Recently a lot of interesting discussions has been raised about Bitcoin. One that caught my eye was Jack Dorsey's cash app announcing  that users would soon be able to pay their bills using Bitcoin. An interesting development.

Personally, I think this move goes on to show another port folio in Bitcoins usefulness. Now imagine cash apps allowing it's users to settle bills with Bitcoin without having to hold Bitcoin. One can't help but ask is this diversity deviating from what Bitcoin was create to achieve?

Over the years, Bitcoins adoption has been focused on how many people decide to buy and hold it. Now making Bitcoin useful for everyday payment could be also an important move. From an individual perspective, paying bills without having to worry about wallets or price fluctuations will definitely be good for Bitcoins adoption.

On the flip side though, would one say that financial freedom is achieved when a lot of persons use Bitcoin and its network without ever controlling their money, or owning BTC? Are we seeing a build up of traditional financial system on Bitcoin's infrastructure?

Obviously, greater convenience could introduce more persons to Bitcoin and even encourage them to hold it. Although widespread use doesn't necessarily translate into greater demand in this case.

We may be entering an era where Bitcoin is less dependent on people who holds  it but more on how deeply its network become embedded in everyday transactions.

One can't help but ask; if millions of people use Bitcoin without necessarily owning it, are payment companies finally finding a new way to keeping control over Bitcoin?
