It's been bothering me lately, thinking about this. Consumers have absolutely no motivation to use Bitcoin. And because of that, I don't understand how it will ever go global.
You're forgetting one key property: that is anonymity. Black-market consumers are absolutely motivated for crypto use, and guess what... that's enough for initial healthy rise. Remember, SR was the first one, then came speculators. And it's only just begun. Primary markets are black, until it's big enough to be stable, and when it becomes stable - regular consumers will kick in massively. I give 1 year until we see relatively stable Bitcoin.
