I'm not referring to the price of Bitcoin (we all know it's going to be $250,000/coin by 2022), but the goal that it would be a legitimate alternative to inflationary government fiat currencies. When the altcoin market is examined, it is inextricably linked to the price of Bitcoin. Where Bitcoin goes, so does the rest of the cryptocurrencies. There's even somewhat of a dismissive attitude toward other crytpos in some investment circles; strangely this was a similar sentiment held by those "respectable" investors when Bitcoin was in its infancy.
What do you think? I'd love to hear from some crytpo veterans.
Yet while we are not paying for the goods and services with our bitcoin directly I think that the goal of Bitcoin is not reached yet, but we are heading towards it, indeed we are. Day-to-day.
