People becoming aware of BTC

[beetcoin]

What I find interesting is that everyone who I have met that has heard of it, just puppet's someone else's opinion, without understanding it.  Like they'll call it a ponzi, they'll p raise it, but they still don' tknow much about it.  Soon t hough the information will get out there.

it's usually "isn't it that thing that thieves and criminals use for drugs and stuff?"

I guess.  Although that argument is easily deflated.  It's amazing how people get all t heir ideas from television.  I watch maybe 1 hour of television per week, MAX.  Not because I don't like TV, but because anything worth watching on TV, can be downloaded online, without commercials.  

this is my personal opinion but.. we are in the information age, and there's way too much of it. there are too many things to kept yourself aware of that many people just want to consolidate their "thinking" to news organizations or celebrities. there's just so much fucking information and news going into people's heads. if it's not the constant checking of twitter or facebook, it's the news channels or the news sites.

if everyday you hear so much shitty things happening, you're bound to become desensitized to it.

Problem is though that everybody I hear about it speaks on it as an investment opportunity. If nobody sees it as something to pay groceries with, the bubble will burst soon enough as it is actually useless.

no, btc will be used for high value buys, houses, cars, holidays,and financial settlement and safe havens store of value, money transfer, paying for high value services. That's worth much more than the groceries, coffee etc transactions, eg there was a $150 Million worth of BTC moved the other. How can you do that in any other financial system for cash. Any user has this power

Hopefully it will be used for everyday payments to in a couple of years, otherwise the everyday user would not have any real use of it!

every days users will use it. It will be like an investment / store of value, that you can immediately sell or use if you choose, and how a coin like EMU will solve the every day use

Than gold is also able to be used in everyday, you can sell it on every street corner these days. Bitcoin has te be an option next to bank transfer, credit card and paypal. Once the exchange swings are cut, especially paypal might have a strong competitor!

Sure, you have to specialize sometimes in what you wish to learn about.  You just can't read EVERYTHING.  Although it's a bit sad that some people devote 90% of their brain power to learn about celebrities, what they where, who the fuck, and what they are going to call their children.
