I am thinking long term. Retirement. Middle aged now and some day i will slow down.
Btc is a wise investment. Japan just alowed officail transactions to be done in btc, India may be next, sure China is having troubles.
But in the long run, more and more countries will adopt btc, more and more poeple are grasping the technology, why every day you see payments by btc just while surfing the net. Companies all over the globe are excepting payments in btc.
Another unfortunate aspect is the illegal use. Online drug markets are growing and like the drug market will increase exponentially. Nonetheless, btc price will continue to rise and rise.
Btc can replace visa to some degree.
I don't beleive btu will be big, btc is already the favourite. Give it another 5, 10 or 20 years.
You are right but everyone can't hold bitcoin in his wallet for long time it is because here the legality of bitcoin in your country , if your government didn't declared any statement about the bitcoin then it may be possible in the incoming days or months or in year they may declare bitcoin as illegal , so hold bitcoin in your wallet for years is a matter of risk .
But if you are in the countries like Japan than Ofcourse you should hold it for 10-20 years because they is no risk of the government to declare illegal or anything .
So hold bitcoin is good job if your country accept bitcoin legally .
