just a quick search gave the following, which may be helpful to many

https://coinmap.org
http://bitcoinrestaurants.net/
http://spendbitcoins.com/places/
http://usebitcoins.info

Also Bitcoin ATM map

And

http://pizzaforcoins.com/

perfect idea, its more thinking like this is what we need,
you could take it a step further and just have bitcoin map app of every outlet that accepts bitcoin
probably someone on it already, if anyone knows such services please do share.

but more thinking like this whats needed

Maybe we can setup a "localpizza.com" to help people look for pizza shops that accept bitcoins...

If you click on give someone some bitcoins, in the poll,
Please state what you would then show that person what to do with their BTC

Its all good showing them how you can give them a few satoshi
but then what can they then do with them ?

For many that might not know, May22nd marks the day the first pizza's were bought with bitcoin, marking the first real world transaction.
the pizza's were bought for 10,000 BTC, more details can be found if you search. (sorry lazy i know)

I constantly read comments from others about how many btc you holding ? whats your magic number to cashout ?
which really annoys me as none of the people commenting are actually trying to help btc adoption,
what many do not realize is when btc is adopted by the masses, you will never want to cash out.

Now with May 22nd upon us, EDIT: now just passed.
i want to suggest somethings we can do,
and also ask what else we can do to help mass adoption,
Bitcoin needs a KUTA to help mass adoption
we should really mark a day where we all make a strong effort to make the masses aware of bitcoin,
and please note, the masses do not care about how things work or their history or future,
they care about the here and now, and what benefits them the most today,
so explaining stuff like faucets, or your price forecast, or anonymity, or who you think satoshi is, just does not interest the masses,
The poll above is just there for reference, as most people wont care to read all the comments
if anyone has good ideas to add, post them and i will add them
most items on the poll also assume you have already shown someone how to load coins to their wallet.

Really, we should be trying to do everything stated in the list below everyday.



Things we can do EVERYDAY to help mass adoption:

• Live purely off bitcoin, and not spend a penny of fiat, and let everyone know.
• Ask every single outlet you visit, if they accept bitcoin, and sigh in disbelief if they don't.
• Show every outlet you visit how they could easily accept bitcoin.
• Fill your trolley with high end goods, and when cashier says BTC not accepted, just walk out.
• Give bitcoin (well mbit or satoshi) to someone that has never had bitcoin.
• show someone how to make a purchase from purse.io saving them 15% (actually buy an item)
• turn up at a cafe and forget your cash, but then pay in bitcoin, showing owner how to accept.
• Buy some online and something offline with bitcoin.
• Buy something from openbazaar
• Show someone how to buy from Openbazaar (buy an item)
• Show someone how they can sell on openbazaar.
• Open an openbazaar shop.
• Load a peper wallet and give to someone, then show them how to use.
• Show an adult entertainer how to accept BTC and then pay/tip them with BTC
• Ask your local Pub/Bar if they will hold a 2 for 1 or promotional beer for bitcoin night.

Please comment on what you do or what we all could be doing to help mass adoption of btc.
