Many will find this crazy, but I think bitcoin could surpass the dollar as reserve currency within 10-15 years.

      @gubatron @brian_armstrong IMO: scale down on the payment network expectations. Refocus on Bitcoin's strongest attribute : store-of-value

      @bergalex it only serves as a value store with price stability, which depends on a mainstream sized market. U need the payment network first

      @gubatron Mathematically enforced scarcity + unforgeable = great SOV. @DanielKrawisz had nice article on this here : http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/bitcoin-as-a-store-of-value-unit-of-account-and-medium-of-exchange/ …

      @bergalex @DanielKrawisz technically great SOV becaise of those features, but in the end, "value" is assigned by human perception.

      @gubatron @bergalex It's incorrect that price stability is required. If bitcoin goes up in the long term, then it's a good store of value.

      @DanielKrawisz @bergalex if you think otherwise, I challenge you to take all your money out of the bank and put it all in Bitcoin :)

    @brian_armstrong Many find it taboo to say that for fear of being judged or appearing as crazy speculators - kudos for calling it out

    @brian_armstrong #Bitcoin is very likely to become the world's digital reserve currency; becoming physical reserve currency is another story

    @brian_armstrong 26 months ago another guy alluded to Bitcoin as a future reserve currency: http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2013-05-30/bitcoin-the-perfect-schmuck-insurance …

      @brian_armstrong not as long as there are politicians and police to enforce laws and encarcerate those who break them. Regulation kills BTC
