I think we will have a bigger increase in price once it gets more user friendly. We have a GUI wallet but it's not intuitive yet for people without technical skills. Even for me I had to research a little how to receive funds from an exchange because the exchange gave a 64 char payid while the GUI wanted a 16 character one. This is probably some monero feature that got changed over time but until we get stability and easier user experience, I feel kind of like an early adopter now. And if price is already so high for early adopters.... then imagine if it becomes better known in the mainstream of crypto. that's just how I think.

Bearex, that's a valid point, but it's the same with cash. However, it's true we are moving to a cashless society. This is my biggest worry as well, but if monero will get banned for this reason, might as well ban Bitcoin as well because you can't know who owns a public key until they cash out. Apps like Mycelium even change the public key with each transaction now so it's harder to prove when money changes hands until it gets cashed out "in the real world"
