This is what happens when thinking in cyberspace, bitcoin becomes an official transaction tool and altcoin becomes coins.

This is interesting, altcoin becoming coins and bitcoin as official transaction tool, just like how physical money is right now in the real world. I think this is possible to happen in the virtual world.

Bitcoin has scalability issues and if its widely used, there would be some problems with network congestion.

Could you expound on this? Do you mean to say that every single people getting into cryptocurrency (specifically bitcoin) might cause problems because there would be too many people in the network, trying to buy or sell their coins?

The movie is about virtual reality which is one thing, bitcoin is considered a "virtual" currency because it exists only in digital form and it is not an official currency, it is adopted and used by a group of people called themselves a "virtual" community as there is no way to group them together via traditional definitions.

Unlike virtual reality you can't do much about bitcoin, in a virtual reality you can become a bear and hunt flying whales, with bitcoin....you can spend or store them. Bitcoin are real, even in digital form, what you see or experience in a virtual reality game is ...virtual.

Yes, I know, however, I was wondering because in the movie they used the prize money to run the OASIS, which is their virtual world so in a way, the money holds some value. I was thinking, if for example we have that same technology today or in the near future, is it possible for bitcoin to be this currency that we will be able to use for whatever we want? Does that make sense?
