All these bitcoin believers need to focus on three things.

1) Replicating the ease of use seen in Apple pay.

2) Making it untraceable out of the box.

3) Making it impossible to steal.

Try to buy something illegal with bitcoin and the only reason you won’t be arrested immediately is because someone has made the choice to watch you instead.

It's pseudoanonymous to begin with. If you understand how it works you can make it anonymous. You think bitcoin needs to adapt to get more users. I say bitcoin picks up the best users.

Bitcoin is the easiest money on the planet to trace. The records exist everywhere at all times and forever. If your identity is linked to your device, what ever you do with that bitcoin is linked to your SSN.

If an anonymous device is in the same general location as your registered device, am your Bitcoin transactions are linked to your SSN.

Yet the price signals it's doing ok. Good luck with the gold and silver tho!

I own bitcoin too. I’m just pointing out the road blocks keeping it from going mainstream.

The only reason the dark web is allowed to exist is so the NSA can learn your secrets.
