At this point, people will adopt whether they'll want to or not.
Try telling that to an elderly woman who owned a smokeshop in downtown - First thing she said was Coins? wha wha wha? Coins like this?: (Pulls out a Sacajawea dollar) I said, No No bitcoins: The Future! - Instant Transactions with zero fees and instant transfer to your wallet - She then says - Oh no I don't use the internet at all. I'm not interested in that mess!
It was mentioned by the article writer that Bitcoiners' being in the community we are in, have the tendency to create a closed feedback loop (we all only see the good things in bitcoin and thus will only talk about these good things to each other over and over again until everyone shares the same feelings and beliefs) where we all see things as cheery and altruistic and positive - there will always be those who are successful with the current fiat system and they will not adopt until its too late (if bitcoin is shown to take over as the primary reference currency for transacting goods and services)

I'm with you there. This is the impetus behind the Bitcoin specie. Broadening the acceptance of bitcoin with a tangible pocket change. Like the silver dollars were in the US between the times we had central banking, and they increase confidence for the new adopters.

Exploit it for bitcoin's benefit. Really trying to keep my nose on the trail for small biz that could gain from btc. I've been having the idea of wanting to create a "bitmob" thread here or possibly to start working with small biz and organizing bitmobs as the couple "living on bitcoin" is doing. Also if there are a few more price spikes...it may give people a reason to want to start spending a little bit of their coin rather than hoarding. Hoping that we see more people willing to part ways with their bitcoin for goods and services sooner than later - if btc hits 800 dollars a coin or more soon and people are still unwilling to spend it, how else could we increase adoption - that's where I'm at right now.
