The KNF is also known to be slow in processing licenses (some say up to 30 months), which adds to the risk.

I would have been in favour if it doesn't take this long to process a licence. I'm not sure if it's actually true, but if it is, then it's not good. Why exactly does it take that long? That's over two years of waiting for a license to do business in the country. I understand that these things take time, but a maximum of one year should e enough for every check and processing. 

1) Are these penalties (10M PLN fine, 2 years prison) too harsh for the industry?

No, they're not too much. The penalty for defaulting should be huge so people won't default. If it was a little something they can pay easily, they will break the law and simply pay the fines.

2) Will this protect users, or just kill off competition and leave the market to a few big players?[/glow]

Aside from the fact that the processing period for the licences is too long, I don't think it will affect competition in the market. Or there may be other factors we are unaware of, such as licenses being too expensive for smaller firms or big firms being prioritised over small firms in the country.

With this statistics given by The Chainalysis they determine the methodology they use to get the data's of Bitcoin global adoption see it here https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2025-global-crypto-adoption-index/
This data appears to any extent that Chainalysis gets data from the central exchanges and services that process user data (KYC)
privacy has become very difficult.

Indeed.

Nowadays, every centralized place would want to have crypto services - and older generations flock to it, giving the sources to work around with such data, while also exposing yourself to such analysis.

There are no fortune tellers, it's just speculation. They are only convincing themselves with what they have found and know so that they can make assumptions based on their point of view.

What Ambatman said could be true. Additionally, some whales move their Bitcoin to new addresses for security reasons, which doesn't necessarily mean they're selling it. There are also many old addresses that deposit Bitcoin into exchanges, but not to sell it, but to distribute it to several addresses for security reasons. Smart whales usually don't accumulate their Bitcoin in one address, so don't be surprised by transfers or old addresses becoming active again after being dormant for a long time.
You're right. It's easy to say or view speculators as seers or fortune tellers because some times their predictions end up being right but the truth is if there had been seers, and one had made said that at a given period of time, Bitcoin would climb to a $100k+ I'm sure that those who sold their coins wouldn't have because everyone would want to make huge profit so they would keep but since it was speculation that Bitcoin might get to a $100k, not everyone gave it much importance because even though it had the tendency to happen, not everyone believed it would.
Sometimes we will be confused between predictions and hopes, at least people think before that will reach $ 100k is hope for themselves and the situation is the same as now to reach $ 150k, there is a prediction that makes it hope, then depending on how you consume it.

Fortune teller or indigo or whatever can see the future indeed for people who are realistic or their lives are full of logic perspectives will be very difficult to accept, but for some people who believe we cannot stop it, and these two things can have different paths and exist in this world.

Curious to hear your thoughts: is percentage adoption in small countries more significant, or does sheer volume of holders in big countries carry more weight?
Everything is important. Another one that I know of is the percentage number of people that hold most crypto. In that case, it is United States and the second country is far below United States if they are both compared.

All these information are important. The countries with the largest markets are also very important because it shows how useful crypto is in such countries.

Bitcoin was not here with us couple of years back but Bitcoin is here so can it survive decades like normal money?

Firstly you need to correct some of the things as Bitcoin was not only here couple of years back but it is it has been here for more than a decade. If you see this then you will know that while most of the old crypto coins vanished but the Bitcoin is still alive and is on its very high prices at the moment.

Unless there isn't any threat from the quantum computing (which at the moment isn't), it's very likely that bitcoin is here to stay and soon compete with the marketcap of Gold.

I agree.

Bitcoin wouldn't even need to go for the caps of something bigger - I would be happy if it would be just as accepted as anything fiat like, and then the demand, along with the price, would grow by itself naturally and eventually would surpass this and that, but in the long run, cap is just a cap - what matters is adoption.

Is there any news about Non-Custodial services?
If the registration is simple (does not need 30 months) and the requirements are simple, it may be useful, otherwise this is a kind of ban as the large companies will be able to comply.

How are these polls conducted? Because I think the numbers are way way too high.

If they are conducted using surveys of financial services such as someones doing their own investing such as with Robinhood markets, then the results are skewed because those are usually younger individuals which dont represent the general population.

Most baby boomers have never head about bitcoin, yet alone hold it. It seems to be fairly popular with the younger crowd mostly. I also find it hard to believe the UAE has such a huge percentage.


With this statistics given by The Chainalysis they determine the methodology they use to get the data's of Bitcoin global adoption see it here https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2025-global-crypto-adoption-index/

These also shows that the statistics by generation or age https://coinlaw.io/crypto-user-demographics-statistics/

Only few baby boomers knows about Bitcoin but its good that this technology already exist since for sure there would be some time that they would discover it, especially that Bitcoin is already in the mainstream.

The younger always get to something new faster than the older ones: it's the natural way of things.

And that doesn't mean that some baby boomer doesn't know about BTC nor that any younger man knows about BTC for sure - but it's a trend that continues on for quite a while.
