Spent the day last week in San Fransisco, California. Walked around for hours with a friend of mine... went to cheap areas, expensive areas, tourist areas, non-tourist areas...

How many Bitcoin Accepted Here stickers did I see?
Zero.

How many stickers at merchant shops or small stores did I see saying anything about 'Bitcoin Accepted'?
Zero.

I don't get it honestly. Even on BTCMap there's basically nowhere in San Fransisco a prominent city where you can pay in Bitcoin. There's like one Smokeshop (I don't smoke) but that's it. I don't understand it.

By network effect I meant to say that a lot of people are aware about btcmap. Low retail adoption is another matter. I blame tax and accounting headaches.

I think Bitcoiners are living in a social bubble.
