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?

Bitcoin could be used by the types of people that you mentioned above. If the person could do simple Math + add numbers with decimals then they could use Bitcoin pretty easily.

With a Software or maybe a App that calculates the price of Bitcoin in real-time, the price of their calculated amount could be known within seconds of opening the Software or App. They could also use BitcoinWisdom to calculate the price if they have browser access.

I am pretty sure that it's just a Math thing.

Of course ordinary citizen can use the Bitcoin. The bitcoin is open for everyone to use.
They just have to know how to use. But if they know how to use is and know all the profits of using it more people will start to use it

We are all considered ordinary citizens since we are not a military personnel, government worker, politician and thus we belong to that category. Most of the bitcoin users are or were ordinary citizens of their own state and will continue to increase in number. But bitcoins is not just limited to ordinary citizens but to all citizens in the world.

If you consider yourself an ordinary person or common person so, I think you are not making any right call. I think the main purpose of the bitcoin is to reach to the people who doesn’t have any access to internet and who don’t know how to use it like.

I think this will only happen if bitcoin will make its product so simple and easy to use that any human being in the world can easily understand it like any other fait or digital currency.

We have our own choices in life, on what to do, or what we want. So, I think it depends on a certain person if, he really wants to do bitcoin. It doesn't matter if you are not interested in technology, what matter is you are interested on bitcoin that you could turn yourself on getting interested on the technology, because we are in the Information Age, that is why knowing stuffs on technology is really important.

So, being a tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers is not a reason for them not to try on doing bitcoin, because bitcoin don't have an exception on people who are just allowed to use it, because anyone could use it, anytime he wants to.

Bitcoin is not difficult to use, if you know how to install and app in your phone and you know how to send a message then you have all what is needed to use bitcoin, what it happens is that those interested in technology are the ones that adapt faster to new developments and technologies.

Not that technically, as long as a person knows how to handle computer, knows how to use computer, a little bit background to bitcoin and read basically they can use bitcoin.

When it's all about money, even they're not interested into it, they will start to study about it.

Probably we can that for the next years to come, as long as there is transaction involve and they are holding some btc's for sure they can use it.

Every day more people know about bitcoin, in my university I'd say 20% of students know or at least have heard about bitcoin, they just haven't used it because they don't know of the benefits of using it besides being anonymous. Keep introducing bitcoin to the people around you and they will spread the word, every single person that I know that has heard about bitcoin thinks it's something cool. Maybe if we get bitcoin into the popular culture like TV and movies, more people will try it out but for the average person there's no benefit from using bitcoin instead of their country's currency unless they want to do an anonymous transaction.

bitcoin course can be used by anyone wherever you are and whoever you are if you have an internet connection
you can use bitcoin there are no special requirements to use bitcoin

Well, it is true that bitcoin can be used by anyone, but I am not so sure that bitcoin can offer a good solution to manage the economy of most ordinary people. We all know that fiat money is not the best solution to store our value, but perhaps it is the easiest method to carry out our ordinary transactions, especially for the great number of persons that are not involved in technologies or online businesses.

Bitcoins has positioned the peer-to-peer currency as an alternative to conventional currencies like dollars, euros, and yen. Bitcoin boosters point to two major advantages Bitcoins have over dollars: price stability and lower transaction costs. As we'll see, neither of these advantages is compelling for ordinary consumers.

Yeah bitcoin has evolved as an alternate currency for the conventional currency. This doesn't mean that ordinary citizens cannot use this. Some understanding about the system usage is a must. When one has the specified quality sure he can start using in a days time with the help of bitcoin wallets.

in fact bitcoin is a normal currency and there is no restriction for anyone to use currency either he is a common person or some one special

in fact it is difficult if in view spertinya bitcoin has not reached all circles, is still confined to the people who understand the technology, if it's like this who should make a breakthrough so that all people can have and use bitcoin in their daily lives

What a hell of question is this!?
I mean how is someone denying you from using bitcoins,
Until you are below 18 ( your parents can).
To the daily bitcoin users the question is sounding like -
If we ask you "can we use dollars"!?
Still this is an open forum and you have all the rights to discuss your queries.
The answer is yes you can if you are an adult.
There is no benchmark set up by satoshi that only millionaire's or billionaire's can use bitcoin.
Every one can use bitcoin with full freedom like any other fiat currency.

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.

Yeah, I suppose so too, as it's not the problem that people don't know how to use, it's that most people don't have access to bitcoin due to many reasons is what distributes to this issue. Not everyone has the chance to know what the Internet is, not everyone lives in high living standards and receives full education, and most of them still have to deal with more severe problems, so bitcoin still has a long way to being used widely.

I think OP means non tech-savy people, just your average hard working Joe

IMO bitcoin is still too complicated for "ordinary" people to use in their daily life, it needs to become way easier, because atm there's just no benefit for those people to use Bitcoin compared to FIAT.

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.
