I have been seeing the progress of cryptocurrency these past few years, and I've been thinking, will it definitely be a replacement for physical money and use crypto as a primary transactions in our everyday life?
This is what satoshi dream in last 2009 when he created bitcoin, but it's not easy to replace a system that running hundreds of years because need at least education and learning from beginning. Because not many people understand if the new system is better than old system.
Like others have promptly pointed out, I highly doubt Satoshi's dream when he created and released bitcoin to the world was to take over and replace the current system of payment which is to a large extent, the fiat system of payment. More likely, bitcoin is there as an alternative system(some would say a more better mode)of payment to the traditional fiat system.
While bitcoin has progressed and is steadily gaining more popularity and usage worldwide, I don’t see bitcoin replacing the traditional fiat currency anytime soon. No doubt, the world is evolving and changing rapidly so as the modes of payment for commerce is changing. But that would not edge out the fiat system so easily.
Obviously, if there would be any replacement at any time for the current system of payment, we would also need the governments nod of approval for bitcoin to actually healthily compete to replace the existing payment system.
