ive sort of came full circle the other way.
i feel that bitcoin has to be replaced with something for it to be a worthwhile currency.
i feel that too many are currently in circulation and being held by too few and it inhibits its use as a money currency and it promotes holding for profits. which is not what bitcoin is about.. its about being a semi anonymous payment method that is immune to charge backs.
im all for the whole be your own bank and being decentralized.. but its not going to work. ordinary people will never adopt it.
its too easy to steal and be scammed, its too easy to lose your key or password and its too complicated.
if a bank like chase made a coin, and it was backed by banks so you could go online and transfer some to a wallet and use it to buy things online, and also the government didnt try to hose you on taxes.. then i could see that being adopted as a currency. but then i think the banks like things the way they are.
until then, hold until you are rich.. :/
