Since Bitcoin was created, many believed it could become a universally accepted currency—borderless, fast, and independent from governments. But in reality, can Bitcoin ever be used for everyday purchases? Issues like slow transaction fees, network congestion, volatility, and merchant adoption remain challenges today. While solutions like Lightning Network continue to improve speed and cost, there’s still a long way to go. Do you think Bitcoin will ever function as a global currency, or will it stay more as an investment and store of value?
Bitcoin has already become a global currency, and for it to become a global currency it is not necessary for it to be accepted almost everywhere, but since it is currently being used in so many countries even as a way of making payments, we could say that it's a global currency. Now even the governments are involved, because Bitcoin is slowly becoming a part of their reserves since they have realized its potential, and they don't want to lose on the profits they could make by holding Bitcoin in their reserves. So after this, I don't think we should have any sort of doubts about Bitcoin and its potential.
It's true that Bitcoin has some issues, sometimes the network gets congested and then the fees go very high, sometimes a transaction might take a bit longer than expected because of this, but that's okay, we could bear such things after all that Bitcoin has done for us, because if it wasn't for Bitcoin, this market wouldn't exist today, and we should ask ourselves about how much we have got from this market. This market has changed the lives of so many people, and they should always be grateful for that.
