What can community members do to contribute to Bitcoin's growth?  |

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

What can community members do to contribute to Bitcoin's growth? I think best thing to do would be get them to use, rather than just telling people about it . Tipping is a wonderful way, but most of the people tip within the reddit bitcoin community itself, which already has enough information about it . |

Try to dispel some of the negative rep BTC has in general. Whenever I try to bring up bitcoin, I'm always hearing the same "I heard on the news that bitcoin is used for drugs and money laundering" and "Bitcoin is the currency for criminals" As a community we need to work together to fight against this negative rep  |

What can community members do to contribute to Bitcoin's growth? Hands down - this is the best way: Print 100 $10 bitcoin paper wallets. (this will actually cost you far less than $1000 in the end). Make the paper wallet on a half sheet with the other half sheet dedicated to introduce bitcoin and wallets. Further, include instructions how to set up a real wallet and to sweep the $10 into that wallet. Pass these out to people who don't know about bitcoin. Most will not bother with learning about bitcoin. For those, you'll be able to recover your $10 of bitcoin because you still have the private key for those wallets. However, if people do discover bitcoin to the extent they are able to sweep your $10 into their private wallet, you never see that money again. However, that person is now a bona-fide bitcoin user. $10 per new user - a great investment. The community would be huge very fast if every bitcoin user today printed and passed out even 10 of these wallets. ($100) Can somebody please help design this 'Bitcoin introductory wallet' in agreement with the concept described above? If we set up a nice standard, all us bitcoin pros can figure out how to fund some and send them to our friends. Whadda you say: good idea? |

talk to the store managers in places you go to often, tell them you want to spend btc in their store. use changetip and similar public apps to make public donations where people can see. or, sponsor others taking initiatives (ahem, shameless self promo link incoming: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=931843.msg10247841#msg10247841) |

Nothing.. just wait. Talk about Bitcoin to other people. Once you learn about it you are hooked, at least one person you tell you will be, and will tell to other people and so on.

Talk to people you know and let them know what BTC is, don't try to lure them in but try to make them understand the concept behind it, doesn't matter if you succeed or not.

Very good question.
In my opinion, one single person can't do much but many people together can do a lot.
Tell people around you about BTC.
Tell local merchants around you about BTC:
Introduce BTC in other forums, newsgroups...

Just use Bitcoin, you (or maybe.. 'they'?) can make a change to Bitcoin by using it. Downloading a wallet but not using is also helping Bitcoin.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Every bitcoiner have friends, most possibly is member of all cind of internet community so can help to spread the word. Also tipping on social media and donating to newcommers and bitcoiners with small amounts can help also. We can make btc very viral and speed up adoption. We all can help in lot of ways.

Spend money at Bitcoin businesses, and attend/host Meet Up events at Bitcoin venues--it incentivizes Bitcoin adoption. Also give to charities which accept Bitcoin--it improves our public image at the same time.
|
We work hard to promote Bitcoin adoption and the decentralization of society. You can support our efforts by donating BTC to 35wDNxFhDB6Ss8fgijUUpn2Yx6sggDgGqS

What can community members do to contribute to Bitcoin's growth? Depends on each one of us position on the community , Student or Employee or Retired etc... Let's say he have a Fast food , the good way is to start accepting Bitcoin on your fast as payment method , or you can simply talk about it to your friends & family and give them some amount to start with why not  |

It has to be spent. I remember back when PayPal was introduced, people were SCARED. They didn't understand how it worked. But now it's the norm and I used it for all my online business payment transactions. I think the important thing is that it can be converted back to your local currency. If not spent, then it has to be transferred from user to user, converted to local currency, etc., until it becomes the normal. Eventually, people will be transferring and spending pure Bitcoin. But that will take a while to become the norm.
