IMO, use of bitcoin is not complicate. This is somewhat like credit/debit card transaction. The only difficult i found even in bitcoin is its adoption. Yes, bitcoin needs more adoption with even more merchants.
Same here mate, the use of bitcoin isnt complicated as far as I knew it in the beginning. Yeah, by more merchants that accepting bitcoin that would help more people more interested on bitcoin.

Yes how bitcoin works is complicated but using bitcoin as payment processor is no more due to the online wallets available out there.
I also don't know about that node things but i am using bitcoin from long time ago. Only how to buy and sell bitcoin is enough for people to use it, they don't have to understand the whole technology.

Yes, it's complicated.

The people that need Bitcoin will learn to use it.

what is complicated exactly about using bitcoin? spending coins is complicated? the fee?

i can only agree about the deep miners aspect and how the whole hash thing work, but the simpel suage of bitcoin is far from complicated

btc address = IBAN, coins = numbers like in fiat, fees are automated in the client, no need to worry, very simple

now, what is really hard and not complicated is educating average joe to not lose their coins for whatever reason...

I'm a UI Designer and while the tech itself is unique and innovative the way it was conceived for massive adoption it's just nonsense. No common people will bother to learn the decimal value system to begin with. It's completely unnatural.

Are you talking about payments being made in fraction of bitcoins? No problem - you can talk in terms of satoshis or millibitcoins, instead of bitcoins. Or if people find it really difficult, they can use dogecoin.  Grin
That's out of the topic here. Dogecoin is very volatile and using it would most likely cause users to lose money compared to Bitcoin. It is easy to remember the detominations of Bitcoin, you most likely wouldn't need to memorize it when you start to use it.
I think the use of Bitcoin is pretty simple for everyone, it's safe and simple transaction just need a while sometime to wait the blockchain confirmations needed and it's then done..I don't think there is any kind of complication when we use Bitcoin

72 hours needed to loading the blockchain... Sad
Full node? A full node is not necessary for Bitcoin users. Even though it offers more security and privacy, most won't be needing it. SPV client offers good security and does not need much time to setup, most likely 1-2 minutes.

I do not think so. I think it will get easier in the future.
Bitcoin however doesn't have a effective costumer support. There's no one to call if you're having trouble with bitcoins. I'm talking about those people who don't know how to use google. After they don't get how to use/buy bitcoins they just give up. Majority of people aren't programmed to rethink the money that they use, this means that this process could be a bit more emotional than other things.

This is the advantage as well disadvantage of a decentralized system. We need to careful before transacting in bitcoin. A well thorough guidelines are more important to follow to avoid any frustrating situations with bitcoin ecosystem. After such a guidelines I do not see bitcoin as a complicated system.
If a person sucks at finding those guidelines, what then? No one will rescue that person. Try to put yourself in that persons place, you're frustrated about all this shit about private keys and public keys and blockchains and whatnot you understand literally nothing about any video talking about bitcoins. What would you do then.

A lot of people need personal guidance with bitcoins, however how do we find such people? If you try to explain bitcoin to someone uninterested about bitcoin, the main reaction is typically that he won't look into this topic. However there are a lot of people interested in bitcoin, but just don't know where to get started. However the process of dumbing down bitcoin will continue for at least 5 more years until we've reached a critical level if people don't get bitcoin by then they are utter retards.

/excluding all the elderly folks who are literally not tech savvy enough to even pick up a smartphone.

It is undoubted that the increasing accessibility of technological advances for more people has allowed a better understanding of this new currency. Of course always will exist a large number of people with great limitations to access to this kind of financial alternatives, and perhaps they always will depend on traditional currencies.

Terminated.
yes, especially if you want to use it in an anonymous way.
Not everyone needs to or wants to be anonymous, else they wouldn't be using credit cards and banks so much. Everything is pretty simple especially if you are tech savy.

If you are talking about the needed confirmations it's not taking this time usually man, usually it take about a half of hour to confirm your transaction
Half a hour for confirmation? Stop being cheap. Mine confirm within 5-10 minutes 99% of the time.

Yes, it's complicated.

The people that need Bitcoin will learn to use it.
No, it is not (still will need to learn how to use it).

Vinny Lingham said, in Consesus 2015, the following phrase:
 " If you don't simplify the use of bitcoin, why would people want to use it as a currency?

What do you think about that, check the whole article in the following link:

Full-Node is kind of complicate to configure, im looking for image file to just install it on Micro SD disk.

Exactly. And that is a problem that Bitcoin needs to face. Bitcoin needs to start attracting more people so more people use it. Like you said, only the people that need Bitcoin will use it, we need everyone to use it. Every time I try tell my friends and family about Bitcoin they never seem to understand. Spreading the word of a new creation is how something becomes popular, so Bitcoin needs to be a bit easier.

I think that Bitcoin is relatively easy to use, as it stands at the moment. I don't really see a way that they could make Bitcoin easier to use.

I think it is very easy to use Bitcoin easier than real money Cool

I wouldn't agree with that statement. As easy as Bitcoin is, I doubt it will ever be as easy as fiat.
