Most of the current generation already understands virtual currency in the form of game credits and points cards so I think bitcoin having stuff like that wouldn't be far off and would definitely be a boost to merchants and the bitcoin economy. Digital natives who already get technology could start using Bitcoin right away. And JB already endorses Google Chrome.

+1 you're right & and you have a really good point. Wasn't making fun of your post Most of the current generation already understands virtual currency in the form of game credits and points cards so I think bitcoin having stuff like that wouldn't be far off and would definitely be a boost to merchants and the bitcoin economy.

Yes, I can see it now. Tweens trading Zhu Zhu pets with each other for bitcoins. It's genius!
You'll be surprised how much money tweens enjoy spending. For them, it's all disposable income. Another fact is my 10th grade nephew knows more about TOR then I do. I asked him how many students at his school know about and use TOR. His reply--Every one of them. Bitcoin is somewhat of an adjunct of that.
Remember, JB is just an example. Can you think of another known personality this would work for? Maybe some upcoming star?

One of the most loved young singers of the moment, Justin Bieber enjoys mostly a female following, which would go to great lengths to show their love and support for him.
I snatched the above quote from some website to drive the point I'm about to make, home.
What if Justin Bieber donned a small Bitcoin symbol somewhere on his apparel? All he has to do is wear it, not be a spokesperson for Bitcoin. In fact, it's best he not even talk about it. Just wear it wherever he goes. The conversation of him doing such would go viral.
Now, you may wonder why he would do this if there's nothing in it for him doing it. I'll address that concern with a question: What if he, or his manager, purchased X amount of Bitcoin prior to his start of donning the Bitcoin symbol for the sole purpose of cashing out once their position reaches a predetermined point?
And it doesn't have to be JB, for this idea to work. Any well known personality could do this, thereby increasing the awareness for Bitcoin, and everybody wins.
Then again, perhaps I'm overloading the cart for the donkey, again. (from the idiom: the cart before the horse)
