Bitcoin is a real opportunity to rebuild a fully decentralized financial system based on true trust. It is the gold standard in the crypto world and the foundation that allows computers to connect and communicate. As more and more people begin to use cryptocurrency, the support of institutions and governments should be of great help in accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrencies in mainstream sectors, and this feat is expected to enhance its value.
The unique attributes of Bitcoin enable it to surpass modern and ancient currency at the margin and provide a powerful impetus for its growing popularity. In particular, the effective combination of censorship resistance and absolute scarcity has always been a powerful driving force for wealthy investors to allocate part of their wealth to new asset classes.
Because Bitcoin can be easily transferred across borders and does not require a banking system, it has become an ideal currency for people who want to escape hyperinflation. In the next few years, as fiat currency continues to follow its historical trend towards the lowest point, Bitcoin will become an increasingly popular choice for global savings. When a country’s currency is abandoned and replaced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin will transform from a store of value in that society into a generally accepted medium of exchange. In the future, if Bitcoin eventually becomes the global reserve currency, then the first countries to accept Bitcoin will get the most benefit on their balance sheets.
At some stage in the future, will Bitcoin be the new gold standard and possibly become a global currency?

Bitcoin is one of the best options of people to store their assets to avoid inflation. Bitcoin is lesser prone to inflation compared to fiat and other store of value. It is claimed to ba a safe haven because bitcoin's value increases as time passes by like gold. Hence, the reason why it is always being compared with gold - both are of limited supply, scarce, and its value increases because of high demand, limited supply.
However, despite all the good things bitcoin has to offer, i don't think the government and central organizations will allow it to be the global currency. Simply because bitcoin is decentralized and volatile. They cannot control nor manipulate it. They can't just produce more of it when they want and need to compared with fiat.
