Yeah I know, so are we really being critical of Bitcoin (I know it has lots of problems, let's not start another Monero is better discussion), or are we stating that the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to adopt a new currency, unless imposed from the state?

That's because most people use cash money primarily as a currency (trading token) and measure, not as a savings vehicle. As long as the value of the money stays relatively stable over the course of a couple of months, it works fine as a currency. You just have to spend it within those months. Most people and businesses scrape by, from month to month, so they just don't really give a shit about inflation unless it goes above 50% per annum or so.

Coming full circle. We can not have nice things when the people are retarded. But "the people are retarded". (OSHO)
