RE: Slowly at first, and then all at once... Research points to a Billion people owning Bitcoin within 5 years

in LeoFinance3 years ago

A billion? I wonder if I'll be one of them.
If crypto remains anti-privacy and pro-centralization, then I doubt it.
Hopefully privacy and decentralization will become crypto's focus once again, but it seems mass onboarding and being accepted by banks and corporations is the new plan.

Sort:  

It was always the way bitcoin was going to go if it was embraced by instutions and governments. There may be privacy coins in the future, but bitcoin won't be one of them. It's digital gold, it's not an every day payment currency.

Always, or almost always?
Did Satoshi say Bitcoin would be digital gold, or a payment currency? (Not rhetorical)
I remember being told (and telling others) that Bitcoin was a currency back in 2011. It seemed to morph into the role of digital gold as other cryptos began popping up, and taking on the roles Bitcoin had been playing (day to day currency, privacy coins, etc).
