the answer is for people (and merchants) to use BTC as a preferred payment option. then the market can stabilize, in a good political/legal climate
I think asking to make it the preferred option is a lofty goal but just getting them to accept it is what we need. The bitcoin community is doing all it can to spread awareness and adoption but what we need is the rest of the world involved. I think this will happen but slowly over time. We just need patience and keep spreading the word.
