Today I was thinking of a number of reasons why Bitcoin is not mainstream yet. See the list right away:
#1 Hard to understand
It's not easy for everyone to understand what the blockchain technology is and what are the advantages or disadvantages to apply it. You can also watch videos or posts on internet or in recognized newspapers that give inaccurate information.
# 2 It's not easy to use
I think there is a computer illiteracy quite common in the world and in Europe in particular. The fact that your funds are saved with a code string that acts as a password and is unrecoverable if you lose it, it's a very big barrier. People are used to have username and password and "Forgot your password". Changing this costs and will cost.
#3 Governments looking to stop the movement
Governments around the world have understood the importance and validity of these new ways to exchange money and are trying to stopping it in different ways to don't loose power. For example make advertising or exchange illegal.
#4 Scam in general
ICO scammers who collect millions and then don't deliver anything or ICO that collect money and then send messages that perculate users. Phishing attempts by email or social network accounts like twitter are on daily bases.
#5 Whale price manipulation
The whale is the one who has a big quantity of a cryptocurrency. These people can manipulate the markets by creating sales orders and engaging in a general panic-sale and then buying back at lower prices. This manipulation for personal interest is a big problem for the movement.
PS: This is my first time that I write in english, so I hope you will be good to me if there is any grammatical error .
Oggi stavo pensando ad una serie di motivi per la quale Bitcoin non fosse ancora universalmente accettato e conosciuto e ho cercato di trovare qualche risposta. Ve le elenco subito:
#1 Difficoltà di comprensione
Non è facile per tutti capire come funziona la tecnologia blockchain, che cosa è e che vantaggi o svantaggi ci sono ad utilizzarla. Addirittura anche video guida che si trovano nella rete o in testate giornalistiche riconosciute danno notizie ed informazioni inesatte.
#2 Non è user-friendly
Penso ci sia una analfabetismo informatico abbastanza diffuso nel mondo e in Europa in particolare. Il fatto che i tuoi fondi siano salvati con una stringa di codice che funge da password ed è irrecuperabile se la perdi, penso sia una barriera molto grande per il livello culturale informatico medio in cui ci troviamo adesso. La gente è abituata a Username e Password e ha "Hai dimenticato la tua password". Cambiare questo costa e costerà.
#3 I governi che cercano di frenare il fenomeno
Governi di tutto il mondo hanno capito l'importanza e la validità di questi nuovi modi di scambio di denaro e per non perdere il controllo cercano di stopparlo in qualche modo come per esempio rendendo illegali gli exchange, le pubblicità etc.
#4 Scam in generale
ICO truffaldine che raccolgono milioni per poi non produrre niente o addirittura alcune che raccolgono i soldi e poi inviano messaggi che perculano gli utenti. Tentativi di phishing tramite email o account sui social network sono all'ordine del giorno.
#5 Manipolazione del prezzo dalle balene
La balena è colui che possiede una quantità alta di una determinata cryptomoneta. Queste persone possono manipolare i mercati creando ordini di vendita ed innestando un panic-selling generale per poi ricomprare a prezzi più bassi. Questa manipolazione per l'interesse personale è un cancro per tutto il movimento.
