What Would Make People Gain Much More Interest in Bitcoin?

- Full acceptance by PayPal?
- Interest from Apple?
- Centralised, safe exchange?

What do you think bitcoin needs for the major interest worldwide?

Those options are a sell out. You just need more people fully converting to crypto but so simple an idiot can use it.

It's easy... another bubble forming will attract a lot more people. Every bubble has been accompanied by a huge influx of new people getting to know Bitcoin. As soon as the bubble pops, they conclude that they made a mistake, until they realize a new bubble forms a year later. People who are in the game a bit longer recognize this and stay in Bitcoin.

Would hold true if there was a bubble in 2014, but there wasn't.

What Would Make People Gain Much More Interest in Bitcoin?

- Full acceptance by PayPal?  Would be a start, but remember this will likely only be downward pressure on BTC unless Paypal where holding a significant portion of BTC payments in BTC.
- Interest from Apple?  Couldn't hurt.
- Centralised, safe exchange?  If universally accepted there would be no need for exchanges.  A centralized exchange for an open-source distributed ledger is quite possibly the worst possible scenario. 

What do you think bitcoin needs for the major interest worldwide?  More legitimate people (i.e. not trying to scam anybody) spreading the word and educating people about the pro's and con's of bitcoin.

the last bubble was from end of 2013/start of 2014. And when Gox was collapsing the media talked about BTC almost every day and so.

Anyway if you replace a year later to in some time everything will be right

What Bitcoin needs is stability. There is no reason for the average American to switch to Bitcoin after using fiat for all his life if the value can suddenly reduce by 30 percent in a week. Centralizing the currency is defeating the purpose of it. For Bitcoin to hit mainstream, there has to an incentive to dump fiat for BTC. There isn't much to be perfectly honest. As far as making improvements to start, improve security. Most people don't have computer knowledge to secure a Bitcoin wallet from wallet stealers and thieves. Leaving Bitcoin on exchanges has come to be a problem because of the strict regulation exchanges provide (and sometimes security weaknesses). I love Bitcoin, I just don't believe it's something the general public will adopt.

Stability is the key.

I am happy and I'm sure others too when we have only 1 global exchange thus 1 orderbook.

One global exchange, led by the most narcistic motherfucker on earth it will be. What a retardian idea
No, it need to spread like fire.
In the end we don't even need exchanges, it should be currency never to be exchanged for fiat every again.

Currency never to get converted again..could work..though its too early for it.! Would atleast take 4 to 5 years for it to become a super power n world wide recognized.!

Yes but Bitcoin needs to be seen as a potential alternative to fiat currency and bank accounts which it will as the banks keep stealing more money from the people and the fiat system support dictatorships.

Well there is high levels of unemployment. And there is always little jobs going. Combine the two. Wala - you have a significant proportion of society interested in making some money in BTC. Similar to that 5er website. It's a neutral for BTC price too. Employers buy BTC, employees sell BTC for cash. No downward pressure.

Make it trendy among popular people, it's all that matters. If they see rich famous people using it it will become cool, just like twitter.

Not these....Keeping Bitcoin in bull market is enough to attract attention.  Money is always the poison for the people.
