I was just wondering if one day it would be possible for cryptos such as Bitcoin (BTC) OR Ethereum (ETC) to become mainstream one day for people to use for day to day transactions on a daily basis. Because I heard that the people in Zimbabwe with their economic difficulties use cryptocurrencies as a means of trade.
Would the world adopt cryptocurrency as a means of transaction, what do you guys think?
I can't predict the future, but I can tell there is a competition as well. There are lots of other payment methods that are out there competing as well, though bitcoin selling point is the anonymity. You also have to know that it is not everyone that is interested in being anonymous, there are people who feel that it's just criminals that have to worry about such. And others are afraid that they can lose their money while making use of bitcoin because it is volatile; these people still don't pick interest in stable coins and I don't know why, maybe because they feel that they are not to be trusted.
If Facebook's coin should be a success it's going to be really huge, lots of people are going to adopt it. Bitcoin might also gain more adoption; it's already gaining adoption, I see those that use it for a transaction.
