promote commercially?
bitcoin is not a slice of cheese or a toy car.. its a currency

Excuse me if I'm confusing you with someone else

Though this is hardly the case since it must have been you after all who had been proposing recently an idea of free competition between currencies for their users. But where there is competition, there should necessarily be aggressive marketing and intrusive promoting, right? Otherwise, how people would learn about a deisik coin and a franky coin? Oh, wait, you may not want to advertise your coin at all since it is so good and shiny that it doesn't even need users altogether!

Lol, I agree marketing and advertisement is the best way to promote anything. But who will do it? No one will unless they benefit from it. Companies that are using Bitcoin already promoting the currency since they are encouraging users to try Bitcoin to buy or pay for their service or goods.

Someone can run campaign to promote it. Then we'll see the price going up due to its increased adoption!

Not in this way at least, we can't expect someone to pay from their pocket to advertise bitcoin. I highly believe that services that run in bitcoin, offer/accept bitcoin payments or any other field related with bitcoin then these are who advertise for their services.

How about aditya6997 starts to promote bitcoin, since it is his idea to run a campaign to promote Bitcoin. But I bet he wouldn't because he does not have any company or service that will benefit from that advertisement.
