Education will let people know that they don't have to purchase an entire coin, that they can purchase micro chunks and participate as much as they care too. There have been attempts to do this with stocks although it has only happened as various types of money market funds. The ability to do so at such a low cost with little or no cost transaction fees makes this extremely attractive as not only an investment, but as a useable currency. We are at the ground floor now. Does anyone really believe that Bitcoin will not grow in value? Especially with a finite amount of coin completed by 2032? There will be other coins like Litecoin for instance, but Bitcoin will be the gold standard. People purchase things because they perceive a value. That is across the board. It is worth educating yourself about BTC. This is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. Take it or leave it.
