Yeah i've done some research on bitcoin (prices) it's pretty low, considering. Everyone i talk to IRL has never heard of btc. Sucks that there are so many people that don't know about it.
It's been through the wars. It's undeniable that people are more willing to spend if they've gained 'free' money but I've bought things at all price levels.
Some regard the lack of knowledge as a boon so they can stay in stealth phase for longer. That's a bit silly. It's going to be a long haul regardless.
