I can confirm this. A lot of people are aware of Bitcoin as an alternative today. When I started with Bitcoin almost four years ago, most call me a fool when I try to talk about Bitcoin to them. But times has changed. When Craig Steven Wright was considered as Satoshi some weeks ago, and the media reported a lot of it, many people asked me about Bitcoin and how they could start with Bitcoin. The interest is growing and growing daily. Bitcoin has a bright future!
I don't think we need to worry about the future of bitcoin, as it is getting more popular day by day and it will reached to many people worldwide in coming years.
I agree. The ecosystem is way advanced now for it to just disappear overnight. Options are becoming available where they weren't before. More and more people are getting involved.
