Bitcoin is something new and is very related to advanced technology so that spreaders take a long time.
no meyt bitcoin is not new . bitcoin first came out on the year 2009 ( if im not mistaken ) but your also right , the real adoption can occur in the future when all countries and people are now ready to accept bitcoin/crypto .
so making bitcoin as a currency requires several stages, we must always believe that in time, bitcoin can be used as a legitimate payment instrument.
bitcoin is already a currency ever since it came but most people will still consired it as an asset due to the potential profit that they can gain .
if bitcoin is compared to gold then each has advantages and disadvantages .
yes btc and gold are always comparable and both have thier own pros and cons . its only up to the user if what he will choose .
