BTC as a national currency?

[Sirjamesadeiza]

This may or may not happen in Zimbabwe, that country is where bitcoin is most expensive right now due to poor currency. They already have USD for official use

So as far as we know BTC currency is growing wide, do you think there will be when it become a national currency?If yes, why?If not, why?

I think it might be possible because bitcoin comes with so many benefits and advantages that might be any country's whee it's people will use more bitcoin than regular Fiat will make it their national currency.  I believe that you can not predict anything in case of bitcoins.  But with due time there are very chances that people will invest more and more in bitcoin.  So there are possibilities that it may become the worldwide currency.  The system of currency is running from so long.  And this digital advancement is the knock of future on our door steps.

National currency means this currency can manage by the government or the national banking system. You forget the government can not manage the transaction of Bitcoin if the business want to evade tax. Because the business do not report the total revenue from their business, the government will can not tax them

This is pretty hard for any government to make bitcoin their national currency and the reason is very obvious. Governments always want to have good control over the assets of the country and wealth or people. If bitcoin is their national currency, they won’t be able to charge have taxes and in that way people will know more be answerable to them for using any services or purchasing goods.

Bitcoin will not be the national currency of a country, because to be able to made as the currency required many considerations to be taken by a country, while the country currency is a legal means of exchange set by the law made by parliament.

It does not have to be taken by a country, the word means "nation," it does not mean a country. I do not want to say "bitcoin a national currency". Some things will show time.

[wantjokull]

This has got very less chance of happening. I mean you are thinking from the perspective of your own nation but what about those 200 people from the different nation who thinks the same way as you do? I mean we can’t make the bitcoin as currency of different 200 countries, lolz! That would be chaos isn’t it and then we will have to set up a central bank which is worlds central bank and we will need executives from all over the countries to work in that bank to make sure that bitcoin is being national currency in equal way to all the countries.


Hush! That seems to be lot of work and I’m sure that seems to be not happening real soon. Who would go for such chaos and that too where different countries are friends with different countries with whom few countries are enemies and once agin the things are messy.


Im not sure if this is even right question to make bitcoin as national currency. It can’t be.

[nightfury]

It is not far to reality that bitcoins can be considered as a national currency of a particular country because bitcoin have advantages which fiat does not have.

[Cosbycoin]

Bitcoin is a universal monetary valued crypto which is used whole around the world. Who knows even the aliens may use this for transactions with us humans

Well if we talk about aliens then we are talking about an ideal case but bitcoin can be used as a national currency not only by one state but by whole the world. If the governments support bitcoin then it can become an international currency and may be used by the countries for import and export rather than using USD. It can unite the whole world on one currency rather than using different currencies used by different states of the world.

Well as of now bitcoin as a national currency was not applicable as a national currency because not all country are well urbanized some of them are still on the process of improvement where in they are all not accessible in technology. So if you think that it can be as national currency well maybe in the near future when it is still well known and all of us has been adopt the technology and it will be possible.

No doubt demand for Bictoin is increasing and it has a bright and positive future but we can't see Bitcoin as a national currency.The main reasons for this is it's decentralized nature and anonymity. As it is decentralized which means that government is not able to control it so no government will allow such currency over which they have no control to become the national currency.As the transactions through Bitcoin are anonymous so government is not able to identify the people involved in the transaction and so no tax is imposed so this can  also be a reason.Third reason can be the use of Bitcoin in illegal dealings such as drug dealings, ammunitions dealings etc.

Still there is no such country who have accepted bitcoin as a national currency but it is more possible that in future bitcoin will become accepted as a national currency by many countries in the world because the fans of bitcoin is going increasing day by day.

[jam22]

Yes, cause we're using technologies in our daily lives and we want to use technologies in online banking and we also want our money to be virtually, so we want the bitcoin to use in our daily lives cause it easy to use and invest.

Maybe not at this moment.There are some factors that need to be considered before making it a national currency.Some countries have bitcoins but not widely used.

You can expect anything to happen in the coming days. There is nothing in this world which is impossible. I think of bitcoin as national currency to be a very good idea. The only thing which matters the most is the role of government in this aspect.

If the government is willing to take positive steps in this regard, then there are likely chances of this thing to happen. This will bring positive impact on society.

[richlipkin]

BTC is already a de facto national currency in places like Zimbabwe and Venezuela, which have little to no functioning government and hyperinflation of their own currencies (if they even have the latter).

Really? I think we have more trouble about society than positive impact on society.
All transactions will create through Bitcoin and no one can knows the source and the person sended or received that amount.
This is really the good thing for anyone wants to use currency for crime.

I agree with you. With all the current issues the world faces today, i thnk it will be kind of hard to make bitcoin as a national currency on any country. Just look at the facts, not a lot of places have good internet, or even weak internet,. Plus the confirmation problems, the fees, amd of course the banks and governments. Butaybe when things settle, then maybe that will come. But I don't think anyone here will still be ablr to experience that time.

[PORN_coin]

it could be interesting
where could this be possible?

[imamimam1234]

nah man, I don't think so. Not all people know bitcoin, interested in bitcoin. Also many countries ban bitcoin, and fyi many countries already planned to make their own national crypto currency. they do adapt the system but not the bitcoin itself as their national currency.CMIIW

Well but it will take some time  for it to be used by everyone in every place but the fact that it can be used now in every place there is internet goes to suggest that it is indeed an international currency that's  almost present in every economy around the world.

[cocoinin]

It is impossible for bitcoin to become a national currency from a lot of reason. First of all the transaction fees are t high and also the time that it takes for a transaction to be confirmed is pretty big if you pay a small fee. If you want to buy a coffe or a juice you would have to pay 5-6$ for the product + 4-5$ the fee for transaction so at the end you pay double the price.
The second problem is the big fluctuations of the price. One day a bitcoin can worth 8000$ then the next day it worths 6000$. This will obviously affect a lot of merchants because most of them have to calculate their profits everyday or every 2-3 days.

one day fees will go low (as the price)
transaction rate will be higher after some upgrades of the protocol
so, in a future Bitcoin have a chance to be usable as national currency, but not today.

There is no way! Bitcoin can't be a any nations currency, it's impossible. No one would let this happen. But i think that BTC will be all countries currency soon. Around 2020.

its everyone currency in terms of using online, but as exchanging in fiat it will be impossible.
