Step 1:To challenge to gold in 20 years.Step 2:To challenge the world's No. 1 currency within 50 years.
Why are you making this comparison or challenge when bitcoin is not here for any of these purposes? What do gold and bitcoin have to do with coexisting when they operate so differently? They have completely laid forth their advantages and disadvantages without contradicting one another. Perhaps you should clarify and improve your knowledge of bitcoin's mission before asserting that this is its long-term goal.
I prefer to call it being an option that is always there for freedom lovers. Because of course we don't like to always be controlled and we need privacy for our own comfort and privacy is a right that must be respected. and Bitcoin has become the answer to that.
It's more like that, which is why the government opposes our privacy and continues to oppose making bitcoin legal tender for its citizens. I just know that it can be delayed but not denied. The mass adoption by the population is a strong indication that it is gradually attaining its purpose. Shades and negative opinions and feedback are unavoidable, but its use will go viral, and the entire world will be aware of it.
