Let us compare bitcoin in 2013 and in 2016 in two pics.

LCG we have certainly come a long way since then, and the people who were ignoring us are now copying the concept. We are in the final stages of

disruption, but they are trying to deny us that privilege. Instead of admitting defeat, they counter with sneaky and cunning tactics to avoid full

disruption. We already claim victory, because they had to bend the knee and change their traditional ways to adapt and accept the change in the

financial systems.

Indeed, and what's even better is this hasn't even started to translate in the price. Once all of the progress we've made gets reflected in the price we'll see a rise to 4 figures and everyone that didn't buy will start crying as always, hoping for a correction to get in.

true words. we are building the highways for that at the moment.

Indeed.

Under Enterprises, I can see the name of Intel. How are they involved with Bitcoin (not blockchain) ?

they are most interested in "blockchain" as far as i know but they have some relationships with bitcoin too:

What exactly do the pictures imply? Please explain this for dummies.

the pics show the biggest bitcoin conferences worldwide in 2013 and in 2016  (pic from 2016 shows the schedule of a conference ).

do you see a difference  ?

Earlier conferences add very few attendees, now you can see all the big names at bitcoin cons.

thumbs up

They say Rome was not build in a day. In recent times what we achieved is huge: despite all the debates around BTC this thing is working right now and there's a living economy around it.
Who would ever have believed that 2009? Nobody 

But here we are now.

I do not understand the meaning of the two images, whether they are large companies who invest their money in bitcoin? someone please explain

Most of those people are interested in the blockchain technology rather than in bitcoin itself. It would be interesting to go back to say 2014, when lots of Silicon Valley types were putting venture capital into bitcoin support services, and see if they managed to get a return on their investment. I'd say they haven't yet.

the problem is with the first image i think, it doesn't have enough information in it and not a good comparison with the list of participants in 2016.

anyways it says in 2013 bitcoin didn't have the same amount of supporters like now.

Gavin's presentation was, most probably, the one with most attendees, pretty full room...

that awesome fact,we can't hide from bitcoin lets spread more and more about this great crypto currency,we all here lead the way since 3 years ago,and glad to be part of bitcoin since that.

[mkc]

It is well known transaction number keep making high. This reflected in above two pictures. Probably can attract more business's if Bitcoin is easier to use.

[Yakamoto]

I think that's actually a really good comparison.

Was that image taken before or after the increase in value to $1.2k though? That could have a big effect as to why there is such a difference.

Yes, we have come a long way from 2013 to 2016 and now its the right time for this digital currency to make a mark and establish it in such a way that it will have n boundaries and it shall overcome all the currencies no matter FAIT or Digital.   

[Denker]

So much for Bitcoin is dead right?!
I hope the lists in picture two will have to add much more names with the coming years.
