Ask HN: What would be needed to make bitcoin accessible for everyone
Bitcoin just stands in it's early stages and still has a high volatility because everyone is uncertain about the future of this new method of payment.
There are still a lot of problems and as stated in this article, we need some killer apps.

I want to ask HN about what apps/services/infrastructure would be needed to make bitcoin happen? What would the ideal bitcoin landscape look like from mobile payments to saving accounts?

Really simple, an easy way of buying and selling them on the fly at almost any time and with minimal to no hassle worldwide. Bitcoin ATMs would be a great way of doing this but i'm thinking fo something as easy as walking into a currency exchange anywhere or something like it and buying some euros for dollars.
Digitally, make buying them as easy as using a credit card (prepaid or not) online to buy an ebook
