Assuming that they can receive and send their money quickly and conveniently with ecash, I speculate that they will never care about the difference between centralized and decentralized.
The majority does not care about centralized and decentralized as long as they get the job done. In the coming years we must expect centralized players flooding the market including major corporate companies and whether these entries will dilute the market is to be seen.
Would this not hurt bitcoin as a currency? Would this not only encourage bitcoin to be used as a speculative investment? How about mainstream adoption?
I am expecting changes and we will sort the scaling issues in the coming years, if you look at the long term
BTCitcoin cannot survive solely as a speculative market especially if the price reaches over hundred thousand dollars where everyone is speculating.
