the fastest way o create bitcoin awareness it to actively use it in our everyday lives. it would realy help if we could pay for things with bitcoin, what would boost bitcoin awareness even more is if using bitcoin you pay cheaper for the product, then everyone would want to have bitcoin. the more industries that use bitcoin the more positive people would look at it. if the banks gets involved then from there its main stream and crypto currency will be something that we can use on a daily basis.
But the thing is though, in real life, there aren't much merchants that are accepting bitcoins. I guess they can give you a discount when you use bitcoin since you're not going to need to pay for VAT while they don't have to pay for taxes as well. Basically the merchant can sell you the commodity for its real price and not the taxed price but that might be illegal in some places although it isn't really different when you're selling something to your friend. In both scenarios, you didn't pay for the taxes since it's not recorded (same reason why online shops are a thing). But since you can't buy something with bitcoin irl yet, you can start by educating merchants about it and maybe one day you see a local merchant accepting bitcoins.
In the digital world, though, we have
purse.io. I have never tried it but they have good reviews. Basically they allow you to buy things on the Internet using your bitcoin instead of Paypal or bank transfer. They have discounts too so you might want to check them out.
