Bitcoin will never takeoff until it ' s completely hassle free . Nobody wants to learn about all this lingo . Nobody wants to learn abotu having to be safe . Nobody gives a shit how it works . They just want dependable money they can easily spend . That ' s what people want from a currency . The bitcoin community the way it is now is different . It ' s got a lot of crackpots that think creating money is the devil , people who want untraceable currency to be able to do illegal transactions , and people that want to use it as a sort of investment . And you know that ' s fine with me . But for Bitcoin to become huge , it needs to be easy , hasslefree , and it needs to have zero learning curve . That ' s just the fact of the matter .
