• The world would pretty much be the same with or without Bitcoin, the affected would be the minority who are into Bitcoin and to those it would be a huge void as we have gotten used to having a reliable alternative from centralized Fiat.
• To the minority who use Bitcoin for it's qualities, yes.
There are many people in the world who do not use bitcoins. They have no knowledge of bitcoins. For those huge populations, digital money is still plastic cards (Credit/ debit cards). If there were no bitcoin, nothing would have changed, rather the governments and the banks would have been relieved to see that no currency exists for the people over which people have control. I still think governments wants a bitcoin free economic system.
