When we discussed the topic of Bitcoin and its decentralized nature and how it relates to the economy of the world, I lot of people seem to be confused about the place of Bitcoin in the economy.
First, we need to understand the nature of Bitcoin and also its legal tendency.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is not controlled by any one individual or government that is why it is referred to as decentralized currency, secondly, Bitcoin is an asset just like gold that the reason most people adopt it for its economic benefits.
Different people use bitcoin for different purposes. Most people use it as an asset, while others use it as a currency. There are people out there that uses bitcoin to send money home as it is easier and cheaper for them to remit those money. Instant cross border transactions with very small fee with no extra hassles or paper work is a dream for all those foreign workers. I wouldn't say bitcoin is an asset like a gold. I don't think you can purchase (or anyone would want to accept) regular things with gold. And the reason most people adopt bitcoin is for the "financial benefits" that in return indirectly helps the economy.
It's true that everyone has a different purpose when using Bitcoin, and it's everyone's right to use Bitcoin for what. But most people are
interested because Bitcoin can make a lot of money. When compared to other assets, it seems that Bitcoin has a better performance.
We can see the development of Bitcoin increasing very drastically. Especially when in a pandemic situation like now, many people improve
their economy, because they managed to profit from Bitcoin. Therefore the government of El Salvador dared to adopt Bitcoin with a bold
decision to legalize Bitcoin as a legal tender. Governments of other countries should also immediately follow in the footsteps of El Salvador,
so that the country's economy can be helped. But unfortunately many countries are too afraid to legalize Bitcoin as a legal tender, even though
their fears may not necessarily come true.
