The one problem with an exclusive forum is that it doesn't help evangelize, spread the information.
Yes, as you can see I am still here. But I also bought the castle, and that may open up new ways.
You can think of dividing the bitcoin adopters to segments like this:
2009 - 100
2010 - 1,000
2011 - 10,000
2012 - 100,000
2013 - 1,000,000
2014 - 10,000,000
2015 - 100,000,000
2016 - 1,000,000,000.
It is a very rough classification but approximately correct. The top of the pyramid has quite good understanding of Bitcoin, the bottom not only doesn't have it but is quite unprepared to understand it deeply even if explained.
The press articles cater to this "2016 segment" that does not have bitcoins and will not have them this or the next year. This information is mostly factually incorrect and very shallow. Because the press articles are read by the general public, they cannot be targeted to 0.1-1% of the population. They have to be poor as shit
What I am doing is research that will be interesting for people who already know Bitcoin for some time. Newcomers let alone outsiders cannot understand or appreciate it. My quest is to find the target audience.
