Topic: Why isn't crypto going mainstream? - page 2. (Read 2127 times)
Good question. And the best answer is, in my opinion, such - be an active member of society. Promote bitcoin among their friends and acquaintances, try to pay with bitcoin wherever possible and so on.
Are you seriously asking this ?
WOW.
How did you miss the fact that crypto is a scammy pointless joke (for bitcoin profits) ?
How did you miss the gazillion scams where people lost money ?
How did you miss the SEC "investor fraud warning" ?
How did you miss the fact that 99.99% of all "coins" are scammy pointless bullshit
..with......... no hope in hell at ever getting used as intended ?
And if they are not used as intended then what is it you think the "mainstream" public is going think of this shit ?
Unregulated pseudo penny stock ICO "coins" for profit on centralized govt compliant exchanges ?
Are you seriously wondering why this hasn't gone "mainstream" ? really ?
You people really are truly god damn fucking stupid.
THE PUBLIC GOT THAT WARNING.. so uhhhhhhhh ?

Had a talk with someone from China about Bitcoin yesterday. I was looking at coinmarketcap and he asked what I was looking at. I told him about bitcoins, and he told me he heard about it and said it was just gambling. He had a pretty negative opinion on it, and nothing I could have said would change his mind. I think a lot of people still equate crypto to online drugs and hackings. It will probably take a long while for crypto to go mainstream, but it's more time for us to accumulate more until it does go mainstream
People are too busy with Facebook, twitter, Instagram etc.... furthermore... it is still too difficult to do those crypto, to understand the blockchain. Also we have registrations on 1000 websites, wallets and exchanges 
. I am still not getting used to that.
But time will come when crypto will be more easy and then prices will moon.

in my village also many people who do not understand what is blockchain technology, this is because they think it all that does not mean anything and has no benefits. Now to give knowledge to the people about blockchain technology is by seminars and others more advertise in the social media to provide precise information about what is blockchain actually. But i believe day by day and year by year more people will understand what is blockchain technology.
I'm personally not sure why Crypto isn't going mainstream yet since i hear it all over the news.
I recently read an article from TheNextWeb and they mention Bitcoin and Ethereum will be everywhere? - Heh how soon will that be.

Because the mainstream is owned by system compliant entities and they have of course no interest to advertise a for us people fair currency system.
If crypto currencies would benefit the established system, you can be rest assured that it would be positive advertised in the daily press.

I claim Facebook was spread by viral uptake and friends-of-friends saying, “are you on facebook?”.
Crypto is not mainstream because the mainstream has no use for it yet.
Crypto does not go through because it is not common to anyone and some do not know this crypto, perhaps in the next few years it might be known, but if it is named and mailed
It will be next year, bitcoin will finish on a high despite the negativity from key market makers trying to crash the price. Marketing will increase, retail investor focused companies will begin funds and provide access to the cryptosphere.
2018 will be a big year, mark my words.

Who said it's not? Crypto currencies are new. It is not even a decade since the initial release of the oldest one, bitcoin. Crypto currencies right now is like credit cards back in the 60's. Everything new is not easily embraced by the masses as there will always be doubts. Give it time and it will go mainstream. Japan is doing the right thing already. Integrating bitcoin into society.
Simple: ease of use and security.
The bulk of crypto requires a degree of computer competence beyond perhaps 85% of people. 98% of people if you include the entire world.
Security: If someone steals my identity and drains my bank account, I report it, and my bank keeps me whole. If someone hacks my Bitcoin key and drains my wallet, I have no recourse, cannot reverse the transaction, and am totally fukt. Try convincing an elderly retiree to use bitcoin under those circumstances.

It's normal that new things have a process to be known and accepted, especially it seems not illegal in some countries, but I think it maybe not a bad thing, if everyone think cryptos have a brighter future, then all of them will get involved, then it will be more difficult to gain profits
It's still much too complicated. Crypto exchanges are hard to navigate and understand for someone new to crypto. They're also greedy and the fees are too high.
I think the idea of blockchain and getting money for math problems just doesn't compute to most people. More "important" figures will need to adopt it in order for the sheep to follow.
Hey guys,
I don't get what's holding us back. Every time I talk about crypto with a family member or someone at work their eyes glaze over.
I feel like I'm the weirdo talking about klingon mating rituals!
Which makes me wonder - why are we still on the fringe? What could we do to take blockchain technology and make it accessible for everyone?
Anyway, that's my rant for today...
What do you think?

For anything to reach the general public, expect a 3 year delay after it feels like everyone knows about it. From there, you have to have companies come in and make things simple.
I feel like there are ICO's that are very mainstream like Unkrn's UnikoinGold. They launched last month and their ICO is ending this month. They got a lot of attention when big honchos like Mark Cuban, Ashton Kutcher, and Pantera Capital (the people that funded Twitter and Snapchat) funded them. Even some of my friends who know nothing about crypto and ICO's mentioned it to me lol.
Most people don't really get it. They seem to be completely unable to grasp the logic and the mechanics of cryptos. Some of these people however dream of being able to enjoy the advantages that cryptos eventually bring to people who adopt it (ie getting rich - perhaps) without however getting any clue of what cryptos acctually consists. These are the people who are perfect victims for scams like the Onecoin Ponzi scheme.
What could we do to take blockchain technology and make it accessible for everyone?
Actually we don't have to do anything but by the continuous support we will be able to see it then that is accessible to everyone. And we are getting there in the mainstream since it's name was being in the news so people are curious about cryptocurrency and they are seeing it's chart to be realistic and it's an attractive investment because there are big people that are showing its support and interest.
too hard to buy and get verified and limits and such.
Crypto isnt going mainstream because of it hart to understand in the beginning, and so many peoples don't know about crypto now. In my circle of contacts much more then a half of peoples dont hear about crypto and it hard to explain them what it is crypto. People love comfort and simplicity. Maybe later it will be crypto.
I think we are on a good track to make it mainstream! It maybe will need 1 or 2 years, but we will see more and more people rushing into the markets!
