How much for Bitcoin Users adoption

[hpenvy]

The amazing thread about how much does it cost for a new user really got me thinking. For those of us who attend Bitcoin meetups, we are well aware of the resistance trying to introduce them to Bitshares. Is there a system in place or a system in the works that would allow Bitcoin holders to also participate in our ecosystem? In other words, they could leverage their Bitcoin without having to necessarily sell it?  If we could provide a mutually beneficial ramp, I feel like we could see quicker adoption.  Maybe I'm completely off base, just thinking out loud.

I'd love to be able to go to my hardcore Bitcoin holders and say, "You can use your existing Bitcoin to do x in the BitShares ecosystem".
