2012: The use of Bitcoin was controlled by early adopters, developers and small-scale online retailers. Worldwide reception was very poor. There was no exchange and wallets were primarily desktop.

Controlled or Used? Bitcoin has been and still remains a decentralized system
No exchange in 2012? MtGox 2010 and Bitstamp around 2011 and they were still operating in 2012

What do you suppose is the next major milestone of Bitcoin as we look forward in years?

What will adoption and technology look like in 2030?

I can't recall being a Time traveller so anything I say would be based on adoptions
But I'm sure the coming few years would decide how Bitcoin future will pan out
It has entered the spotlight for the first time. Let's see how it does.
