I think Bitcoin will succeed even if the mass of people do not adopt it but it will not succeed if the mass of people do not accept it because I feel Bitcoin needs more acceptance than it needs adoption. People do not need to start using bitcoin to give it value, accepting the importance of it is enough to give it some value.
Acceptance by all and adoption by a few is enough to give it value.
Seriously, how do you differentiate between Acceptance & Adoption?
If you accept Bitcoin and don't use it, how well can it affect the market.
What Bitcoin need is adoption to be used differently, each demand causes the price to increase, who cares about acceptance when growing usage becomes a big thing.
