Topic: Who are the next adopters? (Read 4324 times)
For me its clear that the next batch adopters will be young people active in social media, they will realize that to receive payments for their social media shenanigans it's clearly better to use BTC. The occasional irl merchant will follow as well.
Humans and robots.
this is a really good question. I don't know. I think the next adopters would completely depend on the first killer app based on bitcoin. Whatever area that killer app is in, that's the people it'll bring in.
Yeah, I was thinking something similar. There needs to be an app or something that makes bitcoin easy and accessible for the non-techie users out there.Kinda like Circle for example, but better.
well i dont know but would be good if supermarkets and online stores like amazon started accepting it 
would be cool to buy stuff with bitcoin
would be cool to buy stuff with bitcoinYou need to buy some product on Amazon? You should try https://purse.io/
In my country there are supermarket which support bitcoin, they use it for top up, you can check this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/project-bitcoin-island-bali-indonesia-567458 a lot merchant accept bitcoin in Bali.

If we take all internet users as a target market for Bitcoin, we are in the early adopter stage ,this same type of discussion was happening about facebook/myspace when when social media began. "Why would I want this?" and see now as we are 
I think there will be a greater adoption from people living in countries with relatively weak or unstable currencies / developing nations. The black market would be another, but I think it has already been adopted there.
I think it is already happening, I have read that BTC popularity in Venezuela has grown a lot because of the high inflation rates they face.
I would go with kids as an alternative to purchase stuff without needing a credit/debit card or asking their parents for it. Maybe for bad things, though.
It is already happening. Countries in Asia like the Philippines and Indonesia seem to be adopting bitcoin, and they have lower regulatory implications. Cambodia would be another great spot for bitcoin. It's the only place that I've traveled to where they would rather take USD than their national currency.
Yeah it would be great for source of income for young kids that are tech savvy, that could potentially make bitcoin online while they're still not able to work legally.
imho porn and gaming industry - basically two of the top web users these days.
*porn because of anonymity, convince and fast adoption of new technologies.
*games because of raising e-sport (streaming, tournaments) and possible replacement of premium content and tokens with bitcoin
general public will start adoption, once it will be really popular on web and integrated almost everywhere.

Maybe famous people, it will bring a lot people/the fans.
It will big, but its usefulness is not good.
I hope more country will using/make it legal. There are some country which make it a legal and make it an illegal.
hmm how about..... porn artists and whole people in the industry?

I hope not criminal. I hope to see big businesses accept bitcoin. Then we can see government using bitcoin near future.

Right now it's still in the early development phase where geeks and futurists are taking interest and others will just see BTC as an investing tool. Luckily with the reach of the internet this thing has potential to everyone uses it' in just few years time.

Porn industry and their clients.
This is probably correct. There was an article written a few months ago that discussed how high of fees payment processors charge producers of porn, it was ridiculous. It talked about a specific couple's experience with various sites and how they went from site to site, each time finding a site that gave them more of their revenue. I believe before they starting accepting bitcoin they would be paying over 30% of their sales to the site/payment processor Just imagine the huge amount of transactions this would generate.. Especially from those that rather not charge their credit card with porn..
Brazil and south american markets maybe, numbers are showing growth and they have a need for solid currency.
Yea I get a lot traffic on youtube and my sites from Brazil but also from central Asia.
These could be the next adopters.
third world countries really need something like bitcoin. it would be a logical step for them to adopt bitcoin as it is basically a bank in your pocket without the need to open a bank account.

i think next is bussiness company next is employer..
black market is the first adopters for anonymous transaction..

Chinese traders. Again. 
International travelers if we could just get a Bitcoin ATM in every major International Airport.
