So I saw many threads on will bitcoin be used by common people or when it will be used by all over the world and for buying groceries etc.
But I wonder, was bitcoin actually meant to be used like that? What was the actual cause for creating bitcoin? And for whom it was meant to be?
Any facts or thoughts?
Bitcoin was basically made to be a peer to peer system without any authority such as bank being involved. Bitcoin was meant to be used like any other currency, but it took a different approach than fiat. So yes it can be used for everyday shopping but we are still far from it maybe in few years if the bitcoin popularity increases you would see your local shopkeeper accepting bitcoin.
