Bitcoin’s role in the global economy is evolving rapidly. While it’s already a popular store of value, many still debate whether it’ll play a larger role as a currency, payment system, or hedge against inflation.
Here are a few things I’ve been thinking about:
Will Bitcoin continue to be seen mainly as digital gold, or will countries start adopting it in larger-scale transactions?
With the rise of Lightning Network, how much can we expect Bitcoin to actually be used in day-to-day payments in the next 5 years?
How do you think regulatory challenges will affect Bitcoin's growth — will it be a barrier or an opportunity?
Bitcoin has the potential to change the entire financial landscape, but it needs to find its place in an increasingly complex global economy.
What’s your prediction for Bitcoin’s role in the future?
Yes.
More and more.
Bitcoin flows like water inside, outside, and between regulatory regimes.
A growing role.
Why do people always wait from others to do the first move? If you are aligned with Bitcoin values, and are able to understand Lightning... just use it in your daily life!
Why care about regulatory challenges if bitcoin is a tool that help set you free from it?
Bitcoin and lightning are already doing a great job for me and the community I live with. The best we can do is use it...
Or are you waiting for the news to announce that you can now buy bitcoin at your nearest bank branch?
