Why?

The masses cannot use Bitcoin for buying coffee (it simply can't scale for that) and even the increased blocksize idea in XT would not scale up to the same size as something like Visa for many years (so even if XT became the main chain it won't be replacing the current payment systems for many years if ever).

So the only txs that most are going to make are going to be larger ones where 1 USD per tx might not be much at all (especially compared to something like Western Union).

The most logical area that Bitcoin can *own* is remittance and anyone thinking otherwise is just not looking at the reality.

I think it makes the most sense to first take on remittance and get rid of the ridiculous fees that are having to be paid currently in that area (how about we solve that first before worrying about people buying their coffee with Bitcoin?).
