Can Bitcoin Replace the US Dollar?

From dailynewsegypt.com

Humans have always created a form of money to serve as an exchange for goods and services. People have used rocks, metals, paper bills, and gold as money. Now, we have bitcoin as a digital currency picking up pace. Many people have asked whether bitcoin can replace the US dollar as the world’s global currency. First, what are some of the features that money should have? They are: Money should be divisible into smaller units for payments. People must find it easy to transport money. It should not be counterfeit or replicable. Money must not wear away as time goes on. It must be recognized as a means of transaction. ... (full story)

@Not-KPMG...
Youve made a career if acting the village idiot here for years.
You have been cautioned a number of times by FF about both the abusive character of your posts and your continued personal Bitcoin promotion agenda. Not against the FF rules but equally irritating and distracting for members and readers, are your multiple posts, failure to merge immediately successive posts and childish overuse of emojis. (vis: 8 successive posts above and over 70 emojis?? )
While I congratulate you on your current good fortune be aware that LOTS of people here hold Bitcoin and other cryptos,, but dont make a career of preaching about it day in day out. Bitcoin is not a currency its a commodity like gold. It doesn't meet the standard criteria for currency.
Get a grip man. And please stop distracting working investors traders and analysists using these threads with this continuous stream of nonsense posts.

Maybe in the dreams...

Laughable how everybody going crazy on BTC and ads everywhere to buy it
1BTC= $36000 the most overvalued currency
Fluctuation is huge
Just a matter of time that people will wake up from the dream that it is unreliable when the crash comes!
20k to 3k didn't teach them to stop that stupid idea named hodler
If you can even cash it go do that now and stop the dream!

Imagine going to shop for 10 beers for 20BTC, so you take exact 20BTC. Trip takes 1h and when you arrive to shop you only have 19,58BTC in your wallet. It is very normal in BTC world. Good for speculation, bad for real use cases.

Read here info in a non-tech language where explained quantum tech impact on Bitcoin.

In short (ignoring 25% quantum-unsafe Bitcoin addresses issue...)...

The moment you want to transfer coins, you also reveal the public key, making the address vulnerable. From that moment until your transaction is “mined”, an attacker who possesses a quantum computer gets a window of opportunity to steal your coins. In such an attack, the adversary will first derive your private key from the public key and then initiate a competing transaction to their own address. They will try to get priority over the original transaction by offering a higher mining fee.

In the Bitcoin blockchain it currently takes about 10 minutes for transactions to be mined (unless the network is congested which has happened frequently in the past). As long as it takes a quantum computer longer to derive the private key of a specific public key then the network should be safe against a quantum attack. Current scientific estimations predict that a quantum computer will take about 8 hours to derive a typical Bitcoin private key, which means that Bitcoin should be, in principle, resistant to quantum attacks (as long as you do not reuse addresses). However, as the field of quantum computers is still in its infancy, it is unclear how fast such a quantum computer will become in the future. If a quantum computer will ever get closer to the 10 minutes mark to derive a private key from its public key, then the Bitcoin blockchain will be inherently broken.

When the world wants to go fully digital and make crypto the reigning and acceptable currency. CBs will create their own.

Bitcoin was $4k in Marchv2020 and less than 10 months later, touched $41k and if it projected to reach higher, after sometime, nobody will sell their holding.

Yes, it will become a holding because if I do not have emergency, why should I sell at $45k when I am waiting for $200k, then it will become short in supply.

In the mid-1800s, the first aluminum ingots on the market went for $550 per pound. Fifty years later, not even adjusting for inflation, it cost 25 cents for the same amount.

The aluminum market suffered a mighty crash. Entrepreneurs in the United States and Europe finally figured out how to separate aluminum from minerals cheaply and also how to produce it on an industrial scale. They did so by running a current through a bath of liquid with dissolved aluminum ore in it. The electricity shocked the dissolved aluminum molecules, knocking them out of solution, at which point small gray nuggets collected in the vat

Thinking how current crypto will behave when quantum computers arrive...
