I feel that bitcoin does have the potential to be money in the future. but, I think the public or the government will not accept it quickly, because bitcoin is also supporting the illegal transaction, so it will probably increase the use of illegal drugs in the community. but, maybe someday things will change, and bitcoin really accepted as money in the future
For me it is impossible government will never accept or granted to be a physical money.. bitcoin will be still great to use online because of technology.. we are in new generation many people are want all to be easy..so bitcoin is one of the advance payment method than the other payment method hat it takes 7 business days before you can receive the money..
Banks are evolving too
And Bitcoin gives them a good incentive to evolve faster. As they say, even if didn't exist, it should have been created, just to give them a good kick in the ass. I don't make international payments, so I can't possibly voice my opinion on that, but internal money transfers nowadays are pretty fast. Though I can't really say whether it is thanks to Bitcoin or not (most likely Bitcoin has nothing to do with that)
