im always asking "are you accepting btc?" to all shops in Turkey. but sometimes staffs are know what is btc. we need more academic presentation. if everyone knows, they accept it. we need to spread it.
If the bitcoin price rises to $5000, most people in the world will know about Bitcoin. Attention chases money.
This is not exactly true, in a more wider scale. I think its the spreading and the innate acceptance which draws people to bitcoin along with the advantages it gives. Its not always about money/price of bitcoin and rarely "acceptance" is due to `attention chasing money`.
If people believe that bitcoin can be a better alternative to fiat and that the advantages of bitcoin can overcome the disadvantages of fiat only then they will accept it and else not.
You cannot lure people with money into accepting something - you will be accused as a scammer if the project failed in the long run.
