I promote it. Whenever I order something online I make a suggestion to accept Bitcoin and I explain all the advantages.
We can't rely on some organization to promote Bitcoin. That won't work.
It is impossible to know how much of the transactions are for buying things. I think this chart might come close. It removes transactions involving the top 100 addresses. That eliminates Satoshi Dice and exchange transactions.

Topic: Who is promoting bitcoin for purchasing goods and services? - page 2. (Read 1667 times)
I learned of Bitcoin on March 31st this year and became a fan instantly, buying my 1st coin 3 days later.
I have many questions which this community may be able to help me with so I will start with two.
If bitcoin is to have longevity I would think eventually it must be generally accepted to purchase almost anything anywhere.
So
1 Who is out there promoting bitcoin with merchants?
Is there an organization which handles this?
If so how is it funded?
If no organization exists..why not?
2 How much of the approximate $150M /day which is traded is actually from the purchase of goods or services? ( an approx % is ok for a start)
where can I find data on bitcoins used for purchases or is this inherently unavailable due to the anonymity of transactions?
TY
