I think what a lot of bitcoin users see as a great scenario -- Bitcoin bringing down the banks, changing the world economy, destroying the use of fiat. - This scenario has it's own associated bad scenario that millions of actual people would suffer during this shift of economic function. IMO.

I had been hearing about it online for years, seeing it being used, hearing how it is was being used for silk road etc. all whilst just choosing to not actually figure out what it was exactly until about 3 months ago I was like, enough with this i need to know what is going on, and i have pretty much not been interested in anything but crypto since that point. 

I am holding ANS at the moment, so I am really hoping for a move up, but, that is not what i think will happen. I don't get a feeling of confidence in the project from the general community, except for the people screaming lambo..

I am in Australia, and while it is still struggling for common use, its popularity in terms of people talking about it is definitely on the rise. I see this as a good sign that things are moving forward.
