One of the company that can make bitcoin popular is online shop/online market

if the online shop uses bitcoin as a payment, the costumer will know about bitcoin.

Many online shops accept Bitcoin.
Many retail stores accept Bitcoin too.

We didn't see it go mainstream yet.
You know why?
Because it's still too early Wink

i dont think so, it's due to the fact that they are still working with fiat too, as long as you can choose fiat, the average people will choose, it

they need to force people to use bitcoin, is the only way to fast forward the adoption

There is a risk that people will not purchase anything from that shop it if accepts bitcoin only because using fiat is much more easier than using bitcoin. Forcing people to accept bitcoin only not a good idea but making it side by side will always make people choose fiat more for this case

I don't think that such idea is realistic.
Merchants will never accept only one way of online payment, no way.
They will always try to implement as many payment options as possible, in order to be convenient for many customers as possible.
If ''big'' merchants will accept BTC or not depends mostly of number of users using bitcoin every day.
If many people ask amazon and other big merchants to add bitcoin as payment option, they will do this.
So, everything depends on us first, bitcoin users.
Go out and force them to accept us
