Bitcoin will slowly start to become more understood and appreciated overtime. A lot of people are sceptical of it due to it being decentralised and directly traceable. As soon as you tell someone what happened with Silk Road they assume it's sole purpose is to be used as a currency for illegal transactions. Tell that that virgin galactic are accepting it and they think the opposite. I think a lot of people are just confused and don't know what to believe. Now that it has passed the $1000 mark people should start to take it more seriously.
