From what I understand one seriously thinks about bitcoin as a currency anymore.
Think of it as gold for the digital space almost literally (it's expensive to mine, exist in limited quantity and expensive to keep secure)
People keep talking about high volatility but any currency can be exposed to high volatility and there was a time when currency was that. Now we have central banks but they have their own problems with systemtic bubbles.
Bitcoin will be a kind of contract ledger perhaps between countries or large organizations.
I'm sure a lot of people said "this is good for bitcoin" when they launched this
Looking forward to read how having long confirmation times, high fees and high volatility is good for bitcoin
