We need some TV advertisement about bitcoin, to show how easy it is to spend bitcoin to buy goods and tell people that bitcoin is accepted in many shops.
Looks like the press is again spotlighting bitcoin:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-in-the-headlines-press-eyes-skyrocketing-price/
Point 1) again.
While the press is important, and correlated with the price: the higher the price the more coverage bitcoin gets.
It is still important to keep in mind that even though we get some news headers here and there. Without a coordinated marketing campaign I dont think bitcoin will push through.
We need to break the status quo and push bitcoin to the masses.

Trends is looking sharp:
Bitcoin interest is going up so the price rise is a marketing tool itself.
(However a facebook awareness campaign is still needed, not to get labeled as a libertarian ponzi scheme again, I hate when the media is demonizing)

Bitcoins , though being an awesome currency are still not considered to have a place on the mainstream line. Here are some of the reasons for it.
(1) It is still not used widely , many people are still not using it as being used less in their territory or country.
(2) Bitcoins still don't have any official management community, this creates problems for the people as scams and frauds are getting increasing and there's no official community to look after it.

That's true, there are still many countries who are still not aware about the bitcoins and the people who are highly educated but still not aware about the bitcoins and if they have heard the word bitcoins but haven't used it, and that is the reason bitcoin is lacking behind so once it is widely used and accepted it would go and hit the mainstream.
There are more people on Facebook than residents in China.
Isnt this a holy grail in advertising?
With a 1-2 million $ advertising budget we could advertise BTC to hundreds of millions of people.

Make it sense though
Regarding my 1) point:
I am still thinking that the gamer/gaming industry is underdeveloped in bitcoin. And i`m not talking about gamblers. I`m talking about video gamers.
So I was just looking at the news and saw this:
www.voxelus.com
Basically this is a gaming platform or content creation platform that used his digital currency. It is in funding phase now but after it gets out it can become really big.
Think of it like this: It can help gamers familiarize themselves with cryptocurrencies, and then eventually get to use Bitcoin too.
So the 180 billion $ gaming market can get a hold of bitcoin too

BTC is only for online shopping.
Man this Taiwan ban of bitcoin really annoys me. They will regret this later as they miss many bitcoin startups that could boost their GDP.
Oh well, that is "democracy" isnt it. The bitcoin startups will just find another place with more friendly enviroment.

Bitcoin will not go mainstream I guess, it's just interesting for some geeks and traders like us.
Main stream media are reporting bitcoin and banks are talking about block chain technology and adopt it in banking system. It is all happening now.
Bitcoin is going to main stream.

One BIG promotion or gaming tournament with huge prize money, would push Bitcoin adoption through the roof. The only problem is, most people are in this for the profit.. not to
fund a $1 000 000 prize pot. Someone should start a crowd funding to sponsor something like this and then find a platform to run this on.
If one major game adopt Bitcoin as a in-game payment option, things will change quickly. Has anyone attempted to approach them? Blizzard / Midway / Westwood Studios / SNK
Relic / Ubisoft / Origin Systems / PopCap Games / EA / Nintendo ..... We only need one.
... the rest will follow.

I think an advertising campaign is more efficient, this would only lure people from 1st world countries. Lets give a chance for the rest of the world too.
An ADSENSE+ Facebook + Twitter campaign for 1-2 million $ would really boost bitcoin's membership.

... the rest will follow. Sounds good. I guess we need larger institutions that can actually enforce loans to be paid.
Current lending services are just crying to get people scammed, I guess some form of ID will always be required for lending to avoid getting scammed.
Yes but its more than that, either they need cross platform verification (verify their bitcointalk accounts, only member and higher ranks can get loans, etc.)
Or they need to implement an escrow system, to protect lenders from scammers.
A risk management specialist can easily spot scammers and can filter out 99% of scams easily. Thats whats needed.
Damn I forgot about this thread 
Well I have to maintain it, so I added a point 8] Bitcoin lending.
It is also crucial to have a stable lending system (filtering out scammers), because its a good opportunity to increase the BTC economy & membership.
(Hopefully some entrepreneurs read my thread and absorb my ideas)

While I think bitcoin lending is a great idea and will definitely be needed, it is a recipe for a new age of banks.
The only thing banks will be used for in the future is lending money, safe keeping is not required anymore and cahs distribution is not required.
But that's a great transition. Let's face it, you cannot get rid of the banking system.
However you can reform it, and with bitcoin you can get rid of fiat money, while still keeping the banks as allies.
You dont want the banking system as your enemy, so keep them your allies with this new form of capital based lending (not fiat money ponzi schemes)

Nice summary of topics that bitcoin is lacking in order to achieve critical mass.
However most topics are about informing the general public about bitcoin and promoting its use cases.
These topics can be addressed by the community as identified by your list.
However; it will be mainly new businesses who see an opportunity in these bitcoin use cases and who will invest and promote their use case to the general public.
Its not necessarly in order of importance, but its listed as my top suggestions that need to be tweaked.
I hope entrepreneurs and influential people (of bitcoin) read my thread and get inspiration from my ideas and implement them.
Bitcoin will not go mainstream I guess, it's just interesting for some geeks and traders like us.
That would depend on what you consider as mainstream
If Bitcoin can get a userbase comparable to Paypal in the next 5 years, I would already consider that a success and mainstream enough for the time being
I consider myself a bitcoin intellectual, and I`m always wondering how can I help the bitcoin economy with my ideas, which I got plenty of. So I was thinking 2 days about why bitcoin (or for that matter other altcoins) is not mainstream yet, and what issues it needs to overcome to be able to grow faster. Some issues that I discovered are practical, while others need the entire community's support in order to work.
So here are the issues I discovered with bitcoin, it's economy, why it is not mainstream yet:
1) Lack of organized promotion campaigns
2) Lack of earning bitcoin methods & bitcoin jobs
3) Lack of a good guide to newbies
4) Lack of a bitcoin "search engine"
5) Lack of a major global financial-economic crisis
6) Lack of a more integrated & united community
7) Lack of social Idols promoting/endorsing/using their influence to help bitcoin
8] Lack of a stable lending system
