They are more familiar with the current system, but after you have done it for the first time, you realise that electrum is actually way easier than banks. People just think its harder, but it is not really.
- sanswork 12y agoIt's only easier if you ignore the part where you have to get bitcoin in the first place.
- Guvante 12y agoAll the examples of "see Bitcoin isn't hard, here is $0.0005 worth" completely gloss over this point.
- Natanael_L 12y agoThat's no fault of Bitcoin, however. Getting USD isn't magically easy either.
- dublinben 12y agoSure it is. You can sit on a street corner and people will literally hand you physical cash. It doesn't get any easier than that.
- mrb 12y agoSomeone merely held a Bitcoin address sign on TV and received coins from all over the world: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/1/5163926/one-college-football-sign-netted-22-bitcoins-for-enthusiast http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/1/5163926/one-college-footba... How awesome is that? It sure beats the reach of sitting on a street corner...
- superuser2 12y agoOh? Something tells me I can't write a Bitcoin address on my direct deposit form. Seriously, the interface provided by Citibank is pretty freaking great. I work, I swipe my credit card places. As long as I do the former more than the latter, I don't need to touch anything else. Also every few months I accumulate enough points to buy something on Amazon for $50-$100 for free. Bitcoin could be even better if I got paid in Bitcoin and could pay people in Bitcoin, but I can't.
