I guess just most people don't seem interested in it as they do not feel the need for it.

Well more than half of the General public doesn't!

If you read the write up:

http://bitforum.info/t/do-you-know-what-bitcoin-is-more-than-half-of-the-general-public-dont/224?u=angelo

WTF? How come bitcoin is still unknown to the common people?
Start ups after start ups have managed to raise millions and millions in funding but more than 50% of the common people doesnt know about it?

What do you think is lacking? What are bitcoin's shortcomings?

Why not try this experiment at home.

Ask your mom, ask your dad, your aunt and uncle, your wife, your brother, your sister, your in laws ---see how many know about Bitcoin.

I have tried this little experiment at home and the results are as follows:

Mum - Never heard of it
Dad - Never heard of it, I don't use computers
Aunt - Is it a game?
Uncle - Can you buy beer with it?
Aunt 2 - Never heard of it
Uncle 2 - Never heard of it
Fiancee - knows "of it" from my influence but nothing more than that
Brother - You keep going on about it but I still don't know what it is
Brother 2 - Seen an article once about it but didn't show any interest
In-Law - Never heard of it

So out of 10 people you could say that Fiancee and Brother 2 have heard of it but have no further knowledge (20% of 10 people)

it's a complex technology, most people are idiots, look around.

it takes time, much time, before people will understand it. And even than they'll only understand parts of it.

we've got to spoonfeed them a watered down version of bitcoin

It surprises me how unknown it is here in Europe still. I think the U.S and china are ahead of the world again if it comes to cryptos.

Statistically, 65% of the common people doesn't know anything about Bitcoin, its concept, and its whole aspects. This report was according to The Guardian and Cointelegraph. So, in other words more than half of the people around you doesn't know anything about bitcoin, the transactions to be made with it or how to use it.


Am I the only one who thinks it's actually a good news.

That means there's still plenty of room to grow. The far worse news would be if 100% people knew what Bitcoin is and how it works. That would mean that the number of users is close to the maximum and whoever was interested, already got on-board.

And I'm sure that more than 90% people have never heard of bitcoin, if we take into account the entire world population.

I think that most people have at least heard of it, even if they don't know what it is.  The problem is that the media portrays bitcoin as a money used to conduct illegal activities.  That makes people associate it with crime.

Yeah even I think, that most people atleasty have heard of bitcoin and know might not have used it or know how it works. But most of the people I ask, what is bitcoin, they are able to answer it a digital currency. However, the concept of it, might not have been heard of, all over the world.
