Then you're stupid to believe it!
Bitcoin is only as strong as the people who use it. That's also why it's so strong. Those people who were saying that at the bar were probably sooo drunk tho.
Topic: People Are Just Too Stupid to Use Bitcoin Right Now - page 2. (Read 13434 times)
i think that might be the case why not so many people use bitcoins right now, though we cannot do anything about it in my opinion, people themselves have to change
The average person find bitcoin too complicated and well yeah we can't blame them honestly.
The hashes makes it not real as cash money is which is why a lot of people are giving up after a few tries. If this will not change, adoption will wait a long time.
I often hear people around me saying "If I can't hold it in my hands, it's not real money". They however forget that the majority of their transactions happen with internet banking where the money they have on their bank accounts are just a few numbers on their screen, untill they withdraw them via an ATM. Quite ironic, isn't it?

I don't think that many people actually understand the concept of bitcoin or realise the potential of bitcoin either. However, there are plenty of geek out there who are willingly using bitcoin.
well to be honest you are right but i think it is really easy to use bitcoins and you dont need to understand it to use bitcoins as money only

When are we gonna get hardware wallets in our phones? That would greatly accelerate adoption.
You can get it through play store and find some wallets BTC already believed, after the download, install, and use. Everyone using bitcoin is someone who is very lucky, because in the future it will give you the advantage of bitcoin. Survivors wait my friend
Bitcoin is too user unfriendly in its present form. Webwallets and payment services will change that, look how far coinbase has come in popularizing bitcoin (because it's relatively simple to use). Security is the other half. Bitcoin is too permanent for the average user, once it's gone, it's gone.
One story about someone's retirement wallet getting emptied by hackers, and the msm will be all over it.

I agree that Coinbase makes things easier, but at the same time giving a company like Coinbase control of your bitcoins defeats a large part of the purpose of bitcoin.
But still coinbase did a good thing. Proof is look at the users wallet id's here. I would like 70 percent of people here are using it. And this company takes it to the higher level.

I don't think we can call them stupid for not using Bitcoin.. it's their choice, their money. Most of the people I have asked (I mean all of them) about Bitcoin didn't know a single thing about it, so I had to tell the same story tens of times for them to find out about it, and since they heard the benefits I told them, they are using Bitcoin too. We can't call them stupid for not knowing what Bitcoin is. We just need a guy here to create some addictive thing like Pokemon GO about Bitcoins, so people will download it, find about Bitcoin and the number of people using BTC will skyrocket.

Nothing strange that people are afraid that's new and their minds are too narrow to use bitcoins instead of fiat money. However I believe that bitcoins will be main currency for the future generations.
Yup, I also experienced it when you first get to know and hear the words of the Bitcoin. But after I grew to learn my bitcoin, greatly helped by the emergence of the bitcoin. Because life is getting better and will get better. All of this is something my luck has been given to God for me. Yeah it is my hope and I hope it will be realized as soon as possible
I won't use the word stupid, I think they just don't know the benefits and do not really see a need to for it. I mean why use something invisible when I can use something visible, the exchange fees of buying bitcoins (some as high as 20%) makes others draw back and look for alternative means of sending money abroad like Skrill, Neteller and the likes.
i think every one has their own choice. either they want to hold their bitcion or use it. so we can no concern with that. therefore it is not good to call them stupid. but we can only suggest them that the present time is the best time holding the bitcoin.

I am not sure what is going on and why people are spending there Bitcoin maybe they like to spend it and they make full use of it as a currency instead of investment.
i am using it as an investment so at the moment I am holding on to my Bitcoin.

and you will never understand what is going on until you yourself start using bitcoin as a currency too.
that is when you can realize the difference between using fiat and using bitcoin. for example when you used bitcoin instead of using paypal to pay for a digital good like a subscription then you can really appreciate the usage of bitcoin.
Correcy. Also with sending money to another country. Other money transfer company charge so much because it is overseas but bitcoin dont do that. It will be the same as how you send near or far.

actually i think there is no stupidity involved in bitcoin not using bitcoin. the fact is that they don't have to use bitcoin because they are satisfied with fiat right now and don't care for a change.
besides using bitcoin may be better in many cases but it certainly not easy to use by regular Joe and on top of that there is no place they can use bitcoin.
yes that is not good to call them stupid because they are the owner of their own bitcoin and they have the right to use it or to hold it. but we can only suggest them to hold it for some time. because it is expected that the price of bitcoin will increase in next some days. besides using bitcoin may be better in many cases but it certainly not easy to use by regular Joe and on top of that there is no place they can use bitcoin.
I think that it's doesn't matter when to use bitcoin, but better to get as much experience as possible to start making good money from it, but it's all depends on your intentions.
I think there are still many people who lack the experience to use bitcoin. perhaps they think that bitcoin is a kind of token that is used for gambling, yah I also initially thought like that. but I do not give in to learn it and it was very easy. I guess they did not want to use bitcoin because maybe they think are the risks in using it, whereas using bitcoin very profitable 
"People are just too stupid to use bitcoin right now,” I overheard someone argue at a bar a few weeks ago as we were discussing the potential of cryptocurrency. “Society’s understanding of where money comes from is the real challenge.

Well, that person should be thankful that I am not there beside him because if I was there, I won't just keep my mouth shut. Those people who says that are those people who knows nothing about bitcoins. They don't know its importance and value. When the time comes that bitcoin is widely used in all over the world, I will mock those people who belittle the value of bitcoins and its users. Bitcoin is not an essential part of my everyday life.
