Bitcoin Adoption Reaches 4.7%, Echoing Early Internet Growth

Bitcoin adoption has now reached "4.7% of the global population", mirroring the Internet’s adoption rate in 1997 — signaling it may be entering an early "exponential growth phase". This milestone suggests Bitcoin is still in the early stages of mainstream acceptance, with growing use driven by institutional investment, financial inclusion in underbanked regions, and expanding accessibility through user-friendly crypto tools. Analysts project that if Bitcoin follows the same trajectory as the Internet, it could surpass "1 billion global users by the early 2030s", marking a transformative period for digital finance and global economic systems.
