To be honest I'm not sure that's a bad thing. How is forcing small businesses to accept bitcoin very different from forcing them to accept the dollar? Because I have a preference for bitcoin? I'd say that legal tender laws are a violation of freedom of association.
People trust Fiat because it's enforced by the state; The state legitimizes it.
The gross majority of the populace "need" a central entity to say the "safe word" and legitimize Bitcoin, to "enforce" it, because only then it's deemed acceptable by the former, à la: The state trusts it, thus I can trust it too!
