You would not like what the masses say about bitcoin. Bitcoin was mentioned on some website in the comments, and the poster was teared to shreds by "the masses" who all said it was a pyramid, ponzi, get rich quick and something like that.
In a pyramid the first people who get in get payd big and everyone thereafter get less. In bitcoin the early adapters have 100K+ bitcoin and those who came after fight over scraps. It would be strange if people did not see this.
This is also my biggest problem with bitcoin and why i think it never will be adapted by the masses.
Imagine a merchant selling something of real value on a automated website and accepting bitcoin. Then one of the twinkledudes buy everything he has for 150K
BTC and the value of bitcoin drop to the floor. The merchant will be ruined.
If i was a merchant i would only accept bitcoin if i sold some useless trinkets that people would buy only to prove bitcoin can be used to buy stuff.
As it is now i see bitcoin as a betatest. Someone migt use the data collected to make a strong crypto in the future. A crypto not only for a few lucky, but for everyone.
