I'm talking about BTC transfers for goods, not from mining pools to miners or miners directly by finding blocks.

I think that's what we need to start looking at.  Unless people start using it more to buy and sell goods & services ... BTC won't survive.

No, it's not possilbe, except if maybe people report their "real" transactions to a central database ... which would kind of defeat the purpose of Bitcoin.

Incidentally, this is why all proposals to tie bitcoin (or new bitcoin-like currencies) money growth to the volume of transactions are fundamentally flawed.
