With the BTC I think it’s also dependent on where you set your sights, mum. Personally and I used to get hung up with the global population problems tied in with associated immigration numbers. This was a significant problem almost 5 decades ago when China then imposed the families 1 child only, policy. Thatcher then wanted to turn the west coast of Scotland into a free-trade zone to accommodate Hong Kong’s dissatisfied people, which then puts their nice looking 100 stories-tall buildings neatly dotted around the NC500, which IMO will still happen.
Today and I set my sights quite literally on the stars via Elon Musk’s endeavours. The end result of which will be that in X generations time, we will again be complaining about over-population, but then will be in the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest neighbourhood patch. Which then gets one thinking of a universal currency. And the Bitcoin will always be the defining step in achieving that.
Previously it was a currency for purchasing pizzas & trading old classic Xbox games but now is a recognised commodity for trading. Crypto is now main-stream in several major financial houses with several of them putting aside 1 or 2% of pension funds, etc, to accommodate this.
You hit the nail on the head though with ‘computing technology’ which 99.9% of crypto investors fail to take on board. Namely, that the strength of the current system is also its weakness, ie. that computer technology is often superseded, hence my ‘4 years’ window, as 2026 is also thought to be when quantum computing gains a significant threshold improvement. And whoever controls that, then controls everything, and so new ledgers then needing to be acquired. Lol, computing glitches though will then be solved, rather similar to the conversion of dirty energy mining facilities which are now slowly being converted to clean energy sources, of which the UK’s Argo Blockchain is already making big inroads into. The paradox being that Elon Musk has stopped purchases of Teslas until these mining facilities are cleaned up and that one of his core philosophies is the capture and storage of clean energies, for eventual use on Mars, and of course to then buy Tesla’s again.
