It is already a world currency.
I think not, Bitcoin is not a world currency, since when we talk about world currency, it talks about a currency that is legally recognized by the world. There is a big difference between globally used and a world or global currency.
If you look at the demographics of this forum considering at least there is a single person in each country using bitcoin, you will see that we have representatives in every country out there.
But the question is, despite the representatives, is Bitcoin acknowledged as legal tender globally?
Central? No because bitcoin is decentralized at its core. No central body to control its supply.
True, this is also one of the defeating factors why Bitcoin is having a hard time being recognized by governments as legal tender. It has no central authority and is not a government-backed currency.
Anyone can already use it, just the adoption is what is pending. To increase it massively, more merchants need to start using bitcoin.
Just as I read, not because Bitcoin is used globally, it can be called a global or world currency. There is much more needed for that to be considered as the world currency, especially in this world that follows a centralized system.
Gladly, we do not need Bitcoin to be a world currency in order to use it globally. Due to its borderless feature we are able to transact with it internationally.
