Yes it is. If the media is not crypto topics, then they usually speak about bitcoin as an extremely volatile, risky and unstable toy for "mommy's investors". Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is most often biased towards bitcoin (due to the influence of governments, we already know about their dislike), most often they speak about it not from the best side. Usually, they are mentioned with sharp rises and falls in prices. Of course, completely without mentioning the advantages of the opportunities that bitcoin gives.

Until a person himself starts looking for the information he needs, then no media will provide him with it in finished form.

Limited, superficial presentation of information media or media, as well as exposing bitcoin from an unsightly angle, scares off some people. But some of them could contribute to mass adoption (by applying or accelerating it in various areas and fields of activity with which these people are associated), learn a little more about bitcoin. Therefore, it seems to me that the media or other information resources have a negative impact by slowing it down. Only portals like this forum allow people to get reliable information about bitcoin and I believe that the path to mass adoption should begin here.

The bad part about bitcoin mass adoption is that those who are already in cryptocurrency communicate or socialize mostly with those who are in cryptocurrency also. Cryptocurrency community is a cycled community. People that are outside cryptocurrency bother much with their own problems, and dont want to spend much time learning new. Their better skip or avoid these "internet money", or "fake money" or "money used by criminals" (still a lot of people equate cryptocurrency to something illegal) and get back to what they do 24/7.

I don't know, I think it was originally intended to replace a broken system. Well, maybe not completely replace, but to replace the trust factor that people tend to give even with their own money. Effectively, it was a dig at banks, and how people blindly trust them.

If it wasn't created to completely replace the current system, I do believe it was created to show the people that there are alternatives, which I would argue the goal of that has been achieved. Everyone now knows what Bitcoin is, they might not understand it yet, and I think that ties in with the original discussion, that mass adoption will only really occur if Bitcoin is made simpler to understand. Dumbed down if you will.

The biggest issues we see these days is the complexity, that creates uncertainty, and therefore in turn creates hostility. People generally fear what they don't understand. Bitcoin is something I do believe is subjected to that thought process.

Right, which to be honest I do believe we've already highlighted the usefulness of Bitcoin. I mean, we've got hundreds, thousands of people who now know that trusting someone else with your wealth isn't exactly the greatness idea, especially when that's bit people in the arse before. Bitcoin basically gave people the choice of freedom, and while it might not suit everyone it does give you the choice, which you didn't have before. Well, technically you could not use a bank, and just use cash, however receiving money globally then isn't exactly easy. Bitcoin bridges that gap quite effectively.

Although, I do agree that it doesn't really matter what the use case is, as long a there is a use. For me, I don't ever see there no being a use for a currency which respects privacy, and being rather trustless.

If the mass adoption means crypto currency taking over the traditional currency system as a means of payment, then that is still a far fetched dream. But we can see that many people, especially youngsters, are interested in crypto currency for both trading and investments. Crypto currency surely has a market of its own and will continue to stay strong whether it becomes universal payment mode or not.

It could never able to replace the traditional currency system that we do have considering that it had been existed for ages or since from the beginning but doesnt mean that crypto wont be that relevant.

Speaking about speeding up mass adoption then just let the process or things do come normally because we do know that each country does have different stance or impressions towards bitcoin or crypto as a whole.

For now the best thing to be done at least is to spread up into some friends or some people about its existence but it depends because there are some who doesnt really care.

We all need to think a little update to speed up the mass adoption of Bitcoin.If we can talk about this on various media channels on YouTube and record videos, then one day people will fall in love with Bitcoin.And if we decide to talk a bit about Bitcoin as an optional subject in school and college, the mass acceptance of Bitcoin can be increased.

Those of your point is what makes bitcoin to be widespread. Bitcoin is already adopted in most of the high countries. So what is we are looking at is the local adoption of bitcoin from uncivilized countries were information of any thing will be difficult before reaching to the people staying or living in locals and interior part of the country. The acceptance of bitcoin is now dominating some digital currencies that is the platform before bitcoin. Since we are talking of the way bitcoin can be speculated and get adopted, the way forward is through social media and testimony of what bitcoin has done in our lives with that people will welcome bitcoin

If we all started to use debit cards filled with bitcoins and start using it everywhere and create a viral social media movement out of it, then we could increase it a lot? I mean social media has done a lot more for stuff that are a lot less, why would we worry about the current situation right now as impossible? Just go on all social media, instagram, mainly reels, twitter, tiktok and what have you and start using bitcoin debit cards everywhere you go with some hippy and trendy hashtag and you got yourself a massive adoption, places will start to accept bitcoin by the bulk just to be part of that trend and get paid while doing it.

I know I sound like I keep repeating myself, but if you read up from the past, you know that the adoption of mobile payments is the way to go. We have a ton of exchanges, the most commonly known are binance, coinbase and crypto.com websites. Instead of having like debit cards or anything, just have mobile phone apps that you could pay from, like read a QR code to pay type of stuff.

This may not be common in the world right now, but I guarantee you 100% that we will no longer have POS machines in the future, all banks will move towards shops having tablets with bank app and qr code to get paid, and people will pay via mobile phones with bank app by reading the qr code, get in there as an exchange and help people pay with their exchange app instead of bank app and you will get adopted rapidly.
