according to my bitcoin friends, Mr. Gates is just jealous of the bitcoin billionaires.

in all seriousness - i'm actually very bullish on crypto - but I don't see any reason bitcoin will be the winner for all of entirety. to me I think all major countries will eventually invent their own digital currencies and a new coin will arrive which is simply a fixed price tied to the prices of all digital currencies.



Currency in most countries already is, effectively, digital. The vast majority of financial transactions are done digitally.


what? no they're not. just because transactions are done digitally doesn't mean the currency is digital. the dollar, for example is not a digital currency, but we in the USA are exploring it.
