The necessary innovations in my perspective would be:

  • Easy to Buy/Sell Bitcoins (make it as easy as loading money on to a card or mobile), so that a vast majority of people can engage with it.
  • Adoption, the more merchants adopt Bitcoins, the more people are likely to use it. Build it and they will come.
  • Crypto currency for the immediate 3-5 years will not be competing with the fiat currencies, but will draw a parallel. For this parallel to happen, transactions need to happen (buying and selling of products/services and paying them with crypto currencies). Until and unless people don't start trading with it, the much needed traction will not happen.
