Indeed, the number of people who use bitcoin as a currencyas opposed to an investment, a bet that its value will rise in timeremains relatively small. For most people, bitcoin and other digital currencies looks like a solution in need of a problema technological end-run around big banks and big government that interests only geeks, drug dealers, and crazed libertarians. People don't need bitcoin so they aren't stupid not to accept it.
I think people are using it more for an investment. I know we need both spending and investment ,but people need to start making new ways for people to spend it and people have to spend it.
