I do believe that we do not have to wait for anyone to realize that bitcoins is something that is going to be used in the future. We have a lot of problems with the fiat system and therefore we have to improve it.. bitcoins on the other hand is something that can be used to improve the shortcomings of fiat system.
yes , I think this is true BTC is the key technology of the future, now a lot of people support BTC, not only that BTC is becoming more and more popular and more people know this is a matter of course in the near future stop.
I do think that not just bitcoins but other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum are going to be very popular in the upcoming time. Colleges are adding crypto projects into their curriculum already people are being employed on basis of their crypto knowledge. The future is for sure bright but it also depends on how far the government lets us take it.
