The worldview of Bitcoin today - Read This and What You Think
I try to express my opinion about how the world sees bitcoin as a legitimate currency? "legitimate"?. This is a bit disturbing my thinking about bitcoin. Where is the bitcoin declared legitimate as the world's currency? And I did some research on bitcoin and tried to deepen about this bitcoin.
Why? Since this attracts almost everyone on earth is starting to look for bitcoin and even I was surprised to see a junior high school student ask me what is bitcoin, true or fraudulent? And if it's real how to collect it? This is really interesting especially now bitcoin has a very surprising trade. Hahha
So let's get started, with bitcoin history
Bitcoin is one of the stand-alone currencies created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. and today the exchange of bitcoin to the world's currency is 1 BTC = 2533 USD. This value is very much different from a few years ago for example in 2010 the price of 1 BTC is only 0.07 USD. Bitcoin is so surprising to everyone right now but will this bitcoin be real? Whether this could be the world's currency later?
When we talk about whether this bitcoin will become the world's currency later? Let's see the condition of a currency is legitimate in the world and its unfortunately at this time I have not been able to where the valid conditions of a currency.
But according to some bitcoin friends it is recognized because the market recognizes its existence in the world. And I agree on this. But there are some other things that become a question. Where does the bitcoin come from? And why do people in this world look for bitcoin? * If you have a reason please comment below: D
The origin of bitcoin is still unclear in my head, not that I do not recognize that bitcoin is real. Right now I'm just trying to find out about bitcoin.

History proves all these cases to be true. Who knows how the future will suggest to us how to form money, after we now see the digital currency as usual? "

Peter Thiel, Cofounder of Paypal
"I really like Bitcoin. I have Bitcoins. This is a place of saving investment, an open accounting form. This is a great place to place assets, especially in places like Argentina with inflation reaching 40 percent, where $ 1 is currently worth 60 cents a year, and the government currency does not have a strong currency value. It is also a good investment vehicle if you have an appetite for risk. But Bitcoin will not really be a currency until the value of ups and downs slows down. "
David Marcus, CEO of Paypal

This really appeals to me, and whether the future bitcoin can be a legitimate world currency? And I hope this can come true.

@hornetto,
Yeah BTC can be a legitimate world currency. Due to it's ledger yep it's much better than bank transactions. But, we don't know what will happen in future. Sometimes a new coin can dominant the market with a better eco system than BTC.
Anyway nice article with a lot of details. Really appreciate your effort!
Cheers~
so if something happen in future, Is it possible that people will move in the future? And how do you think about bitcoin better than gold?
