No serious efforts will be required to bring btc to mainstream, according to the current scenario..

Its already spreading fast.

bitcoin could be an unique opportunity for Argentina's citizen, being a third world country this could reduce the gap with developed countries, this is why we are trying to spreading bitcoin benefits

other useful method can be helping people for collecting funds for charity, animals care, community dining rooms, sick people, etc

in this way bitcoin is used like a tool for help people who needs Grin

in our facebook group last month we help a father whose child have leukemia to open a bitcoin account for receiving payments around the world, and in a few days he received 1 bitcoin, which in Argentina it's a lot of money... (almost one month salary)

One of the biggest problem getting people into Bitcoin is that we are: young, geeks, nerds, liberals, anarcho-capitalist, etc... (choose what you want) and we choose bitcoin only for its potential and its benefits, but in the real world we are only a minority

Most people are employees that buy the brand new and expensive smartphones, fashion clothes, listen new commercial music, etc just to follow the trend, and probably live their entire life apart from risk and investments... so, how we can reach them?

maybe one method is making bitcoin a new fashion, with merchandising and concentrating in how easy is to be used instead of how its works, mining, volatility of price, blockchain, etc

In Argentina we started a "evangelizing" movement doing travels around the country doing meetups, you can follow news on facebook https://www.facebook.com/girasbitcoiners

May be people will chose that after some time. Also people add same auto, and mobile phones, and smartphones, and airplanes, and social nettworks, and emoney. After time they will add crypto currency in their lifes.

If the rich sheikhs decide to do transactions in bitcoin when selling mineral oil, just see how much popular btc gets

interesting idea, im sure they wouldnt mind getting away from the $, but the last time Saddam Heussain said he'd do his oil transactions in Euros the USA upgraded him from ally to terrorist dictator... (among other reasons apparently). think a ground up effort is easier for the moment lol

Great work... As more companies start to recognize it and Venture Capitalists start to invest in bitcoin startups, it will become more mainstream. The sky is the limit.

It'll be a heck of a job making Bitcoin a mainstream topic.
My doubts are high, but best of luck to you and the community who participates!

If someone takes initiative to pay for advertisment, makes a wallet and accepts donations from every btc user, then all of ad space of internet will be flooded with bitcoin

We can make lots of twitter tweets and FB pages about bitcoins and people will know easily.

Social networking indeed rocks.

I dont feel like we need to push it onto the mainstream. It's just bound to happen - the world has been waiting for a solution to the current form of money, even if it didn't know it. The world generally adapts better solutions for everything on the whole, we chose cars over horses for a reason; convenience.

If you absolutely HAVE to push the coin, find ways to prove it's more convenient than money.

We have been promoting bitcoin on televised MMA shows in the US. We have a fighter on the UFC tomorrow night which will be seen across the country on Fox Sports.

this is amazing.... here we have a lots of interviews on television and radio, but nothing like publicity for sales, they are more informative interviews...

Other good idea that we are using is give a paperwallet with some mBtc and instructions for use to waiters in restaurants as tip, you can learn more in http://www.coindesk.com/propinabitcoin-promotes-bitcoin-latin-america-restaurant-tipping-service

Your average Bitcoin/Ethereum enthusiast

Come on Bitcoin! It will only take some time for the masses to see the viability of bitcoin. Once we get more adoption it will only get better from there.

What if people are paid their salaries in bitcoins? Not the entire value but a %.

There are many people receiving their salaries on Paypal already.

Some already doing this. For instance, you can hire coders and pay them using btc. And many bitcoin business are paying posters using btc.
