people are unwilling to buy, at presumable expensive price, for average joe at least, you don't need to buy fiat to use it for example...
bitcoin need to be acquired directly if we want massive usage, this whole buying thing is not healthy for adoption
Part of it is we need to get "mainstream" normal people to adopt bitcoin. I know I saw some family this week and one LOVES asking bitcoin questions. We need to mainstream enough that answering of questions gets people to want to use it.
But a lot of non technical users are hard to get. I think it starts with more and more sites/places accepting bitcoin. But if we really become mainstream or if it's some other coin with "blockchain" it's hard to say in the very long term.
