Unless a lot of privacy oriented businesses start accepting XMR, that is.

That should be a primary goal for Monero and other privacy focused coins.

Yeah, but it's not really a matter of a couple of us who are invested into the privacy focused coins to start contacting these businesses and just say "Hey, you need to accept XMR"... I think we need to inform them of what it is and to get them to actually read the documents and white papers that come along with cryptonite currencies. Until they get some kind of motivation to do so; we won't have any say as to how they handle their business.

For privacy oriented services, like for most businesses, are to main motivations:
1. Money
2. Reputation

1. Money

If they see that costumers chose competition over them, because they accept xmr, its enough of a motivation to start considering accepting monero as well.

For this to happen there needs to be enough users being happy to pay/donate for the services with xmr.

2. Reputation

If some service is serious about protecting users privacy, they should do everything they can do protect this privacy. This includes supporting payment methods that actually protect this privacy.

And for this to happen, limitations of the bitcoin in terms of privacy and anonymity must be more well known. Most ppl think that bitcoin is most private and most anonymous payment method ever developed.

Nice compilation.

This gives a good overview of what many perceive Bitcoin is and what it is not....perception can be very flawed if one does not take a step back and really call Bitcoin for what it is and not what people want it to be.

Did you edit out your post with all of those quotes?

Now I don't see them.

Yes, I removed them, as I wanted to put them into one place:
