My Precious Bitcoins
So if you combine LOTR fanaticism and Bitcoin fanaticism, what do you get?
A Gollum of bitcoins.

One Coin to rule them all, One Coin to find them,
One Coin to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

If transaction times are the only problem, all you need is a Bitcoin bank. Something for people to store money in that gives them access to it immediately, but also, a) ensures people can spend what they have in the bank and b) help confirm transactions faster.
Then you could make purchases instantly, speed up transaction rate, and give people a way to spend bitcoin.

We just need more services. If you can pay with bitcoin anywhere using your phone as a "debit card" then adoption would skyrocket
Transaction times are a huge problem with this. Which is sort of why you've seen some alt currencies pop up.

I'm without a doubt my office's Bitcoin guy. And I've actually managed to get someone interested enough to sell some to him. It was only about 0.1 Bitcoins, but it is a start. I imagine he's only in it for the speculation and to make a profit at the moment though.
I have high hopes that the increase in merchants will reduce the number of speculators and increase the number of people actively using the currency.

And Bitcoin doesn't need any more investors. It needs adopters.

Try being that guy in a whole country. It gets difficult giving advice when the majority of questions are "Should I buy BFL?".
How is it difficult to give advice to something like that? "No" should suffice
What I mean to say is, the majority of interest from outside parties these days is relative to investment rather than usage. It becomes difficult giving any advice to people once you learn they're trying to translate everything you say into investment advice.

I'm that guy at my work. My co-workers gave me so much crap that even the brony admitted I was taking too much crap about it.
I also had a guy who traded currencies back in the 90's spend 30 minutes explaining to me how the candlestick chart on btc-e worked and how it was linked to Fibonacci numbers.

I sometimes talk about it. Most people are a lot more interested in the setups with 6 graphics cards than the bitcoin mining, however it is something that me and my friends talk about regularly as we all do find it interesting.
Ha ha ha... I joke about investing with the guys I work with, but it is usually in a very sarcastic way and just to mess with them. This is of course after hour long discussions on it. (well, me telling them about it)
I usually keep it on the DL, because the first time I told anyone about it, the first words out of their mouth was "How about we go in together and invest in it?"
And this was a random guy I was talking to. Creepy as hell, that was.
