I believe that sometime in the future, perhaps within the next 5-10 years, Bitcoin's role will begin to shift from being merely a speculative instrument to becoming a decentralized financial infrastructure.
Bitcoin is not merely a speculative instrument. It has always been first and foremost a financial system that is free from the traditional one that we have. It has always been about decentralization. No need to wait to see it happen since bitcoin was started for that very intention anyway.
On the other hand, the influx of institutional capital through ETF and custodial platforms will strengthen Bitcoin's position as a digital store of value, in line with the current trend of asset tokenization and the penetration of CBDC. And network resilience is supported by node decentralization, increasing hash rates, and flexible market-based transaction fees.
The acceptance that we are seeing now is just a step towards a system where bitcoin is the norm. I guess what we are waiting for is for bitcoin be accepted everywhere that it is no longer a question of whether we can use bitcoin at a specific place or not.
