Not as minuscule as it used to be.  The all cryptocurrency
economy is growing, it has grown a long way.  Most people
betting heavily on crypto currency have no plans to ever
convert back into fiat.  Rather, our plan is to dump fiat
before everyone else does.

You may think that is a very bad plan, but it is looking
like a better plan than it used to to more people than it
used to.

Fiat money requires a stable and virtuous regime.  How
is the regime looking?
