Hm, about adoption - most of the people claim that the security and technology (scaling) are the largest obstacles. Although it is true that those are very large obstacles that Bitcoin has yet to step over, I actually think that the volatility is the biggest problem for adoption with merchants. It is more easy for sponsorship, small ventures etc - they all see Bitcoin as an opportunity and sometimes are willing to risk, same as all of us that are here, but a large vendor needs a stable currency or token, there is no sense in risking a stable business. They can invest in Bitcoin, but that is another thing.

There was once a website called Brawker that worked on the interesting principal. Let's say you wanted to buy something from ebay or amazon for 10$, you'd find a person there who would pay and order your item and you'll pay them slightly more, like 12-13$. You can try the same thing here on the forum.
