And I have the bad feeling that we missed a one in a life time chance when we were in the spotlight to gain more people to use bitcoins.

Is that a feeling you would be willing to bet on?

For me it would be a safe bet
missed chance at least I won the bet / no missed chance at least my bitcoins will be worth more

In your case you risk to end up with a double loss. Smiley

Well that's one way of looking at it, but it's wrong.

I am willing to bet 1 BTC that within two years there will be at least 10 times as many people using Bitcoin than use it today, as indicated by the number of client downloads. If you really think it's a safe bet, and you really think we missed our chance to get users, put up.

Client downloads number is worth *******.
And , you assume a mass adoption with 10x number of people in two years? Are you joking?

We currently have 55k transactions a day (just double from the lowest point in 2012) , so 550k would be that amazing?
And remember , transactions outside the top100 (sd/pools etc.) are just half of it.
