Short-sightedness at its finest. Bitcoin is not even a static, finished product. It's an ever evolving open software.

This clearly indicated that people's knowledge about today's fiat money system is almost zero. But some of them will start to realize the slavery nature of it
Only 2.3 million people have seen this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0Even if you assume 100% of them are Americans, that's less than 1% of the population
1.6 million people have seen this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGk5ioEXlIM
Fortunately, this one at least has been seen by 15 million and counting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM
Young people today spend more time learning online by pictures and videos than any generation previously.
Not to mention some of those 2.3 and 1.6 million views are the from repeated viewings , so the viewcount might not represent the actual number of people who have seen it.

Even if that person is interested in bitcoin doesn't mean s/he will adopt bitcoin .Frankly, bitcoin is worthless to me right now .It solves absolutely no problem for me and the thing that it does really well( money tranfer ) actually cost more than the mainstream that it's trying to replace.So no, I don't see myself using bitcoin and I consider myself more knowledgeable about bitcoin that the average joe.
What the hell are you doing here then?

I talked about this to my dad and he thinks its crap. Money will be money. Bitcoin are for nerds.
Everyone who has posted in this thread, you may consider yourself an early adopter, even if you just heard of bitcoin today. Go buy some. The price is right.

They will change their mind when they realize Bitcoin advantages over fiat currencies.
You can't really persuade such people with online arguments, they are too unreceptive to new ideas.
Though that doesn't mean arguing is pointless; there is always a silent majority lurking and reading comments, and many among them are ready to hear both sides of the argument. I'm sure that's how a lot of us jumped off the fence and got into bitcoin.

People use too much of their brains! All of these were wrong.
Thanks for the giggles.

You're just cherry picking examples of people who guessed the future right.
There's probably more examples of failed enterprise but it doesn't get documented cause nobody cares about those stories

None of those people were right!
That is why I do not worry about recruiting just anyone to come use Bitcoin.
The new economy does not need to be run by the old guard and idiots.

Yeah. In 1993 and 1994 I talked to people about domain names and how they should register a few. Or at least one for their business. Only one guy (who was a tech guy) did out of dozens. 2-4 years later they were kicking themselves. But even then there were some good names left.
Read about bitcoin on its first mention on slashdot, fall of 2010. Everyone then sounded like these Canadians now and many in people in the years between. At every point people say " it's too late, I'm not an early adopter."

This is true. The vast majority of business ideas, even at the most successful companies end up failing. Most inventions end up never being used. There's probably more examples of failed enterprise but it doesn't get documented cause nobody cares about those stories
If 1% of new ideas materialised, we would have been in a much better world.
This sort of gives me hope. I consider myself a boat misser, since I didn't buy back in the day and im not filthy rich now. But maybe im still an early adopter after all, not pioneer tier, but early adopter, and maybe with 10 BTC, i can be rich in 10 years, when the average moron is FORCED to move their assets into alternatives because the FIAT ponzi scheme starts collapsing. I said it before, we need it in eBay and Amazon as the start.
It takes time for bitcoin to penetrate into the wider society.
Hmmm to tell you the truth I find it a bit crazy when learning about bitcoin. But working around it, I think bitcoin has a lot of potential and has a lot of space for improvements. It will surely be a thing in the future.
A lot of people that I have spoken to about BTC (who are well educated people), think bitcoin is either a scam or a ponzi scheme of some sort. A few of them thought that BTC was a company that had gotten shut down (they were referring to Gox I am assuming). TBH, i would say that probably 1 out of every 5 people that I have spoken to would consider using it. We have a ways to go for adoption obviously...
