Seems like a positive idea, but how is everyone in the world supossed to use Bitcoin when most people in the world don't have access to proper internet.

I would say that while it is literally the goal, the implied goal is to get as many people as is possible to use it.

Could you see yourself promoting the day to friends that haven't yet tried Bitcoin?  And do you think the idea would motivate them to get started?

4 participants so far.  Sounds like moon for sure.

Well, I just started it and it's almost a year away.  And your point is?

I'll say it again, create a thunderclap campaign.

I have applied and now am waiting for the campaigns approval.  I guess it takes three days.  I'll let you know, and thanks again for the suggestion.

it would be good idea for a group of people to be wearing the same bitcoin clothing, I think this is one way to promote it
  first do what the no pants days did.  Start in NYC and travel with groups  that are wearing bitcoin shirts, and then on the back of there shirt say this " Did you get your's Yet?

I don't see how we're going to get seven billion people to use bitcoin one day. What about all the people without an internet connection or those who can't afford devices to obtain a wallet and send/receive btc? I can imagine something where a lot of people could wear bitcoin related apparel to boost the bitcoin awareness. You could try get shirts sponsored and have a public get together where everybody could be wearing something related to bitcoin. Maybe something like a mask would do like the Anonymous marches and conventions.

Bitcoin is not a service for people to use in one particular day.

people without internet access, will be connected when google "loon for all" project will be ready, but i'm afraid this won't be enough to make everyone to use bitcoin even for one day, many still don't like the fact that early adopters were lucky, and they must buy from them

Loon won't be available worldwide and if the is going to be, it won't be very soon. That still doesn't solve the problem with the people without devices. I still think an awareness convention would do well.

We already have bitcoin pizza day and bitcoin black Friday. Those days suit people who already use bitcoin and might encourage a few newbies to start. International bitcoin day might work if more people start using bitcoin, but IMO not enough use it right now to expect everyone to use it for a day.

Bitcoin pizza day isn't celebrated as much as we would think it is actually. There's about 200 odd people who actually show an interest.

I think the hole point of this is that we don't need all 7 + billion on planet earth to get involved at once we just need to raise awareness internationally to the level that we have all done our bit to raise bitcoin to many more users, then the next time one of these projects start up we will have that extra few people to help in the efforts who will show more people what this awesome technology is about and then again and again. By the time it builds some more people around the world may have developed enough tech to have the devices to also join in. We all join together then anything is possible if we all just sit around hoping for it and leaving it to someone else it will never happen. Count me in op well done..

that is fantastic idea to celebrate Bitcoin Day, i just subscribed to the list and we need more active users to spread words about Bitcoin Day on different social media platform.

[BitcoinPenny]

I like the idea! I'm signing up.

EDIT: Done!

[dhimasnk]

hmm, this is a good idea. The public will be more familiar with bitcoin, will be a lot of people who use bitcoin.

What if everyone in the world used Bitcoin for a day?

I can buy some bitcoin on the day, I can buy a gift card on the day, but I can't use bitcoin for a day. Bitcoin day is a nice idea. Rises awareness of Bitcoin to complete newbies. Is there anything organised already?
