Bitcoin can't go mainstream, until the miners adopt segwit, and lightening network&tumblebit are implemented, otherwise which mainstream will like current slow speed?

That's correct but I wonder when they are going to implement segwit as its been quite a while and they keep giving us false news about its implementation.

Segwit is implemented already, what we are lacking is segwit activation and that is up to the miners but miners don’t seem to be in any rush to activate it, so they are either buying time or they are not going to activate segwit.

It can't be with bitcoin. May be another steady inflation coin like Eth, LSK.

It probably won't even happen with those Coins.
Governments probably will create their own Coin based on Blockchain technology.
But those coins/Blockchains will be controlled and centralized.. So that people come back to BTC Grin

Banks should start closing right now before they got into debt. Bitcoin is arriving!

If more enterprises support bitcoins, we can really use bitcoins to our daily life. I think it will be a good start to make it be mainstream.

Yes, If more merchants and enterprises start using Bitcoin as a payment gateway then the people who use those services or buyers will start noticing Bitcoin and will try to use it.
To OP, I don't think spray painted nudes and bums will not be more useful for Bitcoin community. Tongue

segwit is implemented already since 0.13.1 if i'm not mistaken, the problem is the activation, and without consensus you can't activate it, we need 95% to activate it

but miners are not pro segwit and will keep delaying in the hope of another solution...meanwhile bitcoin can't scale, we are lucky that this pump is not because of more adoption, otherwise N° of TX would be much higher...

Banks are still alive and bitcoin is still in fixing because of the block size problem that make small transaction is expensive than Banks ,but if we can get the solution for this problem, bitcoin will become real money on every countries and it will make bitcoin going mainstream and Banks are disappear.

Printing thousands of simple 1 page papers explaining Bitcoin and giving to people.

Yes we can do a monthly bitcoin seminar and giveaway fliers to people. I am also thinking of creating a second YouTube channel that talks about bitcoin deeply than other channels. I'm also opening a T-shirt merchandise to design T-shirts with various bitcoin propaganda!

I don't think a picture of my bum with a sign saying Bitcoin, PlayPal, Access, Visa or any other digital asset is likely to be good as a promotional item.

I think it's not about your bum, but getting media attention.
I can't figure out more ways you arleady mentioned media, youtubers, maybe hacking biggest media websites and placing bitcoin logo or video.

Using hacking to promote bitcoin is not a good idea since we will prove right all of those alarmist in the press saying that bitcoin is the currency of hackers, so that is not good.

Hacking large media mediums? Then it would really be a bad idea since we could able to promote bitcoin on a legal way but the major problem on this that government will surely block this thing specially when they know the disadvantages of bitcoin to its place.

Also if you have allot of money go to the top by the market exchange website and buy Bitcoin for more than it costs if you would buy at least 1000 Bitcoins in 24 for 2000$ per 1 Bitcoin price will increase allot and Bitcoin would get massive attention from media
This is the one of the best methods to make Bitcoin mainstream if you are millionaire.

And what will you tell people when they ask why their transaction is still unconfirmed after 10 hours, even when they included 'right' fee?

Currently we have almost 100.000 Unconfirmed Transactions and average number of transactions per second is 2.58 now.

It is not even the limit of bitcoin capabilities, it can process up to 7 transaction per second in ideal conditions.

FYI Paypal can do more than 100 transaction per second. VISA more than 8500.

That's unfair. With the current coin list bitcoin is the one which has got the potential to go mainstream and take the place of banks. Eth, LSK will grow as an alternate for bitcoin but taking the place of bitcoin is tedious.

I don't think that banks will disappear with bitcoin. Bitcoin will become main stream to people who believe in bitcoin, still people have lot of faith in banks when compared to bitcoin. Banks is place where they can exchange their fiat currency to bitcoin and bitcoin to fiat, banks are mediators for bitcoin and members.

Bitcoin will be mainstream but banks will not disappear, bitcoin ain't fiat so it will not replace banks. The effort to advertise or promote bitcoin is good but that is not what really need, we need the government to fully support bitcoin to get the trust of the public, without that happening, it will be hard to achieve our dream for bitcoin to be the mainstream.

I'd like to put a clear definition, bitcoin will be the mainstream payment system and not a legal currency.

Your ideas are good in order to attract people attention to Bitcoin. And we are on the right track. With every passing day more and more people will learn about Bitcoin. This should encourage more use of digital currency, but it is not enough for the destruction of the banking system at this stage of human development.

Get nude, paint spray bitcoin logo on your body, get media attention, get on the news! I will donate 5BTC if i will see your nude ass in news.
Encourage celebrities to make a Bitcoin logo tattoo on their body.
Put the bitcoin logo sticker on your car and wear tshirt with bitcoin logo.

Are you sure you are going to give away for any crazy stunts which gets media attention regarding bitcoin ,because you never know people might do it if it is for real. Grin

Celebs could endorse bitcoin if anyone is willing to pay them Cheesy

and so is the case with successful YouTube channels as they might endorse if you are willing to pay them.What ever you do bank wont disappear just like that ,it does not work like that.
