i think the term bitcoin has entered the mainstream, but i don't think that its function has even approached normalcy in any society on earth, yet.
Well, if people use the term, they should at least know what it means... right?
Obviously they don't know what it means exactly.
It's possible that they will do research on Bitcoin, and start to use it. There are many businesses which have just recently started to accept Bitcoin. On r/bitcoin you always see "___ restaurant/shop accepts Bitcoins now"
Don't worry. I once forgot to put a decimal on a dice game and instead of betting .0001 I bet 0001 (1) coin and with my luck lost 3 times = 3 coins. I asked for a refund for my mistake and received nothing.
If you won, you wouldn't have asked for a refund, would you?
