Just realised:
having talked about Bitcoin for years now to individuals, media, politics, financial industry and whoever else was interested, I always made sure to make clear that this is an experiment. A very successful experiment (most of the imes) but still an experiment. I did so just like many other early birds to Bitcoin because back then we agreed that this would be a reasonable approach when trying to explain that new technology to people who think we want to sell them a ponzi.
I only just realised that neither have I used the term "experiment" in any presentation or interview in the last at least six months or so anymore nor have I heard anyone else do so.
So: is it not an experiment anymore?
And: when was the moment it stopped being an experiment? Was there one? And if so: which moment was this?
Honestly, just being impressed by the progress this is making and wondering ...

edit: the question is:
_Is Bitcoin still an experiment or is it already the new paradigm?_
