lol , instead of arguing in Future or Present Why not assume it both? that Bitcoin is for Future and also for Present depending on how you treat them and what is you main goal to achieve .
I respect this thread but for me this is not debatable because we as bitcoin users and investors knows what is better for our funds and for our uses.
I agree, the crypto era has begun and is present now, and will grow even stronger, bringing more value in the future!
I just want to discuss with everyone the popularity of crypto in the economy, in popular culture and in serious areas like politics to see that we are already in the crypto era. I know that it won't have a direct impact on anyone's account balance, but it could help investors take this market more seriously.
I think we are currently in an era of transition from traditional finance to blockchain finance or DeFi. In 2016 - 2017 we can say that crypto is the technology of the future. But it's been 8 years since then. The era has changed very quickly. Currently, crypto has entered every aspect of life. And that is also accompanied by the rapid development of AI technology. I think crypto and AI will be our future.
I truly believe that AI is already present, because we are using AI on a regular basis, even if it's just searching for information on Google. Blockchain technology is the future because we understand it but cannot widely apply it at present. Crypto has perhaps outgrown blockchain technology and has become a part of the global financial market.
