Topic: What is the most optimistic result of Bitcoin? - page 6. (Read 932 times)
You can't force Bitcoin to solely be whatever you want it to be. Whether you, me, other people, or Satoshi himself like it or not, people will be using Bitcoin for whatever they see fit outside using bitcoin as a currency — and that includes store of value and speculation. Because that's what free markets do, and there's really nothing wrong with it.
I think the most optimistic outcome for Bitcoin would be to return to its roots, which is to play to the nature of bitcoin as a currency, as the opposite of global fiat currencies, coexisting with global fiat currencies and ready to replace the declining credit of fiat currencies, such as overissued US dollars.
