Planting seeds. It was part of Bill Hicks' message when he hilariously commented on our culture.

"I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root."

Now that quote is plucked from context, but planting seeds is what he did with every one of his rants in defense of common sense, whether he said so or not.

Awareness and adoption

Cryptocurrency awareness and adoption is the seed I want to plant in the minds of every day people. There are plenty of ravings out there about why using a decentralized community-driven currency has advantages to the old banking system so I won't get too far into it. But personally, I think that daily Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency such as Steem Dollar use can, at the very least, provide competition to banks. Banks that have monopolized finance a bit too far into the information age with their slow/outdated practices and often poor customer service.

"Do you take Bitcoin yet?"

That is the question. For every purchase I make, as best as I can remember, I have been asking "Do you take Bitcoin yet?" At big chain and individual stores or restaurants alike. To an owner, a manager, even to an employee who has no say in the matter. I hope it might make them ask themselves some questions: "Should I/we take Bitcoin?", "Why don't we?", "What's Bitcoin?", "Should I buy some?" They might inquire with their bosses. Seeds planted.

"yet"

Saying yet implies it's inevitable. It can also make the question funnier to someone who discounts Bitcoin. I'm fine with it if someone interprets it as a joke! A smile is worth it.

What do you think? Have you tried something similar? Do you think there's a related or better way? Please leave a comment!
