    The problem with bitcoin.... or A problem, is you have to be interested in it to use it. I saw a shirt for sale and was quite willing to buy it but they only took bitcoin and I don't know how to convert dollars to bitcoin and the shirt wasn't worth finding out. If people want to use them, they have to tell people how when they are selling something, imho.

    I tried using linux (Xandros) for a while, but concluded that it required me to be a little more of a computer geek than I am interested in being, so I quit using it.

    Likewise, but even moreso, it is unlikely that I'll ever become a bitcoin user. I'm not interested in having to fool around with learning how to even use it.

    I have too many other things to learn that I AM interested in; don't have (want to make) the time to mess with bitcoins.
    Rand can win in 2016 only after the security guards will listen to us rather than the establishment hacks and only after we are able to ensure that the rules are followed and the votes accurately tallied.

    This is known by many Bitcoin developers and the free market is slowly making it easier and easier. There is now a Bitcoin company that has jumped through the hoops in order to work at the same level as paypal and other payment services to the point that they will be able to issue credit cards and take bank deposits for Bitcoins.

    Getting Bitcoins is as easy as going to one of the major banks and making a deposit.

    The reason you cannot just enter your credit card information is because Bitcoin is real money. You could possibly buy a bunch of BTC with your credit card, spend the BTC then just report that your card had been stolen or that the transation was made in error. The credit card company would likely side with you and the guy who sold you his real money would be the one holding the bag.
