Majority of people are not aware about bitcoin, and people who knows it will hesitate in reinvesting if price falls back, so these are two major reasons people don't like to use it.

yeah, i agree with the idea that people dont like to use it because it is possible to lose a lot of bitcoins in just a few days so they are scared of investing to it in my opinion

though they also dont like the fact that it is used for illegal activities really often so they dont want to be involved in any stuff that is connected with it i think, though those are just my ideas

but mate if people have never heard about bitcoin then how can we expect that bitcoin is used for illegal activities, people can make that comment only if they know bitcoin properly.

I think that people think that Bitcoin is just to much work and do not even bother with using Bitcoin. Or they think that it is not that reliable and that it is not 100% trust worthy. I can understand why people think this.

I often hear the news on television that bitcoin is often used for illegal activities and if you invest in bitcoin possibility of losing very large. even your money could be reduced by more than 30% in one day. I saw it on tv.
probably because it was a lot of people do not trust to the bitcoin

pure negativity. the media is exactly the same as here. when they here cover bitcoin related news, it's always bad. bitcoin is the currency of the deep web and criminals. bitcoin is being used to finance terrorism. bla bla bla. the last 2 years it's only bad news that they release. the media is trying to brainwash people. other than that i really don't know why they do this.

i think if they see that bitcoin is scam maybe they are stopping to use bitcoin as money.. i just also heard it many times for some people here that ponzi schem or investment site is the reason why some people are stopping using it..

I think that makes people stop using bitcoin is they afraid at price very volatile.
Also bitcoin has too many negative news, like bitcoin is used for drugs, weapons, money laundry.

thats true, when people hear the news about the bitcoin on tv or read about it in newspapers they immediately start to think that it is used only for doing bad things

i think that also people are afraid of the big price fluctuations that sometimes makes people lose a lot of their money, though they should also understand that they can earn with it

First of tell me how many people around you have heard about bitcoin or how many of them know that bitcoin is a currency, I bet no one knows it and that is the reason they are not using it as simple as that.

no. volatility and negative news like the ones you mentioned shouldn't stop ordinary people from using bitcoin. most of the people that doesn't use bitcoin are either reluctant to use something that they don't understand or have no reason to use bitcoin.

i dont think there was a poeple who stop from using bitcoin,on this forum everybody love bitcoin,they never stop to using and hold bitcoin.
i think the only way people stop using bitcoin is because they have been rich and dont care anymore with bitcoin.

Let me add the people who got scam by most ponzi and HYIP out there that uses bitcoin they have also affect how people think about bitcoin.

True, but we cannot blame them...They are almost right at what they are thinking..The way to earn bitcoin is not easy, you really need to invest to have bigger amount so you could earn..Not to mention the bad publicity that they see and hear sometimes about bitcoin...

Absolutely sure. Anyone can stop using bitcoin because feels that bitcoin not longer worthy. But the price of bitcoin can increase or not depends from the user of bitcoin. We must make many effort together to reach that.

There is nothing 'stopping' people per se but at the end of the day why does the average person want or need to use it currently? It doesn't really benefit them in any way at the moment. It could in the future but not right now. People were also probably wondering the same thing about the internet or mobile phones when they first came out. Why aren't more people using them (at the time)? Because things take time but good ideas get adopted eventually they just take time to catch on with the public.

There are now many people stopping with Bitcoin because they are negative about the value of Bitcoin and that is quite logic because they want to make some profit soon.
And everyone wants that but they have to wait sometimes a long time and that can be bad.

If you can play well with bitcoin in trading then you can profit a lot if you are not good at it you will just abandon bitcoin and look for a more easy way to earn money.

Maybe the fact that bitcoin is digital currency! Psychologically people believe more in those things which they can touch. And also the fact that we do not have much options to use it.

That is very right. Although there are many ways to use it I guess people wants something that can be done in the worldly manner. I mean a trade that can be seen or be touched just like you said. They dont want something that is used blindly or a thing that is like in the air only.
