Paper bitcoin could get attention in the long run if you work on it and promote it well enough but there is already a non-paper bitcoin around that we can use however we want without the legal loopholes that riches use to manipulate the regular traditional money.

So, with your logic yes new people can fall over heels for paper bitcoin but also at the same time we are not going anywhere anytime soon so we will not use it and we are smarter than them on what the benefits are for not using and what benefits are for using it and we know benefits of not using outweighs the benefits of using it so we will spread that knowledge to new people as well. Your logic can only be sustained if there were no more people who already know what the difference is, but we are not leaving so it can't happen anytime soon.

Everything you just wrote can be applied precisely to gold. Yet none of that prevents regulations/Wall Street/banks from repressing the actual price of gold. So what makes you think Bitcoin is any different?

Don't get me wrong. I believe in Bitcoin. But I think it's going to be a tremendous upward battle to get an honest Bitcoin to grow and become widespread. It's going to be an even harder battle if we refuse to understand that government/wall street/banks are the enemy of Bitcoin, not it's friend.
