No mate. They don't have to convince consumers. That's the point. They'll never know their money is being sent using the bitcoin network just like people don't know anything about http works when they're surfing the web now. To the consumer, the infrastructure and methodology they use will be the same as it is now.

... thus learning nothing about Bitcoin, which brings us back to

Why and how will this transition take place? Consumers have grown to trust these payment services, not Bitcoin.

Infrastructure will be built that allows the consumer the freedom to not to have to use a gateway. Also greater awareness, confidence, etc. Do you always make everyone repeat themselves?

Repeating yourself doesn't help to make your point. If the consumers don't know how "know their money is being sent using the bitcoin network," how are they learning about Bitcoin? How are they in a better position to use Bitcoin without relying on the infrastructure they have grown to trust, i.e. for-profit gateways providing it?

They know it works and will be provided with the tools to not need gateways for security, insurance, risk-assumption, etc. Repeating myself doesn't help make my point but your irrelevant rebuttals force me to. This is the last time I'll do it.
