It is already. Bitcoin has now reached it's point where a lot of people are now familiar with it. Unlike the time when I started, many does not even have an idea that bitcoins or cryptocurrency exists. That was just months back actually. And now, everyone knows what it is and evryone has their own opinion about it. Some are saying it's a trap, a bubble that will burst. And some are saying it will continue to go up for several more years to come.
But the point is, it is already the big thing. With the help of social media most especially facebook, the Bitcoin popularity dramatically increased together also with the demand and value. Also, the news on television also helped as Bitcoin now is being talked about and even a hot topic lately.
Well i agree on that and i believe that bitcoin is not really the next big thing because it is now the big thing in cryptocurrency field and it is really getting more and more popular each day because people found out that bitcoin is the number 1 source of thier extra income so then the people really amazed in bitcoin.
