Yes, but that was due to widespread media coverage. By now pretty much everyone who could invest in BTC knows about it. Its about consumer adoption now.

false. totally utterly false. everyone who could invest already knows about it? there are millions of people who have never tried to get into btc because they didn't understand it, or didn't have the timing right. not everyone has the appetite for risk to get into a totally unknown brand new asset class they don't understand. eventually the people who wrote it off as a scam in the beginning will realize their error as well. of everyone in the world that i know personally, only 3 have bitcoin, including me, and only 20 or so have heard of it, 10 of them because i explained it to them. i know thousands of people personally who would get into bitcoin if it was easy to obtain and store, like it is now, and the trend reversed or volatility decreased. consumer adoption is needed, but that media coverage last year certainly didn't reach everyone. i doubt it reached half of the population. less than a tenth of a percent of the adult working population owns bitcoin. thats going to change.

Does anyone seriously expect a bubble until consumer adoption is cheap and easy?
The last few bubbles happened when bitcoin was far more difficult to obtain. When the price starts to climb again a mania will follow.

I mean, sure, basicly you couldnt rule out that the next bubble will be due to aliens buying it after the inter-galactic news network publishes an article about a "fantastic and innovative payment system developed by some ape-like beings on a boring planet on the edge of the milky way".

Trolls have correctly predicted 87 of the last 4 Bitcoin crashes.

I don't know. What does that have to do with my comment?
Simple. If it wont bubble again until consumer adoption then obviously the trolls (or whatever you call the people predicting a price decline) will have to be right every now and then.

another one to put on ignore

It's seriously time to bring back noob jail but increase it to 6 months to post and a year to start threads.

where do I vote for that. I'd say, make it impossible to post if you have less than 1 posts, that would fix it.

LOLed hard

While at it could someone remind me the reasons why previous newbie restrictions have been removed?

Let's start a poll.

Actually it would be better if Adam started a poll in his Wall Observer thread so Blitz doesn't move it to Meta.

People can now buy bitcoins at Circle.com with a credit card in seconds without verifications or unnecessary waiting.

The question is: why would the average joe buy bitcoin in the first place? what is he gonna do with it?

Since we are talking about mainstream (so buying drugs on the Deep Web is out of question), why would  he use bitcoin instead of a credit card when he can lose 20%-50% or more of money like it happened all through this year?

Seriously, if not for trading profits (the average joe doesn't trade or short for fuck's sake), buying drugs or intellectually masturbating himself about the decentralized nature of the technology, why?

I'm not talking about the future potential of bitcoin or the blockchain, we are talking about adoption, the utility RIGHT NOW for bitcoin to be adopted by the average joe. why would he adopt bitcoin?
