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 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.

If you are really passionate by paying only by bitcoin then you have other chances like paying with bitcoin debit cards, it takes some little fees but if the amount is big the fees wouldn't be an issue.
From the recent mined blocks I see that the number of transaction has been decreased too much which means that people are waiting for bitcoin to reach the moon.

The main problem is that people just don't even know what bitcoin is and how to use it, many people think that it's a scam or something else without any sense.

yeah a lot of people think bitcoin is an MLM business or something. Sometimes I feel angry when one of the big MLM using bitcoin to advertise

See, people will find good and bad uses of any asset, they are getting introduced with. The main thing is how we represent bitcoins to a new user, if represented properly and in an unique way then surely it will have an impact on him/her and hence they will start using bitcoins.

Probably the reason behind not using bitcoin can be the lack of understanding of the technology. Many people will think bitcoin is illegal if they come to know that it can be mined through a computer program...

Those who are not tech savy they will have problem understanding the logic behind bitcoin. That's the main constraint.

I feel that we are also responsible for stopping people from using or earning bitcoins as we don't want that everyone around us should start earning bitcoins and should know about bitcoins, we don't introduce them to bitcoins in a proper way, may be our selfish nature or whatever it may be, on one hand we say that more and more people should get into bitcoins and on other hand we don't want that should be aware what we are earning...

Yeah,but the thing is that im pretty sure,that not many people here
can really understand the mechanism of bitcoin,actually i cannot,i just know how it works but im not 100% accurate.

well I guess most of the people don't understand how bitcoins work though I don't think that it is that bad, in my opinion media has a much bigger bad impact on bitcoin users because people believe in it

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

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 !

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.

I'm wondering what's stopping people from using bitcoin?

And now I'm talking about people who already aware of bitcoin and how it works but still not using it.

There can be many reasons for that. For example, Bitcoin can be simply illegal in some countries. Or there can be no suitable infrastructure for using BTC

I believe it's mostly people who are hearing things from the media who are preferring not to use bitcoin because of the negative news

The media have a negative impact on bitcoin's PR. Most of the time it's about bitcoin associated with drugs deals and criminals.
That's bad, there is more to bitcoin then that.

thats true, i think media is one of the biggest things that make people not use their bitcoins or even not to start with it, it is definitely better to just ignore them and thats it

nope i think although media reported that bitcoin is an illegal currency or etc you should know that modern societies are not simply trust the media certainly they will find out what is bitcoin first and prove by themself and I had the evidence I heard bitcoin of bad news which is done by the media. but this is precisely the moment I joined in bitcoin?

What is stopping people from using the bitcoin is mostly that it has a good future but the worth is not good.
Another thing is that people do not want to take the risks because you can lose money due to the worth.

yeah they think that bitcoin is very risky so they do not dare to invest in bitcoin yeah I know that the frequent fluctuations in bitcoin but that's a risk
in the investment? if you do not dare took that risk better shut up because I'm currently getting a lot of benefit from fluctuations and bitcoin Cheesy

if you dont want risks then dont try for risky investments, do some online tasks that you may know or earn from signature campaign.

The volatility of the price. If the price is not steady, we will not hold and use bitcoin as we do not know the purchasing power tomorrow.

Yes you are probably right. It is so hard for someone to put or convert their money to a currency that is very volatile and whose value changes very fast. We all know that bitcoin is one of those currencies. Why would someone use that kind of currency if there are currencies whose value is steady. They won't wake up one day that the value of money is only 10% of their original money.

So after reading this article and especially the ending:

Quote

One thing is for certain: having made Bitcoin less of a security worry, transparency will now be key in attracting users to new models, placing control of funds and fees in an upfront way in their own hands.

I'm wondering what's stopping people from using bitcoin?

And now I'm talking about people who already aware of bitcoin and how it works but still not using it.

The price is now pretty much stable for more then a year, security issues are out of the question - so why we can't see in 2015 more companies switching to it, especially considering the unstable condition of moden economy?

One reason why people stop earning Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency online is because they know how hard it is. Maybe they feel so safe when they started to earn BTC but as the time goes by, they encountered scammers. And yet they feel they are now unsafe. So there are chances that they will stop earning bitcoin, or change their style of earning. For example, if they earn through Ponzi Websites, they will transfer it on gambling sites, or vice-versa. Some other people tend to earn thru faucets even thou they earn little by little, in exchange for their safeness and security.
