Sums up my thoughts exactly. You should always explain to people that bitcoin is not a finished product when introducing it to them.

A nice read. However I do not agree with that part:

Quote
There is no real shortcut to this process. We Bitcoiners think we know where the market is headed. It gets frustrating for us that it is not there already. But if you think about it, we are only 5 years into this process, and the progress is actually amazing.

For me it's not frustrating. Progress in adoption is actually happening surprisingly fast. I'm afraid that adoption is too fast for technology to keep up pace.
It's important to have a sound technological base. That's more important than speed of adoption.

Required reading, because so many comments here seem oblivious to how technological innovation actually happens and how messy of a process it is.

Another post on the front page right now asks why Bitcoin isn't more popular, as if the insane ongoing growth of 10x per year is not enough. Read this article to understand how much we take for granted about the technologies we already enjoy.
