my (nontechy) mother in law mentioned them to me yesterday, I (techy) bought 2 kebabs last night with bitcoin (through takeaway.com). I think you're right that mainly techy people have them at the moment, but I also think that with the right friendly UX exchange we could soon be approaching a tipping point.
Another thing; I didn't buy from my usual takeaway because they didn't accept bitcoin. So bitcoin acceptance was the primary factor in making me choose a new takeaway.
- alfiejohn_ 13y agoWhen someone without knowledge in the markets tells you to buy something, it's time to get out. They either heard that golden advice either on TV, the radio or read it in a newspaper but the common denominator was that it was probably a paid ad by someone who wants to offload as much as possible to the next sucker^Winvestor. So remember, when your bus drivers or barista tells you to buy Microsoft shares, it's probably best to consider Put options.
- user24 13y ago> When someone without knowledge in the markets tells you to buy something You're probably right, but she wasn't saying "buy it" just mentioning its existence. And the buy/sell mentality only really applies if you're planning on "cashing out" at some point.
