ok now we went from a psychic mom to a scared trollbear, quick transition. yeah, general population will never understand bitcoin or run to it with arms open, nobody ever expected this. people will use what's more convenient, and bitcoin gives the opportunity to create something far beyond anything apple, google or facebook could ever possibly create - a truly world-wide, cheap, free and unrigged financial system, where actual people have control over their money.

why would people want it, when it is ready? how many people would live in their own apartment instead of barracks? what about an apartment that guaranteed to be yours and only yours no matter which government is in power? as soon as that idea sinks in, there will be no coming back to banks.

you are just one of short term speculators here who really can not see out of the box. it is ok, it's just not your time yet. come back to bitcoin in 5 years when there will be no understanding to be done and you will see the results.
