Topic: "Everyone already knows about bitcoin" no.. no they do not.. - page 21. (Read 14834 times)
Unfortunately most of the times bitcoin is in the news it's for some bad reasons like it was in ransomware news, hbo files being hacked and the hackers asking for money in bitcoin. Bitcoin has been in the news for sure but most of the times for some bad reasons and people generally form an opinion because of such news that it's something illegal or a ponzi. The number of people who have a good opinion about bitcoin and that of the ones who have a bad opinion is too big. For instance, while there are people who are fans of bitcoin and have made good money with it here where I live but the number of such people is very small compared to the ones who think it's a ponzi or something illegal and that's what is an obstacle in the growth of bitcoin and that should be changed
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.
Most people would have heard about bitcoins but most of them just think it as another scam project and they just reject it.They think that some day,very sooner it would collapse and it would be a loss for them to spend time in it.But still there are more people who have not even heard of bitcoins.So,when comparing with them,we too are early birds to have known about bitcoins.

Most people take their circle of people they know as the measure for the whole world. Of course if someone ever reached this forum, they probably know lots of informed people that probably will know something about btc.
And have heard of BTC is different from know about btc of course.
It is right that mostly people are deciding according to their own circumstances. I think mostly people are unaware of bitcoin. And have heard of BTC is different from know about btc of course.
Rare people would you find in your society who know about bitcoin and especially those people who are linked to internet and social media. Bitcoin has not yet been recognized across the world. I think bitcoin would got incredible rise in price when all the world become aware of bitcoin completely.
in our company which is consists of 10000 employees only 10 people knows about bitcoin, when you walk in the streets, you will never hear people talking about bitcoin,we also have an app wherein you can convert your cash to bitcoin, but people always neglects it, I believe that, here in this forum, we are only a small portion of the population, to us, it seems that we are growing since there are a lot of people joining in, however, it is but a small percentage. I think at this time, this is also an advantage for us all, since in the future, more and more people will ask about bitcoin and we already know what bitcoin is and what to expect, especially when it comes to income and its technology.

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 ?
There is still a chance that a technology lover doesn't know bitcoin because bitcoin is not that easy to know because if we will observe the internet, bitcoin is not yet spread like a virus so bitcoin is still in the process of getting recognized by the people in the world or internet. Bitcoin is just like a new weird word for most of the people but sooner they will understand what is bitcoin. Well I'm pretty sure anyone into technology and computers knows what Bitcoin is. How could you not ?

Almost everyone knows bitcoin, but the minority of people who use it, most of them do not understand what bitcoin.
I must agree with your statement, just take example in this forum, there is some people just using this forum to search ICOs or bounty thing to take profit from it, but they never know what are they really doing, how crypto works, keep complaining for any problem. People should be learn with their daily activity, don't need to be expert on it, just know the basic is okay.
Of course not everyone knows about bitcoin. No matter how popular we think bitcoin is but it still needs a lot of time to spread completely in the world. I personally never came up meeting a person knowing anything about bitcoin, nor i have ever seen a place where bitcoin is even written, so i don't think there is any progress around me atleast, and that makes me realize that bitcoin still needs a lot of time to reach many places in the world.
Many still lack the knowledge and the interest in bitcoin, so we're still a long way from the mass adoption that we've been wanting for so long. Most of us are not that open to trying new things that they have just heard of, they want solid proofs that will testify our claims about bitcoin before they go and try it for themselves. I get that a lot, I always tell my friend here in my are about bitcoin but they don't get interested in my story until I showed them proofs that I'm using bitcoin to purchase things that I want online and it has given me a decent amount of money.
I think if you talk to people in the 20 year range, most will have heard about it
Not sre about most girls though
If you on campuses a lot of people have heard of it

Exactly. Here in my country, most bitcoiners here are in the ages of 15 to 20+ years old. They are usually college students. Like they are the one's who is knowledgeable about bitcoin, maybe because the youth now is more expose in the internet and they are more techy. So when you ask them if they know bitcoin they will answer you quickly and you will be satisfied with the response that you get.
Maybe OP approach the wrong people that's why he stated this.
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.

Actually it's the same situation in my country here. Everytime i ask my friends or my colleague, most of them are don't know about bitcoin. Bitcoin is not very popular here, it's like only 0.1% of the population in my country or even less. We need to spread more and tell them about bitcoin.
Its not only that people do not know about bitcoin, its also the myths and wrong information people have about bitcoin, like many people think bitcoin is illegal, other think its a fraud, very few actually know about what it actually is.
Absolutely agree with the statement that there is too much misconception among the common people. When I was discussing Bitcoin with my friends and family members, the very first question they asked was 'I have heard that Bitcoin is banned and it is illegal, right?'. I explained them the fact and told them to have a look at the countries which made it legal. Bitcoin is not illegal but using it for banned/prohibited activities is illegal and that even applies to the fiat currencies.
We as individual Bitcoin users should take some efforts to build awareness about Bitcoin and clear the misconceptions among our circle.
Its not only that people do not know about bitcoin, its also the myths and wrong information people have about bitcoin, like many people think bitcoin is illegal, other think its a fraud, very few actually know about what it actually is.
That's crazy man. But why would they know unless and until they are told about it. It's like telling them about future machines do exists and of course they will go crazy about it.
Bitcoin is still in early stages of development and no one actually did its publicity or something like that. We also got to know about it from the internet when we were kids and were looking for how to earn money online. Lols.
Now not everybody is like us and not all of them are searching for ways to earn money from internet so they have less chances of hitting the bitcoin unless someone like us comes in their contact.

Many pupil heard for a bitcoin on tv but with very low amount of informations and because verylow informations very low amount of pupil are starting to use bitcoin.
From my country, I could say that only 5% to 10% of its population knows about bitcoin. And from that sample size, most of them think that it is a form of scam and is used in illegal transactions. I could say that our culture here doesn't readily accept change/new technology and they don't want to accept that such thing exists.
5% is a good number. In my country, I think that there is only 1% of the population know about bitcoin. And only 25% of those people know exactly what bitcoin is and what it can do to our life. Other only hear about bitcoin on the television or on the internet and do not give a damn care to bitcoin 
That's because our economy is running through real money. Another thing is that, it will be really better if there's not that much people who knew about cryptocurrency so that the value will be always high because the supply is low. Bitcoin mining here in my country is very popular. Some of the people here may know the word "bitcoin-mining" but doesn't really know what's the purpose of bitcoin mining.
