Bitcoin Q&A: What is the biggest adoption hurdle?




The biggest technical hurdle to Bitcoin adoption. User interfaces, generational change, understanding how money and specifically network-based currency works.

In some places, Bitcoin is being adopted quite rapidly, protecting their savings against crises.
