too many cryptocurrency and people seek adoption and get excited when big service start using it (amazon,..) but do you really think that the gouverment and banks would stands by and loose its control ,of course no they will find a way to centralize it
in that case how would the world economic lool like ?
isnt in the very notion of adoption that we loose Satochi vision the very notion that crypto is built on?
Yes we want massive adoption because we all wanted that bitcoin would grow and develop,its price as well but it doesn't mean that other currencies would lose its value that could make governments to get panic from it and make bitcoins and other currencies on their control.Digital currency was just another option to make our work easier and fast.Theres a choice of its user where to prefer to use fiat or digital currency.
Mass adoption is even a good thing based on real value as a currency and even if there will be any form of regulation, that is going to be restricted to exchanges and not P2P transaction like the OP made it sound.
If bitcoin ends up not being used like what the dude (OP) is saying, then what should be driving demand and what is the point at the end of the day. If he is not confused, then I would rather say he has not been able to understand the satoshi vision just yet and he will need to go back to understand it better.
