If I am not mistaken, Bitcoin had been popular nowadays that it used to be before. A lot of people often hear about Bitcoin but do not acknowledge it for they stick with disperse misconceptions. Whether it will bring good or negative impact to the world, a country and human culture if ever recognized by everyone is yet unknown.
If it happen to be recognized by everyone, it can be used to a lot of good things that would bring benefits to people but, as well as illegal deeds. Money laundering, robbery, empowering of block market and conflicts with the banks as well as to the government.
You are not mistaken bro. We cannot even compare the level of awareness of today to few years ago and even at the beginning of last year. Lately in my country, there is just nowhere that I go to that I do not end up seeing someone who already knows about bitcoin and I would be like, for real ?
Times are changing, bitcoin is gaining huge popularity and so many people are seeing it as a chance to get in on a good thing and I am sure this year is going to be a huge one for bitcoin.
I guess that the huge increase in the price for a short time had really helped in the popularity of bitcoin. In our country, people are slowly recognizing bitcoin and even there are news about it on television and with that I think people will become more aware of bitcoin eventually. There are also many investments invites in the social media, though I strongly opposed the idea of it, this somehow helped in introducing bitcoin in larger scale.
Time is really changing and maybe there will come a day that more than half of the population around the world will be into bitcoin.
