Bitcoin has had over a decade to do what it was supposed to have done and the truth is, unless you're a dodgy cunt, there is absolutely no need for it and it shows no more sign of being stable now than it ever has and therefore, no fucking use whatsoever as a means of anything like a "normal" currency that was predicted to take over the world.
The truth is, with the move to cashless, crypto currency is pointless. When you can buy a Scandinavian Yak online using your own bank card and just have the currencies automatically converted, why would you want to have a yoyoing exchange rate to consider using?
Pointless. Unless, as I say, you're doing something dodgy. Sooner or later the clever bods will find a way to track it and use it to hammer the big criminals and then there will be little point in even them using it.
If there was some way to make it more stable, then maybe it would have a future but if I'm a legitimate businessman right now , am I going to keep my million quid in an orthodox place making regular income or am I going to buy a million quid's worth of bitcoin knowing that if I'd done that this time last year I may as well have set fire to £400.000 of it?
