Wekkel will I think you are right in one sense, but I'm talking about the last month here. Bitcoin is not new, revolutions don't happen because people are seeking more fair treatment, that is something people want but it's not something that gets them to take action. The things that get people to take action are JUSTICE, PLEASURE and PAIN (fear). Some people are happy with the banks as they are, they make enough money and think it works perfectly, but what takes these people to change? Even you Wekkel, had an event of pain that made you start to look at Bitcoin, there are other who are just buying it to make money, they will lose, because it's not the monetary value of Bitcoin that makes it great it's the fact that is an entirely different way of thinking and living, the question is how much are people prepared to leave behind their old ways and move through the "blue door".
