I think BTC is growing fast enough.
The last 3 years have been amazing.  Smiley

I know, but we can't stop trying to promote Bitcoin just because it's price went over 1million percent from 2010 to 2013 Tongue
We have to promote it now more than ever, especially in light of the recent scandals with Mt.Gox.

BTC does need more good publicity.
No doubt about that.

We need to promote more in different languages, that is one of the biggest barriers, being able to communicate ourselves to other than English speakers. How many translations of Bitcoin wallets are there? We have all major western languages, but what about Swahili? Tagalog? Arabic? Hebrew?

These markets can be opened if we speak in their language, make it easy for people who speak any language to use the clients. Advertise essential software for third world markets, bundling the Bitcoin mobile client into it and providing easy means maybe through ripple in local countries to purchase it. It's all about accesibility, If I was in Nigeria, where the hell do I get Bitcoin? where do I spend it? It's just not accessible enough yet, requires too much work to get started; These people will need to be guided, passively through good presentation, layout of marketing materials. All it takes is one person translating it and building a portal with all these features.

It would help alot if the bitcoin foundation funded a marketing campaign the way credit card companies do.
most people are ignorant to the dangers of fiat money, if explained properly bitcoin should be an easy sell.

How about sending emails to various websites asking them when they will be accepting bitcoin? For example, if Amazon got several hundred emails asking this, then they might change their mind.

These are some ways to promote Bitcoin growth majorly.

1) We Need to push MultiBit as the "official" Bitcoin wallet, because truly guys, most people don't use high tech, high end computers, and Multibit is the most lightweigh Bitcoin wallet, which in turn would make it much easier for most people to have a Bitcoin wallet ready within 5 seconds instead of waiting hours for the Bitcoin qt wallet to sync

2) Bitcoin TV Channel or official newspaper etc

3) Bitcoin radio channel

4) Reputable Bitcoin establishments, we need to have more solid Bitcoin exchanges and sites
