Yea, choice is individual decision, so no matter how we try to convince someone once he doesn't Believe in what you are saying there is absolutely nothing you can do about such situations, to individuals who choose fiat over Bitcoin, they feel that Bitcoin is a complicated innovation as the op said the same is applicable to bitcoiners, this is just understanding difference, every Bitcoin enthusiast, more expecially people that has been in the system for a while understands that Bitcoin is a valuable asset that requires a longterm mindset to achieve from the investment but for a novice that has chosen fiat instead of Bitcoin unless he see some evidential proves of what you have achieved so far with Bitcoin, there is nothing you will tell such person that will make him or her to belive that Bitcoin is a good investment unless such individual wants to try the investment based on his interest.

In the aspect of technicalities, I don't think is must for everyone to be involved in that as you said, in whatever investment we choose, the first thing to learn is how things are been done after that, we are good to go may be we can acquire more knowledge when we are fully involved in the said investment.

The Fiat system is easy to understand because we don't need to use gadgets but bitcoin does which makes any person who doesn't have a good background about how new technology works will definitely say, I prefer fiat. In fact, in my country, even when using ATMs still a lot of people don't know, they ask for assistance from others. That is much more if the system is not the system we have known since childhood.

Maybe for this young generation, it was easy for them as they are exposed already but I'd never see this as adaptable to the oldies people, they certainly take what they understand fully rather than learning new things. And I expect mixed opinions from people as it depends on their current situation and adaptability.

Oh yes, I've seen this image or a similar one before, and since then I regularly point out that fiat is not simpler than Bitcoin. What is simpler is usage, but that's something that can be simplified and sometimes is simplified with Bitcoin, albeit at a cost of decentralization. But fiat doesn't have decentralization and that doesn't seem to bother most people. So Bitcoin can be similar to fiat in that regard.

This is a great image, however it's a little confusing how the Tether stable coin is included in the chart. It would really be great if it only included fiat based systems. I guess the thing is though, as much as this chart tries to capture the complexity of the US dollar monetary system, there are so many other connections that are not covered, just because of the complexity and unknown unknowns involved.

In technical terms, Bitcoin is much more complicated than Fiat. It will be hard for someone new to understand how BTC works (setting optimum network fees, avoiding sending coins to the wrong address, backing up seeds/keys, etc). With Fiat, sending/receiving payments is a breeze. I mean if that's what you mean by "complicated".

Believe me, things will get better for Bitcoin as developers continue to improve UX. It won't be long enough before sending/receiving BTC would be as easy as sending/receiving an email. We just need to give it a little more time. It won't be going anywhere, especially when it's the one coin that started it all.

With "Wall Street" now in the game, BTC will only go higher both in market price and mainstream adoption. I wonder if other countries will adopt BTC as legal tender the same way El Salvador did? If a large number of countries adopt BTC, Fiat's days will be over. Just you wait and see.

El Salvador has accepted bitcoin as legal tender but they still use USD as their main currency, moreover I see them focusing on investing in bitcoin rather than promoting and encouraging people to use bitcoin instead of USD as the main currency.

I believe that all countries in the world will have to accept and legalize bitcoin but that does not mean they will accept it as legal tender and eliminate fiat currency. Don't forget that governments are controlling and managing us through fiat, if they abolish fiat how will they control us? So, the scenario where governments will legalize bitcoin and the fiat era ends is highly unlikely.

I suppose it comes down people being creatures of comfort. Generally once people are used to something or to doing something in a particular way, it is difficult to show them a new way.

When Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 it did not bring people in masses from all age and educational demographics then and it is not doing it now either though year-on-year number are increasing. Today people using Bitcoin (or their preferred crypto) are increasing in numbers across all age and educational demographics but in comparison to those that use fiat, it is in such a minority that working out percentages will be difficult.

Exactly. The very countries embracing the Bitcoin revolution, are the ones still stuck with the "Fiat Standard". This won't change anytime soon. Especially when governments don't want to lose control/power over the economy. They might as well build CBDCs on top of Bitcoin, than use BTC as a replacement for Fiat. At least we know Bitcoin (and crypto) is the future of money.

The world economy will change drastically in the future. Central banks will use Bitcoin's core blockchain technology for their own digital Fiat currencies (otherwise known as CBDCs). They won't lose. The ones that will be losing are people like you and me. Bitcoin promises to bring true financial freedom. But with CEXs and institutional investment companies dominating the market, BTC would be subject to the wills of the government. If such entity prohibits people from buying/selling BTC or even using it, it'll be game over for good. I have a feeling "hyperbitcoinization" will be a long and distant dream.

Improving user experience is key for mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. It should only be a matter of time before BTC becomes easy enough to use as Fiat for day-to-day payments. Some wallets already set optimum network fees when sending BTC. They even have an attractive GUI. So there's been some progress after all. But you'd still need some sort of technical knowledge to avoid sending coins to the wrong address or securing your funds against hacks or theft. This only applies for non-custodial wallets. Centralized wallets (managed by a custodian) are much easier to use, though.

I hope someday major countries adopt BTC as legal tender. That would reduce Fiat's dominance by a large margin. Despite Bitcoin's promise to bring financial freedom, we should never expect it to replace Fiat. Governments don't want to lose power/control over the economy, right?
