Of course Bitcoin is not very diverse at this point, but it also took several years until women started using computers and the internet (only social networks like FB, Twitter, Tumblr managed to get most women to use the internet every day)
People are excited about new things, but Bitcoin is still too complicated for most people (like old email addresses:

I agree completely. What matters most is whether or not the technology is good, and if it is, then everything else will inevitably follow. Even way back in the 1980's when the Internet was still in its infancy, the underlying technology was good and those who realized this were its first innovators. It just took a little bit of time for others to realize this and set up businesses around it. After all, innovation encourages further innovation. By the 1990's, this process was pretty much in full swing and the eventual rise of services like Facebook and Twitter as well as their adoption by all levels of society was pretty much inevitable.
The same is also true for not just Bitcoin or the Internet but many other examples of technology as well. Computers, air travel, automobiles, etc. and all follow a similar pattern.
