Fiat around the world is forced to inflate issuance as its heavily infested, burdened and broken with:
-regulatory burden on fiat banks & system (incredibly costly)
-unemployment & other welfare costs
-inflating fiat to keep stock market rising and to keep house-prices from collapsing
-financing conflicts, bombs, and "aid"
-insurance fraud
-false claims and insurance loss-events
-stabilize regions after natural disasters
-keeping monopolies with internet access centralized and search engine crawlers centralized
-money laundering
-chargebacks
-frivolous legal costs (lawsuits bogging the system down)
-state-sponsored corruption and unofficial corruption (governments and gangs, banks and conartists)
-retirement obligations (debasement in value to keep up with payments from government or other retirement-obligations)
-fake credit (goods being transacted with credit-loss, replaced by inflation of monetary base rather than bringing perpetrators & source to justice)
-using enforcement labor to freeze accounts and assets and take away your money
-costs of auditors and budgetors and accountants to governments and businesses

Bitcoin, systemically, is free from these burdens.

Bitcoin is GLOBALLY held and sought after by people in almost every country - see global trade data by country or see this list:

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP BLOWING BUBBLES OF EXTRA FIAT MONEY AROUND THE WORLD? (PLEASE NO MORE USD, EUROS, JAPANESE YENS, INDIAN RUPEES, CHINESE YUAN, MEXICAN PESOS - PLEASE STOP INFLATING AND MAKING BITCOIN SO VALUABLE)...stop this pumping

At this moment in time you can get debit cards that withdraw bitcoin into USD. Amazon is beginning to accept bitcoin in the near future and entire countries are starting to embrace it. (Japan) Basically it depends on just how useful you want it to be.

ordinary citizens will be able to use bitcoin if bitcoin becomes a common currency. It would be very difficult to use bitcoin without the knowledge of technology. You don't understand technology, you will not understand bitcoin. bitcoin used by people in the profession group like a merchants, students, engineers ... so ordinary citizens cann't use bitcoin

Yes indeed bitcoin can use any one if they are normal citizen or not but it’s true that only those people who can understand technology or doing online activities because bitcoin is a digital currency and its only available on line so if the people they understand internet so they can use easily.

there are very high technical barriers. many "ordinary citizens" have a lag of knowledge and trust in IT and internet.
possible mistakes of all kinds and hackers are not without a good reason feared by "ordinary citizens".
further the cryptocurrency skill adaptation needs a lot of time and motivation and the payment options for cryptocurrencies are still too rare.
amazon needs to accept them and we are one step further Grin

Yes, I am in fact an ordinary citizen. Bitcoin does not choose status because it is made for everyone. You just need the basic things like a pc or mobile phone and internet and you are good to go.

Yes it's true, how come everyone still with bitcoin? We are all free to use bitcoin even in some cities bitcoin can be used for direct transactions such as hotels, restaurants, taxi, etc.

As long as you can acccess internet and have some knowledge about using something like bitcoin you can participate and gain some money to be successful. Since bitcoin have an easy transaction, also have peer to peer action you can participate it.

Where I find most people stumble is the concept or public and private keys. Its still too easy for people to get confused and accidentally send out the private keys my mistake, then it becomes "whoops here's the public one instead" and then that's one step down towards someone losing their shirt...

It's a personal choice if you want to involve in bitcoin. If you are not into technologies or just something about gadgets then probably your do not know what all the functions of it. Maybe some people heard about what bitcoin is but they not interested at it. I think professional personalities don't want to involve such things as bitcoin because they don't have enough time to spend in.

I think everyone can use bitcoin can learn how to use it, it will depend how the popularity of bitcoin will continue. Not only those with computer savvy have the opportunity to use bitcoin because it is not as complicated as what people think. if we try to understand more deeply about bitcoin then we will easily use bitcoin.

Everyone are welcome to invest or to use bitcoin and altcoin as long they know how to use the digital technology but if they are lazy to learn the technology they are going to depend to their friends or close relatives for their bitcoin transactions all the times and this will put their bitcoin savings at risk because they will need a fully trusted person for this kind of money involved transactions.

Its not hard to use bitcoins but also not so much easy. Yes Ordinary citizens can use bitcoins but it take sometimes to understand bitcoins .Because not everyone aware about it. They need knowledge. There's a lot of thing which can confused them like private keys so its depends upon how one is eagar to learn and how much one is known to internet.

Many people do not even know the internet, including parents who do not understand technology. Our task is to guide them and all new generations to be more sensitive to bitcoin. Many people are afraid to take risks in every virtual investment asset, but bitcoin is very different because it has a standard of comfort and security in its storage. Bitcoin can be used by anyone in this world.

If the people have no knowledge with regards to technology or any gadgets there's a lot of things we can used to guide them. Moreover, my answer to the question is Yes I'am one of the ordinary person who used bitcoin. On the first time I only used my gadgets for texting, browsing, chatting and calling. But when I know with regards to bitcoin I was encourage to join the group and I learned to earn income using this, thru help of bitcoin I limit my time in gaming and most of the time were focused and used in bitcoin.

Time will justify everything don't worry my friend.
When the first computer was made people asked the same question as you now.
When the first cell phone was made people asked the same question.
The question you should ask is when everybody is going to adopt bitcoin like cell phones or computer?
And the answer is time! Time will set everything right, trust me in time people will adopt it like how they adopt all the previous technologies e.g Cell phone.

I think today, most ordinary citizen are now using bitcoin. It is easy to understand the concept and you just need an access to internet and know how to use a computer or a laptop. Time will come that almost people will now using bitcoin as their primary source of income.

Bitcoin is free to use for every one.But since people working in fields related to technology gets a chance to know about bitcoin which itself is a innovative technology.Being in technology field,they quickly understand the superior block chan technology and how secure bitcoin is.So,they immediately buy bitcoins.But people in other fields don't understand about bitcoins quickly.Some even mistake it as a ponzi scheme or a scam.That's why,peole from other fields are low in bitcoin industry.

You have a point.It's really a fact today wherein some people get the edge over the others.But if those people were given the chance to know bitcoin more closely,for sure they will get interested in bitcoin.Bitcoin is created for the benefit of everyone.Everybody are given the same opportunities,it only differs on how you take that opportunity.There's no descrimination here.All are very welcome to get involved with bitcoin as long as they have the gadgets and a stocked knowledge on bitcoin.
