Normies don't see credit card fees or work outside the country they live in and they don't have low time-preference.
However, if it makes sports betting easier, that's huge. Btw, on that note, I just discovered that FreeBitcoin has NFL betting.

We see the problem with that, but people are used to it, so they don't care.
