Bitcoin has been existing for so many years now and different people use it in different ways and every one has a reason for adopting it and when Bitcoin is mentioned, the first thing that usually comes to most of our minds is buying and holding it as an investment but it far more that that Bitcoin can actually be used for more than just trying to make a profit from it have actually see so many people use it to send money across borders, receive payments, make donations, or make transactions without relying entirely on local banking systems, and in some countries, the ability to access your money internationally can be very useful most especially when banking services is limited or expensive.
There are individual buyers, long term holders, businesses, and people who use Bitcoin for payments or as an alternative to keep their money away from banks and if more holders continue accumulating and holding, and that also makes people to adopt bitcoin and it keeps growing as new investors are coming.
So what do you personally feel is the most useful purpose of Bitcoin besides investment, and what useful case do you think deserves more attention?
Peer to peer transactions? This should be the only purpose of Bitcoin that defines it all.
I do think Bitcoin usage is singular to every investor. Majority maybe in the long term hold business Bitcoin bitcoin is more than just being a store of value or a profitable asset.
We need to expand our view outside what we already think or know. At least now we have bitcoin being used by institutions which is a good accomplishment. Looking back to when we started, fear and it's volatility was one factor that limited Bitcoin usage.
So instead of spending it, I do rather hold it and potentially make good profits in the future.
That is how you choose to use your Bitcoin so it shouldn't be forced on others. Holding is a good usage of Bitcoin but bitcoin can be more.
People are praying day and night for the different country government to adopt bitcoin as their legal tender so that citizens will use bitcoin as their p2p transaction daily and every second and you are calling it a "foolish thing". I don't know what to say on this. I saw your comment but I was like why?
True. But we don't need to pray because adoption is something that happens with time. We only need to give it time and as governments of said countries continues to see what they have been missing, they will for sure make changes to their restrictions.
