Yeah definitely at the moment I'm not saying people would get into crypto because of such benefits. We're definitely very early adopters. I could do this because I was already investing and had BTC in my Coinbase account.
I'm just predicting at some point, more and more services will start popping up and this argument of "Is Bitcoin useful" will become less relevant.

That's 760,000 people. I think BTC already has higher market penetration.

For speculation? Probably. For use as a regular means of transacting? I'd be surprised.

Speculate and you get the backup account for free.

Or you lose all your money because speculation is quite risky.
99.99% of people will get a backup bank card before they get into bitcoin.
