I think if you talk to people in the 20 year range, most will have heard about it
Not sre about most girls though

If you on campuses a lot of people have heard of it

I agree that we are at an earlier stage of the adoption cycle than most people here tend to think. The perception of people within a group of shared convictions tends to be distorted regarding the number of other people share the same convictions. The simple reason is that Bitcoiners tend to have more friends that are also Bitcoiners or at least open towards Bitcoin. In addition, Bitcoiners spend much more time on following Bitcoin news that regular people. The result is a huge overestimation of the current impact of Bitcoin in the real world.

If I had to guess, I'd say that we are still below 1% of the total potential in terms of adoption - not even having reached "the chasm". However if the right circumstances align and Bitcoin becomes mature in terms of usability I think that mass adoption will be much faster than the early growth we've experienced until today.

ya.ya.yo!

You won't get anything if a try for ask about bitcoin with their employees but the result will be different if we were asking about that with his head division or someone was contributing to their development institution like corporate leaders.
it wasn't becoming the common thing in our community, it's normal.

Yeah it is true that only people who are using the internet have likely heard about bitcoin. Here in my country, not all people here have the access in the internet. And not all who access the internet have the knowledge about bitcoin. Maybe for now, many but not everyone has already known bitcoin. And maybe it will take more years for bitcoin to be known by everyone in this planet.

Less than ten years is still an early adaptation of bitcoin. i do think that bitcoin will be split further more in decimals to accommodate everyone in future . People who know about bitcoin is less than a million and people who really use it are far less than that.It will take time for everyone to get accustomed to.

I see that majority of voices in this thread say that we are in the early stage of adoption/innovation/after bug fixing period and great time will come.

Why are so sure about it when even top bitcoin figures don't believe this future?

Some examples: Mike Hearn, former bitcoin developer - "Bitcoin is a failed experiment"

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire - "Nobody will be using bitcoin in 5 to 10 Years"

Why ordinary people should follow when leaders have no faith?

Good reply...

People can see Bitcoin in the news but they forgot because they don't use it, maybe if Bitcoin start to appears 10 times a day for a year so people can remember.

I was imagining the OP asking random people in the streets  Maybe they know BTC but they thinked you are promoting some cloud mining(ponzi schemes)  jk, I don't think 10% of the world knows the cryptocurrencies.

We are close friends of a family in our area, where the wife is a bank manager of one of the local banks. She has gone to some seminars about Bitcoin, that was hosted by the bank. She says, they do not fear Bitcoin, because banks have the support of the government and Bitcoin is still in a grey area.

She is also confident that Bitcoin would never disrupt the banking system, but it might grab a percentage of their customers. The banks will always have a role, whenever fiat is involved. They have the monopoly on fiat with the help from governments. ^hmmmm^

Yeah,that`s true.Nobody knows about bitcoin and most of the people don`t know

how bitcoin or the blockchain works.

We have to promote btc more.

i am not sure about that. china and brazil are populated with a big number of people. so if let us say 100,000 people know about bitcoin in Brazil and 100,000 in china. the for every one that knows about bitcoin you will meet 2,000 people in brazil that do not know it. and in china it would be even over 1 in 10,000. so when you are going door to door to ask about bitcoin you will have a hard time there, unless you stumble into a bitcoin meeting.
