Well, I think Bitcoin is far from being mainstream. Even though it reached popularity over time, a large portion of the world's population still haven't heard about BTC or even used it before. Of course, ETFs, governments getting involved in Bitcoin, and whatnot, brings the old economic system into Bitcoin (something Satoshi meant to avoid in the first place). It raises centralization risks in the long run. But what if this marks the beginning of Bitcoin replacing Fiat as the standard unit of account? Then, BTC would've already won its battle against banks.

In a "hyperbitcoinized world", Bitcoin would be the sole currency (global currency) used for the payments of goods and/or services. At least, that's how I envision it. Wouldn't it be great to participate in such "decentralized economy"? No more governments or central banks manipulating the supply for their own benefit. They will hold BTC, but they won't be able to control it (separation of money from the State). If BTC doesn't replace Fiat, then it would've failed. Am I right?

I think the first second you bought bitcoin you're already in for the decentralization world because you converted your fiat to a crypto.

I don't think bitcoin become mainstream will make it less relevant, instead it means there's alternative in this world that people can choose.

Even though big financial institutions and governments are holding BTC, the blockchain is still as decentralized as ever.

But since then people for some reason forgot about all this and are waiting for bitcoin to be accepted by the government and financial organizations. That is, all those regulatory bodies against whom bitcoin was created. How quickly values ​​change, don't it

This was the money of those who believed in freedom and independence.

Bitcoin is increasingly ceasing to be what it was created to be.

Because of money. Any ideals and values ​​are sold. It's only a question of price. Unfortunately. It becomes sad to look at a world where they deviate from the original principles.

If only that were so. I doubt it.

I think yes.

I expect changes not for the better.

Bitcoin is becoming more and more refined.
