Since this is now an actual petition gives it a bump up

I wonder how many people on this forum know what avaaz is?

I would think a fairly moderate amount of users since it is libertarian by its original nature
With the new waves of users though it is an interesting question

3 days in and almost 50 signers!!! I did not imagine this going so bad haha

I think more grandmas started studying the source code of bitcoin than people who signed the petition

Probably just needs more press PR or something to get it rolling
Half the battle is getting information out

Maybe reddit might help!

Probably would get enough boosts in the Bitcoin subtopic

It got like 6 signers from reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ And my post got a lot of down votes too...

Guess the community does not see the benefit of a petition like this succeeding.

I sent a tweet to major bitcoin figures like andreas antonopoulos but they probably see it as spam since I did not see a retweet.

If anyone has connections with someone who has a strong voice in the bitcoin community to spread the message, please do

Don't think this will go viral, most people do not care enough..

I really wonder, what People in the Bitcoin-World care about. Every Company/Organisation that accepts Bitcoin is a win.
In this case it is pretty easy to participate. So, why do People ignore it?

As I see on the forums (not just bitcointalk but others), most activity is around mining and following that is talk about buying/selling bitcoins.

between the lines you can sense the "get rich quick" idea

With the exception of certain big bitcoin voices like andreas antonopoulos (and some others) there is little to see in the long term humanitarian activity. Yeah there are people speaking out, but they do not attract the masses (and I mean the masses already using bitcoin, not regular "consumers" that never heard about it).

I think more time has to pass so people start seeing this bitcoin phenomenon as something more than bringing them $$$.
