Bitcoin is currently a success in the same way Linux is/was a success: in a very tiny niche (geeks, sysadmins, tech-savvy folks, etc ...). Unfortunately, Linux never came out of that niche. It's still in there 15+ years later
I am not a Linux fan, but when I see an Android phone or a MacBook Pro running OS X I see Linux powered devices. Those are hardly niche products.


just wanted to write that too.
