Yes, I agree that currently the usage of bitcoin is actually very limited, only a specific core of people, who are usually very educated, technology inclined, future minded use this stuff. But in many places some actions are already been undertaken, like conferences, summits, etc, to bring bitcoin to a larger group of people like students, teachers, and most importantly the ordinary person.
I think, currently in my country, India, many are uneducated, but education is a must to be able to properly use, accept and understand bitcoin. So, atleast in my country it will take a while, atleast for India.

Of course, this goal requires long-term planning.
For example, the integration of some courses in the primary school and the college, and why not in the universities.
And if this thing is difficult it can in the first place integrate it as an option.

Of course ordinary persons can use bitcoin! There is no rule that says they can't . The only thing the person need to use this wonderful cryptocurrency is an internet connected device. Also they won't need to be tech savvy to use it. They won't even have to know about SegWit, mining ...etc cause services like Coinbase are offering a very beginner friendly wallet which makes it easy for anyone to dive into the crypto world.
Ordinary citizens can use bitcoins if they have good understanding of the concept of crypto currencies and their uses in the digital market. They can either start making investments in bit coins or can trade them for the things they need. Bitcoin will surely give some benefits, they can’t even imagine.

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 Cheesy

Yes it is , but we should consider the fact that before someone can be able to use bitcoin thy must have gadget , Internet connection and specially enough knowledge for them to access it cause we all know that bitcoin is a digital system and its kinda techy we should be guided by someone who has a enough knowledge in this system.

I think nowadays there are many people who follow bitcoin, not only those who know technology or highly educated people, but people who are ordinary and do not have high office also sometimes can follow bitcoin also to change its fate in order to meet the needs of the economy during this is always increasing.

It is simply because bitcoin was made for ordinary citizens. Or maybe bitcoin was made that only requires the common sense of a normal modern guy, you know. Like if you don't even understand how to use a phone, which will be considered as absurd or funny these days, then you can't understand how to use bitcoin. It will look all abstract to you. Bitcoin requires, like, an hour or two of research for you to understand the basic stuffs. You don't have to learn how nodes work, you don't have to know what is going on under the hood. These are technical stuffs and sending bitcoin doesn't require you to know everything about it. Just like how are you able to use your phone without having to understand its components.

Yes, bitcoin can surely be used by ordinary citizens.

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?
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

Of course they can. Of course that they need a good offer from merchants to actually start using it, but once that is available everyone will be aable to use bitcoin, specially because crypto cards are already there, and the same thing applies to mobile wallets. Everyone has a smartphone now, so it will not be a problem.

In fact we as citizens use bitcoin, I think it is normal and bitcoin can be used by ordinary citizens. currently many countries are banned bitcoin but this does not reduce the use of bitcoin.

Maybe they will once they find someone that teach them how to use it. Many will be not interested, but if bitcoin becomes popular all over the world and easier to get, they will need to learn about it. Bitcoin can help ordinary citizens in paying bills or shopping or any daily need that can be done on the internet. It's not popular  as it should be at this moment, but in the near future it will be.

That depends on how far bitcoin will make it, whether it is accepted or not, there need to be places where people can buy them, they need to know why they buy it and once all governments accept it as a payment it will be easy and usable for everyone, look at Mingo.com they start their ICO pre sale today, a platform with their own wallet, coins and apps where people can be introduced to bitcoin and how to use it, so only time and progress will tell how far it will go, but the future is bright if you ask me!

Any one can use bitcoins, It just depends upon the persons interest towards it to learn this new technology and how it will be useful to them. There is no restrictions stated anywhere like only some kind of people can use it.
Nowadays it's easy to get the information you want as long as you have that interest, internet is your friend and by just using google you can always find relevant information that would help you fully understand bitcoin. If kids can do it, so for sure for a person who can read and understand it will be possible, as long as you will not surrender easily when you first read terminologies that are new to you then you're good to go, in addition there is Youtube where you can just search bitcoin and you can find relevant videos that will help you understand.

I think there will be some time required to adopt usage by ordinary citizens. They have issue accessing internet, computers and other technology elements most of us use in daily life.

I don't think a person who lives in a village would know about bitcoin yet. They would be busy with farm tasks, village life so knowing about computers and bitcoin maybe will be a challange for them to adopt.

Ordinary people dont use bitcoin because of the little complexity in buying it.But the near future I think the adoption rate will rise

Yes, they can only if government has legalize bitcoin and start accept bitcoin on anywhere and everytime.
Learning how to transaction using bitcoin is quite easy , as long as they can access internet , it won't be a big problem. Learning by process is the way to learn it !

Anyone can use bitcoin as long as they have the knowledge on how to use it. In order for you to gain knowledge to bitcoin, you first need to know its capabilities and usage. You should be interested to it for you to easily understand it and maximize your knowledge through it. Having more knowledge is also having more income because you know how to earn it in many ways.
Yeah this is the main objective of bitcoins i.e. global currency which is accessible to all people. People of any age group either rich or poor can use it anywhere in the world so it doesn’t matter either VIPs or ordinary citizens use it. They can use these bitcoins for making money online.
I think it is possible but i don't know for sure if they would us it well because you need to have knowledge about bitcoin like ordinary people can buy 1 pizza with like 2 bitcoins and that is like $6-7k so i think it is not that smart to give to everyone without knowledge.
