on a scale from 1 to 10 i'm at 8/10 because this has been proven many times that BTC are widely and well supported by loads of people.
Scaling is an issue but i'm confident it will be solved soon (and i'm looking at you 2018) because this can't be ignored anymore, other than that if you are not living under a rock, you see talking about bitcoin everywhere, newspaper, community, hell now even memes on the internet are about bitcoin.
One of them is:
A boy asked his bitcoin-investing dad for 1 bitcoin for christmas
Dad: What? $15544?! $14767 is a lot of money! What do you need $16784 for anyway?
pretty funny because it reflected the last couple of months or even days/hours
