What if the 'Bitcoin Revolution' actually takes 20 years to happen... instead of happening this year (2014) ?
What if it never happens? It probably wont. Why? Because people. If people had any sense there would be revolutions daily. People don't know what's good for them and they would just like to get on with their miserable lives without any fuss as long as nobody bothers them.
I find this to be very true. People tend to act docile and repeat the same tasks each day, doing their best to not "disturb" anything. This culture doesn't translate well for revolutions. Knowing how fast trends spread on the internet though, I think 20 years is an overestimate.
