People is put off by the fact 1% own shit loads compared to the 99% just like it happens with FIAT, and they are just too tired-pissed off to deal with BTC and it's volatility.
I think it is more a lack of understanding than anything else. It is our job to point out that the 1% isn't enforced by government manipulation or artificial barriers. The only advantage the bit coin elite have is time. People that get in now will have the same advantage over people that follow them.
No we will not have the same advantage. We will never be as wealthy as the guys that got thousands of BTC when it was less than a penny. We missed the boat, if Bitcoins grow ill it will be too slow for us to enjoy any life changing wealth out of our sub 100BTC wallets.
I think you are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Even being here now and using BTC is being part of something that is going to flip the economic world on its head. You can't really put a price on that.
Most people here we are GEEKS and in touch with the technological world. What matters is the 99% non autistic person. If the 99% doesn't use it, it's destined to fail. We need people to think Bitcoin is cool otherwise we are fcked.
