Gaming!

Get one of those big mobile games that have those microtransactions to accept Bitcoins and advertise it heavily.

Make it seem like BTC is the only way to get your loot:

Indeed. I've not even considered this on my first reply. Games that have a large userbase should definitely be targeted. I've heard of people buying thousands of $ worth of in-game gems/currency.
I guess some people really have money to spare for these kinds of things.

I think if Wal-Mart, Amazon, Overstock, or one of those large companies agreed to pay their vendors faster if they took bitcoin, we would suddenly see mainstream adoption.

Which App/Company can bring massive BTC adoption to the world?

I think messaging apps with new features including BTC of course, can do it.



Official twitter tipping can singlehandedly make BTC explode to unprecedented highs. Imagine celebs using it to tip fans and stuff.

Integration with major telecom companies could provide a boost.
Mobile penetration is increasing in the developing world.

Yea, out of all the whitepapers if read on this Mobile field (with BTC) SendChat is the most promising... lets see what they do.

Circle or Coinbase or that new "mysterious" company 12 something?  Anyway it's the company that simplifies bitcoin and makes it easy for the masses to understand and use. A month ago or so John Oliver made a joke about something being the only thing harder to spend than bitcoin. It has to useable by idiots in order to go mainstream.

Just ask yourself what you would like to buy with Bitcoin. For me it would be the most trivial things like groceries, so I'd be really happy if there was a service that would allow me to buy that with BTC.
If Bitcoin wants to succeed there have to be more ways of getting it like a possibility of getting part of your salary in Bitcoin and more ATMs. It can't only work one way.

I agree, i was reading the white paper of SendChat

"SendChat’s Store: In furthering empowering SendChat’s community, businesses will be able to sell their products and services through the SendChat store tab. All transactions can be performed in any cryptocurrency available in SendChat. Cryptocurrencies speed and ease of use will make a 1 click system in app purchasing the best option. This means consumers can focus on the purchase process and complete the transaction in a single click without reentering their payment details, making the payment process as fast and efficient as possible."

Basically considering your Super-Market idea, if they have SendChat app (lets say Walmart) then you can do groceries with any crypto SendChat has. So imagine paying for your groceries with Doge or LTC? hahah

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.
