ONTOPIC:
Ungeekify the usage of Bitcoins or it will never happen.

Once all the bitcoins get minned, there will be no point in needing to ungeekify.

Wait, what?! 0.o

Basically, it's like using computers.

Back in the 1970~80s, you would have to be a real geek to know to use one.
Fast forward 20 years and by the 2000s, it's a household appliance even grandma might know how to use.

Since it'll take until 2030~2040 or so for all bitcoins to get mined, bitcoin surviving meaningfully means the infrastructural issues should had been ironed out and it won't be a geeky thing anymore. Just like how laptops and PDAs aren't a geek thing since like 10 years ago.
