I hope you are right. I would like to see uᴉoɔʇᴉq go mainstream, even in australia, and it would be much more convenient if you could spend uᴉoɔʇᴉq in normal stores.
I dont think that in 2016 it will reach to our local stores, as for that it require a struggle of 10 years or more, for that we have to educate our shopkeepers in the subject of bitcoin.
