And not only that, the OP contradicts himself. It doesn't explain that he says middle class people won't pay that and instead we have to believe that someone poor is going to pay $60 for 1/1000 of something.

Yeah I absolutely don't understand how Bitcoin's the poor man's currency. Come to think of it, going to be hard to find anyone willing to sell you $10 (more than a month's of income in some parts of the world) of BTC (18000 satoshi) without any painful fee.

middle class in developed countries aren't going to pay $6,000 for 1/10th of something, or $600 for 1/100th of something.

And yet I know MANY that have, so clearly this is a completely false statement.

Maybe that's because most of the Middle Class is capable of understanding that they aren't getting a fraction of something? Right now $1 will get you more than 1,667 of something (satoshis, the spendable unit of the Bitcoin currency).

Indeed, the same middle class in developed and developing countries (I come from the latter) who by now already spend a significant portion of their shopping online, who must almost daily be doing some form of foreign exchange by buying across borders. Who also probably own shares, or fractions of shares, or fractions of lots. Perhaps even tiny fractions of precious metals (because who the hell affords these days an entire kilo of gold?).
