Hello,

I think we as a community need to begin educating people on how Bitcoin works. The world knows that Bitcoin exist "hooray" but only believes the negative information that is spoon fed to them by the incompetent media. From my observation most of us bitcoiners are avid bitcoin conspiracy theorist. The conspiracy theories is something that we don't need to spread...

What can we do to educate the world, so that mass adoption really speeds up?

ok there are 14 years olds and 10 years old that understand bitcoin, its the Seniors that are the problem. forget them and lets educate the young Teens and college students those are the ones who are gonna spread it, like facebook

As much as I love Bitcoin, But
Bitcoin's platform is not ready for mass adoption!

If you look at this instruction how to secure your wallet alone
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_your_wallet
This instruction is no way doable for average Joe, who don't know anything about command line.
I can only see mass adoption, until we have hardware bitcoin wallet.

And yesterday, I came across this
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change
I can bet more than 50% of bitcoin users who have paper wallets don't know what "Change" is, how it could be a disaster when using paper wallets.

You can educate people all you want, it won't matter.

Until BTC becomes more convenient that fiat/credit cards, no amount of education will change anything.

Strongly disagree with this. Why are you or any of us on this board interested in bitcoin? Is it because it is easier for us to use it then it is for us to use fiat or credit cards? No. It is because we gained some knowledge of the subject (became educated) and now we are proponents of it because we believe in the idea/ protocol. Every potential new adopter needs to start somewhere, the only way to start would be to become educated on the matter. Education itself will continue to contribute more than anything to the growth of the network

If Coinbase could implement something like this, issue their own debit cards linked to wallets.. we'd be in business.
