interesting interview

"Personally, I still see Bitcoin as an 8-year-old Proof of Concept which should have been stopped some time ago"

Bitcoin - after 8 years of development has 6000 active nodes and roughly 10 mln wallets.

For comparason here is numbers of Facebook active users by years:

1 million End of 2004.
5.5 million End of 2005.
12 million End of 2006.
20 million April 2007.
50 million October 2007.
100 million August 2008.
150 million January 2009.
175 million February 2009.
200 million April 2009.
250 million July 2009.
300 million September 2009.
350 million End of 2009.
400 million February 2010.
500 million July 2010.
608 million End of 2010.
750 million July 2011.
800 million September 2011.
845 million End of 2011.
901 million March 2012.
955 million June 2012.
1.01 billion September 2012.
1.06 billion December 2012.
1.11 billion March 2013

I guess in 2020 Bitcoin will have 8000 active nodes and 15 mln wallets.
