    Found this article while reading things on the web:

    "Minority Rules: Scientists discover tipping point for the spread of ideas"

    http://scienceblog.com/46622/minority-rules-scientists-discover-tipping-point-for-the-spread-of-ideas/

    I found this interesting:

    Quote
    “When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,” said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. “Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame.”

    Could it be that simple? If you convinced just one out of ten people you know to use bitcoin, could it spur the growth curve that we've all been wondering about?

    Share your opinions, please.
