At a time when the world is clamouring for peace and unity among the countries of the world- developed and developing.
There is a major limitation, which is the different currencies of the countries. These fiat currencies are controlled by different policies and economic situations of their different countries.
This posses a threat to global financial unity. As many countries are under banked. At the height of these challenges, came a pseudo human called Satoshi, who created what seems like 21st century wonders(bitcoin)

From 2009 till date, bitcoin suffered too many set back, ranging from disbelief to doubt about its future.
But 10 years down the tunnel is a great improvement and acceptance of the first cryptocurrency - bitcoin.
The huge acceptance lead to the creation of several altcoins.

Now many countries are willing to involve in the cryptocurrency world  despite some restrictions in some countries because according to an African adage "No one knows the Goose that will lay the golden egg".
I am seeing in the future where BTC will become a unified currency for the whole world.


To become a central currency the currency needs :


Approval from all the governmental bodies

Now does it seem possible ?
I don't think so.

Then we have to think about : Usage
Are mobile phones available everywhere? Internet? Will everyone be able to use them ? no.

The only reason so as why fiat is so popular is because it is indeed something very easy to use and convenient.

Then we will have the problem of Volatility which is good for us as an investment but at the same time it would not be something that we can go with when we are talking about stability of the whole economy.

Pseudo human ?
No
It would be apt to say the creator who did not take even a single penny from us for using such amazing currency.

I believe it's more appropriate to say a human with a  pseudo name than a pseudo human. Satoshi's numerous fans may raise eyebrows for that malapropism. That said.

Well, on the issue of Bitcoin becoming the world central currency - this won't be possible. I don't see the possibility of that now or even in the future. My reason for saying that is based on the technicalities surrounding Bitcoin. It's not a tech for illiterate folks. It's workings make it so. Again, Bitcoin requires electricity to function. To be able to send or receive BTC one must have access to the internet and electricity. This, a lot of countries don't have.

Well to be a central currency is not possible for bitcoin. Its my opinion others could be different. Why i say that heres my some point. Well bitcoin is like a public company. There is no office, no company, no admin or no controller. Which is a big risk factor for government because they need a place where they should discussed and fix their problem. But in bitcoin its impossible. Its public company because anyone can be a owner by buying a cent of bitcoin. So all of bitcoin holder are the owner. No one can truck bitcoin sender or receiver, no one can reverse any transaction. So what is not acceptable for government because they want control. So i don't think bitcoin could be central currency.

I have absolutely no idea that Bitcoin will become the World financial Central bank. Countries or governments of every country and even the world will not let that happen, absolutely not !! The existing banks in every country are owned by individuals or groups who are very financially strong, they can influence every country's decisions. they certainly won't give bitcoin room to grow. I prefer it like now.

Bitcoin has become the great initiative, it will be the asset, digital gold in its entirety.  The development to become the central currency of the world will limit the mainstream value created.  It won't, I don't think bitcoin is going to do this.  by its characteristic not belonging to a central currency.

Bitcoin was never and will never be meant to be a currency that could be used as a major currency, and that is due to the fact that it is decentrelized and cannot be controlled by governmments even if they wanted to, and if you ask anyone who has been using bitcoin for some time the reason it was created you would know, if you look at the current state of any currency that is controlled by a government you would see that it went through a lot of manipulation and inflation and they keep on priniting more just because they can, which is why bitcoin is diffrent and can not be used as a major currency.

I don't think bitcoin at any time will be central. That's why the government can't completely replace bitcoin. If bitcoin becomes central around the world, how people lose access to their wallets, to whom they complain, it will be completely lost in the system.

If you want a centralized system with Bitcoin, then it is really simple. You can store your coins in an exchange wallet, or in your PayPal account. If someone hacks into these wallets and your coins are stolen, then PayPal will reimburse the amount. But the negative here is that you will not have access to the private keys. Someone else is storing the coins on your behalf, and it goes against one of the basic principles of cryptocurrency. But then, I need to admit that there is a large section of users who prefer this route. They don't want to store coins on their own (mostly the less tech savvy users).

Frankly speaking, I don't see this happening ever. World leaders wouldn't allow a generic currency system without a controller, become the central currency of the world. There will be corporates who might add bitcoin into their cash reserve, but definitely not on a government level.

World leaders wouldn't allow some unknown miners to produce their reserve currency. This might happen if only government starts controlling 100% of the mining operations. Otherwise, don't even think about it!

