Part 8/9:
Andreas expresses optimism about the future. He notes that Bitcoin’s development in 2012 was smooth, without the conflicts seen in later years. The importance now is to retain users within the crypto space and to maintain a positive trajectory.
He anticipates future interesting developments, such as more people entering the ecosystem and some skepticism about Bitcoin slowly fading. Many new investors initially distrust Bitcoin, often purchasing Ethereum (or other altcoins) for various reasons, but Bitcoin remains the dominant medium of exchange.
In closing, Andreas remains hopeful about the future, believing that as the ecosystem matures, the core principles of Bitcoin will endure, even as the technology and community evolve.
