Don't get me wrong, when I actually vote (which is rare), I'll vote LP candidates. But to call them major is silly. They are completely irrelevant. Voting them is the equivalent of an old man yelling at the clouds. Which is why I no longer bother participating the process and instead support something like Bitcoin which has actual chances of forcing changes needed.
Two party way of thinking is reality. The system is designed in a way such that that is the inevitable result. Followed by both parties becoming incredibly similar on 99% of issues and bickering over the most insignificant of issues and driving people into a frenzy supporting one part over the other due to outrage over the other party's position on such issues.
If you want people to buy Bitcoins, make their life *better* by using them. Find something they couldn't do or is painful to do, and use Bitcoins to solve the problem. Not simply buy them with the hopes of pumping and dumping. If Bitcoin cannot legitimately make peoples lives better, then it surely will fail and only be a ponzi scheme.