Really small chance it can replace fiat. At least my opinion have a little hope in it beside said impossible bitcoin can replace fiat to be world central currency. Beside a lot of reason why fiat will be used from regulation until flexibility to used anytime, bitcoin as investment actually already good. We still can use it as currency like to send money all over the world, but to purchase something,maybe fees can be a little problem at first.

I think Btc doesn't need to be the center of the world's currency, because it can't be used as a fixed value and will have a very ineffective impact on people outside of crypto users. Btc is enough as an investment tool and also as a trading coin. Btc has become this great without the need to take over the world's finances, because then we still deserve to be considered as investors rather than having to follow ambitions which will not have a good impact on the value and image of Btc as a future asset. Btc should not be controlled, while the world's central money is easy to control. so we don't agree.

Probably it's not going to happen because even though it is a top cryptocurrency there is still a lot of weakness when it comes to bitcoin.

Obviously, countries' world central currency is not gonna the world since bitcoin is not centralized, countries can not use only one currency since different countries have different values when it comes to goods, etc. It's better for bitcoin to stay to what it is today since we could already use it to make transactions all over the world.

Bitcoin technology is not that great if we are going to use it as a world currency, bitcoin can only process 3 transactions per second, and if you compare that to other altcoins like Ethereum or Solana 3 transactions per second is slow.

The world can't even have one unifying currency, for that to happen, there will basically have to be one single government controlling the entire world, which in the first place is not possible, and even if it's possible (which isn't) for there to be just a single currency, then there's no way that currency is going to be a decentralized one like Bitcoin; control is something that's indispensable for the government, but with Bitcoin, the said control, and freedom as well is with every single user.

No. Governments want control, not freedom. This gives you a pretty good answer to your question: if they want to have BTC as a central currency, they'll want to somehow centralize it. So better not..

However, Ethereum will become the world central digital currency and all the defi will control the financial and taxation systems.

Please, I would like you to expanciate on how you believed that Ethereum can be world's central digital currency but Bitcoin cannot.
Through more light on the defi system regulating or controlling the taxation system.

Of course it's not. It's really volatile and i don't think it's gonna radically change. And it's decentralization will not allow it too.

Obviously no one in their right mind would think that Bitcoin will become the reserve currency of the world. But the reasons are not the ones pointed by you. Volatility is an issue with cryptocurrency, but it will reduce with expanding user base. The real reason is that Bitcoin is protected against inflation, unlike the fiat currencies. And this pose a problem for the governments, as they can't print money in unlimited quantities (and then steal most of it). And this is the reason why they removed the gold standard many years back.

bitcoin will forever be bitcoin, because if we change bitcoin to world currency, everything will fluctuate ,, coins will still be bitcoin for the people, as long as bitcoin is still like this people can still benefit, but if bitcoin is used as an currency, people's income in bitcoin will definitely decrease ..

You've been blinded from your enthusiasm, but that's okay, as long as you understand where you're wrong. Bitcoin can't become the “unified” world currency, because the world is consisted of states where societies are built in. Realistically, a state can't operate by using Bitcoin, because it can't control it. On the capitalistic age we're now living, money has to circulate. I don't say that governments behave properly with their reserve currency, I just define how a state should work, so the society can do too.

The way Bitcoin inflates makes you not want to spend it, but keep it, because in the future, it'll worth more! But, basically, a state cannot adopt it, because it can't control it, not just for the inflation.

I see Bitcoin as the Gold 2.0 that functions better than it.

Governments around the world would never allow Bitcoin to become world central currency but there is possibility that many countries will use it as hedge and backup asset same way like they are holding gold.
With current situation it would be impossible for everyone to use Bitcoin on main chain because it would create astronomical fees and big transaction delays, and only hope for this would be with some second layer solution.
Governments and rulers are looking more and more like dictators for whatever reasons and excuses they have, and they wouldn't want to use any currency they can't control or increase supply.
I think that if majority of people want to use Bitcoin in future there is nobody who could stop that despite all their regulations, bans and restrictions.

Satoshi is a real entity that can be a person, a group, an institute, any but it is not a bot or machine.

Bitcoin is created to bring the freedom with transactions for the global people and under-banked are one of them.

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency. It will not become a global central currency. If you want to imply centralization by the word central. If your implication is a main cryptocurrency, it is in many years. Bitcoin price affects the all crypto market because it is a biggest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is the less speculative cryptocurrency (altcoins are more speculative because they are pump and dump assets). You are too optimistic if you think Bitcoin will be a unified currency on Earth.

It is a main crypto, a leader of this market, a game changer for the world but not an unified one.
