nerds, hackers, terrorists, speculators at the moment


bankers are slowly moving in....
i doubt terrorists are using bitcoin, its like putting all your financial records out in public for everyone to see, you just have to find em. and im pretty sure NSA has the technology to find these kind of transactions.

Who really uses bitcoin- Ordinay folk like me, use btc to pay bills, buy prepaid cellphone loads, ordering stuff online, online gambling and change to fiat when in need.

Who is the typical bitcoin user- One who has knowledge about crypto, how it works and benefit the system.

Why does it matter- For bitcoin to grow, it needs mainstream adoption.

BTC won't be adopted; it's fishy, not regulated, slow and so on.

The people likes regulations, safety, etc. BTC will remain for speculative trading, dark markets.
It has no advantage over any traditional payment systems like debit/credit cards/bank wires and payment processors like Paypal.

It's just "trendy" for now. Nothing more.

The trend is for regulation(see the exchangers who are looking for licenses which means AML, KYC and GOVs rules in the end) and this will be the end of Bitcoin. Why? Because the dark market( over 85% from BTC) will leave this e-currency when it will be "regulated".

yeah no advantages, like low fee, privacy, not-hackable while you spent a transaction, sure...

with fiat if you leave your credid card credentials on some website they can still all your funds, with bitcoin it's impossible

well, I may agree with you IF:

- the debit/credit cards have ZERO fees for purchasing online and offline.
- i would not read news regarding to hacking of the Bitcoin wallets  all the time..
- i have to remember you the BTC wallets hacking is not a news anymore on the Bitcoin's market. It's a habit. everyday, a lot of wallets are hacked.

so, tell me one advantage of using Bitcoin against traditional payment systems. do not tell me about privacy because it does not exist anymore. all the exchangers requires papers.

I like how you're thinking. Smiley Not all people like being controlled and be fed up with BS by the government. Believe me, once the general public is fed up too and the dollar collapses, they would see bitcoin as a safe haven for their assets  Wink

Paranoid people would never trust and use Bitcoin.
Also people do not have basic understand of economy would stay away from bitcoin.
These are my guesses.
And software engineers would definitely use bitcoin.

Who doesn't use it? and why does it matter?
According to popular belief of public opinion bitcoin is used by terrorists, anarchists, conspiracy theorists and crooked criminals who want to lurk under radar of authorities.
Law abiding citizens should not associate with bitcoin at all. Why am I using it? Because I don't give a damns about idiotic political correctness of the mass media.

That's a long list with many names in it. The list ranges from teenagers(who find it troublesome to have a bank account), tech savvy people, merchants, people involved in black markets.
Nonetheless, I still think that there are many many normal people like you and me use bitcoin for the sole purpose of using it like normal money.
