I am surprised to see that bitcoin adootion is not yet up to 10% of the world's population. See the blue arrow, where we are in 2022, very not close even to 5% of the world adoption. With bitcoin presently at $30000 and having over $500 billion marketcap, I thought the world's adoption would have been more, but not, but an opportunity for people to buy bitcoin.
Even if we are now at some 5%, I would consider it a success, although after 13 years of Bitcoin, we could expect that percentage to be much higher. I'm not surprised that so few people have come into contact with Bitcoin at all, because generally the average person won't understand (or won't want to understand) what Bitcoin is no matter how someone tries to explain it to them. If we reach even 10% in 8 years, it will still be a good result, considering that it would mean that we are approaching 1 billion users globally.
Although, this is said to be conceptual but adoption is what most likely will occur. Some people will be saying it is too late to buy bitcoin, just like some.people said in 2014 when bitcoin price was at $1200 or below, some people also said so in 2017 when bitcoin reached $19600, some people said so when bitcoin price reached $68900 in 2021. Following bear markets and then rise again and reach all-time-high. The probability that six digit is possible in the next long lasting bull run is very high. No one is late to make the continuity of the adoption possible.
People who say it's late mostly use it as an excuse no matter the price - because in 2015 the price was around $200, during 2018 it dropped to only $3000, and the announcement of a pandemic brought it down by as much as 50% to only $5000 and it's always for some expensive. In 5+ years $30k will be considered cheap, but even though the numbers are changing, people are not changing too much.
