I don't see how we're going to get seven billion people to use bitcoin one day. What about all the people without an internet connection or those who can't afford devices to obtain a wallet and send/receive btc? I can imagine something where a lot of people could wear bitcoin related apparel to boost the bitcoin awareness. You could try get shirts sponsored and have a public get together where everybody could be wearing something related to bitcoin. Maybe something like a mask would do like the Anonymous marches and conventions.

people without internet access, will be connected when google "loon for all" project will be ready, but i'm afraid this won't be enough to make everyone to use bitcoin even for one day, many still don't like the fact that early adopters were lucky, and they must buy from them

Loon won't be available worldwide and if the is going to be, it won't be very soon. That still doesn't solve the problem with the people without devices. I still think an awareness convention would do well.

I think the hole point of this is that we don't need all 7 + billion on planet earth to get involved at once we just need to raise awareness internationally to the level that we have all done our bit to raise bitcoin to many more users, then the next time one of these projects start up we will have that extra few people to help in the efforts who will show more people what this awesome technology is about and then again and again. By the time it builds some more people around the world may have developed enough tech to have the devices to also join in. We all join together then anything is possible if we all just sit around hoping for it and leaving it to someone else it will never happen. Count me in op well done..
