If you are in the US, I can sell to you on localbitcoins.com (see the link to my offers in my sig). I have many transactions and 100% reputation rating. The price is Bitstamp +4-8% depending on market volatility.

I can vouch for her, if that helps on anything, I have traded before with bitbridgett and it has always been smooth. she asked me to do this deal with a really good rate, but I just couldn't because I'm short on BTC atm and I don't really want to sell. 

bitcoin is a currency, you can advertise the hell out of it, but until someone 'needs' it, the common consumers wont touch it, and it will be left to the investors to trade.

so stop trying to think of ways to advertise bitcoin and instead make products/services that require bitcoin that common consumers would like to use. that is how to get people to use it.

think of it this way. if your american. and you see a advert to buy euro's. ask yourself truly in your lifestyle, in your home town, in your family situation can you truly see a reason you would NEED euro's right this second to buy something tonight??

in99.99% of cases, there are no reasons. most are not going to suddenly want to go on holiday tonight to suddenly need to buy euro's and those that have already pre-planned a holiday, have also looked into euro's.

so dont think that just mentioning the currency is going to do jack all. you/we need to increase the amount of userfriendly services for bitcoin and give it more usefulness to the common consumer. and sell bitcoin on its usefulness and not simply that its another world economy that has appeared

rant and ideas.. over

mp3 market has the biggest potential for me.

Used to be that getting music recorded, manufactured, plugged and sold meant you were 100% dependent on about 12 layers of middlemen (some were vital because of the technology of the day, others were exploiting networking gaps)

Now, you can do every single part of the process for yourself. It's not going to be long before someone selling their music through their own website is going to have a massive hit that doesn't actually register on the "real" music charts, because they're outside the traditional circuit. That's what's so interesting about this, if a track has the right qualities to become popular, you can't hold back the tide.

The artist who does this first will be the first to ever make more than single digit % of the profits from their own music.
