Trolls have correctly predicted 87 of the last 4 Bitcoin crashes.

Does anyone seriously expect a bubble until consumer adoption is cheap and easy?

People can now buy bitcoins at Circle.com with a credit card in seconds without verifications or unnecessary waiting.

The question is: why would the average joe buy bitcoin in the first place? what is he gonna do with it?

Since we are talking about mainstream (so buying drugs on the Deep Web is out of question), why would he use bitcoin instead of a credit card when he can lose 20%-50% or more of money like it happened all through this year?

Seriously, if not for trading profits (the average joe doesn't trade or short for fuck's sake), buying drugs or intellectually masturbating himself about the decentralized nature of the technology, why?

I'm not talking about the future potential of bitcoin or the blockchain, we are talking about adoption, the utility RIGHT NOW for bitcoin to be adopted by the average joe. why would he adopt bitcoin?
