I don't feel like Bill Gates yet. But, I really have hope that bitcoin will progress in the same was as Microsoft and very soon become mainstream. I think that very promising time is ahead of us ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Watching the video gives me the hope and inspiration that one day when we look back what we have done, it's all actually worthwhile. I can understand how hard it is to get the message across because i encounter the same situation like him as well. Don't worry guys.. the day will come when bitcoin will finally reach mainstream.

A year ago the responses I got were "its for criminals and drug dealers". So much headway has been made in the past year, but over the weekend heard the same thing "drug dealers/criminals"...sigh ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Fuck me people are stupid and yes, I feel exactly the same, some people I get along with well already trust me and obviously went and looked up what I was talking about it but others were like that ignorant tosser. What amazes me is people seem to think because they're in a mob they're automatically correct about something with that journalist acting in such away and getting cheers from an even more stupid crowd.
If there is one thing that science and mathematics has as a mortal enemy I would have to say it's willful stupidity, there are people out there who are actually proud to be morons, it happened with the earth being round and revolving around the sun and it's happening now with the internet and Bitcoin.

Hahaha that is amazing. It fully reflects how i feel when speaking to most people about Bitcoins. I am shocked and confused as to how there are so many people with so many different responses on what Bitcoin is and what it can do. I would say thus far 1 out of every 20 people - that even know anything about bitcoins - really know whats going on, if that!
I am sure this will change in time and i guess it does not matter so much that they understand how it all works - as most non technical people have no idea how the internet or Tor works for example - but more being open to it and giving it a go.

I don't really feel like Gates because nobody laughs at my face when I tell them about BTC, that's because I only talk to mature people about this. The majority of people I know can't understand what BTC is and you can't really blame them. When you try to research about BTC there's a ton of articles and news about how bad BTC is.
It's all about opinions though, you can't force a person to believe in BTC and you can't be sure it's gonna succeed either. I've yet to see people criticizing BTC without knowing anything about it, even morons do a bit of research before they start btching about something. Some people just don't wanna know anything about BTC, and that's ok, being ignorant doesn't make them morons or anything.

I currently don't feel like Bill Gates but I might in the future if it hits 10k a coin. I hope that day comes so I can say 'told you so' to all my friends and family. I hope it doesn't come at the cost of complete financial collapse, though.

It is hard to explain the mining and technical aspect of bitcoin to anyone. I concentrate on the uses and the advantages of bitcoin over fiat and credit card.

I'm actually surprised at the reactions to making fun of computers in 1995. I was a pretty heavy internet user back in 1991. By 1995, I was already using it for a majority of my entertainment and communicating with friends.
I guess one day I look forward to saying that I was surprised by people's reactions to Bitcoin in 2015. I was a heavy Bitcoin user back in 2011. By 2015, I was already using it for a majority of my purchases.

No. There are tons of video games with virtual currency in them and a lot of people completely understand the concept. There have been online banking payment systems for years and years. There are a ton of mobile payment solutions that charge 0% fees that are currently superior to Bitcoin(in terms of no fees only of course). Apple Pay and Google Wallet are going to dominate everything and a lot of people are blindly ignoring it. BTC is fine for the people who know technology.

Not really. My mom doesn't get Bitcoin. She understood Windows with ease. UI makes a huge difference.

There are system with no direct fee from customer side. But they have operational costs, and the seller or someone else pay them
