Concerning adoption, although lots of individuals, governments and businesses are yet to adopt it but there's a progress from what it used to be like in the early days, lots more people are beginning to see the potential it has as an asset and are seizing the opportunity to own infaxt there's more awareness than before so yes Bitcoin is thriving as the years goes by.
I think the adoption is beyond what we can call individuals, we have 3 to 4 countries that has adopted Bitcoin and allow it as legal tender, although the countries are not large in population but that's a win if you consider it as an adoption. We also have coperate companies and organization that are holding Bitcoin as there reserve in billions, this is how big adoption of Bitcoin has been and maintained its true decentralization without anyones interest in it.
Recently their has been some geopolitical interest in Bitcoin especially from the United States, the president is a Bitcoin guy and loves it just that I hate how he talks too much because he doesnt filter his mouth, his actions always comes with a consequences on the market, today he is fighting this country and tomorrow he is doing another one but Bitcoin changes with time, it will fade out and all their interests will not count again.
Yeah When speaking of nations, even though only a small number of them have accepted Bitcoin as a legal tender and they are not that big, it still counts. The adoption must begin somewhere. More than that, the presence of big corporations that have Bitcoin in their reserves speaks volumes. It is not something that companies invest billions of money in without feeling it has a long term value.The only ambivalent emotion I have is concerning politics. Markets respond quickly and irrationally when strong nations or leaders are overly discussing Bitcoin. In the short run it can be irritating and even disastrous. However, in the long run, I believe that Bitcoin does not make it through all that. Governments and politicians rise and fall, the storey changes but the main concept of Bitcoin continues to drive on.
