Bitcoin Q&A: What is the biggest adoption hurdle?
Published on Aug 8, 2017
The biggest technical hurdle to Bitcoin adoption. User interfaces, generational change, understanding how money and specifically network-based currency works. Some people will never be comfortable with this form of money, but for many people under 30 who belong to an online connected society, doing money on the internet seems obvious. In some places, Bitcoin is being adopted quite rapidly, protecting their savings against crises.
This is part of a talk which took place on June 6th 2017 at a joint meet-up with Blockchain Professionals, BitcoinSYD and SydEthereum in Sydney, Australia: https://antonopoulos.com/event/blockc...
