but the reality is And wouldn't it be nice if Bitcoin changed that reality for the better, a little bit? So I come back to my original point, adoption is margnial, at best. Especially in poor countries. Which I never argued. I merely pointed out that Bitcoin has some additional useful properties on top of being a very volatile electronic gold equivalent.

> And wouldn't it be nice if Bitcoin changed that reality for the better, a little bit? It would, for sure. But I'm not sure how - people need to become rich enough to afford smartphones/laptops and a reliable internet access first. That implies we'd have solved a big chuck of the other problems first :( > Which I never argued. You're right, sorry if my post was misleading. You just pointed out other advantages of bitcoin over gold (which are correct).
