How many people here have at least one friend or family member who have recently -- out of the blue -- asked you to tell them again, "Hey what's the deal really with that bitcoin crypto currency stuff you were telling me about last year?"

How many people have a very conservative friend who recently finally opened a coinbase account and put in even just a hundred bucks, to just START learning for themselves how all this stuff really works?

I've had BOTH of those things happen to me recently, in the last month or two, and if it's even slightly representative of what's happening overall in a macro scale of adoption, then we are only at the very start of a really significant hockey-stick curve ramp-up coming over the next year or two.

Could be wrong, though, of course... this is crypto, any damn weird thing can happen LOL -- but that's how it feels/looks to me

I've had 2 in the past month. Both are conservative financially, one very much so (debt-free, lives well below his means, etc.). If someone like him opened a coinbase account, that's a big deal.

Same here. after a lunch at a friends house. % days later i had a whatsapp message saying he spent 100 in coinbase. If the movements are anywhere near normal some of that BTC, LTC and ETH will flow to other alts. I did my part talking about monero...
