Obviously we are early adopters, normal people would not buy Bitcoins just to spend it. Too complicated process now, but as more jobs will be paid in Bitcoin, the adoption will speed up

Buying an SSD will make BF4 load much faster. And will make your general pc using experience much better. So yes, get an SSD

I'm currently having a rage at stupid people who believe that buying SSD hard drives or upgrading to Windows 8 will make BF4 run faster and with better framerates. Yeah Bitcoin is going to be a huge problem for some people but luckily you have a lot of people using the internet now so if they can learn that they can learn this. It's just going to be people like that principal that will always be morons no matter what technology they're presented with because they can't be bothered to learn about it whereas other people can.
On a side note, that's why early adopters are rewarded. It is not "luck" because we found out about bitcoin before other people. It is because we aren't the people that believe that removing a sticker stop the pc from working

Never underestimate the stupidity of people. True, the general masses wont be adopting Bitcoin in its current state any time soon, but it'll get easier to procure and hold relatively quickly, so hopefully in the future when devices come along making transactions easier and foolproof they'll adopt it. But in the meantime we can continue being smug early adopters
You underestimate the idiocy of people

And you expect these people to use bitcoin? No way they can understand it.
The good thing? We don't need them to understand it.Its their fault if they don't want to learn how to use it.

Once in class we wrote a paper with the school laptops. The laptop had a intel inside sticker what was curved on one of the corners so it hit my arm arm all the time annoingly. I was taking ut off and the teacher said:"Stop! It is there for a reason. The computer might not work without it. Im pretty sure the principal wont like it if we take it off without asking." Really wanted to take it off. But didnt want detention (yeah she threatened me with detention if i took it off.)

Fixed your post for you. The same people use PayPal, credit cards, online banking, VOIP (even if they don't know it), etc. If Bitcoin gets big enough they will use "Bitcoin" as well. The company who can make Bitcoin brain dead simple for the masses will laugh all the way to the wallet.dat. We probably are years away from that but it will be an evolution over time. Will they use the QT reference client, participate as a full node, and maintain regular backups of their wallet.dat protected by a strong passphrase? Of course not but they won't have to.
As much as I think Apple is massively overhyped (and overpriced), you have to give them credit. They are very good at making complex things insanely simple. They just work. Apple is the toaster of the computing world. Nobody reads the instruction manual on a toaster, you plug it in, put bread it, and
Nobody has made the Bitcoin wallet equivalent of a toaster yet but it will happen. It probably won't be trust free, because zero trust means 100% responsibility but if it is backed by a big company, with an insurance policy most people won't care.
+1 You said exactly as I thought

They want to be protected, if it is backed by a big company, with an insurance policy they will gladly use it.
