I believed in Bitcoin, I really did, but there is no denying that the world isn't ready for something like this in the current form. It needs to be dumbed the fuck down because the average Joe is thick as shit.
I don't think it has to be dumbed down at all. The 'Average Joe' has no idea how the Dollar, Euro, Franc, or any other type of money works, yet he knows it does and accepts its use. All Bitcoin needs to do is inspire
confidence to be successful. The only way to do that is to get it into more widespread use. Dumbing it down is not a prerequisite for its adoption.

Not only confident, also practical.
"carrying this" here and "exchanged" there for "goods" is the simplest thing ever.
You need a currency that beats that: "click here and good to go".
Right now, in its current form, it is way too complicated to be adopted outside of geekdom.
