a. there is no reason for the general public to acquire it
b. there is no easy way for the general public to acquire it
c. it is impossible for most of the world (the poor) to acquire bitcoin since most now have to acquire it from 3rd parties that follow banks rules and the poor is the majority of the world and ignored by western banks
d. it's a toy novel currency for a niche set of western people that refuse to realize most of the world will never use bitcoin nor any bank or credit card
e. the bitcoin network is fatally flawed by how slow transactions are now and it will never be able to handle 100 Million or over 1 Billion transactions a day as a real globally currency unit would need to do
f. 22 Million coins too little to fuel a global economy with 7 billion people, and the high price of a coin will scare aware most of the world.

a. it is still in beta, but the main reason would be the general public can get control back over their assets, this has to sink in and the people will know the reason why to aquire it

c. The poor are poor because of b, hard work low pay, this might not change, but it would not be harder to get bitcoin than it would be to get dollars now
d. just like you say, banks and credit cards are a toy novelty, we replace it with bitcoin, so it is our own toy novelty
e. compared to? My bank? takes up to a day to transfer money to another account, compared to bitcoins transaction speed, that is ages
f. like another allready posted, you divide it, a coin is expensive, a tenth million part of a coin is cheap. I will look out for the day a tenth million bitcoin will be worth 1 cent in dollars
