Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Digital Asset. 
It is recognized as property in many countries, including UK and the US. In Germany, it is regarded as currency.
Very true. I only know of about 5 Australians who are on bitcointalk, and there's only one bitcoin atm in my state. It's also down for maintainance 24/7...
Yeah, although bitcoin is still going through adoptions and still has a long way to go till it becomes a complete global currency, I'd say that we're getting there. There are more people right now that know about bitcoin, than 2 years ago. Which is obviously good.
I'd say that within 5 years we will see a major shift in wealth into bitcoin.
