Well more people are getting to know about bitcoin but it seems people dont care to learn about what it is but rather just want to make a quick buck. If that isnt the mainstream coming in, I dont know what is. But it is still
the beginning I think give it 1-2 years we will see true mainstream adoption by then!

Sounds bad. People very casually investing without really contemplating that much about it (just hearing about it on the phone and presumably hearing about previous prices) and not even learning how to invest themselves suggest that they have no idea what they're doing.
People also commonly say that a stock or asset is in a bubble when your grandmother is buying it. The age range that they're talking about is people who are about 70, especially lay people.

That tells me while we may not be mainstream yet, we are getting there.
What's this obsession that people have about "going mainstream"? Can't it just be what it is, an experiment in cryptography, and then find out what it becomes used for? Especially when the idea of "going mainstream" is just putting money in it, not actually doing anything with it.
We talked about bitcoin today on the phone. She asked me if she gave me 30 dollars if I could invest it for her. I explained the volility of the coin that we could go from 100 to zero just like that. She still wants to put in 30.
