it amazes me how people who are considered at the top of their profession.. can be so resistant to new changing ideas. it's like they grasp onto their old ideas for death. if we look throughout history, it's the new thinkers who create the next step in human evolution.. so why are these "conventional wisdom" guys so hellbent on sticking to their philosophy? it's like they don't know that everything in the world is changing constantly.
i don't really know it bitcoin will be revolutionary, but at this point i'd say you definitely can't count it out.

These people are all old school money from the old school brotherhood. Their entire lives are deeply entrenched in fiat...it's all they know. They've also set themselves so high in their untouchable ivory towers that they genuinely believe they own the world. So anything new and helpful for anyone else but themselves, they'll dismiss.
I think the way to get bitcoin as the official US currency is to head up a massive national bitcoin marketing campaign showing politicians how easy it is to take bribes and secure their wealth without the IRS knowing shit about it or taxing it...and even to hire hit men to off their competition! AND it will pretty much end bank robberies (the old fashioned kind anyway).
They'll turn off the printing presses in 24hrs and make it a mandatory currency
