The good thing is, we don't need to wait for the future just to see the market grow. The current situation alone where people already recognize Bitcoin as a good store of value is already a big deal. It helps keep the market stable. Realistically, we can't compete with fiat-based online payment systems in terms of speed and cost as they're cheaper and faster. Bitcoin, on its own network without a third party, can't really match that. But when it comes to value, we have the upper hand and that's exactly why demand will keep growing.
Hm.
There is no denial in the growth of BTC, there is a question of how much of it would be in the hands of common people in the end.
Even if we can't affect it much because BTC is for everyone, it's still a thought to be had sometimes.
