Bitcoin needs more flexibility and wider coverages, and with more social media promos. Bitcoin is here to stay and at that bitcoin will become the world first cryptocurrency and universally accepted digital currency for online payment. An assets and a great investment.
Bitcoin has the problem of high power consumption an no utility of the block chain other than bitcoin itself. That is something other currencies might leverage to their advantage.
High power consumption may be an issue now, but who knows if we may start seeing miners that will not have to consume much and still with a very high efficiency. We complain a lot about the power consumption, but we have failed to realize that a lot of things that are not even relevant or helping anyone consume more power than bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general.
What we need for main adoption is the speed of transaction and every other thing will gradually fall in place. Mostly everyone is concentrating on just the holding aspect of cryptocurrency as an asset alone now and we still keep complaining about the volatility.
