I just saw this image, its is very interesting in terms of adoption rates:

I like this graph, it shows that the growth is exponential. If we look at Smartphones, it went from basically 0 to 90% in 5 years. And growth itself accelerates for every year so I wouldnt be surprised if we could reach 90% within 3-4 years. Just recently I saw an estimate for crypto usage that we would go from 0,01% to 3% at the end of 2018 and if we look at this graph that would not be outrageous.

I totally agree with the elites, they will not surrender easily, they tend to go to war when shit hits the fan, so anything is possible. If they were to purchase all Bitcoin, I would assume that many people would just move to another currency. I dont think they will be able to stop this, but I have an optimistic way of looking at life...
