prolific posting
this has been my opinion the moment I grasped the idea of Bitcoin and the importance of its network effetct
to quote rpetila the amount of Bitcoin pregnancies is at an ALL TIME HIGH
there are already extremely wealthy entrenched interested that have jumped on board.
there will be a tipping point, a black swan event that will see a mass exodus of fiat money into Bitcoin
it only takes ONE major entity; bank, company, government, person to buy in and others will follow, not wanting to be left outside.
another considerable impact will be customers that, with the help of companies like Circle, will be able to transfer to BTC seamlessy. Peter R had a great post describing a sort of "enlightenment" he had about individuals around him having the ability to so easily "invest" in BTC's wave through their smartphone app. I could easily empathize with him. I too, have friend who I have discussed BTC with and know it only takes ONE upside move for them to jump in. the moment Circle is open for everyone in the world to use it will be an enormous step forward for Bitcoin.
one thing is for sure, corporations are not going to be left behind. the moment they feel that are losing a grip on things, their move will be swift and indeed, massive. they will have their own arms race where every one will compete for a bigger stake.
from there on it is every man for its own
