Getting the bitcoin to the people was the easy part. Having a local bitcoin adoption with businesses accepting it, etc would have made a world of difference. How do we get there?
Discussion
Trying to pressure existing businesses into accepting bitcoin is a losing strategy. Bitcoiners building businesses that heavily incentivise paying with bitcoin, only trade for it, is the winning one.
The "old guard" (100x returns) bitcoiners taking on the role of venture capitalists could do wonders for that. I also wonder whether there's an investment strategy that could use zap-style fundraising? Yesterday proved pretty convincingly you can precisely track who paid you how much, after all.
