I see that to date, a lot of people are beginning to be interested in Bitcoin. I myself became an involuntary witness of how several people from my society also began to visit bitcointalk and were interested in crypto currency. Of course, this is my credit, because I constantly talked about what I do.
A forum can not change the situation. A lot of people too high hopes for the promotion of bitcoin through the forum. It seems to me that the popularization of bitcoin can only take place through earnings. The more proposals will be on the network the more supporters and users will have a bitcoin.
This forum is also a good source of income and a good source of knowledge for the user of bitcoin because it is a very bigger community of bitcoin and all of the people who adopt bitcoin also join this forum because they want to remain aware with bitcoin. So I think this forum is also very better for changing the situation.
