Bitcoin is now the sixth most circulated currency in the world, behind five super powers, and outranking the Pound, the Ruble, and the Won, according to the Bank for International Settlements. The figure is based on a value of Bitcoin at $10,765 each, meaning that the total value of all Bitcoins in circulation is $180 bln.

While the number is substantial, should Bitcoin rise to $15,000, it will overtake the next highest circulating currency, the Rupee. The other four currencies outranking Bitcoin are the Yen, Yuan, Euro, and Dollar, all of which have dramatically greater levels of currency in circulation (the Dollar, for example, stands at $1.4 tln).

Some people aren't calling Bitcoin a currency anymore. It is being called a store of value. I don't know what to believe. Huh

A huge amount of BTC travels to and from exchanges, hence why the trading volume is around $7,000,000,000.

Since BTC is somewhat scarce and not inflationary, plus the fact that it can be used internationally and has nothing to peg down the price, the number of people that actually use it as a currency seems to be insignificant and the number of merchants that accept it is also insignificant.

Comparing BTC's market cap to a fiat currency's market cap is unreasonable, because fiat currencies aren't hoarded so much.
