Bitcoin is much more complicated than fiat is.
I think it is the main reason why most people hav not tried bitcoin yet.

It is not that complicated if you are just a currency user. It is just like using a credit card or paypal. It will be complicated if you are a developer or at least a miner, you will have to deal with a lot of technicalities. But for normal user, it is just receive and send bitcoins. And we can just use online wallet.

That is correct using bitcoin is not complicated i think the people who are saying bitcoin is complicated they only make things complicated even it is not.
For me it is very convenient to use sending money, paying bills and receiving money for other users.

Maybe they are just too lazy to learn something new. And bitcoin is quite a new idea to them. They are not willing to embrace something that is new to them. But I think, if people will just give it even a little try, they will appreciate the good things that bitcoin offers to its users.

Actually there are many reasons why people stop using bitcoin. I often know that a person stops using bitcoin is because they are busy with real work so there is no time to use bitcoin again. Perhaps that was the reason that most people say.

I agree some people is getting bored with real jobs,because they must spend a part of their time to went to their office, and a lot of their time is wasted on the things that are not important.

thats true, my job is really boring to be honest and i would really like to work for bitcoins, in my opinion in this way we would attract a lot of people to bitcoins

It sure is; it was really complicated for me as well when i started. But that didn't actually stop me. I think people should have a motive if they want to start using Bitcoin. Some people don't exactly have time to think about it.

The main reason is that many people don't know about bitcoins. In some countries it is still illegal.And many think that it is only used for crime like drug dealing,human trafficking,hiring hitmen, etcetera coz deepweb sites like silk road(which was banned in 2013) only does business in bitcoins.
and you said people dont have time to think about bitcoin ? but its good to say that there are no more people to tell others about bitcoins.

As bitcoin is completely anonymous and decentralized more users think that bitcoin is used for illegal activities. On this basis people avoid it and stand away from it, though it has highest price than any other currency that have existed.

It is being used for illegal activities and that's correct, because terrorists know that this cannot be traced and they will surely use such a thing which can be helpful for their work. But illegal activities have nothing to do with user base, nobody is going to catch anyone here, so worrying about such cases and not joining bitcoins is being foolish.

A short but precise list:
-they don't know btc
-they're not paid in btc
-they can't pay what they need in btc
-nobody is using btc
-btc hasn't a stable price

I'd say it's enugh to explain it ^^

Yes you are right that are the possible reasons why people are stopping from using bitcoin. But of course the last reason,
bitcoin hasn't a stable price is for sure.
And we can't change it because it is a decentralized crypto currency.

I wanted today to eat at the restaurant here which accepts Bitcoin. It wasn't there anymore! That's what stopped me using Bitcoin today. And I probably never ever will get a chance to pay in a restaurant with Bitcoin.

I have the same intention with you but it's rarely to find a restaurant can accept bitcoin. every time I need to exchange my bitcoin before into fiat to buy some food. and I feel , it's very complicated for myself. sometimes I searching about that but just find a restaurant accepted bitcoin in foreign.

Well, I do not know how you guys actually feel since there's literally no restaurants here that accepts bitcoins just yet. I wait to see that the day comes when there is at least one restaurant that accepts bitcoins.

Fear and the unknown is what is stopping people from bitcoins. They fear because they do not know about it.

So what's the point there on the people who are getting bored with real jobs to bitcoin? They are also bored with bitcoin?
That's why they are just stop using bitcoin at all.

Bitcoin is not complicated if you spend some time in learning, what really bitcoin is ?? And the main that stopping people not to using bitcoin is that they don't know about bitcoin.

Yes, I also think that's the main reason for people not to use BTC on is they are not being familiar with Bitcoin more yet.. Once they become familiar with Bitcoin then they can use, I know it will be some difficult at beginning but believe me its’ fun and they will love it !

Yeah, you are right, the same problem was with me also, before when I was unaware with bitcoin, I did not preferred to adopt it, for me it was only credits or points and its conversion to money was looking as impossible, so I preferred to stay away from it.

It should be told as non time consuming investment so that this people will have a better look at it. They think it will be another work that takes a long time and that is the wrong idea which prevented them from knowing it.

In my opinion, maybe because the price is fluctuating. So, they fear that if the price drops drastically.

Indeed. One of the possible reason is the fear to volatility of bitcoin. Some find it uncomfortable to put their money a coin that is not so stable enought and might had a chance to lose their coins.

Yeah true, one of my friends whom when I told about bitcoins said that ok he is fine with taking bitcoins ( I actually bought some online item from him ) but he claimed me as scammed when price dropped Sad

, though I later gave him extra to make him happy.

We can't blame people if they can't really use bitcoin easily there are people who can easily adopt or fast learners.
And there are some who are slow learners.
So I understand those people that are experiencing that way.

I own a restaurant but i know no one or almost no one has any information about bitcoin, this is isane there are 50.000 people where i live and no one knows about bitcoin, or has it. Soo i cant try it but i had thinked to put the symbol of bitcoin and saying we accept bitcoin, to make people research about it.

I just wanted to do the Real Thing. Paying by CC is paying by CC.

But to fund it you didn't put cash on it, instead of that you loaded your bitcoin debit card with bitcoin which i doubt anyone would ever think about this.
P.S I was thinking that people have stopped using bitcoin maybe because of the holidays time this month until September or so.

I guess it's a good thing that there are many companies that sell BTC debit cards like for example: spectrocoin, right?
