Bitcoin has been around since 2009 and has so far failed to gain any real amount of mainstream adoption. I don't see any compelling reasons why this should change any time soon. To me, Bitcoin is not the internet of money, it's more like the Linux desktop of money. Sure you can argue it has certain benefits over the status quo, such as lower cost and freedom from certain 'evil' corporations, but the general public arguably doesn't care enough about these things to be bothered to make the switch, especially given the relatively high barrier of entry and low amount of third-party support. edit: anyone care to explain why I am being downvoted?
