Man, that's the whole reason why bitcoin hasn't been adopted more widely than it has--people are generally fine with using their debit cards, cash, or phone to pay for things, plus the places where you buy everything generally don't accept bitcoin anyway. It's a legitimate point.

My family knows about my interest in bitcoin, but they have no interest in it themselves--probably for the above reason, i.e., they see no reason to go out of their way to buy a form of money that's hard to spend. They think of it as my little eccentric hobby I guess, and that's totally fine with me. Hell, I tend to think of crypto more as an investment than a currency anyway.

On a related note, the few friends I have also feel the same way. I think I've met about three human beings in the real world who've actually owned any bitcoin. A lot of them have heard about it, but in my experience most people have never played around with it themselves.

They just got used to the traditional. Can't blame them actually. We're kinda opposite, as I see it as a currency (just an alternative ones) Cheesy

. Maybe it could be because I ain't that active of a trader nowadays. Well it is kinda subjective point of view anyway.
Only one of my friends owned Bitcoin back in the days in 2017, and I dunno where the hell is he now. Most of people I've dropped a single BTC word at would just simply say "Ah that's a scam". Tongue
