>>>> I own BTC, but I'm still wondering what's going to want me to spend it instead of my AmEx for my next purchase.

This is one of the appeals of paper money and credit cards over bitcoins at the moment. You have all the tactile experiences with money and credit cards. With BTC, people can't grasp the algorithm or the fact you can print out the promissory note, but its not the same.

That is called change. You either adapt or die.

There are still people who take printouts of their emails because they prefer paper.
