Dollar will be there. You need a dollar to scale/calculate your Bitcoin value. Both could be the same in terms of popularity. But I do not think Bitcoin will take over the dollar anytime soon. Do we expect it? I don't know. But where there is a good side, the opposite exists as well. But we don't know the future. You could be right as well.

Bitcoin can not only be scaled or calculated in dollars, but can also be calculated in any fiat currency so that Bitcoin can continue to be popular on its own without having to depend on fiat currency. And Bitcoin may not overtake the dollar any time soon, but as more people start to feel more comfortable using Bitcoin in various sectors they will need to. Maybe dollar users themselves will prioritize Bitcoin over dollars so that dollar use can be reduced compared to Bitcoin in countries that have legalized Bitcoin, such as El Salvador.

so it will take a long time for bitcoin to take the place of the dollar, but at some point, bitcoin will definitely be more popular than the dollar.

Today I saw children at an ice cream shop in El Salvador paying their bill with Bitcoin NFC cards after eating ice cream.

I think that bitcoin was created to kill the dollar, even though it could take 100 to 200 years to play out.
I remember when the war broke out between Ukraine vs Russia, at that time Ukraine received many helplines via Bitcoin which were sent by many people in the world. Bitcoin has better advantages than Fiat. Yes Bitcoin will slowly kill the Dollar. If you say 200 years in the future that makes sense because Bitcoin takes a lot of time to collapse the dollar. Mass adoption also continues to see a good rise in the development of Bitcoin as many companies have seen Bitcoin as a healthy currency for them to have in their treasuries.

Developing countries will continue to follow the development of Bitcoin from time to time and it is very likely that the entire world community will make Bitcoin their target investment vehicle and fiat inflation will make Bitcoin one of people's goals for owning it.
Not only during the war in Russia and Ukraine, people were helped far and wide by Bitcoin, but also when the global corona virus took the form of a pandemic, many donations were made through Bitcoin. Even when Turkey's highest magnitude earthquake hit the city of Turkey and many people died under the rubble, a large number of people donated through Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a reliable digital currency, which can be used in all fields. The popularity of bitcoins is gradually increasing and the popularity of the dollar is gradually decreasing. Just as El Salvador has approved Bitcoin as a legal tender by keeping their country's currency, many developing countries around the world are making plans around Bitcoin. For a long time, the dollar has been used as the international currency worldwide, so it will take a long time for bitcoin to take the place of the dollar, but at some point, bitcoin will definitely be more popular than the dollar.

On Twitter, a video of a child paying with Bitcoin using his card at a shopping center in El Salvador, I also saw it earlier.

The ice cream is definitely delicious.

Using bitcoin as a means of payment is easier and more convenient.
The child definitely knows the advantages of using bitcoin as a means of payment.
This is certainly the stage we all want Bitcoin to reach through the world, but time is what can tell. El Salvador has indeed pave the way and cleared the road for most nation to know that Bitcoin is very much usable as a legal tender and if all the nation set aside the hate and spread of FUD and FOMO Bitcoin can certainly achieve more than what it's already doing in El Salvador and the rest of the world.

Well, imagine what happens when more popular stores, I mean not just in El Salvador, start accepting Bitcoin and start seeing Bitcoin as a potential alternative if everyone opens up. Of course, many will estimate and ask what the next Bitcoin price forecast is for next year and beyond.

My estimate is that currently most mutual funds and investment funds have not even started investing in Bitcoin. But, El Salvador has done it even though the journey at the beginning was not smooth and there were obstacles.

The country's first Bitcoin mining pool is currently ready in El Salvador.

El Salvador has launched the country's first Bitcoin mining pool, the so-called Lavapool, with the goal of making global Bitcoin computing truly more decentralized and exponentially more powerful. Strengthening the country's energy infrastructure, the announcement said the project was prepared in collaboration with mining experts from Luxor Technologies.  And it will only get stronger in the future.
The company currently operates Bitcoin mining policies around geographic decentralization, and the development of the El Salvador Bitcoin mining pool will further contribute to this goal. However, we are pleased to partner with Volcano Energy to launch Lava Pool, the institute implemented, and to support their mission in El Salvador and Latin America in general, and full credit to the country's government, Nayib Bukele.

In El Salvador, this Volcano Energy has expanded through the use of renewable energy.  Volcanic activity series is provided on the use of geothermal energy in the country of El Salvador.

However, the first phase of the Volcanic Energy project involves the construction of a 241 MW wind and solar power generation farm.  And will play a role in generating more energy in the future.

Salvadoran company Volcano Energy announced yesterday that it has received $1 billion in financial commitments to build a Bitcoin mining farm with a total capacity of 241 megawatts (MW). The plant is to be built in the northwest of El Salvador in the El Shiste region near the city of Metapán. One of the investors is the stablecoin issuer Tether, which just a few days ago announced its involvement in Bitcoin mining in Uruguay.

Developing countries will continue to follow the development of Bitcoin from time to time and it is very likely that the entire world community will make Bitcoin their target investment vehicle and fiat inflation will make Bitcoin one of people's goals for owning it.

