Every time I go to the bank I like to ask them if they have heard of BTC, most of the time the answer is no.
I do ask a lot of people about BTC.. a restaurant near me.. near ish use to accept it as well, I asked to pay with it, they said it no longer exists.. .... ...
Most people I find still have zero idea what BTC is unless they are friends with the likes of us.. I don't think we are even in early adoption stage.. we are in "the chasm" .. it would appear we are going to survive though... appear anyways..
I dunno just something I have taken note of.
Pretty much everyone that has heard of it assumes it's worth like 5 cents and shits themselves when I say it's $1k (Cad) .. we are in very interesting times with BTC.
I know that's lame that so many people ( actually majority of them ) don't know a shit about bitcoin . If we just argue on the point of availability of internet , then this is true that still many people in the globe does'nt have any access to internet , so that's quite obvious for them that they don't know a thing about bitcoin . But the other fact is that most of people do have access to internet and its a shame that they don't know anything about it ( giving a reason that they are no that techie)
. Few days back , i ask.de my friends ( who are currently studying computer science ) which is totally a techie course , and i got to know that even they have'nt heard of bitcoin . i still believe that there is a long way for bitcoin to achieve acceptance and acknowledgement among people.
