I would like to use bitcoin exclusively. No more fiat. But I pay people, and if I were to pay them with bitcoin they wouldn't be able to do much with the Bitcoin other than exchange for fiat.
The stores where they buy gas and food won't accept bitcoin. And why should they? Everyone can pay in fiat and almost nobody can pay in bitcoin.
How can we escape this cycle? What small actions can we take to make our lives more and more bitcoin without requiring a Herculean coordinator to cause the whole community to go bitcoin at once?
