RE: BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTIONS - Chart Display - Part 3 - The S curve (More good news!)
Another good post. But I disagree with this:
"I'm not going to explain blockchains here, if you don't know what they are, then you honestly shouldn't have anything to do with Bitcoin yet"
I think for Bitcoin to get beyond the early adopter stage and go mainstream people will not need to know anything about blockchain. They will want it to be easy to use and secure. That's about it. All the technical stuff is magic pixie dust as far as they're concerned.
I consider the concept (not the detail) of an immutable but publicly accessible ledger to be a prerequisite to comprehending why blockchains are important. Without that knowledge, you couldn't distinguish a blockchain DApp from a regular computer programme. If people can't do that, then product differentiation will never occur and blockchains won't catch on. Joe Soap must know a "little" about why his e.g. blockchain lending platform, can't cook the books and defraud him of his money.
Perhaps a lending platform was a bad example: Bitconneeeeect!
