Bitcoin is volatile right now. This lack of stability probably would make it difficult for every day use (Joe blow trying to buy groceries and paying a different amount every week).
The general public may find it difficult to utilize bitcoin. There are applications like bitpay which make it easier for the consumer. Smart phones also have custom apps and other tools for the consumer. (Additional infrastructure is being built right now)
More places are accepting bitcoin. I read an article from one of the ladies that said only 1 guy used bitcoin (but it brought a lot of attention from customers and media).
Do you think bitcoin and other crypto currencies will continue to just be another payment option, or is it destined to be a major player like paypal and visa? On reddit there was an article about bitcoin being set to surpass paypal in volume
