Why isn't crypto going mainstream?

[n691309]

I'm personally not sure why Crypto isn't going mainstream yet since i hear it all over the news. 

I recently read an article from TheNextWeb and they mention Bitcoin and Ethereum will be everywhere? - Heh how soon will that be.

How many people do you think are already aware about cryptocurrency globally ? We are also still at the adoption phase with a whole lot of development still going on gradually, governments are still contemplating and we are already talking about going mainstream ?

It is one step at a time, and we won't even need to ask all these questions as we will glaringly see it ourselves. Rome was not built in a day and we cannot expect cryptocurrencies to take a huge turn just within a year.

A lot of hurdles still need to be taken: technical, legal, usability, marketing... for crypto to really break through.
However market cap is x10 in the last year and imo more and more of a framework/eco-system is developing. Especially for BTC and ETH. Might take a couple more years but hopefully we'll get there.

Crypto currency isn't going mainstream because it is hard for them to understand the meaning of Bitcoin and what is the value of it.Some people always give a negative opinion about it.

It will be - you have to remember although bitcoin has been around for years and has only recently had recognition in the media in a positive light (ignore silk road) the past two years.

People do not understand block chains and cryptocurrencies, once it gets adopted you will see a rise in mainstream and new money flooding in.

It is just a matter of time when it will become a matter of necessity for business, government agency and many organization will start looking for most crypto project that are developing product that make money for their owner and make life easy for client and customers .

At this point in time I think it's too technical, and as of recently there is a pretty high entry price.

Crypto does not go through because it is not common to anyone and some do not know this crypto, perhaps in the next few years it might be known, but if it is named and mailed

Perhaps some already got burned in 2013 during the previous hype ?
I know a guy that had that happen.
Get it ?

You are stupid noobs yammerin' on in your greedy short sighted ICO facade chamber.
Keep thinking you know things noobs.  

EDIT:
I lost count how many times some kid told me in crypto he/she found some coin "boring".
Every time i hear that i am blown away.
It's a currency.. use it.

Calling yourself an "investor" ?
Then act like it.
Show me an investard that buys into ICO's for long term support.
It doesn't happen.. they buy and they dump.. for profits ASAP.
Bitcoin / FIAT profits.
While talking shit like an idiot every step of the way..

Mainstream ?
What is there to get mainstream ?
Buying shitcoins for ROI's ?
Not everyone wants to get involved in shady sketchy bullshit for BTC profits.

I think when the public sees what is going on here they smell FUD.
And so they should.
Shouldn't an outsider watching this stuff have Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about it all ?
Seems appropriate to me.

I think there are only 2 ways that crypto currencies can become more universally accepted in the world we live in. Firstly, more stability in the value of the coin. People want to know that the value doesn’t dramatically change from day to day activities. Secondly, more adoption by big retailers such as Amazon or Walmart. We need to have more places to be able to spend crypto in order for people to take it more seriously.
