Another thought on this topic is I don't think anyone was particularly un-happy about Kodak's prices and products. I never heard to many people go off about film prices or even paying for the prints. It was a great product and service for the price. Digital cameras are just a little more convenient especially for sharing, but this little edge proved to be a tsunami over time.

So Bit coins just have to be a little bit more convenient for paying. One thing that may drive adoption a little faster is if bitcoins are proven stable over the next few years, is that some people are outright pissed off about finical institutions, and activly seeking a way to avoid all sorts of pitfalls with our current system. Be it inflation or fees or some jackass knowing how much you blow on mcdonalds each month.

If you could explain to everyone bitcoins with out all the exceptions. Every positive statement for bitcoin has to end with a but...... you could get royally fucked and lose everything.

Its just not a solid sales pitch.
