So, that being said, is their a way to effectively get this coin into the hands of those outside of cryptos, in an easy effortless fashion. To effectively break this cycle is to reach out to those outside of community.
That really is the holy grail, and has not really been achieved in any meaningful way IMO. NXT had a good go at it, by being part of the PayExpo in London this year (and will be at the 2015 PayExpo also), which was sponsored by Barclays Bank. It was a fair attempt to break out, and break that cycle you mentioned.
Ultimately, its all about utility. Build it, and they will come.
