Bitcoin: How Long Until Mainstream Adoption?
The crypto markets are booming and blockchain is becoming all the rage, however we have yet to see mass adoption in the main stream.
How long until mass adoption?
This is the question millions of crypto enthusiasts and investors are asking themselves.
Andreas M. Antonopoulos shared his opinion in a Q&A in December 2016. I believe his message is as important now as it was then. "We are in a race"
He does a great job placing BTC in historical perspective.
Check out the video below.
This video comes from Andreas Antonopoulos's Youtube channel
Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a technologist and serial entrepreneur who has become one of the most well-known and well-respected figures in bitcoin.
Check out some of his other videos, he is a very intelligent man with great insight into the future.
You can also follow him on social media or purchase one of his books.
"How long until mainstream adoption? Previous revolutions in money. In the mid 90s, you still couldn't pay with a credit card in many places. I predict it will take 15-20 years for mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. We are in a race because governments around the world are trying to ban cash and force us to adopt a different sort of digital currency with complete surveillance, where they can flip and switch and you will no longer exist as a person if you doing anything they consider radical. Adoption patterns and the Gini coefficient. The ownership of Bitcoin is not as diverse as it should be, primarily because of the way it grew. But people who got in early and took the risk have been enormously rewarded; no one's coming to bail out Bitcoin. "
Its slowly happening now. I can spend it at my grocery store with a mastercard. My grandma, mom, brother all own bitcoin. Friends and family around the world are all buying and investing their time to learn more right now! I get calls daily asking for help. The future is now!

I have interacted with a few Steemians this week, who are new to cryptocurrency. They are all excited and eager to learn. What an amazing time we live in!
I feel that too right!
It sure seems like we are getting somewhere. I have to think that if governments get too pushy with their cashless agendas, it will just drive people to crypto and stateless solutions. I guess we'll see.
I can definitely feel a new momentum in the crypto space. I am going to try and have my analysis of the Ethereal Summit out sometime tomorrow, definitely some interesting take a ways from that about where we are going.
I think the adoption will increase quicker at an exponential rate. And that is even without a crisis to speed up the process even more. My uninformed guess would be less than 5 years.
The future is in our hands my friend :)
I am running a small giveaway with my latest post and would truly appreciate any support.

No problem, I stopped by, gave you a nice upvote and followed.
Did someone think about the fact that we are slowly entering quantum computers era?How will blockchains hold there?Is there a long term future in cryptocoins?
I will be covering quantum computers and quantum cryptography in my Cryptology series after I cover key management.
