My gf for months and months heard me talk about Bitcoin and didn't understand it, thought it was stupid, thought I was crazy, and just knew it was going to fail. 

It has had some pretty bad hits, but it hasn't failed, but instead in many ways is growing and growing. 

When I first talked about Bitcoin, there was no Bitcoin companies in our country, not one place to buy Bitcoin, not one place the spend it. 

Now we have some pretty nice exchanges, good phone apps, ATMs and actual places to spend Bitcoin (but still not that many).

As time has gone on, she turned from complete Bitcoin disbeliever to curious skeptic to now believer. 

Now when a bank charges her a high fee, she complains and imagines a world where Bitcoin has done away with that nonsense. 

She is now starting to tell some of her friends about it, all of which think she is crazy, but in time......

Nice to hear.

The next (almost impossible step) would be now trying to convince your parents and grand-parents what it is and how it works.

Imagine how fun that'd be LOL /end ones self.

That's the way it's going to go all around the world for a while, I believe.

I found this funny:

"Tell CoinTelegraph Your Banking Horror Stories by November 28 and win 3BTC!"

http://cointelegraph.com/news/112951/tell-cointelegraph-your-banking-horror-stories-by-november-28-and-win-3btc

We should be seeing a lot of banking horror stories coming out soon.

Good. It is the power of public opinion that will appeal to the new ppl to understand the advantages offered by bitcoin. As bitcoin is becoming popular around us, more ppl will buy and spend it.

Very good testimony and way to go!
We, Bitcoin users, should be more active and promote bitcoin as much as we can, not just to the people around us, but to local businesses, merchants etc.
People will start using bitcoin when they will see may options to spend their bitcoins, not before...

Your girlfriend sounds a lot like my wife, except that my wife is still a disbeliever and thinks I am an idiot.
