Well it is speculated that Satoshi had posted on an internet forum about the concept of bitcoin in the early 2000's, around the time that paypal first came out.
Wowa, you just hit something home to me. PayPal, and eBay also for that matter, have only really been around since 2000, but today we consider them indispensable. Theoretically that is where Bitcoin will be in 15 years.
Yes i believe the same will be with bitcoin maybe less than 10-15years and using ebay as an example someone will create a decentralized ebay but for crypto without the massive fee's that will have people piling threw the crypto doors.
Would love to see the forum where he first hinted on the idea i would screen short that and add it to the crypto memory bank.
So we are saying it took anywhere from 5-10 years what i have got from this..
