I see many idealists still thinking in a future rise. Why? The only real rise of bitcoin was due to a bubble, simply a bubble which lasted all 2013? from that bubble we always thought that was a trend, it was not. We and I were all super enthusiastic.
If it was just a bubble what makes you think it can't happen again? I think many people are still 'super enthusiastic' about bitcoin but people need patience.
None could forecast that after almost 2.years bitcoin was worth less than before.
And two years before that nobody could forecast that it would be worth what it was then.
Tell yourself the truth do not try to convince about what you would like it to be. Actually people are NOT interested in using bitcoin.
Yes they are. I am and so is 99.9% of other people here. The general public may not be interested in bitcoin right now but they might be in the future of will slowly get on board.
Yes banks are evil, sure, devil itself, but people like simplicity, many people are...how can I say? stupid and get used to their simple things.
Bitcoin will get simpler. Just like computers did. Don't need to be a genius to work one nowadays do you?
Bitcoin will still be used for some years by some nerds, and it will get slowly less and less valuable until it will be finally forgotten, buried in some history book in the chapter ".utopias".
They said that about the internet. Maybe bitcoin will be a niche for geeks but I'll still use it whether it goes mainstream or not.
