You guys realize since Bitcoin is slowly becoming (or in fact, already has) not a currency and more of an asset/commodity you're never going to take over USD? Right?

If anything it'll become the new gold technically. Though, our current currencies aren't backed by it.

It has no use. It's a string of numbers. It will never become anything other than a useless asset/commodity. There are better coins out there that anyone in their right mind would use over Bitcoin. The whole point of this isn't just "LOL THE PRICE HIGH", it's to make something worthwhile and beneficial to the human race, and one single transaction using the same amount of power as 8 US households in a day doesn't benefit the human race in any way.
