I'm not sure we can yet say that bitcoin is changing the world. Only 1 % of the population own bitcoin..
but that said, most of these 1%ers are very rich. And it's well-known that rich people influence the world a lot more than others... so I'd say that bitcoin could be making an effect in the global scheme.
I believe that bitcoin will soon gain traction once it's consistently above 20k in value. You saw that when it hit about 15k, so many mainstream investors bought. If it goes beyond 20k... we'll see a fools' gold rush like it was 1800s again XD
