but the really only way bring bitcoin to worldwide mainstream is to persuade (or to force) the OPEC to accept bitcoin instead of the US$ for the oil.

wait the "bank run" of your account ... and you see bitcoin in a other way (bulgaria landcast)

If you guys stop acting like evangelicals then we won't even need to say anything to get people to accept Bitcoin, taxes inflation and government debt will bring them to us...

This will happen regardless of whether or not we're "behaving like evangelicals". The two things have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

The dollar was a dead thing walking long before Bitcoin came along, by the way. The dollar is the sinking Titanic on which we were all trapped. Satoshi came along with a ferry full of life rafts, the smartest people are now jumping on the rafts.

Funny thing about the Dollar-Titanic... It's so damn massive that most folks cannot even tell that it's sinking until they're off the ship, and their life raft has traveled a far enough distance to see it clearly...

Similar problem with capitalism, writ large(r).

What we really ought to do is, instead of trying to get the big retailers to notice us, simply focus on using Bitcoin to buy and sell things that we already have. As they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure. In fact, I was just about to see if Wordpress has a plugin that would kinda turn my Woocommerce plugin into a kind of flea market.

Are you talking about solar power or nuclear power ?

Too true.

I was primarily paraphrasing a movie, though not Event Horizon

Secondarily, about solar, nuclear, wind and wave power, and so on. We will run out of oil sooner or later, let the old money fight for it with their debt-based dollars, while a new generation moves on to a brighter future.

Good one. And I heard someplace that we're going to be out of oil in a few decades anyway. Which to me is a case for coming up with an alternative for gasoline for our cars, am I right?
