Re: What would happen to the transaction fee if bitcoin SKYROCKETED
I think the main problem of BTC is the NO advertising and NO communication of itself. If TVs and newspapers of all the world should launch an insistent and well explained promotional campaign tomorrow, it could reach $100k before next sunday 
Was this a problem for gold and silver in their early days?
I agree that Bitcoin has had adoption problems in the past. 2009 was a great example of that. But I maintain that slow adoption is among the least of Bitcoin's problems today. In fact, I submit that excessive evangelism leading to artificially stimulated adoption is becoming a problem. A lot of people are being led to believe that Bitcoin is more polished and less risky than it really is.
