Many reasons behind people not using bitcoin at a moment, and I think they are not that knowledgeable about bitcoin and they have hesitation to invest in something that is really new to them.

actually people just love to innovation with new things. why they do not join with bitcoin?
perhaps because they do not know what is bitcoin? so they have not yet joined

I think they are thinking the bitcoin is just a investment and you cannot pay things with it plus I think they are scared to invest in it, do not want to risk their money.
Most likely these will be the reason why they won't invest.

True. Some are accepting now although not a lot it is a good start. Yes it should be for online shopping also, it is an online money so that is the better way to use it right?

People are eager for new things but bitcoin got a bad name because of the media. It's wrong but that's the way it is.
I guess bitcoin needs to proof itself once again.

Well, but the media has attracted more 'bad people' to use Bitcoin since they give a 'bad name' to our Bitcoin. There is no need for Bitcoin to prove itself, people just need to use their brain and don't trust every piece of the media words.

+1 for this, all the news about bitcoin only elaborate about scam, ponzi, and crime. not the good side of it and people who never use it believe what those media wrote..

Yeah those media are really trying to put down bitcoin but they will have to do a better job and bring up also the good news that bitcoin can bring to the economy.

the trend has been changing lately it is not like before any more, especially in other countries except USA.
the media and the government has been more accepting towards bitcoin in some countries for example Japan is considering announcing bitcoin as a real currency.

Over here in the UK the government has announced they're keeping their hands off of regulation for the time being, the chancellor has indicated his support, the BOE is busy researching and creating their own s**tcoin, RScoin...

All in all, it's a pretty good time to be involved, as the banks are actually trying to compete now, rather than sitting back and laughing at us. Makes it much more fun :-)

You are right, media had made a bad concept in people's mind about bitcoin that it is not good used by criminals this and that, and i think now bitcoin need some time to prove itself to the world, and the world should also give it some time to prove itself and become more popular then usual, and it will do it, people will surely start using it once it comes out in countries and accepted by some places.

People are lazy and they most likely think bitcoin is hard to use and full of math. Also they may think they missed the boat and people hate being late adapters to any cool new thingy. The media has done a good ass raping of bitcoin and thats not going to help,when you combine banks closing accounts over bitcoin transactions going to their account.

You are definitely right. I experienced this thing about "missing the boat". A friend of mine that I am urging to use bitcoin as an investment says it is like too late for him. I always tell him that there is no such thing as late in bitcoin. We dont know what could happen in the upcoming days or weeks.

bitcoin actually people do not use because they do not have more information about bitcoin. so they have not yet joined it were not for stupid. but do not yet know about bitcoin

They are not so much lazy but overall they are scared, because it is new And it involves money. Whenever there is money involved people are taking precautions. but in this case
they wait for bitcoin getting more usage.

Yeah and lack of knowledge is also an major concern here as people who dont know what bitcoin is will never invest their money into it as they have fear of loosing their money.

The bigger bitcoin gets and the more people that have it. That will really decrease the market volatility
