Post by: killercomet on December 01, 2013, 03:16:23 PM
Now that the USA and China seem to be benevolent and that the protocols up until now have proved to be secure. What seem to be the biggest hurdles to mass adoption?

Ignorant technophobic plebs probably  ;D.

Massive throttling by regulation and money laundering arrests could make it difficult and scare people away. More and more merchants accepting BTC/cryptos will quicken mass adoption.

I've often thought what'd happen if he did that. I'm sure it wouldn't be good. What if he is just an elaborate troll or is disgusted by the beast he has created and decides to kill it by dumping?

World banks will do everything to stop bitcoin.

People don't realize the power from the US and other governments that will not accept a virtual coin that was not created by them.

Also right now is impossible to get your money from bitcoins because there is not enough money and because all exchange companies work in the shadows

It is a sure thing that the U.S will do their best to prevent bitcoin from being exchanged to dollars.

At this point, money laundering, criminal activities, price volatility. And before somebody jumps to any conclusions, I know that USD is used also for first two choices, but no one will question USD.
