If bitcoin is ever to become mainstream then it needs to sort out its achilles heel. That is buying bitcoin in the first place. The process should be so easy that even your gran can do it.
Unfortunately at the moment its way to complicated.

People won't buy bitcoin if they don't understand how to and if none buys bitcoin no one will spend bitcoin except geeks and criminals.

dont agree with you.you know now,you have much money ,but your money is not in your hands,they are been deposited into bank by you.the same as the BTC in future, many people will deposit the BTC into the BTC bank Grin

,Do not need to take Bitcoin in hands.

When it is possible, the bitcoin bank should be secure as cold wallet.

I have bought from localbitcoins and bitbargain however you pay a premium for this and it's not always easy. I bought some and the seller didn't send my bitcoin money got stuck in escrow or something.
Anyway, the point is my grandparents should be able to do it.

I agree, that's why I've started a site that makes it pretty damn easy to buy & sell if you have a UK bank account.
