We need first to promote bitcoin much more in the public, specially we should try to explain and educate merchants why bitcoin is good for their business.
We also need media on our side (maybe send them some presentations about bitcoin), even we should try to teach about bitcoin in the schools etc.
It's long and complicate process but only in this way people can become positive about bitcoin, confident and start using it.
Eventually, bitcoin will become mainstream, many people will use it on daily basis and we will see also price increase etc.
If we don't help bitcoin nothing will happen.

Yes spreading the awareness and advantages of bitcoin to merchants would help for bitcoin getting accepted in many business. That will simply give people some idea to get bitcoin and to use in those business.
But many merchants are easily not getting convinced compared to the common people. This is the fact the merchants needs to risk more amounts than a buyer comparatively.

Aha, and from where do you want to get all these Bitcoins for giveaway?
To getan recognizable effect, you need to gift at least 1 million people. Better more.
1 mln x 0.02 BTC are 20,000 Bitcoins what are 8,5 million USD (today's price of $425/BTC).

IMO if everyone try to tell his co-workers, friends or people who listen to him it would help spread BTC fast and effectively and can be useful to these people too.

Giving away BTC won't work... It'll be costly and people won't show any interest.

However giving them some hashpower is probably a better idea... So they can participate in mining, and get to know it.

no one will give you free hash power, unless it is in the order of giga, which is useless and it's better for you to solve captcha and spam faucets every day, which is the thing that is encouraging a bit new adoption

I think the best way that Bitcoin can be spread is by doing public demonstrations, and giving free BTC small amounts around 0.02 to those who take an interest.

The only people who could do this is the ones who brought when the price was incredibly cheap and are now BTC rich, this will be a great way to give back to the community and intern help raise BTC popularity and usage and of course making it widespread.

This is demonstrated beautifully in this documentary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zKuoqZLyKg

How do you feel we as a community should raise bitcoin awareness and how are you helping ?

Giving out free coins isn't a good way of advertising it actually as people would just claim the coins and cash it out. Instead, public demonstrations, advertisements on television, newspapers and magazines would make people aware of this currency and more companies would adopt this currency as their primary payment method. Currently, the media has ruined its image and hence only bitcoin users can explain its use in a more effective manner rather than media sources. Banners too can help to give the currency necessary publicity.

Giving out free coins is something there bitcoin foundatoin can't fund. Simply too many people should be given free bitcoin. For that matter we already got faucets, which are meant for that.

Doing some public demonstrations is very good idea though.

I would say promoting Bitcoin at some events or college functions will spread the awareness about Bitcoin because there are people who don't even believe something like Bitcoin exists so targeting cultural activities and having joint venture with retail stores and giving out some discount for payments through bitcoins will definitely popularize Bitcoin.

We can be able to spread the bitcoins if only we are able to share to the people around us the benefits they will have once they participate in bitcoin trading. These people over the years have had a very bad mentality and always associate the coins to criminal acts. When we are able to change their mentality, we will indeed make it easier to spread it effectively. Let us also be able to use the coins i purchase of real physical goods.

Free bitcoins is too hard/expensive.
But maybe the foundation can hire some marketeers whose goal is:
To get as many webshops onboard for bitcoin accepted payments.

This is a good idea but surely people would xploit it and claim more if they can what we need is more retailers to use Bitcoin as a alternative to cash transactions

Yes some scammers would become very active.

The best thing is spreading the right information and get some help from big companies/news magazines.

More news and more information on bitcoin.
Just looking at how the amount of misinformation is spreading around, the focus should be on telling what bitcoin is all about.

the best way to spred bitcoin is mainstreaming and media coverage with it will make bitcoin more known then money transaction methode

Getting the media on board seems to be a very good strategy.

The media in most countries are opposing bitcoin in any way they can, which makes it very hard for bitcoin entrepreneurs to get foot on the ground.

Media is already on board. Are most of these posts just filler posts so you guys can spam your signatures? The discussion here has gotten so weird that I rarely visit anymore, but this is just plain strange. Every single post is an advertisement for some company overseas, with almost meaningless text in the post itself, always in broken english.

We should talk a lot about bitcoin, on school, at work even when waiting at the bus.
People will get more and more interested when they hear it and buy bitcoins themself.

it not a good idea to give it for free
it will be better to use it in advertisement
also make company or shop that will accept or pay bitcoin
that can help for some publicity
