Goldman Sachs survey

[galbros]

First, the fact that Goldman cared enough to do a survey at all is a good thing.

I think the results are encouraging.  I'm actually more curious about the 5% who used it and wont use it again.  I wonder what happened, if they got scammed or if they held coins and watched their value drop or what.

People born in 2015 will grow up in a cashless world where Bitcoin will be second nature to them. Im kinda jealous, I wish I was born today, but im not that old, and the fact I already know about Bitcoin and own some puts me so much ahead of the pack of the future generations.

I guess is up to what your age is, me being on my late 20's well 29 actually even tho i didnt get to mine bitcoin early and im currently holding on double digits the only thing I'm jealous about is not being here from the beginning, in the next 30 years I'll be on my 60's and the movement of bitcoin could be crazy or the worlds #1 economy uniting the world together other bitcoin.

Those are probably given free bitcoin or collected bitcoin from faucets and never actually used it. I can't imagine anyone who found out about bitcoin, cannot see its potential and could boldly say never to use it again.

I personally know some of my friends, who have vowed that they will never ever use Bitcoin gain in their lives. Some of them lost quite lot of their coins (one of them lost more than BTC100) when Karpeles stole the Gox coins. And then there are two or three guys, whose wallets were stolen by hackers, using keyloggers and trojans.

i am sorry to hear it but their decision is stupid!
Would they stop using cash if they were mugged in the street?
Would they stop using a car if they had an accident and broke a leg?

They learnt a hard lesson from using bitcoin. The security issue is the biggest one we are facing. There are a lot of scams and hacks around crypto world, which is the barrier for the massive adoption. They need to be resolved for the masses to be comfortable to hold bitcoin!
