First comment, go easy on me.

Have you seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnm4xFC2xNo ?

I think the second guy at the end of the video raises an important question. Why use this over any other currency? If you are worried about the "control" of the said currency why not use a more "free" one like Swiss francs?

I am worried that Bitcoin will never be used as a standard if a regular, Facebook user, can't manage to get his hands on it, and afterwards use it. It's a catch 22 in my opinion.

Sure it's easy for IT people to use it, but my mom doesn't even know about PayPal for instance. And I am sure she is not the only one.
