Bitcoin isn't for everybody.

Who says so? You? Why? Bitcoin IS for everybody, but we just need to agree on how it will be done. (everyone directly on the blockchain or via some other way like sidechains). If you state that "Bitcoin isn't for everybody" I can easily state that "Bitcoin isn't for you" because I want it so.

This is a wrong premise. It just kinda can't be for everyone, because of the way that people are. The majority are sheep and/or dogmatics. Often, you can't even reason with them. The idea of Bitcoin is about 100 quadrillion light years away from their 'in the box' thinking style. Also I often get the question: 'why should I, there is already fiat?'...

There are two different meanings of for everyone. One of them is: can everyone use it? And the other: is everyone accepting to use it?

I believe we must make the answer to the first question yes even if not everyone is accepting it right now. I really see no point in making it an elitist system when only a few can use Bitcoin.
