Bitcoin fans always say that Bitcoin is changing the world.
Everyone I know doesn't care about Bitcoin, like at all, like absolutely not at all.
There are 1-2 million Bitcoin users in the world. That's like one grain of sand on an utterly huge shore.
HOWEVER it is a brilliant experiment, and I think it's absolutely fascinating.

Much could be done with Bitcoin, but it's not really used all that much. That's not exactly setting the world on fire.


Am I wrong? Can/will/has it change(d) the world?

Thank you for your posts guys!

Show me a shore containing only 3,562 grains of sand, and I'll show you a child's-pail-sized beach. Make that perhaps a toddler's-[1/4-]spoon-sized beach given that ~7,692,000 grains of sand fill one cup.


3,281,579 Grains of Sand (~1/2 cup)

To address the question posed, yes. Bitcoin, moreover the underlining blockchain and its past, present and future variants, will change the world's financial system as we currently know it. That's why the nefarious actors overseeing the sector are quick to embrace the technology. SHIT! What the fuck were we tricked into creating? Excuse me while I make like an ostrich and hunt for some loose sand.
