What are the incentives for founders of protocols and first-mover advantage? Why is the user experience design of ATMs important? What are Bitcoin’s biggest obstacles to success? Why is predicting adoption trends hard?
These questions are from the community event at Paseo la Plaza in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which took place on January 29th 2019: https://antonopoulos.com/event/buenos-aires-event/

Long term believers adopting bitcoin come in a very organic way for me:
Only 55% of people currently have internet access
The trend of internet usage is going upwards – average person online 6-8 hours
Trend of Internet information beating mainstream information
Increasing concerns about trust government/bank – trend is growing to distrust them more
Increasing amount of people becoming tech savvy
Many of these roads lead to Bitcoin.
Price bubble spikes from halvings also help but also cause confusion.

Mycelium is a wallet that comes to mind when Andreas says that wallets abandoned users
Dear Andreas, I am a life science researcher who is interested in Bitcoin as a way to transform Humanity. I recently wrote an introductory document for a Mexican NGO I am volunteering for. I was wondering if you would have the time to review my document? It is at the moment in Spanish but I can translate it to English for you. Thank you Jose Farias
Here’s a (possible) new market to try and share blockchain with. Carnival workers in America. They’re all from South America sending money to their family back home.
I take interest and want to be involved in the crypto market because I want to see that really useful applications that genuinely improves people's lives without strings.
I am not a coder, trader, business man or anything that could possibly contribute to this space other than big creative ideas.
Can an average Joe contribute with creative thought for the builders to build and be included in the renumeration?
Would a long term goal to transition into a resource based economy ever be given some time to explore how to overcome come the technical, legal and social challenges?

Imagine a cave, says Socrates, very far underground and with a long passage leading out into the daylight.
If you ask me, adoption is only possible if you integrate a wallet into a messaging app. After all, messaging was the first application on any mobile phone, other than the phone itself.
