giving up on bitcoin now is a little like giving up on the internet in the late 80s/early 90s.
and I think it's a much harder sell than the internet so it may take considerably longer before it's anywhere near ubiquitous.
it's not gonna happen on a timescale that matches the average human's patience.
Nice description, we can see where is internet now after + 25 years. If bitcoin be nearly successful like internet is, then this guys from Circle will come back into bitcoin world. It may take longer time for bitcoin to be accepted like internet, internet didnt have competition like bitcoin have now in old currencies. People have habits and for them its hard to give up fiat, this guys give up on wrong currency.
