Summary
Despite being hyped and talked about a lot, still very few people own Bitcoin, and even fewer use it regularly, as quantified estimates point to around 3 million active users.
However, Bitcoin, its blockchain network, and the Lightning Network protocol have created a very efficient digital currency and payment system.
In fact, an increasing number of companies are starting to accept Bitcoin, and numerous governments are now classifying Bitcoin as a form of money, and/or legitimate asset.
It is likely that a lot more people become active users of Bitcoin in the future.
Bitcoin's price could go much higher as widespread adoption may be just a matter of time.
Bitcoin's Path To Widespread Adoption
The world is a big place, unfortunately there are not that many Bitcoin (BTC-USD) to go around. Last winter we saw a prelude to what can happen when people in mass want to acquire Bitcoin, the price skyrockets. However, since then Bitcoin’s price has corrected by approximately 70%, and now that it’s close to production cost could represent a level much closer to fair value. Still though, the Bitcoin marketplace is a relatively small market, with almost exponential growth possibilities.
