Outcome
Inaccurate
By 2016 Bitcoin was still far from mainstream: surveys put US crypto ownership around 1% at end-2016, and there was no broad libertarian turn against Bitcoin (libertarian-leaning holders remained among its core supporters). The two-year window closed without either part happening.
