From the article this paragraph caught my attention; <br>
&quot;Just two days ago, VC tycoon and Bitcoin bull Tim Draper declared that not only is Bitcoin “bigger than the internet”, but that “it&apos;s bigger than the Iron Age, the Renaissance [and] the Industrial Revolution.&quot; Earlier in April, he predicted that Bitcoin would hit an eye-popping $250k per coin within four years.&quot;

Yes Bitcoin is big but is it really bigger than the internet? Isn&apos;t Bitcoin dependent on the internet? The internet is huge, so is Bitcoin but Bitcoin certainly need interest to exist.
