@thecryptofiend Your comment here, "They don't even need to know what a blockchain is or how cryptocurrencies work." I believe is the key to mass adoption.
Most people are clueless as to how the Federal Reserve works, or even how they manage to leverage their power over money into a system that by it's very design controls people by controlling the flow of currency. Many people know nothing about how our currency systems work, but they blindly follow their structures every day. Most don't care how the system works, they only care if their next paycheck will clear and how that in turn will hopefully keep food on their tables...
Sadly for many years ignorance has been equated to bliss. I for one however, feel that our newly budding Age of Information (and the Internet) will gradually change ignorance from a method of indoctrination into a choice one can opt-out of by simply choosing to research it from the comfort of their own homes.
Such a method of self learning was difficult if not all but impossible until the past couple decades and I fully support it in it's entirety 110%.
I worry about the patronizing condescension shown to 'most people' around here. What kind of anarchists want to persuade the ignorant masses to adopt something so that they - the so-called anarchists - can cream off the value thus generated (see all posts on the topic of 'it's a good time to get in' to cryptocurrencies and make loads of cash etc)? Take DV's telling comparison of himself with a young George Soros, for example. Soros broke the Bank of England because he was a good guy fighting the system? Give me a break. He did it to make loads of money.

He also did it with the help of inside intelligence (Soros, I mean).
