There is no much places where you can use bitcoin. People should first buy and than use it for purchasing everyday life needs, which is bit complicated. If people would receive salary in bitcoin then they could use it without any additional moves.
Majority as you noticed is not to much interested in using bitcoin as a currency because they don't want to think to much about paying service, they just want to get it done. And with bitcoin it still isn't possible.
Topic: How to make Bitcoin more approachable to common users - page 5. (Read 1132 times)
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
From my point of view in order to show a commoners how to use bitcoin we just have to show them a practical approach on its usage as currency and as store of value rather than verbal approach to change this worrisome situations, its technicality is somehow cumbersome however with the introduction of latest Cryptos wallets apps its becoming more easier to explain to a newbie and it will bring cryptos enthusiasts. Do not worry about making it approachable to common users, they will come eventually. They were even here even when they know nothing about bitcoin, its the returns that will make them wanna come into crypto. If they wanna be involved, they will take into considerable as to how to technology works and what are necessary things to know like trading and to own some coins.
You will not change the technology of bitcoin blockchain and its use for social and technical purposes is impossible. Bitcoin is a digital currency that's all. To use it do not have to be stupid and specifically something to learn - and so it is available to all who want to buy it.
If you want to say that ordinary people do not understand how blockchain technology works, then you just need to read the literature and learn programming, but not everyone is capable of it.
Yes people are now investing having faith for bitcoin and they are sure about increasing value so it will not take much effort to make people use it all over the world. I am happy in my area people really like bitcoin and they are agree to take risk for better life, we should only guide those who are new so if they will find using bitcoin easy they will approach it again and again. If you want to say that ordinary people do not understand how blockchain technology works, then you just need to read the literature and learn programming, but not everyone is capable of it.
Bitcoin is not as difficult to use as many payment processors. If you can use the centralized ones why not Bitcoin. There are couple of Bitcoin wallets with very simple interface.
Centralized payment processors would demand kyc before linking to your bank account... Owning Bitcoin doesnt require these things.

You should actually change your topic to this " How to make Bitcoin more approachable to stupid users " because most common/normal people are already using Bitcoin. The stupid people are pointing fingers and laughing at the people who are buying bitcoins, because they do not understand the technology. 
i don't think we're even close to most people already using bitcoin. i'd be surprised if even 5-10% owned crypto in developed countries, and i would expect much less in undeveloped countries.
perhaps most people have heard of bitcoin, but that's about it. anecdotally, i've only met two people IRL who use bitcoin (and they really only invest or trade). they're both millennials. of the dozens of other people in my life---no one.
i think lots of older folks in particular are intimidated by the technology.
You might have misinterpreted what I meant with "common" because I should have used my own description for it. By common, I mean the average Joe on the street. I am just trying to group the average person in a group that are separate from the totally clueless people out there. Those people who do not have the IQ or the drive to experiment with something new.
The people who follow like sheep and those people who place all their trust in their own government and their failing fiat currency.
To make bitcoin more approachble to common people is to educate people about the whole cryptocurrency scene, what cryptocurrency is, how does cryptocurrency works, its pros and cons,how to earn cryptocurrency. Unless people know more about bitcoin people won't be very much open to the use of bitcoin.

Compare to the past few years, bitcoin has continuously increasing its popularity and we can say that even common citizens uses bitcoin nowadays. Its just that, there's still a whole lot of people who doesn't know about bitcoin yet and I don't think that ten years is enough for the majority to adopt it. Bitcoin will become more popular in the future, and I am sure that many business and company will accept bitcoin. But right now, not all country accepted bitcoin, and if we can count in a big city, there are only a few offline stores that accepted bitcoin too. But when they see the big opportunity from bitcoin, soon they will accept bitcoin as the second or even the primary payment method. Bitcoin can change the people view about payment system and bitcoin will reach more people to join.

We use bitcoini only for trade or investment. if we start making payments with bitcoin in our daily life, Then everything will change. Bitcoin is definitely the Gold of this age. When the time comes, everyone will see that.
In our country, you will be able to use Bitcoin in your daily life.
That is true but don't expect that people will know it since we are talking about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies here. I am saying this using the popular exchange in our country, coins.ph, but you can't really use Bitcoin to pay on markets, some places do accept Bitcoin but most of the places don't. Even though Bitcoin is legalized in our country, I don't think even one-fourth of our population knows or uses Bitcoin in their lives.
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.
Definitely yes! Bitcoin is not just a simple means of payment. We can make anything using bitcoin. In fact, it may be a combination of fiat, credit cards and virtual money. We can spend our bitcoin directly (near or abroad). Bitcoin already changed the payment method, however most of us do not want it to be used because of ignorance and fear that we lose our money. People use bitcoin not only to send money but it can be a storage of asset and source of income. There are many things we can do in bitcoin and it was invented for us to have convenience.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.
So, we should recommend it to every people around us and teach them that bitcoin is not a scam, it is the future of currency.
We use bitcoini only for trade or investment. if we start making payments with bitcoin in our daily life, Then everything will change. Bitcoin is definitely the Gold of this age. When the time comes, everyone will see that.
Absolutely right, I think humans are still a curious people. they will try whatever they think is interesting, and when a lot of people around them use bitcoin for payments in several stores, many people will definitely be interested in knowing more, this should also be helped by the many merchants that accept bitcoin 
Bitcoin may seem too complicated for ordinary people. Moreover, even some people who are in the field of crypto still do not fully understand bitcoin. therefore, we need more information that will explain in simple language what bitcoin and crypto are in general.
There’s so many bitcoin atm machine now around the world, many good exchanges so i think its enough to encourage people to invest on bitcoin and its more convenient now for us to own bitcoin. Its the choice of people to buy or not after all, its hard to force them.
The blockchain technology that brought bitcoin into reality is finding its way to mainstream adoption. Bitcoin is at a very young age of 10 years old. Though the expectations are high at first, and then slowly losing momentum due to the bearish year 2018. But, now 2019 the community of cryptocurrency seem positive, a lot of expectations for the application of blockchain technology. These applications might pave the way to go mainstream. Without significant application, rough road awaits to bitcoin.
I guess this matter is on process now. The experts are making the way to this to make a lot more people to be more in contact with crypto currencies in the most easiest way for them to find the Bitcoin more approachable to common users.
I think it will be a natural process. The number of people using bitcoin will increase each time and thus bitcoin will be popularized. Sooner or later we will come to the fact that bitcoin will be used everywhere.
Positive and negative insights were very common in crypto, thus many were still doubting of its existence and filled with negative thoughts but they'll never knew the reason behind of its creation. WE understand that and we can't push them neither just to adopt crypto. Giving them time to understand will just an option in order fully accept the reality about crypto and could eliminate their doubts.

Currently, bitcoin has begun to be known by more and more people. every year there is a significant growth of bitcoin users. this is proof that bitcoin is in great demand. in order to become a recognized currency it needs a long process. Bitcoin prices that have such a large fluctuation are the reason why Bitcoin has yet to get regulation from the government. it may take several years to reach the phase when bitcoin can be used legally in various financial transactions in the world. . 
We use bitcoini only for trade or investment. if we start making payments with bitcoin in our daily life, Then everything will change. Bitcoin is definitely the Gold of this age. When the time comes, everyone will see that.
Most of us used bitcoin for investing, trading and gambling but i know we also used bitcoin to pay for our bills online and its a good thing since there’s a new partnership everyday with other companies who are willing to accept bitcoin. Yes it will grow more if they realize bitcoin is so much good for us. Jump to:
