In 1992, some annoying guy (university professor) I worked for told me I really should get 'an email account'.  I figured it was some weird thing that nobody would ever really use genuinely.  After all, telephones worked pretty good by then.  I got one anyway.

Today, nearly everyone would likely feel the same way about 'a bitcoin account' (wallet, address, whatever).  My wife doesn't think anyone will really ever need such a thing.  Good for nerds to tinker around with, but mainstream adoption?  Probably not. 



Yup, Bitcoin is the early stages just like the internet was in the early stages in 1990. Only common folk morons don't get the revolution they are missing the opportunity to be a pioneer at. If only they knew just owning a couple BTC will put them on early retirement.. but of course, they will cry to us later saying we didn't tell them enough.
The problem is trying to explain this to people is pointless. Most people are biologically wired to be impulsive and live for the moment. Just do your own business and keep hustling all this cheap BTC, the mass has no hope, they'll get in when it's already trendy like always.

The point he's trying to say is if you don't update and go with the flow of change be prepared to get left out. Nothing is too late nor is it too early and as in the case of bitcoin I would say there's a good chance it will be something big one day. In the end it doesn't hurt to try out or even take some time to learn more about new technology.

I think you basically pinpointed the logic behind most of the adopters 2012 onward. Cell phones were mocked too when they first hit the market. "Ridiculous" and "you'll never catch me using one of those things!"

Of course, the makers of the first cell phone mobile... What was they called again?

...

I can't remember what the first cell phones were called but they weighed like a kilo, and the battery life was only twenty minutes. Look at this cool dude showing off an early cell phone.



If Bitcoin's going to improve as much as cellphones then the wallet will be unrecognizable in a decade or two.

The wallet is the first thing that needs to change to make mass adiptation possible.

The wallets bluntly said just suck. If u were not interested, it would take too much time to learn.

Phone apps and cheap hardware wallets will be the key.

Yes, back in the 90's we played around with this http://www.pmail.com/ [Internet's longest-serving PC e-mail system] It was free and the company I worked for at the time, were using Dos. Most of the people working there, thought it was a waste of time, but they laughed all the way to the bank, when the telephone cost was reduced by 67%. We became the hero's of the company and now everyone is using email.
Bitcoin will follow the same path, and we will laugh at those who laughed at us. ^Ha Ha Ha^

These days I'm wondering if a dark horse crypto might emerge.
