Jessy:
Nice meeting you at the Bitcoin Meetup. From reading the forums, I'd bet on the low end of your 20-30 year old sweet spot currently. Being pretty close to your target demographic, I have to disagree with the lack of interest in Bitcoin. Speculation in unproven technology is precisely what attracts investors. The mere mention of Bitcoin to anyone in a hedge fund creates an intense conversation and weeks later leads to more questions about how to buy them.
There is slow adoption among my friends, but the interest is growing. The problems you allude to may be real in that Bitcoin is viewed as an investment. They are therefore being stored away for an unspecified period of time in the future. That said, once Bitcoin becomes more stable I think you are well positioned in that investors will want to take out profits and use them to buy directly. I think I covered the reasons why in the meeting.
