mmmm i think we are still too few.
Not really everyone. My guess is less than 10% in italy...and is not so much people. And of this 10% how much really know what they are talking about?
I completely agree with you. Bitcoin is well known by a few enthusiasts, normally connected to the "tech world". In this group, since they like to understand things, they normally end up with a decent idea about what bitcoin is. Of course that, "what bitcoin is", is not completely defined yet, so even in this group there is a good room for different opinions.
We then have the investors, that only see the possibility of making profit with bitcoin. Not all of course, but I'm afraid most of them don't really care about the possibilites that BTC offers. They just want those swings in the price, so they can profit from it.
Besides these two groups, we still don't really have anything else. The "common" population does not have any idea about bitcoin. It's something shady that they don't really need to use. Every time I talk to my friends about this they think it could be interesting, but they are still not willing to use it, because they are very practical. So until they see it as a payment method on their stores, they just won't bother with it, because they think that right now this is just a risky investment.
I do my best to try to change things, maybe someday we will get there. So until that happens, I guess that nothing actually changed.
