Supermine said it right. We are in the early days of cryptocurrencies as a whole. Try going out of your house and see if you can find a BTC accepting store near you. You found none? Of course you did. Thats because theres less than 5% of the world's population use or own cryptocurrencies.

True, the fact there is a lot of money invested in bitcoin and alts does not meant that we have reached any kind of big adoption, I have yet to see a single store in my country accepting bitcoin and if I saw it I will buy whatever they are selling just to support them, I still think we are below 1% when it comes to adoption, so this should be very telling because once we reach 5% or 10% I think we are going to see a chain reaction in which most stores will begin to accept bitcoin.

On a large scale we are not even close. However, I still want to believe we are going to be getting past the adoption phase pretty soon. Is it not becoming obvious ?

First, some investors are still scared and looking to see if it is right to get in or not, some have taken the bold step, institutions gradually are stepping, the LN will increase the speed of transactions and make bitcoin even more usable, once we hit those stage, we are going to even be getting past the growth phase, so for now, I will say we are just there in between the adoption and growth phase.

Where not even close since their are some people still afraid on investing with it since the government are the one who's creating some panic and spread some news that crypto's are scam/illegal. But we cannot literally say on what phase are we since we are in the middle of nowhere right now since theirs no huge institution covering/backing it up.

People wont easily trust bitcoin or on any things online specially when its not backed by the government plus having a false claim or fuds which would really worsen the situation even more this is why adoption cant really reach out on its full scale but well as long it is being considered it has still lots of space to progress on.
