I have always treated bitcoin as a side project. I never intend to put my complete devotion in something virtual. Yes I love bitcoin and bitcoin technology. But I'm not willing to put everything at risk for something virtual.
nowadays people are using less and less cash money to pay for things. all they do is using their smartphone with nfc to complete purchases. internet banking is the way to go for a lot people here. all the balances that you see being displayed on your computer or smartphone are nothing more than a few numbers on your screen. that's virtual as well.
