do you think anything has changed from a year ago when you wrote that?

how likely is it that fewer people are using bitcoin now?

I think that (puts on tinfoil hat) we will eventually have a collapse of the dollar and the US treasury market, because the united states is living way way beyond its means.

Add to that the indebted European countries (ie France) and the civil unrest associated with 'something for nothing' (unfunded government liabilities in france but all of Europe too) and I believe there will be revolutions in many of these countries and greater bitcoin adoption will be a byproduct.

Property rights and sound money will happen in the common parlance... when fiat has completely, utterly failed which I think it will eventually even if it takes a long time in western countries. Sometimes people have to lose it all before they recognize the value that sound money provides to them.

In specific answer to your question we need to have a far more open mind when it comes to expectations as to how long it takes for perspectives to shift. Last time i really thought hard about adoption I came to the conclusion we need 10 more years.
