But "not much" is completely different from "nothing," and it would be a massive mistake to presume "little real world impact" because you haven't seen it now,

  I said little real world impact because after many years and billions of dollars, the number of people outside of the industry who’d be inconvenienced if it disappeared is very small - perhaps a few people who can save a percentage over Western Union and some people in Venezuela who prefer laundering money that way. Contrast that with things like the web which despite much higher barriers to adoption had been incorporated into normal people’s lives within a couple of years. In less than the time bitcoin has been around, we went from the pre-iPod era to one where most people were connected everywhere and the way people worked, played, traveled, dated, etc. had changed notably.
