Topic: The 1 thing we NEED to do in order to make Bitcoin more popular - page 2. (Read 3572 times)
I agree with everything you have said. In addition, it will still be a hard road. More established vendors will be needed, which is based on more people joining as well. I do think that the silk road and other sites like it will be the biggest hurdle to a wider acceptance.
"Bitcoin is the future of currency."
"Bitcoin will skyrocket in price."
"1BTC will be worth $3000 in 2014."
These are things I've been reading on the forums these past few days and I go
I do believe that Bitcoin has the potential to change the global market forever, but I think in order for this to happen we need the general public to start using Bitcoin. More people using BTC = higher likelihood of BTC sustainability
The biggest challenge I see for Bitcoin to start getting used by the general public is: usability
Your average person is not technologically savvy enough to understand Bitcoin enough to put his faith and hard-earned USD into it.
I'm not very technologically savvy and it took me hours of reading the wiki and this forum to actually get a somewhat good grasp of how to exchange USD for BTC.
So I think the solution to this is to make software that is user-friendly enough for your average person to set-up a wallet and exchange BTC.
If this doesn't happen BTC will never expand past the techno-geeks and we will all watch as our BTC value plummets...
