United States != The World Having said that, it does look good though! Title: Re: Critical Mass in 2013 Post by: ElectricMucus on January 31, 2013, 02:48:08 PM This aint no fissile material.

Title: Re: Critical Mass in 2013 Post by: Piper67 on January 31, 2013, 02:54:32 PM Hmmm... I agree that we might be reaching some kind of "point of no return", but it's based on the amount of press being generated about Bitcoin and the tenor and quality of the articles (generally speaking). Not sure how useful that map is in gauging this critical mass.

https://localbitcoins.com/country/us Check out Germany or the UK as well... it's not just the US (although USA does have a head start..). Quote ...it's based on the amount of press being generated about Bitcoin and the tenor and quality of the articles (generally speaking). Not sure how useful that map is in gauging this critical mass. No. These are not people Googling Bitcoin. These are buyers and sellers. It is a very good indicator of Bitcoin adoption, availability and liquidity... much better than Google trends or other oft cited stats. Title: Re: Critical Mass in 2013 Post by: Thursday on January 31, 2013, 05:43:26 PM That doesn't tell the whole story. Many or in my case all of those buyers and sellers are old and defunct. I have five in my area contacted every single one months ago, and still have got nothing back. The only way I found someone local was through these forums.

Title: Re: Critical Mass in 2013 Post by: marcus_of_augustus on January 31, 2013, 07:08:41 PM Barrier to entry is still too high for widespread adoption, imo ... but the s/ware tools are developing. Kind of interesting how it is self-selecting that the more technical savvy users can get in earlier ... and as the tools are made available for easier entry it spreads to a wider group of lesser abilities and so on, in stages.

Title: Re: Critical Mass in 2013 Post by: Herodes on February 01, 2013, 12:04:38 AM Remember the ECB's report ECB rather thinks they're responsible for everything money related.
