it seems less and less people care about this stuff year after year. I don't think the future is as bright for Bitcoin as people want to believe
You are correct. Bitcoin in the end is digital fiat, no backing to it, and became slow and expensive to transfer. The biggest problem is the instability. To be considered money it has to be stable. Imagine that someone paid you on September 23rd. By the time you received your bitcoin it had lost 15% of its value. Pathetic. But that's another story......
