Curious what Bitcoin is to everyone here! We all have a personal subjective vision of what it should be, and I am curious where everyone sits.
I used to think Bitcoin was a digital platform for micro transactions and B2C spending. Back in the day of Changetip and reddit micro tips... I always thought Bitcoin was the online currency that allowed me to send 10 cents, quick and for relatively no fee.
That has changed now, and Bitcoin is moving in another direction which is cool to see. Its kind of moving away from what I originally thought it was, a tool of empowerment for small sending over large distances.
I now see Bitcoin as a platform for development. I think in the future we will be spending Bitcoin, but it will be a development on the Bitcoin blockchain. I think we will use it as a store of value, a tool for investment and a way to interact and sell things safely online, but also a means to store information in a transparent, accessible way.
I think Bitcoin is not even close to where it will be in 10 years, but I am curious what everyone elses vision is. Clearly the Bitcoin miners have a different vision that a merchant processing tool, which is different than the big Bitcoin holders, etc.
What is your ideal Bitcoin?
My ideal bitcoin is fiat currency and business. I was actually interested when I heard about bitcoin, and I think that was the meaning of it. I also thought that bitcointalk is like advertising of shampoo, soap and other things that I saw on television. I know that I was fool when I start imagining this stuff yet now I realize how's my interpretation was far from reality. When I began to have such research, I found that it is too different from what I've expected. You know what? Our province is too far from city, that's why the trends and issues about economy is too slow to get. I was too luck when there is a person who shared this to me.
