Found this old post. 1 year on still no sign of mainstream adoption. Those stories you told of random people suddenly showing an interest in crypto were signs the bubble was about to burst. When your barber and your taxi driver mention crypto it's about to dip. Everyone wants to get into crypto during a bull run. Now we are in a protracted bear market in 2018 not so much. My barber and my taxi driver have cut their losses long ago. And still no sign of mainstream adoption. Just being realistic. I am still bullish on crypto in the long term, it is just taking longer to go mainstream than this post suggested and mainstream adoption is a totally different kettle of fish to the price. I think now is the time to buy crypto, not whilst every random is wanting to buy it.
