You likely don't. However most Boomers will be dead within 20 years which is how long I think it will take Bitcoin to become as mainstream as Paypal, twitter, or ebay.

I don't understand. Those examples were nearly overnight successes. Why won't Bitcoin go viral as well?

None of those were mainstream overnight. Lots of Boomers now use facebook, ebay, paypal now but those "technologies" are a decade old. Even facebook isn't revolutionary. It is 8 years old but the road was paved with myspace and before that geocities and other failed social sites.

Bitcoin is like alpha version of geocities circa 1990 right now. Worse it involves not social networking but money. I may be wrong but people who think Bitcoin will be adopted by the masses are likely a decade or two early. If you want to make a difference convince teenagers they want to use Bitcoin because by the time Bitcoin hits mainstream they will be prime spending (and voting) demographic.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a round table discussion with all teens or people in their very early twenties brainstorming to the nth degree after being presented Bitcoin for the very first time at the onset of the dialog?

What would it take to make this event happen? Also, would need to be recorded for prosperity.
