Anyone know where is located Nauru Island or Belize in this world? No.. No they do not
Anyone know what is their currency? No.. They do not
Anyone know the previous president of Philippines? No.. They do not

Of course you will find people who know theses informations but the majority didn't
Bitcoin went famous in the media when the price was around $1200, before that it wasn't that known (same goes for my last example)
When they built cars for the first time, not everyone was having one, and for sure people in some place around the world didn't heard about it.
It is a matter of time gentleman, everyone will hear about it one day, just wait for the big push Wink

And even when you do occasionally find someone that does know or has heard of bitcoin, many times they don't "really" know about bitcoin. Their knowledge consists of the usual fud talking points and misconceptions they've heard from talking heads on tv and so-called economic and market experts say about bitcoin.

I think these people also contribute to the current state of early adoption phase as they will also eventually come around when they finally realize, bitcoin is legit.

many will have heard the word in passing. they won't know what it means. i think it'll be at least 5-10 years before it dawns on a small number of people in global terms.

Here most people have heard about it and the blockchain technology has passed the news several times.
But having heard about it and knowing what it is, is different. People here do know the value and the unpredictability of the currency, from which I think it is holding them back to look deeper in it.

Every time I go to the bank I like to ask them if they have heard of BTC, most of the time the answer is no.
I do ask a lot of people about BTC.. a restaurant near me.. near ish use to accept it as well, I asked to pay with it, they said it no longer exists.. .... ...

Most people I find still have zero idea what BTC is unless they are friends with the likes of us.. I don't think we are even in early adoption stage.. we are in "the chasm" .. it would appear we are going to survive though... appear anyways..

I dunno just something I have taken note of.

Pretty much everyone that has heard of it assumes it's worth like 5 cents and shits themselves when I say it's $1k (Cad) .. we are in very interesting times with BTC.
