We are a half decade away, at least, from widespread BTC use.

I'm sure many people said similar things about website use back in 1993. Turns out they were wrong.

Really? Because you're making my point. Internet usage was finally widespread a decade after 1993.

Bah! Somehow I read that as "half century".

I'm in 100% agreement that mainstream use of bitcoin is probably at least a half decade away.

Damn. I was looking for a fight!
