I posted this earlier, post number 3702:
Some of you are hugely underestimating how resistant most people are to Bitcoin, or for that matter, to the very idea of alternate mediums of exchange. I recently tried to explain to a 93-year-old, who has never had her hands on a keyboard, how a computer puts a picture on a monitor. It didn't work. That's where most people are with Bitcoin right now.
If you don't understand that some people just won't use it for whatever reason, try this thought experiment:
How would it go if you started a new business, stating that you will only accept bitcoin in payment? Or if you asked your boss to get paid in bitcoin? Or if you called a cab and told the dispatcher that you'll pay with bitcoin?
You get the idea. My wife is educated and intelligent. She works as a toubleshooter for one of the largest health care companies in the country. She sits in her home office with a computer, two monitors and a phone headset solving communication and information-related problems with medical records for hospitals all around the country.
I asked my wife what she knew about Bitcoin, and her answer was, "What's that?"
The public is just not ready for cryptocurrencies.
