I keep hearing the same old story that "Bitcoin was born as a currency not controlled by banks" and "banks aren't needed for someone to keep his Bitcoins". I'm sorry to hear this. The masses will never turn to Bitcoin if they have to use a computer and take care of their own money. In fact, the masses couldn't care less about a bank-free world and peer-to-peer money.
BINGO!
I couldn't agree more with you.
Most people want simplicity over cleverness.
I've been getting blank stares for 2 and a half years from most people I mention Bitcoin to.
Can't really blame them as I was the same till I spent the time to read up on what Bitcoin really is rather than just taking the media's version of what
Bitcoin is.
Started to just keep my mouth shut now.
