if you google "21$ in bitcoin" immediately there is a exchange rate. Just like any other currency or formula you can google. Guess what? The world knows about bitcoin; its capabilities has been shown. Guess what? The world is NOT impressed by bitcoin, and uninterested. Bitcoin is disliked, and is not useful to 95% of the population.
I was around in 2011, and we dreamed of this day, where the world has been exposed to bitcoin. As the saying goes "be careful what you wish for", there really isn't that much going on for bitcoin, but furthermore, the future of bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not really decentralized, anonymous, or easy to use. Any entity that tries to improve bitcoin is not in it to really improve bitcoin, but to monopolize some kind of service that is good for bitcoin in the short run but destroys it in the long run. Coinbase, mtgox, etc etc...
Bitcoin is centralized in the fact that it is only as good as the developers, and the developers are total stone degenerates. Bitcoin is doomed to be something that just "didn't work" when we look back at in hindsight. Just like another penny stock that was selling for hundreds of dollars a share during the .com bubble. 5 years from now (if this forum still exists), someone will bump this thread and facepalm at their ignorance.
