Comparing Bitcoin and Internet Growth

The Internet experienced a massive surge in users at the turn of the millennium.

Today, there are about 5.44 billion Internet users globally, making up 67% of the world’s population, according to Statista.

Bitcoin is currently expanding at a faster rate than the Internet did in its early years. Vivek, another popular Bitcoin expert, recently emphasized this rapid growth, noting that Bitcoin’s adoption curve is steeper than that of the early Internet.
