For something that can become a popular means of payment, you need the following:
Store of value: allowing individuals to make intemporal choices on when to spend their purchasing power
Medium of exchange: facilitating the exchange of goods and services by eliminating the inefficiencies associated with a barter economy
Unit of account: acting as a measure of value in the economic system.
Do you think the bitcoin has all three of these elements? I am looking forward to the bitcoin will become a popular payment method in the future.
As store of value, bitcoin proven as good investment and give big return last year. As medium of exchange, bitcoin dont have regulation in many country and ban if used as payment. But in many country, bitcoin regulated and can be used as payment.
As Units of account, i think 1 btc equal with 100mil satoshi. So bitcoin has all those elements
