However, unlike credit cards and banks, Bitcoin works to your benefit.

Bitcoin frees you from nonsense such as:

Having your account closed without any choice
Unfair or inappropriate fees
Unwanted surveillance and tracking from banks (what you do with your money should be only your private business!)
Comparitively fast and cheap global transactions

And Bitcoin helps promote:

Healthy, non-inflating currency
Step towards government spending control to reduce funding for unconstitutional wars and excessive government waste
Step towards stronger middle class and less poverty
Power in your hands, not banks or governments

Sadly most people don't care about these things, just like they don't care about everything else: war, taxes, government etc. They just want to get on with their life with minimal fuss, but their unwillingness to buck the trend and cause a fuss is a big part of the problem. We can see the benefits of bitcoin, but will the mainstream fully? I'm not so sure.

They will. It is just a matter of time. When the flaws will show their real effects, people will care.
