It is true that you can buy some things with bitcoin in some stores and all. But mainly Bitcoin has come to be an investment/stock, similar to gold some say. I am quite happy with the possibility of earning it in the internet by simple means (banners, faucets, posting, doing small tasks and works) internationally and without so much government control, and also about speculating with it. I would love it would become a widely used currency and be able to pay everywhere with it... But would not be angry if it remained as it is now (used by some, with the ability to be transferred and earned through internet).
What do you think?
People are waking up to the fiat ponzi scheme being perpetuated by the banking system. And when the people of this planet wake up and discover that they've been lied to for hundreds of years, they won't want US Dollars, Euros, or Yen. The people will demand digital currencies like Bitcoin (and others).
The cryptocurrencies that ultimately survive and THRIVE will be those that resist the temptation of eating the apple offered by the banks, and remain pure to the spirit of Satoshi's vision. We must embrace and protect cryptocurrencies and keep them "by the people and for the people."
If bitcoin can remain independent of organized banking forces, it will survive. Otherwise, the torch will be passed to other communities that can remain strong, united, and inflexibly resilient.
