Is arithmetic difficult?

> About 0,000001% of the world population is currently interested in bitcoins.

This is about 70 people. So author can't even be bother to make up a better number.

> Getting a bitcoin into your virtual wallet, which looks like “1PKkR3aXmSGNwwwqJu5ph4UcY1xaesumjr” is actually pretty complex. It’s not user-friendly at all.

coinbase.com is easy.

> If we want 0,1% of the world (700 million people)

More bad math.
