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?

There has been a lot of progress on these fronts over the last few years, mobile banking took a few years to become popular and Visa's back in the day took several years as well. I've seen good mobile apps for people to acquire Bitcoin the biggest hassle is KYC/AML if people skip that part downloading a bitcoin wallet to their smartphone is already easy enough for people to do with some knowledge, spending is a little trickier but those who use online shopping could easily learn.

The answer to your question should be a big Yes (my own point of view). There are so many ways right now to get information about BTC and this should provide the needed information by other group of professions who are not yet well-versed with BTC. If the group of professions that you provided above learned how to use BTC, it will increase its current valuation that will help the BTC community in the end.

yes i think bitcoin is not created only for rich people but it is created for every one for both online as well we for offline purpose but most of the people are using it for online purpose and that is the reason that now most of the transaction made by the people is through bitcoin and hope that very soon bitcoin will also be used for offline purpose throughout the world.

Dear, I think, most of the people who uses a currency, are normal or average citizen. BTC is a currency too. It has values. Good support. A lot of things are happening based on crypto world or block chain tech. A currency is not a currency at all, if it is not adopted by normal citizen. If a currency is only adopted by a certain group of people, it becomes very difficult to survive in long term. That is why btc is seeking global adaptation.
Yes, I am a normal citizen and I am using BTC

The hard thing to answer here is how is he identifying citizens in the world. Who are those ordinary people? Ain't we all ordinary?
If you are saying this to those who dont have an idea with bitcoin then yes it is also for them. They will just have to seek. For now, they dont know it but maybe tomorrow they will. There is no restriction in categorized human being to whom who will use it. Everyone can.

Before the world or all ordinary citizens adopt Bitcoin they must successfully adopt the digital world. Because as an ordinary citizen it is hard to go on a pace with Bitcoin if you are not even into the tech side of this generation. But it is possible of all citizens consider adopting the digital world and it will be only a matter of time when money transactions will be related to Bitcoin.

I think about it!
For people who are not interested in the technology, to have a Bitcoin they need to learn about Bitcoin, because a lot of things they need to know, at least they understand about the Wallet Address, How to deposits and withdrawals are made, although many applications with a system that is easy to do, but not for new users

yes why not there is nothing to code in bitcoin everything happens good or bad just with click on buttons. so there's nothing to learn to master then awesome currency. even a kid can use it so why not the elder people.

The matter is not that it is hard to use or not or it is it is easy to understand. I think the main barrier of the bitcoin to access to the ordinary and common man is that lack of education and illiteracy and also the access to internet is not everywhere in the world so, I think it will happen in the future but it will takes a lot of time to be happen until these issues don’t get resolved.

no it actually is because some people don't (want to) understand bitcoin and they have proper access to the internet. it is always easier for them to stick to the old ways of doing things and not bother with changing it.
and sometimes people who introduce bitcoin to others are choosing bad ways of doing it. i have seen strange statements be used to describe bitcoin, mining and other related topics which even made me not want to see what bitcoin is in the beginning days.

I think you're both right.

Part of the problem is not wanting to understand bitcoin (it has something to do with computers; it's nerdy; or some other -strange- thinking)
But surely there are quite a few people without proper internet connection - and then it's difficult to do anything with bitcoin.

True, but as we all know the world is becoming more and more digital, the way is see it by 2020 the world is going to change and we all are going to use internet, the fact that most countries are relaying on internet in everything, there are projects to make internet satellites that provide it free for everyone in the world, which means people are going to have access to it, my point is that even if people don’t want to use it they have to because the world is changing.

precisely the argument you, where I also demikain case, only certain circles who can and want to understand with bitcoin, so bitcoin in my opinion it can not touch all people, and say to think about is how easy and efficient so that all people can use bitcoin in daily activities

Indeed a bitcoin can be used by everyone, but the problem there is the server containing the bitcoin. Which I'm sure all the things there are in the world the internet definitely choose the capacity of the server, and each server must have had problems in the maximum capacity that can be used. Until now I haven't also know how much server capacity that exists in the bitcoin, now it can be seen that bitcoin is experiencing some problems in terms of confirmation. Hopefully in the future the bitcoin can be fixed with a maximum and eventually became the most digital currency is advantageous

Of course . bitcoin is used by various groups in the world. bitcoin transaction is designed as a universal medium, and also easy to use. it's been a lot of media services using bitcoin payments.

Yes, nowadays most of the people in every profession does know the value of Bitcoin and use it accordingly.
The real question to be asked is that does the previous generation people use Bitcoin as us? I have seen very less old people who have understood what Bitcoin is and how to use it effectively..

I think as long you have an access with the technology and computer literate, everyone can use bitcoin. Nowadays, we are in the era of everything is just a tap, a click, a swipe a way. paying bills using an app has made everything much easier. Also, its not so hard joining in the forums. Everyone who has a free time can easily join bitcoin. it's fun, You earn while learning and talking to other people.

yes, this is what I was expecting. Currently, majority of Bitcoin users are those who work on the internet, make money online, and those traders virtual currency transactions on the exchange. I think one of the reasons Bitcoin is not used much by the citizens is due in the country where they are not recognized legally Bitcoin. Maybe they know but they do not want to Bitcoin uses it. Another thing is that they use cash to pay for daily expenses easier Bitcoin. However Bitcoin is now well developed and its popularity is also increasing. Did a lot of services like restaurants pay with Bitcoin, taxi service payment by Bitcoins, and more ... In the future, Bitcoin can be used by everyone. Cheesy

Yes of course. This seems to depend on the Government or country, many countries that prohibit the use of other than legal currency, the reason is to get full control of the transactions. Bitcoin is anonymous, so make the government fear.

Mobile and internet is frequently used by everyone these days and if one can use internet,no reason why he can't use bitcoin.
We need a bit of help every time we use something new so if some help is required,it nay be sought.

But internet basically has a monopoly on what it provides, I know might not be the right way to put it.
Bitcoin on the other hand has a lot more competition from other payment systems and those are generally easier to use.

Bitcoin can certainly be used by ordinary citizens, but why should they if they have plenty of other options without any learning curve?

Abosutely yes, bitcoin is for anyone, for ordinary citizens, for all bitcoin users. Anyone can use bitcoin, it is designed for all. As long they know how to use bitcoin, the process, so anyone can use it.

There is no exemption of who can use bitcoin. It is not just for the people that has background knowledge with computer technology. Since nowadays the world is being dominated with technology. I'm sure that everyone can easily cope up and learn on how to obtain and use bitcoin. Nothing is hard today with technology.

You can do everything, but from the point of view of convenience it is better if the fraction was smaller. In business every detail is important. Bitcoin is also a business. Also if it was cash bitcoin, its use would have moved faster.

It's just all about usage of bitcoin and when it comes to usage then it's not that a hard thing to do. It's like simply money, we know that we can easily use bitcoin. And when it comes to fraction the people will just simply adjust because we know that 1 whole bitcoin is worth now near to $1.3k and thinking that usage of mBTC is just cent for those lack of knowledge on it.

It is not hard to use as payment. But it is hard to introduce bitcoin to normal people that don't knowledge on cryptocurrency. Many people aftaid to use it because they are afraid to lose some due to hacking. People with lack of knowledge about bitcoin is very prone on the hacker out there
