Bitcoin is bloody brilliant, but without the Bitcoin wealthy being able to see that it is in their own best interest to invest, with major VC Bitcoin, then what I see coming is great swaths of idealists (one after another) falling on their swords for the cause.

This is true. What also is missing is a good rhetoric. My initial excitement about Bitcoin continues, and the reasons persist, but there aren't very convincing arguments put forward for people alien to hardcore computing or economy, and I realize that I can't put into words why the concept is very convincing for me. It's just that the humanity needs it, and there are a multitude of reasons why. As with a lot of free projects, we would all be better off if everyone used it, but the scene lacks coherence and simple introduction.
