Rpietila calculates that if crypto-currency can be used by even a small segment of the world's population, then the market cap has to rise to those lofty levels.

He genuinely believes that. It is not some ploy.

My disagreement with him is that there are other powerful interests trying to be the one to spread electronic money globally, e.g. Apple Pay, Paypal, and now even IBM is going to fork Ethereum.

Something amazing is going to happen, it just isn't clear yet whether we small investors can be part of it or not.

We developers need to do everything within our abilities to make it so.

So rpietila may or may not choose the correct horse and racetrack. But he will not be wrong about electronic currency taking over globally.

Edit: why do I defend rpietila? Because I dealt with him on silver trades in 2008/9, and I observed his ethics. He bent over backwards to make sure I was not harmed in deals, even those where his counter party screwed him over.

rpietila is the prophet of delusional and greedy people, those who believe him and agree with his nonsense are usually the ones that couldn't achieve anything in life and have no way or even hope to achieve anything by working innovating inventing or leading, so the only hope they see is Bitcoin making their lives better and thinking they will be as lucky as rpietila, logically this becomes their faith and Risto become their prophet... as simple as that.

So imagine what we think about you.

I don't know what you think about me, all I know is that I don't agree/tolerate and hate the nonsense rpietila is planting into this community, it makes the whole scene looks like an organized ponzi, we don't need people like him around, he has zero real contribution to this community.
