Is that so? well i do think that we're not that early, but still it's still not considered a lot though. Like for example, for sure now bitcoin is more popular, it's more mainstream than it used to be, a lot people using it already whether as currency or as investment. However if we compared the total number of people with the number of people involved in cryptocurrency, I believed that the ratio is still so small. Even not many countries adopt it yet, although there are some that already took the first step, but there are still many that ban bitcoin, or just don't give a care about bitcoin at all. So I guess we still have such a long way to go though.
These countries who ban bitcoin didn't understand the whole capabilities of it. Most probably their intentions was not good and commendable for their allies, considering the fact that bitcoin was a decentralized asset. Fiat economy is really different with unregulated currency and example of that bitcoin and entire crypto coins.
