A Redditor asks if bitcoin can ever be widely adopted.
The comments and countercomments miss the point. Bitcoin has ALREADY been widely adopted, but NOT as a store of value or a currency. Blackrock has started using Bitcoin as a gambling chip (aka ETF). Bitcoin is ideal for gambling since it has no real-world connection at all. The house can decide to change its number arbitrarily and freely without any real-world repercussions, unlike older gambling chips such as oil futures or currency swaps or rental houses or nations or planets or (especially) black holes.
Syllogism:
Larry Fink has adopted Bitcoin.
Larry Fink is the world.
Therefore the world has adopted Bitcoin.
