i want to add that bitcoin mainstream isn't only when bitcoin will reach a good price and will be used on large scale(adoption ecc...), but the real bitcoin mainstream will be available only when btc will be used directly, and it will not depend again from fiat

Ofcourse mate. And I am looking forward to that with the release of Bitcoin related ATMs in a lot of different countries I think that might not be that far off in the future..just depends on how much we can market it and have people adopt it.

This is what we need for mainstream adoption:

Some form of consumer protection and it s going to be here soon.

I think, incorporating Bitcoin into premium games, will do it. Wink

Imagine "World of Warcraft" or "Starcraft" or "Call of Duty" and many of the big titles, having BTC built in for tipping {ingame} and on the forums.

Any of the MORPG's can easily incorporate it and we will see a explotion in the demand for Bitcoin. Instead... These games are spending millions into creating their own crypto currencies and trying to re-invent the wheel. Huh

The day, when "Facebook" adopt Bitcoin fully, will be the day when we "Go to the Moon" Grin

I would love to see a multiplayer game like the elders scrolls, or minecraft itself, with a living real economy based on BTC (but of course in game it would need to have another game, since Bitcoin sounds too futuristic).

If popular games like you've mentioned above start integrating bitcoin as a way of paying for in-game purchases, then the demand for bitcoins might see an appreciation. Also, die-hard gamers will surely look into getting bitcoins for online purchases because of its fast transactions and, well, anonymity.

I'm not even sure that it could help much. We already have great companies on board such as Microsoft, Dell, Overstock, Newegg.
If you're looking at messaging apps then it would either be Viber of WhatsApp. Maybe we could get Viber to start accepting it, because to get WhatsApp on board we would have to get Facebook on board as well.

Do you think that WhatsApp will accept the payment of the sum (after using it for 1 year) in bitcoins?

I know it's not the same but Telegram has a lot going for it, and seems to be more aligned with the Bitcoin ecosystem. Hope they introduce something like that into Telegram.

While I understand you ideas and I share your opinion. I want to clarify some things.

1. Tipping in game - this functionality won't work in titles like CoD or Starcraft imo. It only could work with titles where integration with people are part of the game like MMORPG. Let's be realistic. You are not gonna tip a dude who killed you in CoD, you instead will be more likely to blame him for cheating.

2. To this date no game company created any alt coin r within the meaning of that term. The closest project you can call alt currency in game is this: http://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcrafts-new-token-currency-sheds-a-quarter-of-its-value-in-one-day/

3. Facebook is not the key here, many people are still not using it. It will however raise general public crypto awareness.

well you do not integrate bitcoin in those game, with tips, there numerous way to integrate it

for example for CSGO, you can reward those who got the most kills ratio or the most score, or who come in the first 3 spots at the end of the match

for starcraft is the same, you can base the reward on score or the position on the ladder at the of the season

My friend, you are missing the point of 'tipping" here. Do you think that game developers will grant you a 'tip' for these achievements? Because they won't. Tipping is meant to be p2p thing between pplayers. And I imagine you don't want to tip your enemy who took higher position on a ladder. For now bitcoin will be useful in a games with free to play model like: Dota2, Planetside2, Smite, Path of Exile, Star Wars: The Old Republic, World of Tanks, Team Fortress 2 and many more. Where you could actually purchase something for yourself with bitcoins. F2P marketing model is highly successful in a recent years and games like that are topping the charts of top earning titles. It will be a great promotion for bitcoin as well.

wait i'm not taking about tipping, tipping could work well like you said in a mmorpg or those kinda of game, but for fps and rts, they could integrate an earning system directly in to the game that pay in bitcoin, i know that for now no one will due these(they are only doing it for the tournament), but it is certainly possible, it would attract more gamers as well

I know that the bitcoin is Mainstream when I will see that small signs in the windows of the shops in my city. You know, that little VISA, MasterCard etc. stickers but instead with Bitcoin logo - BTC
It doesn't have to be necessarily through one big company like Apple or Samsung that bitcoin will break through to the mainstream. I think we need just to raise mass public awareness of what bitcoin is and then everybody will follow.

I would put my money on Wall Street. Once big investment funds start investing and trading BTC, it ll become mainstream and no different then any other commodity like oil, corn or gas. The problem is that none of these firm s gonna touch BTC unless there is the appropriate legislation in place, especially the one aimed towards consumer protection. So yes, we need some forum of lose legislation first.

Maybe Gemini will do the job, it sounds a legit top-nutch exchange.

Probably but there aren't any recent new regarding Gemini though, I think coinbase will do the job before Gemini and introduce bitcoin trading in wall street .

Yes, I ve noticed this as well. After leaking the news about them being online before summer, no info at all. Why do you think this is? Still waiting for papers?

If any Wall Street trader starting to actively trade bitcoin, they'd make tons. It's so volatile that they could really make plenty of money. I think Wall Street is going to really start getting involved over the next 3-6 months.

They stay away until there's unhackable decentralized exchanges.

With the news about Noble Markets launching soon, that should help get Wall Street in.

Well I hoe wall street starts trading bitcoin soon, this would bring more services to the bitcoin space, higher trading volume which is good liquidating bitcoin to fiat and vice versa and much more. It's just a matter of time until wall street gets involved in bitcoin trading.
