RE: Why is crypto still not adopted by the masses?
Think about it. Was the internet really widespread in 2000? I wouldn't say so.
Besides, not everything about crypto will be the exact same as it has been for the internet... but there are a lot of similarities.
Crypto certainly has a long ways to go still, but Steemit is a great platform to get people into crypto. It works mostly just like any other social blogging site, except they can get paid for participation. Then they will realize that even though the actual technical parts of cryptocurrencies are extremely difficult to understand, in terms of general usage, anyone can do it.
This is true. Its also highly likely that bitcoin will sit in the background for many services, Visa is testing this with car hire so the end user doesn't even know they are using bitcoin. These types of services will become very common over time. Mass adoption doesn't just mean everyone goes out and buys bitcoin (of course that would help) There are other things that need to fall into place too half the world's population does not have a bank account and unlike traditional payment methods bitcoin (or cryptocurrencies in general) would be extremely practical for them. The bitcoin network could not handle mass adoption not this second these fixes won't come overnight doing something wrong could break everything. The web also had its fair share of scalability issues in its early days
