I would not be so surprised if this has become the reality because bitcoin is actually the currency that we need. We need to have some freedom from the government and not have every single transaction of us recorded on their database. Money should circulate around people freely and it should have a record open to everyone to be seen. The government has seriously large amounts of transactions where the money of the nation goes to someone who doesn't deserve it. Our taxes goes to things that aren't beneficial to us and that has to stop.


The price of bitcoin isn't a direct indication that our community has grown. But just because the price of bitcoin has increased by another 1k$, that doesn't mean there was a surge in population. Similarly, just because the price isn't moving at all, that doesn't mean our population is not growing. The price that we have right now cannot be used as a "sign" that shows that bitcoin will be the future currency because there are only a million, or even less, in our population. That's almost nothing compared to the population of the whole world. The majority of the population has to become a bitcoin user before it becomes the virtual currency that you are imagining.
