While the number of people ready to use Bitcoin (TIKER: BTC.EXANTE) and Ethereum (TIKER: ETH/USD.BITFINEX) is growing on daily basis, there are several factors keeping cryptocurrencies from becoming a popular means of payment.
Volatility of the market or the desire the keep the assets as long as possible to make bigger gains are not even the main reasons.
