Because we haven't got much more promotion or marketing to make it popular on bitcoin as cash . There are only people in bitcoin community to use it as cash. However, bitcoin is not still accepted from the government so that everybody is disquiet and do not get bitcoin as cash.
I have to disagree. We do not need more promotion or marketing. The Bitcoin community does not use it as cash. Most are just holding or use it very rarely. Some would like to but there is no place to spend Bitcoin. So what we need is to start using them. If i tell a friend to use this new form of money and to get on board, all he need to do is to ask me how often i us it and where and then i will have a hard time explaining why he needs it if he is not going to use it. Guess what, you need someone to accept Bitcoin to use Bitcoin. If you failed to make someone accept it then there will be no usage for Bitcoin. And the first step to make other use it, is thru marketing, promotion and merchant adoption. It needs a wider scale of influence and not just our circle of friends. So I guess the best thing to do it is widespread awareness on what bitcoin is and it will be done thru marketing and promotions.
How do other decentralized or not-for-profit organizations advertise? We obviously need to follow that model. Everyone pay your 0.001BTC to Gavin Anderson and tell him it's for a 30 second TV commercial that a pro marketer designed.
If you want mass adoption you need something big like TV. Internet ads are too focused on what you may actually want lol.
Depends on how you understand marketing and promotions
. It was stated in general way that all possible medium to promote Bitcoin can be done. And of course we know that promotion requires advertisement and ads are not limited to internet alone edit: and I agree with your suggestion
