Why, isn’t that the whole point of Bitcoin—for everyone to use it as they see fit? Ordinary people will never use Bitcoin, or anything else for that matter, unless they’re told to. Most of them don’t think; they just follow the crowd. If you believe they’ll figure out what Bitcoin is on their own, you’re sorely mistaken. They understand fiat money, which they use, just as little. Any state-level adoption of Bitcoin, to me, signals to these people that this thing isn’t going away. I’m not saying I like it, but that’s how it’s going to happen.
