The problem is, in order for Bitcoin to become a currency everyone will use, it should be stable. I know that you might say that people will still use it because it's not about stability, it's about freedom and technology. I agree with that, but Bitcoin needs to be stable in order for people to treat it like money, and not like an asset.
Well, your concerns are not unique many have shared their confusion before on these topics. So I will try to cover your queries one by one.
1. You should know the difference between currency (money) and assets, i know you are well familiar with it but the point is you should also be familiar with different groups of people who take a thing that you use to buy or sell in exchange of another thing or services, etc. as assets or as money. (it depends on the use of it) like for fiat, many hold it too like assets. isn't a form of money as assets. And at last, what if people don't want BTC to be stable, do you know why because its volatility made many poor, rich. And i also accept that sometimes high volatility is not good but volatility is everywhere even in fiat.
Just look at what people are saying right now, experts say that people shouldn't hold USD because inflation is just 5% a year, but imagine if you have bitcoin that can go down like 5% a day because some whales sold it. It will be problematic for people to use it on a daily basis because of that.
2. You said Whales are like selling BTC and dumping 5% a day of BTC which makes traditional people unsafe to accept it. Now, my question is, if whales are selling BTC then there is someone on the other side buying it too, As we all know matter cannot be destroyed it can be reshaped from one form to another. SO if Whales are selling then someone else is buying and this might dump the market (but only for a while which also provide good opportunities to many traders and holders).
Why do you guys think Bitcoin will really become the "money of the future" and people will actually use it like one?
From what I see, I think it's possible that people in the future will still trade bitcoin or try to buy as much of it as possible to manipulate the market.
3. Well, the reason of thinking BTC as future money is quite simple, i have watched so many futuristic movies and from my perspective, i have seen most of them are coming true, i am talking about technological movies, and one thing was digital world, which already came in the form of metaverse and when it comes i was assured that BTC has made its future, because digital world need digital currency, and BTC is the king and old ones so it should be preferred more. Manipulation is still happening now and it's not limited to BTC only as fiat is also facing manipulation, i have made a topic on
Is Bitcoin truly free of Pump and Dump Schemes?