Exactly, this BTC coin has something unique and technologically innovative and if talking about the future development and adoption of BTC, it seems that it is becoming more and more real and on the other hand, in this moment many people prefer to choose digital currencies because banks and governments do not have direct control over them but like any investment, may involve the risk of losing money. So, beware of Fomo and stay calm and hold at times like this.

I am going to share one thing here that El Salvador made a corruption report El Salvador has 6% and Peru top 48%. And this information is presented by CID Gallup who mentions corruption as the main problem of the country. Comparatively, this EL Salvador but at the very end 6% means that there is a lot of peace. At one time EL Salbadar was rife with corruption but under the rule of Nayib Bukele the country is now largely terror free. The country is now known as very safe for people and has become a safe haven for tourists.

It is really good news that El Salvador is becoming a peaceful country, the corruption rate has decreased a lot. Everyone wants a country to be peaceful, common people to live peacefully. El Salvador has seen another drop in crime. According to reports on Twitter, murders this year have been the lowest in the past 13 years. 2015 saw the highest number of murders, with 102 murders per 100,000. Since 2016, the homicide rate has been steadily decreasing, and since Nayeb Bukele became president, the homicide rate has further decreased. This year only 2.3 per 100 thousand, which is the lowest compared to the last few years. Hopefully the homicide rate will decrease further in the coming years.


The murder rate in El Salvador falls from the world's highest to the lowest in the Western Hemisphere — at 2.3 per 100k in 2023.

Usually we can witness conventional war by arms directly but we are unable to witness unconventional warfare which are remains ongoing all times all over the world which are Economic war. In the past we have seen how a country's currency after a long period of dominance has collapsed again. There is no guarantee that the dollar will not break even. In the meantime, the decline of the dollar has been seen in various ways. There is competition due to the currency of a particular country. But if Bitcoin occupies that place once here, it will be universal, so it is not possible for any country or nation to try together with a group of nations to collapse Bitcoin.

What fiat is doing can be done with Bitcoin, we are already enjoying some benefits with Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is widely accepted all over the world we will be able to receive all kinds of benefits through Bitcoin. The things that Bitcoin is doing is not possible with fiat. We can understand its advantage very easily when a war is consisted with a country or for any other reason when money is needed quickly we can pay quickly through only Bitcoin. We often take help of Bitcoin for this kind of quick help during times of war. Bitcoin dominates only 1 percent of the world so there is no end to people's interest around it. What will be the situation when it increases to 10 percent? Within next 15 years we will be able to see a massive changes in the bitcoin domination in the world.

I think that bitcoin was created to kill the dollar, even though it could take 100 to 200 years to play out.

Bitcoin is the most sound money every in existence, but bitcoin would not be able to transition the whole of the world's finances in a short period of time, especially since it has take nearly 15 years to go from zero to perhaps somewhere around 1% of the world's population invested into it... or having some level of exposure that might be even considered as low coiners for some of them.

Both systems have to exist in parallel, and sure there is not exactly a dollar system, even though the dollar is the most dominant of the fiats, so there are a lot of fiats, a lot of shitcoins and a lot of places that value is inefficiently stored, and bitcoin is going to eat the lunch of those various less efficient value storage locations (whether we are talking about fiats, or gold or properties or equities or the other various places that value is being stored) and bitcoin will serve as both a place to store value and a place to transact value, yet in the meantime, why are we going to spend our bitcoin when there are less efficient fiats (and other kinds of value) that we can spend first?
- I think it's going to happen sooner or later. If not Bitcoin, some other currency will eventually replace the dollar. As history has shown, whether it's dynasties or currencies, they all go through four phases: "Creation - Establishment - Decline - Collapse," and this cycle typically lasts about a century. Currencies are a bit different; they won't disappear entirely, but they can certainly weaken. We've seen this before with the British pound dominating the world before the rise of the dollar.
- Why do I believe the USD will weaken soon? It's because of the current global situation and the declining power of the United States. People are gradually realizing that the dollar they hold is losing value due to inflation and the Federal Reserve's extensive money printing.
- In contrast, Bitcoin is proving its superiority as it remains beyond the control of any government. You can see a Bitcoin - Gold - Fiat currency comparison in Fidelity's research paper below.

In the past El Salvador had a high crime rate. But now President El Salvador's government, Nayib Bukel, has brought the crime rate down from its high level to the current 6%. A few days ago, he arrested a serious criminal and brought him under the law and punished him. El Salvador has become a popular tourist destination, especially as crime rates are declining. Because since El Salvador legalized bitcoin as a currency, all tourists have benefited.
Because there is no extra hassle to read, there are also advantages, especially in terms of money, because everyone has some kind of transaction with Bitcoin. And tourists do not have to be harassed by local people while visiting the sightseeing spots. The country of El Salvador has become the focus of tourists since the benefits from these aspects.

