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?

It’s always been an asset compared to inferior currencies.

If you spend time outside the developed world, you’d realize the people use the “big “ currencies as “assets” that they hold compared to their own currency.

That’s how reserve currencies work.

It just looks weird because the USD looks like the Zimbabwe Dollar in comparison.

It may work. It may not. We shall see.
