imo, Bitcoin's biggest killer use case outside of simply holding and Digital Gold Narrative will be Global Collateral Asset for Decentralized Finance & Cross Border Liquidity.

That is people will pledge their BTC and take Fiat or Stablecoin loan, but funds will be in Multisig Script as Self Sovereign Collateral.

Perhaps adoption of bitcoin has gone beyond primary stages, secondary adoption and even tertiary adoption is practically coming to pass, individual adoption will still be needed even though group and institutional adoption has taken place already.

The newest use case for bitcoin has been happening already (I called it newest because bitcoin has no biggest event, after this another will take place so it’s just newest and not biggest) here on this board we’ve seen threads about loan and bitcoin collateral which people consider a good idea but I personally disagree agree with that as it’s going to compromise your privacy (if only people do care) by giving out a certain percentage of your investment as collateral is absolutely giving the total value to the public as estimation can be made on how much bitcoin you own by the percentage you put as collateral for stablecoin or fiat.

Perhaps. But you can t just be comparing bitcoin the the dollar or any fiat, they are fundamentally different it's like saying my land is money do it's the same thing as my local currency.
Look at gold for instance, look back at our history, it was money, yes, but it was also a precious metal used for ornamental purposes so if someone who doesn't know about it's value as as a luxury metal asks for it's use outside of buying and selling it will be wrong for you to just say gold is gold (money is money).

Biggest use case for Bitcoin beyond holding will be hodling. Bitcoin is not the optimal choice for massive transactions because its block size limits us and its confirmation time on average is one block per 10 minutes, so, it's not really the best crypto currency for making transactions with its current form and Bitcoin developers are so conservative that I don't think it's gonna change.
Bitcoin is truly the only really decentralized currency in the world because we don't know its creator and will never know, so, that makes Bitcoin a good option to be a digital gold, i.e. the best currency for holding.

Bitcoin was created as a digital peer-to-peer means of transaction, although it became very valuable that required holding which is very necessary so asides that the biggest use case would been Bitcoin used as a mean of transaction cause Bitcoin is still money.

Even though people use it for self sovereignty storage, inflation hedge or store of value they all revolve around holding it therefore holding Bitcoin would forever remain the best option.

payments, hands down.

fast, low-cost transactions with layer 2s such as lightning allow people to actually spend bitcoin without sacrificing their primary stack. That is the only meaningful use case that doesn't require you to give up real security for fake yield.

What use case do you want other than being used as an asset and as money?


This is not entirely true.
"Hype" doesn't necessarily mean the project is low quality or a shitcoin.
There is hype around Bitcoin. The question is, is it worth the hype? Does it offer anything aside from the hype?
There is so much hype around Bitcoin, Trump used it to campaign. There are other politicians that have used Bitcoin to campaign. If there was no hype around it, they wouldn't use it. I believe the hype has even died down a little because there was a period where it was like if you don't know about Bitcoin, then you're not cool. That is hype. The difference between the hype of Bitcoin and shitcoins is that aside the hype, Bitcoin actually has something to offer, it is a unique creation, while those other projects are nothing with hype.

With the blockchain bitcoin have I dont think it can unlock what Proof of staking does like ethereum cause bitcoin made differently. Yes hose features like lending, staking and payments are good but its not the path bitcoin are doing. The biggest use case bitcoin potentially can unlock is it adaptive nature to be used by massive users around the world and establishment accepting it as payment.

For now, the first is that it should be used as a decentralized payment system. And all the countries that are going to decide to use Bitcoin as a reserve to make strategies should recognize Bitcoin as their strategic reserve. And in the future, different countries of the world should accept Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
The second is that it is accepted as a loan or as a loan collateral in banks and can be traded freely.

BTC as collateral for borrowing without selling. That’s the use case that actually changes behavior for holders. Lightning payments are next, but most “BTC DeFi/staking” right now is still wrapped, bridged, or federated with extra trust assumptions. Not really native yet.
