we are still in early development stage and bitcoin is consider now as experimental.
Bitcoin has been operating longer than Instagram, Pinterest, Vine, and WhatsApp. Nagle's turning bullish.
Bullish? All those companies exploded in valuation and use in less time... Ask the general public about Bitcoin? "Oh I heard about that..."
That said, Bitcoin is uncharted waters, with a nearly impossible goal, thus carrying a much steeper risk/reward profile than an emerging messaging/posting host.
Regarding people, do you know that Bitcoin is still new ?
Sooner or later people will hear about it, just give it some time and watch
Bitcoin isn't new, everybody in the 'west' and beyond has heard about it.
I don't even dare to talk about bitcoin anymore, it used to be interesting to people, but now they just laugh about it and make me look like a fool for even defending the concept (which i still do!).
