Topic: [2018-03-21] Bitcoin Will Be World’s Leading Currency in 10 Years: Square CEO Ja (Read 66 times)

The world will never have a single currency,it doesn`t matter if it`s digital or fiat.
Bitcoin could be one of the major global currencies,but it will never be the only one.
Too many people on the currency markets and too many central bank clerks will lose their jobs,if there was only one currency in the world. They can`t afford to lose their power.
Anyway,I hope Square accepts crypto payments.Dorsey has to prove that he is a real bitcoin supporter.

If there were more directors like Dorsey, the crypto-currencies would be much more stable. Well, let's see how Twitter reacts to the ban on advertising ICO and crypto currency. So far,it is the only company that has not blocked this activity.

One of Silicon Valley’s most revered entrepreneurs is going all in on Bitcoin.

Square CEO Jack Dorsey, who is in London this week promoting the digital payments firm, told The Times that he believes Bitcoin could become the world’s leading currency within a decade — or perhaps even sooner.


As CCN reported, Square has added support for simple Bitcoin trading into the firm’s popular Cash App, and Dorsey has said that the company intends to add more Bitcoin-related functionality in the future.

This has led to speculation that Square may begin handling Bitcoin payments in its merchant payment processing software or perhaps even launch a full-fledged cryptocurrency exchange.

Dorsey — who also leads social media giant Twitter — conceded that Bitcoin in its present state of development is not an “effective currency,” citing slow confirmation times and high transaction fees (although fees are currently at a relative low point). Nevertheless, he expressed optimism about technologies that will make Bitcoin payments more user-friendly and efficient in the near future.


One of those technologies, presumably, is the Lightning Network (LN), a second-layer scaling solution that allows users to open off-blockchain payment channels and execute near-instant transactions with virtually no fees.

Dorsey, notably, recently invested in Lightning Labs one of the leading development teams focused on programming LN software. Earlier this month, Lightning Labs released lnd 0.4-beta, which is the first LN implementation to receive a beta release.
