I think social trading apps / websites are the way forward - get friends helping each other with the learning curve, and P2P transactions well away from centralised exchanges.

I built CoinTouch to find friends of friends that trade crypto currency. It's been live since February and has 1700 users now.

There's a critical mass on CoinTouch such that most new signups see orders within their (two degree) social network. FB and Google+ are supported, and all transactions are P2P. No fees.

Feedback welcome.
