Even after Ten years still Bitcoin is used by Geeks and majority of common citizens doesn't seems to use Bitcoin as a currency or even for trading purposes and I think this situation has occurred because still it is not approachable and that is because even it has all the features for a proper usability majority of people doesn't see Bitcoin as an usable currency for anyone who has basic technical knowledge which is not true but in order to change this situation and make Bitcoin more approachable to common people how its path should change in the future both technically and socially to convince it is a currency for everyone
The easiest way is make bitcoin adopted by e-commerce industry but in that industries is too afraid to accept bitcoin because of the fluctuation price. In one side it can make their transactions easier amd faster but the other side they have to always convert the bitcoin to the fiat too safe the value from volatility. So the biggest problem for now is the volatility.

We can't blame other people who don't believe in Bitcoin and its purposes because of the negative news published in the media. Furthermore, other people just wan't the easy way to spend money since they are earning fiat, paid in fiat so expect them to spend in fiat. But for those who get paid in Bitcoin, ofcourse they will spend it, use it and trade it. 
With marketing, when we offer our professional services, whether in our jobs as Ing, Dr, whatever we do, it is good to give the option to accept bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, to the owners of establishments can implement this mode of payment, because the user common purchase goods and services, that is the way to expand it.
from many people in this world, perhaps only 35% are using, using and knowing about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency so that wanting to make bitcoin one of the international transaction tools is still a lot of homework to be repaired but we cannot deny that bitcoin growth is wrong one of the drivers of the world economy at this time, and the digital era that supports the various needs of everyday life will be one of the supporting factors for bitcoin to be known to many people in this world
Despite all the awareness created regarding bitcoin, people still have diverse opinions on the digital currency. Most individuals are still adamant about not accepting it as a form of currency. I believe it has been made most approachable to common users through every means possible.
Until it becomes globally accepted and recognized, the acceptance of the digital coin will still be a thing of choice.

It isn't yet used massively because:
1) It's not just technology but it's also value: it'is still too volatile
2) The number of userfrendly platforms is still low
3) A certain physiological time is needed for a technology to reach the mass .. as it was for the internet
It seems every year more and more people have heard of bitcoin at least once in the news. It's this casual observer that can be converted into a regular bitcoin user. Most of the time they have no idea how a blockchain work so it's best to not bombard them immediately with complicated terms.
Simple analogies are best. What I tell people is that buying bitcoins is like buying say, dollars, and then having the option to keep that to wait for a better price or trading the dollar with someone without having to convert it to the local currency first.

People don't want a complicated stuff like bitcoins, cryptocurrency, blockchain. The fiat can be used by everyone as long as you know a simple math and you know the numbers most of the people will choose the fiat over some complicated stuff... What I'm saying is that it would be hard for us to promote or to encourage others to use crypto's or bitcoin since like what you've said it needs to have a technical knowledge.
Another thing in order to have access to cryptos or bitcoin you needed to have a gadget (mobile phone as an example) and an internet which not all people have. It would be more approachable to common users if all of them have a bitcoin wallet on their phones and explain them that the bitcoin is just some kind of load balance that you can pay to others by transferring it to their wallet.
In other words avoid using technical stuff and explain it to them in a very understandable way.

BTC and other cryptos to be taken on indistinguishable dimensions from fiat, you need more reception from commercial center. In the event that the stores dont acknowledge bitcoins, the odds are exceptionally low that an individual would even consider utilizing Bitcoin as an every day reason cash. For a typical native, this is not important to know the specialized part of the money.
Simply the nuts and bolts on the best way to utilize it and where to store it should get the job done. Likewise another worry is the accessibility of trades and the simplicity of changing over fiat to Cryptocurrency. Despite everything I get solicited a great deal from inquiries on where to purchase Bitcoins and how to exchange. We are taking forward gradually for higher reception, yet it will take any longer to pick up notoriety and simple entry over the business sectors.

