Guys, being a late comer/outsider (I got into bitcoin in early 2012), I can
tell you that this particular asylum is definitely run by its inmates.
What all the nerdy devs (and I am one so I know) seem unable to comprehend,
is that regular people out there don't wanna learn all this new stuff and
new terminology they simply have no attention span for it.
Simply channelling them to a decent client that
1. Just works (no blockchain downloads and no re-sync)
2. Allows to retain control of the private keys
Would be HUGE for mass adoption.
Old tired argument about "Bitcoin needs your nodes", so we'll channel you
to get bitcoin-qt client is both manipulative and unnecessary (there's
plenty of nodes and NAT'ed home nodes which don't mine are mostly useless
anyways)
P.S. coinbase.com is just another trust-me setup takes your coins in
exchange for IOUs, whereas blockchain.info does let you to retain control
of your private keys.
P.P.S. The reason why coinbase has gotten so big is precisely because they
don't trouble regular lawyers and doctors with all the nonsense but simply
give them a
"buy" and a "sell" button.
