Outstanding talk by @nic__carter at @hodlhodl's #hb2018.

Some highlights... Quoted text are from Nic's talk, the rest is my commentary.

"Container ships, not parcels."

"Bitcoin - $3k avg transaction"

Credit cards (2012 figures):
Visa - $91
Mastercard - $92
Amex - $150
"We are within an order of magnitude away from Visanet throughput."

@blockchain's estimates are shown here, which I agree are conservative. I would guess we are within 3 years away for exceeding Visanet volume throughput.
"Bitcoin volumes in context"

"Bitcoin just recently surpassed Gold OTC settlement markets"

One of these lines is not like the others :). Bitcoin is still in its earlier stage of the adoption S-curve. Best estimates is 1%-3% of world population.
