Let me ask you guys something, I'm fairly new here.
So assuming I'm a total noob and wanted to "try" these coins out and buy something, oh say at New Egg where I'm looking at some computer parts. And it says right there, pay with bitcoins, how exactly would I go about doing this?
Where can you instantly buy coins, and then pay for goods without having a wallet, or computer..
Basically what I'm saying is, unless your involved in the coin community, you can't. So I see that as the growth problem in one aspect.
You know, I'm not even sure about actually buying hard goods, but my experience with sending Bitcoin has always been:
1) Get somebody's Bitcoin address
2) Click on the Send tab of your wallet
3) Plug in the address you want to send to and the amount you want to send in the appropriate fields
4) Hit send.
Ok. So how would your mom or say your sister pay for their coffee with bitcoins? They have no idea about that, the only thing they know is what they heard on the news about such and such( bad or good) and what their friends might have said.
It's like the pizza commercial i see, the guys driving down the road and says "What do you want me to do, stop the car, download an app, register it, look for a place to buy, make my order, check the order, and then go pick it up?"
Day to day, people want to walk in a store, pay and go. Simple.
Until this can get off the computer so to speak, and into daily lives, the growth has slowed. Basically, it's either investors, miners, or hobbiest at this point.
