Top 5 Obstacles to the Adoption of Bitcoin





 There has been a lot of hype surrounding the adoption of blockchain technology, which has both piqued business leaders' interest in adopting it and alarmed them about the difficulties and risks involved. Blockchain is a peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology that, at its most basic level, can effectively and forever record transactions.


1. Lack of adoption: In order for blockchain networks to operate properly, they need to be widely used. There are many benefits to using blockchain technology. Organizations are teaming up more often and forming collaborative blockchain working groups to address shared problems and develop solutions that are beneficial to all parties while maintaining the privacy of sensitive data.


2. Bitcoin technology is still in its infancy, and the skills needed to develop and use it are in short supply. Companies can use blockchain as a service (BaaS), which enables them to benefit from blockchain without having to invest a lot of money on the technical talent needed, to address the skills gap.


3. Users' absence of trust is the third major obstacle to widespread adoption of blockchain technology. Organizations might not trust other participants in a blockchain network and may not believe in the security of the technology, which are two aspects of this problem.


4. Financial resources: According to researchers in APQC's study, a lack of funding is the fourth obstacle to widespread blockchain usage. Blockchain implementation is expensive, and many businesses are currently operating on tight budgets due to the pandemic and upheaval of 2020. Another learning from the pandemic is that organisations, and IT departments in particular, can change more quickly than was previously thought possible.


5. Bitcoin interoperability: Many businesses have a tendency to design their systems with various features. These different blockchains are independent of one another, and there is currently no global standard that enables different networks to communicate with one another. Blockchain interoperability is demonstrated by the capability to trade, view, and access data across different blockchain networks without the need for a middleman or centralised authority.
