I believe that the hype has barely even begun. Only 1 percent of the global population owning any cryptocurrency and news of banks and financial institutions looking incorporate blockchain technology and invest in cryptocurrencies; I think there will be a more mainstream adoption in the coming 18-24 months.
I was busy thinking that the percentage of people in the world was above 10%. Wow for an infant technology, with just 1% of the world's population, Yet it has achieved this much hype.
What happens when another 1% adds to this stellar technological innovation, then we will look for a word higher than hype because the hype will be massive. I'm in for the long term and I am proud to be among the 1% of people using bitcoin.
