Controversial take: Too many bitcoiners believe that superior technology leads to inevitable adoption, but this just isn’t true. Ask Betamax, Newton, or Pebble.

If we want to see widespread adoption, we need far better marketing (or any at all), the overall community needs to be more welcoming of differing views, and luck needs to be on our side. Without those, even the most revolutionary technology can be forgotten to history.

If Bitcoiners want to increase adoption, they need to go touch some grass. Leave your mancave behind, and your four monitors of financial charts, and find something else you love in life besides Bitcoin. Then, after you've given it some time, loving your new hobby on its own terms, find a way to bring Bitcoin into it.

Without meaning to, I've ended up trying both approaches.

1. Getting people who might be interested to show up for an introductory meeting/class about Bitcoin. People show up. Orangepilled = 0

2. Live life, have friends, help people out with things, just mention Bitcoin a bunch of times : many more Bitcoiners on the (local) ground.

Orangepilled = Many

If it's uploaded check out C.J. Wilson's talk at Bitcoin takeover Austin earlier this year.

He spoke about integrating Bitcoin into his business (Porsche dealership), into charity, and how he advocates for Bitcoin in Congress.

Most impressive adaptation to integrating Bitcoin into life I've seen.
