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 uᴉoɔʇᴉq.
Yes i agree with you, to make local stores accepted bitcoin is hard imo. You need introduce to people about bitcoin and make people using bitcoin. And there are many people still don't know about bitcoin