I think bitcoin growth is already on a good track, for now there are nothing much can be bought using bitcoin because a lot of countries still in research phase, the adoption is still slow, when the legalisation already took place then we xan see all people will start to used bitcoin, for the one tgat understand and want to learn, they will know that bitcoin is for all level of society
Bitcoin is still in its early stages so normally, adoption is slow. People are still weighing on whether it can be trusted or not especially with everything that happened in 2017 and 2018. And it's minimum requirements are pretty much accessible to the normal person so i don't think there'll be any problems with that.
To be honest it is so easy to use ,
Just look for a bitcoin wallet put some money on it then pay for who ever you want to pay,
Just easy as that it is just an online money a crypto currency what else do you need to know to use it?
You don't have to be a geek just to use it there are plenty of easy to use Bitcoin wallet out there.

I disagree, bitcoin is very easy to use the wallets are installed in the same way that you could install any software and you can send your coins by just copy and pasting, it cannot get any easier than that, the main difference with any other piece of software is that due to the decentralized nature of bitcoin you are the one that needs to make sure that you downloaded the wallet from the right site and that you are keeping a backup of your private keys and your seed.Also you need to make sure your computer is virus free, that is definitely a problem for most people since they do not take their digital security seriously but that is something that needs to change and it is not the fault of bitcoin that people do not do that.
In my honest opinion, to make it more approachable / understandable bitcoin must have a some sort of educational ads on mainstream TV. It need more exposure I guess , maybe also introduce bitcoin during school (around gradeschool) . People fear what they dont know , that is why some people stay away from bitcoin. So yeah , guess what I mentioned would be a good start.
Most people don't have much use for it though, everything they can do with bitcoins they can currently do with fiat. We can of course market it as an investment but then they might miss the point of it being a currency and they might permanently exit if they suffer a huge enough loss.
True. I've been hearing about bitcoins for years and only really got into it after seeing some friends and family members doing it. If it wasn't for bubbles they themselves might not have entered.
people should stop expecting bitcoin to be as simple and convenient as swiping a credit card. it's not just a payment method; it's a monetary system with built-in storage/banking, and a payment method all in one. that requires a nuanced economic design, including decentralized (inefficient and cumbersome) relay and validation. not many people but geeks can appreciate its beauty and utility---it takes price bubbles for most people to realize it might be important.
we already have sleek desktop/mobile wallets and hardware wallets that are user-friendly. what may help is the lightning network bringing faster and cheaper payments to users. right now, it's really only recommended for tech savvy users.
at the end of the day, most people aren't interested in alternative forms of money. many people won't bother until it starts becoming the norm.

I can suggest 2 ways, 1) Prepaid Card that can convert crypto - so that people can use those cards as regular debit cards. 2) more and more merchant acceptance.
some people are homophobic and believe little about anything that involve online currency. In my country, having a mobile wallet containing bitcoin might get you in trouble if police see it because they may tag as online fraudster not to talk about acceptance locally. this is because of the ill information many people have about crypto. crypto still a long way to go for further adoption globally. millions of people globally still not have access to internet not to talk about making crypto more accepted by common people in the society.

To reach ordinary people we need meetings to talk about it as one of the general discussions, where we give our own opinions and receive it. Also, governments must accept it and recognize it as a legal currency.
For everyday users it needs to be on the apple iphone and given the apple simplification treatment. Being on the square cash app is a good start, let's see what else they allow
According to my opinion to make Bitcoin more friendly to common users are to give the accurate ideas about the advantages of using Bitcoin .to be more approachable to common users is to be usable as a day to day use to purchase goods like using fiat money but this is not applicable with Bitcoin .Since Bitcoin can not be carried in our wallet like fiat money it is kept in computerized internet it is a digital decentralized currency .one of the unfriendly is felt because in some countries the government considers Bitcoin as an asset and if converted to cash is taxable ..