Its not about profitable only when making bitcoin as legal payment method but also reduce of criminal cases is most benefit in El Savador after accepting bitcoin as legal transaction payment. Less transaction with fiat or cash have benefit with thousand people not using cash or fiat with their transaction and reduce 6% of criminal cases rate down most appreciated positive side with accepting bitcoin as currency payment. El Savador have got all benefit impact after accepting in bitcoin, all sectors have get benefit from investment until tourism get positive impact with bitcoin adopt as payment tender there. Have been benefit for many sector when accepting bitcoin could be reason for the other countries to accept or legal bitcoin as payment transaction of currency.

 This is what is a little surprising to me.
 Bukele spoke very harshly about the IMF a year ago.  And all his subscribers in X remember this very well.  Nevertheless, contacts with this organization not only did not stop, but even entered a very positive stage.
 Despite the fact that some time ago the IMF actively criticized El Salvador for legalizing Bitcoin, negotiations between the IMF and the Salvadoran government continue.  Now official sources say that the IMF in negotiations is based on considerations of “minimizing the risks of accepting Bitcoin as legal tender.”
 The IMF official also says: “In general, we do not support the use of Bitcoin as legal tender.”
 But the IMF itself describes the negotiation process with El Salvador as productive.
 Based on this new information, I now understand that not only is El Salvador interested in financial assistance from the IMF, but the IMF is equally interested in providing such tranches to El Salvador.  The real reasons for this interest on the part of the IMF are of course hidden from the public, and I suspect that the IMF itself makes good money from such financial transactions.  This is the essence of the banking system itself. 
 And even the legalization of Bitcoin turned out to be not such a big obstacle when you can make money... !

There is a lot of work to do, but the bribes (forced fees) that criminals demanded have disappeared, there were sectors of society, for example taxi drivers who had to pay these types of demands weekly and the police were part of the "pie."

A country that has gone from being one of the most insecure and most corrupt to one that stands out in positive numbers.

No one escaped corruption, former president in 2014 was accused.

During those years, Bukele served as mayor of Nuevo Cuscatlán, 2012 and, later, of San Salvador on March 1, 2015.

Obviously it has been a struggle of years, which involves many, although Bukele sees himself today as the only one who did something

El Salvador indeed has really stood out from all the shackles that the former president actually put her in but upon that the nation still needs a lot work to and as time goes by the new leader will definitely make room and way for this to happen. As for the case of corrupt leader getting away with their crimes, well most cases, if that is even the cases are even made public? Do get away with their deeds seeing how corrupt the system have been. Most nation that suffer such faith are actually third world countries with greedy and prideful humans leading the nation.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
That's when they should appreciate the use of Bitcoin as money because it is not subject to inflation. The value will continue to increase as time goes by. The US government if given a choice, they would remove Bitcoin from existence because it is a threat to the hegemony of the US dollar, but they cannot do so because of the decentralized nature of Bitcoin.

Even Bukele admits that any country will need time to achieve prosperity. BUT planting seeds across the country is the right way to make improvements and that includes educating or creating a skilled workforce for all citizens, especially the younger generation.
I appreciate you trying to praise Bitcoin and letting people see reasons to own it, but you are just out of the line in many of your writeups just like many others here on BTT. Overemphasizing things is very bad as far as I'm concerned and is misleading people. There is no threat to the USD from Bitcoin, neither is there any threat from Bitcoin to the USD, the two have to continue to cohabit in the financial stream just like other assets before Bitcoin without any show of hatred that you people are pitching them together with.
I don't really know where the thought that Bitcoin is in competition with the US dollar cane from. I don't think Bitcoin was created to replace fiat let alone kill the it as many people, including influencers like Robert Kiyosaki, enjoy saying.  It was just created to provide alternative means of carrying out financial transaction in such a way that it will not be controlled by any entity... paving the way for a free and borderless world.
Mind you, if the US citizens have more Bitcoin, it's a plus to them rather than the way you are viewing it as if it would cause economic issues and hence hatred for the coin. Even the US government owns their Bitcoin, so what?

Let us stop misguiding people and appreciate the fact that the US government is one of the world powers that still support it. Or do you think if they declare a ban on Bitcoin today, it will be easy for the price of the coin judging by their standing in the world's politics and economy? China and some countries did theirs without hiding but the US never did such but finding ways to regulate the use and business around it. The citizens of the country are also one of the greatest investors of Bitcoin in the world, at least we should give them that respect.
To further add to this, the much awaited ETFs are all US base or US focused. I think Europe already had one ETF approved which did not do much to the market. On the other hand, the moment one of the US ETF receives approval, you will see the immediate response of the market... this shows how important the US is in the scheme of things.

I think that bitcoin was created to kill the dollar, even though it could take 100 to 200 years to play out.

Bitcoin is the most sound money every in existence, but bitcoin would not be able to transition the whole of the world's finances in a short period of time, especially since it has take nearly 15 years to go from zero to perhaps somewhere around 1% of the world's population invested into it... or having some level of exposure that might be even considered as low coiners for some of them.
