99.9% of my entourage and random street people don't know what is Bitcoin. We are far from mainstream.
Have you literally walked down the street and asked random people if they knew what Bitcoin was and kept a tally?
I meet random people almost everyday and most of them have no idea what Bitcoin is.
Exactly. I ask every new person I meet if they've heard of bitcoin and so far, globally, there have only been TWO that heard of it before I told them... These two people had only heard of it and that's it. Beyond hearing of it, they knew nothing about it. This comes from someone who meets a lot of intelligent people from around the world on a regular basis.
Although bitcoin has definitely risen in popularity, it is FAR from mainstream.
