The thing that stops people from using bitcoin is that they think its just a waste of time as it needs a lot of time understanding bitcoin and they probably think it has no future.
Yeah I Agree, my friends think that this is the waste of time, because i suggest to them start to the fauceting so that they know how hard to get money, so that if they know how hard, they dont waste their money in betting sites , but they cant waste their time here. They want easy money.

Maybe the price fall? Because I've seen alot of people(including me) who bought BTC with curiosity, but they were so scared when the price was dropping.

No one's bothered when the price rises, but if it falls, that's when people piss in their pants. Maybe that could be one of the reason?

that probably could be a reason of people's who stopped bitcoin. but let me say if people stopped bitcoin because of it's price ups and downs. it mean they don't aware of bitcoin completely. they don't know how the bitcoin's price works. and how to get profit.  If I were there place I would buy more and more. 

I've been in that place where I kept on buying and buying and holding.
I have a very bad luck that when I hold BTC, it falls and it rises when I don't have any or when I sell all.

you don't suppose to sell your bitcoin to lower price. if you bought bitcoins and then price falls down. then you should keep patient and wait for price increase. like now bitcoin price is good.
now buy again. this is the right time to buy and store bitcoin. if you bow now in next 2 or 3 months when halving come and done. you'll get lots of people.

It is now the governments are stopping their citizens from using bitcoin. Countries like Russia, Venzeulua and I even think some part in China since they are still under communist rule.
I would also think North Korea as they don't like western contact/influence.

Anyway bitcoin is using in Russia and other CIS countires, goverment can't stop people using bitcoin cause they can't know about it. Only you will come and tell them that you are bitcoin user, lol  Grin
Well it might be true that government is stopping some people from making use of bitcoin, like in Russia and the some of countries. So that might be what’s stopping people, but for me, if government will stop me from using bitcoin, I will stop them from digging minerals.

The fact that the reputation isn't exactly at its finest is what is keeping people from it. Nobody is going to want to occupy a currency which attracts criminals.

Nothing in the world can come even close to what damage fiat currencies have caused. But people are still using it. Bitcoin is not different from fiat currencies as it's getting used by all sorts of people for different purposes, but Bitcoin is the one that is being blamed for being used by criminals.

To add on to your last word, simply because Bitcoin is mostly advertised by people as being "anonymous". Hence ... people think only criminals use it. Yes, criminals does use Bitcoin but I believe (from my perspective), Bitcoin is being used by more legit reasons than illegal transaction.

That's true it depends on an individual how he views it, different people hold different perceptions towards bitcoin, and no one can change it.
Yeah but the point is that the anonymity of the currency is attacking more laundering.

If the price of the btc is at the low price and it didnt pump,
If the bitcoin is dead currency, many people will stop, but many people will try to pump it i think.

Quote from: JforJoker
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?

I think that lots of people don't know about bitcoin as the new currency and its new innovation, first I think that people are afraid to buy or invest in bitcoin because of its price, the price is unstable which is a risk for someone to invest, also it is the adoption, if people can't use bitcoin to buy things then why buying it (except for investing).

Criminals use fiat too, in fact fiat is used more by the criminals, but still we use fiat because its our necessity, this kind of discrimination is not good for the future of bitcoin.

luck of info and negative feedback coming from anti social media I think if people realized the real value and use of bitcoin they will embrace it for a change knowing that the value is just the same with there currency, bitcoin is all over the web now and soon to be all over the world as many people already knew it, it will be easy just needed some exposure.

What's stopping people from using bitcoin, you ask? The majority of people don't know what is bitcoin and they might as well never heard of it. People tend to fear the unknown, because the aren't informed about bitcoin, they fear that it's a scam or smth. Without proper knowledge about bitcoin, you'll never understand its advantages over fiat money. And because the majority  of people are too lazy to study bitcoin, then they just ignore it.
Yup the majority of the people dont know this but in this topic, i think the bitcoin user is the topic,
Why they should stopping people from using bitcoin? I think if the persons addicted in the betting and always lose he should stopped that bitcoin, because he never win, he should stopped this.
Exactly. Bitcoin is misused in many shady trading, like gambling, drugs, porn, laundry etc. The main media will always report the negative aspects and ruin the image of bitcoin. Bitcoin's use cases are far more than that, for the benefit of our daily life.

Nope, that is not the question. The question is 'What's stopping people from using bitcoin?', and not 'Why should they stop from using bitcoin'
