I'm not going to say that Bitcoin will never win, but why do you think Bitcoin has already won? I've never even seen it as an available payment method on a site

I'm not going to say that Bitcoin will never win, but why do you think Bitcoin has already won? I've never even seen it as an available payment method on a site, and people employed outside of the tech industry generally haven't heard of it.

Three of the top 1000 websites in the world started accepting bitcoins in the past few months--most notably Wordpress. http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2011/12/bitcoin-bounty-ladder.html http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2011/12/bitcoin-bounty-ladde... Thousands of other sites and hundreds of real life locations accept bitcoins--many exclusively. I get unsolicited questions about Bitcoin from non-tech people who see my posts about it just about every day. The coming Bitcoin update is specifically meant to make Bitcoin much more non-tech friendly. I greatly anticipate swaths of non-tech users buying in very soon. I think it's a little early to say Bitcoin has "won" against Paypal when the BTC market cap only just recently broke $200 Million USD. But it is certainly here to stay. Bitcoin's exponentially increasing global adoption rate all but ensures that it will be around for a long time to come.
