Bitcoin has two major issues to overcome. The first is the fraud. People have lost their life savings to places like BTC trader and PB mining et al. All of the ponzi schemes and outright thefts scare people away faster than any media spun story about Isis or child pornography being related to bit coin.
i'm with you...
but remeber...
mt-gox, bitstamp and other story there was just for human error or unsuitability, superficiality.
Not for bitcoin security flaw...
Secondly, we have utterly failed to educate the public on the advantages of bitcoin. We talk about bitcoin technology and how it is the "internet of money" but as a day to day thing people know very little about it and even less about how to actually use it. I place blame primarily on the bitcoin foundation for that. They are supposed to be our voice to the world but all they seem to do is enrich themselves and allow corrupt individuals to create some token credibility by selling them memberships.
for each type of change always are taken 2 factors:
one that offers a new standard, and one that is willing to use it.
Probably, a few people have understood the importance of decentralization.
The community should engage much in spreading the real innovations introduced by bitcoin.
