Of course it needs help, without those steps being fulfilled bitcoin will remain forever at the 200-300$ price range.
Completely wrong. If Bitcoin provides an operational advantage, the value will go through the roof. Those 'steps' you describe are just plain stupid. You are probably stupid as well.
There, you have your argument first and insult later. Better for you?
Well, i maybe dont agree with rawdog style but in my opinion he is right like never before. Bitcoin, like any other currency (yes, for me Bitcoin is currency, i use it to buy or sell other things) need to be used if we want to give more value to it. Merchants and services will never adopt it as payment option if we dont use it frequently and average Joe will never use and buy bitcoin if he cant spend it.
