bitcoin has already been a global currency since it was first created. Satoshi waant people to use this coin as a primary school on the global and this coin is a symbol of the crypto currency revolution
Perhaps still not as much globally as you think. Because the fact is that only a certain number of people use crypto currency and there is no talk of mass use of speech.
although the number of bitcoin users are few but i think they are present everywhere, i do not think that there will be a single country where the users of bitcoin will not available. and in this sense we can say that bitcoin is is universal currency and we are hopeful that the users of bitcoin will be increasing more and more.
Bitcoin is already a global currency in online space, but if it's applied to real currency obviously can not yet because it will damage the dominance of fiat in many countries. I think bitcoin will be a kind of stake in market trading, and not bound as a real currency. They are just as liquid as gold and other asset products.
actually most of the people still do not know any thing about bitcoin, therefore it will take some more time when the local shopkeeper will also start accepting bitcoin for shopping and for so many other purposes.
You are right, Actually there is a lot of peoples doesn't know bitcoin. So i don't think bitcoin can become a global currency in the near future. It should share and introduce to peoples what is bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in generals.
but you can see that bitcoin users increasing and people take interest using of bitcoin because bitcoin is available in anywhere for shopping and i hope bitcoin will be sooner become a global currency in the future because adoption is on high value increasing .
Where are you seeing bitcoin is available anywhere for shopping? Honestly average people are not using it as a payment method for shop anything.
As a payment gateway just available in Japan.
This time bitcoin already become a global currency. This community has built from the people around the world.
Bitcoin nodes have spread around the world too. And it's an evidence for you.
