[2015-11-30] Digital Currency Is Slowly Winning The Popularity Contest

[jdebunt]

There is no denying how Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular, despite stern warnings from central banks around the world. While Bitcoin may pose a risk due to it not being controlled by banks or authorities, that is also one of the selling points of this popular digital currency. Mainstream adoption is still a little while away, the there is a growing demand and respect for what bitcoin is trying to achieve.

The article gave no evidence to why they think digital currency is becoming more popular, except there are more unique bitcoin addresses. I believe the increase in transaction volume or address came from the the same number of users sending them to different places because we can do more with our bitcoins now. I hope Bitcoin is slowly becoming more popular, I just don't see it around me.

Am I too pessimistic? No, I want to see more evidence when journalists make such claims.
