I think it is a dot in a bond paper. The population of bitcoin is too small compare the population around the world. There's a people hear about the bitcoin but not interested cause they think that this is not true that you can a money online. Maybe bitcoin knows by everyone when the time it become legal in some countries (maybe 75% of countries around the world).

But this time bitcoin can compete to other currency and soon it will encourage other to take the opportunity. People take the opportunity if they have a proof that this is legit.

Yes thats true.
Only few people I know are into bitcoin.
Even bitcoin is popular still theres only a small portion in our population especially here in my country that's have a huge population. If they just realize how much is one bitcoin now they will definitely grab it. Like when I talk to my friends and ask about bitcoin they just like stare at me with blank face. The more I convince them the more it seems that Im a scammer. haha! So I stop convincing them, all I just want is for them to experience what I experience here. Well, they just lose an opportunity.

I find that the best thing to do is tell everyone you meet about it, as long as you have some time to explain it to them.

Explaining it to older people is a lot harder as they usually don't understand it.

The best people to explain it to are Video Gamers by far. They are already familiar with having a different in-game currency and also know how much it is worth in USD in the real world.

Every time I go to the bank I like to ask them if they have heard of BTC, most of the time the answer is no.
I do ask a lot of people about BTC.. a restaurant near me.. near ish use to accept it as well, I asked to pay with it, they said it no longer exists.. .... ...

Most people I find still have zero idea what BTC is unless they are friends with the likes of us.. I don't think we are even in early adoption stage.. we are in "the chasm" .. it would appear we are going to survive though... appear anyways..

I dunno just something I have taken note of.

Pretty much everyone that has heard of it assumes it's worth like 5 cents and shits themselves when I say it's $1k (Cad) .. we are in very interesting times with BTC.

Where I live, bitcoin is the currency that everyone has heard of but no one cares. It seems like even with recent events they still think that the price is only 2K. One of my friends saw how bitcoin dropped like 800USD in a day and then he sent me an article, I bet he still thinks that bitcoin is dropping, while it actually is almost double the price of it was before.

We need more media attention about bitcoin to get more users and to grow the currency.

in my country some people knows bitcoin, most people don't, i spoke to a lot of people who work in a bank, consulting company and even computer engineers and mentioned about bitcoin, but they have no idea what i was talking about, but i was surprise that some of the people i know who are unemployed knows about bitcoin, and yes their friends and families introduced them to bitcoin.

The population of bitcoin is not that high because some can't truly understand about bitcoin. And some are not techy person to use online somehow there is need to spread awareness about bitcoin so others can jive and can earn money. Even in other country its not yet legalized but I think in the future it will. And I believe bitcoin will encourage more users in the future

I think that when people say everyone has heard of Bitcoin they mean anyone important xP Such narsisistic behavior. xD
Well I'm pretty sure anyone into technology and computers knows what Bitcoin is. How could you not ?

As far as computer users are concerned, yeah if not all then most of them are aware of this digital currency but to say that everyone knows about it already is not the right thing for the moment, I am afraid so. Also, on the other hand Bitcoins are becoming famous day by day and is attracting masses all over the world which will ultimately make everyone realize its existence. People are talking more and more about bitcoins nowadays.

There are lots of people I know that have heard of Bitcoin but have no idea what it is or how it works. You have to do your own reading and research about Bitcoin to understand it because it's not mainstream right now. It is also a little cumbersome to acquire especially for those that aren't technically inclined.

Almost everyone knows bitcoin, but the minority of people who use it, most of them do not understand what bitcoin. Especially for those who do not have access to the internet. As well as in my residence where the level of public awareness of bitcoin is still low. There is no shopping place or restaurant that provides payment using bitcoin. Maybe that's also the reason investors are reluctant to invest bitcoinnya into shopping centers or restaurants that payments using bitcoin. Even if there may be very helpful for bitcoin users.

One of the things that you will realize if you really think about it is that no one really fully understands something. No one knows something from the very basic to the most complex that something can be. People are using bitcoins to buy and sell something but don't really understand how it works. People are also using money but most of them never really knew how was money created, if it's even backed by a commodity at all, or how was taxed computed. No one really cares, honestly

It is not only that (in fact, it is not that at all)

Even if you could understand something perfectly, there are too many factors at play to account for them all. Apart from that, you will have to account for the randomness of the world which you simply can't account for no matter what. You will have to consider ever diminishing details with ever increasing consequences (the so called butterfly effect) and will never be able to account for the effect of your own accounting. The bottom line is that it is very much like the law of diminishing returns, i.e. it doesn't make a lot of sense to know something any deeper than you really need for most practical intents and purposes. For example, you can still prudently use money without ever thinking about its origin or how it came about

One of the things that scares me of people is talking about bitcoin, those people who dont know what this coin is, think that this is a game... or that this is not real money Huh

that is why we all need to bitcoin to be more introduced into society, because that will make people buy it and that will pump the price.
At the moment, if you talk to some people, only 5 of 10 persons know about it, but only 1 uses it.

It is safe to assume that not everyone knows about bitcoin. It’s been almost ten years but I think that its still in its baby age. I’ve been on the Internet for so long but it’s been recently that I’ve known of its existence. And this phenomena will continue on, I think. Even when it finally reach its peak popularity, there will always be people that will not know its existence. Not everybody is on the Internet, you know.

Bitcoin is not even hardly known to the mass public. Wait til everyone buys Bitcoin then the price will go through to roof. Wink

Yah I feel the same, even if large newspapers makes an article about bitccoin, I feel most people still miss it. I could ask anyone about bitcoin, and they would ask me what it is. The only people I know that knows about bitcoin, is people who I've taught them about bitcoin myself.

I do agree with that. I almost shit myself when I realized how big it increase nowadays not like before when I first heard of it. My friends don't have a single idea about it and when I tell them to try it and they though I am scamming them.lol

Just think about this. Everyone has a smartphone but very little of us are knowledgeable about circuits and how those little things work. But none of that really matters, as long as you know how to make use of something, then you're already alright.

In my place of work only one or two people knew about bitcoin, majority does not know anything about bitcoin, personally I have been in the forefront of enlightening and educating people around me what bitcoin is all about and I am convinced with all my efforts more people will know more about bitcoin I am imploring other members of this forum to do same so as to educate more people about bitcoin.

Good efforts, and yeah, people who say that Bitcoin is well known around the world certainly do not know what they are talking about. If you go on the street and ask someone about it, the answer will probably be that the person has never heard of it.
But people with an above-average level of knowledge, especially people who work in technology business, are more likely to know what you are talking about.
