Most of the members consider bitcoin as major currency of future. Let us assume that it will be accomplished one day, but before that, I wonder which spheres of our everyday life will adapt bitcoin first?
Not really, I don't think most people see it as a currency to replace fiat, not with a ten minute confirmation time.
Bitcoin won't replace fiat. The reason why is because Bitcoin needs the cashflow in order to be worth something. Nobody want's Bitcoin if it is worth nothing, BTC isn't even backed by anything...just data and that data could get wiped within nano-seconds if there was an attack.
Unlike Gold that is backed by Gold and the limited quantity, people will find it too late to purchase when there isn't any in demand. Bitcoin is worth nothing, the price per Bitcoin is just a mirage. Warren Buffet is right in a sense.
Well you are wrong on many points, just like FIAT it is not backed by anything but it is a limited quantity just like but the demand vs limited supply is what gives the price. The security of the network and just like our stocks and 90% of cash (it is all logged digitally) its just data, but each bitcoin wallet has the ledger information, as a backup.
Amph is right, you are wrong (and yes I do read the thread after I post in it just for fun).
Firstly, when did I say that FIAT was backed by anything? Fiat is printed everyday, if you don't think so then look at the website from the Treasury:
https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages/edu_faq_currency_production.aspx"During Fiscal Year 2014, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing delivered approximately 6.6 billion notes to the Federal Reserve, producing approximately 24.8 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $560 million."
You see, there is more than just a limited amount like you write.
You stated that I am wrong on so many points yet you don't point out any of the "Wrong" things that are in my post?
Sure, Bitcoin has a limited amount 21,000,000 million but it's worth nothing if it isn't connected to a Government Currency.
Gold could be bartered and there is a limited supply...Do the math.
