Bitcoin is like digital cash. If there's no physical money and you can only pay with credit card or payment systems connected to your bank account (so fully traceable), then demand for bitcoin could be huge. It could be main (if not the only) way to make/accept payments for those without bank account, those who don't want to fully rely on their bankers and those who want their financial activity to remain anonymous (for whatever reason).
I want to be optimistic, but I don't believe that bitcoin will become more sucesfull from one day to anoter. The general population needs time to understand and accept bitcoin's advantages. Most people see digitalization of payments through credit cards as a positive thing. We don't, I'm pretty sure most people here strongly believe that bitcoin is by far a better alternative to credit cards for money tranfering transactions. But good luck educating others.
True. But in the theoretical scenario, when there's no cash money, lots of people will be actively looking for alternatives. So no need to convince or educate anyone, they'll do it themselves (sort of like Mr Bitcoin from 'Rise and rise of bitcoin', who managed to "lern the geek stuff").
And I don't see anything wrong with digitalisation of payments through cc,
as long as you're able to use alternatives, such as cash or bitcoin.
