RE: How many people touched Bitcoin up to 2017 and what is the current adoption pace?
Here I went over all of this few weeks ago, and I really explained how at one to a few million current active users worldwide, we could make the price go from $1000(a few weeks ago) to $ 1 million if we have a 1000 percent increase in users which can happen when we go from the 1 million current active users to a full saturation of the 4 billion total internet users out of the 7 billion total humans....and out of that over 4 billion are online and around 3 and a half billion have smartphones with the ability to use a bitcoin wallet..and there are over fifty billion smartphones out there so theres enough for everyone, including the 700 million people in poverty who go to bed hungry everynight, we can give them all a smartphone too, and send em steller and ripple, which will go up one ay, we can help end poverty with bitcoinand altcoins
and we can be SURE that the prce will continue to climb ! Why would it not People are ust beginning to find real uses for bitcoin.. people are JUST THIS YEAR figuring out how much money it can save them!
WE ARE THE GUINNEI pigs! The corporate and banking world is watching this little subculture of internet people all thriving right now and they will wanna help join the party and with real massive investments coming in, we will see even people buying bitcoin past 2000 will be able to make a profit when bitcoin goes to $4,000 and everyone who bought at $1000 will feel the magic of making 4 times their proit while everyone who buys now even to 2000 will also feel the magic of having double their money! And then people wgo buy at $4000 will STILL benefit when the price goes all the way to $40,000 and there it will stay...untill it crashed five thousand dollars at a time doown to 35,000 but then people will buy it and back it will go to 40,000 and oh while this is happening altcoins will al be going so high so just buy as MANy as you can now before youwont be able to!
And buy as many mining contracts as you can afford! Mining will only become more and more profitable as bitcoins price goes up to $4,000 by the end of this year and who knows maybe it will actually reach 40,000 by the end of this year!
I dont think anyone really eexpected 2017 to be so sucesful for bitcoin ad altcoins even more so, this bull market just keeps going as if its reflecting how bitcoin rose 1 million percent in value, altcoins have a long way up and so does bitcoin!

Yes, the models look very optimistic although there is always some risk involved as always something can go wrong. Still, now risk is much better distributed than in 2013/2014. So yeah, question now is not if but when it becomes mainstream. Another interesting thing is that even though it looks a bit like pozi scheem due to doubling prices, etc., even last adopters will not be robbed. Adoption curve is not speaking about price decline but only about, well, adoption. Good thing is that even last adopters will loose nothing except big investment/risk opportunity. Real looser might be financial institutions that will not adapt, but I don't think they are that stupid and I guess they are already slowly buying. Right now I'm really wondering if it goes smoothly up or if there will be some big shocks. I would be surprised if old system accepts this shift of paradigm without serious fight. Major elites always fought for control over money supply. They might like Ripple because it only increase their profits and doesn't take power from them but they still hates Bitcoin and most of alt crypto projects.
