I believe bitcoin will go mainstream, now a days people are becoming sick and tired of the traditional banking system. The banks are nothing more than glorified loan sharks who are only interested in lining their own pockets and the regulatory agency is even more corrupt; bailing out the banks with ta payer money. Bitcoins are a form of freedom as they allow us to perform transactions, buy goods and services without a centralized banking system; a system created by the people, for the people. I personally enjoy using coin.mx; although their rates are a bit high, the transactions/deposit and other services are extremely quick. Kudos to bitcoins and we will see what the future holds.
