"With Bitcoin/Crypto, what are you most optimistic about?"

[BitcoinOptimist]

Looking for 1 paragraph responses to include in Bitcoin Optimist writings. After the end of the year, the writings will be compiled, and a section dedicated to individual's answers of this question will be included.

Please share yours if you are interested.

Here's mine:

"Bitcoin could eventually become the best and FAIREST form of money to ever exist in this world. Going further, because it will retain value due to its scarcity, and because it is free for all to use, it has the potential to keep government and central bank financial shenanigans in check for those that need this protection most. Bitcoin could truly be money-of-the-people."

Many people have proposed and tried alternative community currencies to state-based currencies in open-societies in the 21st century, but Bitcoin is the first that has truly given humanity the means of opting out of the traditional financial system.

Beautiful. I couldn't agree more. Thanks for your contribution, I'll be sure to include it in my next writing.

Dash dash dash dash

I invested in dash recent and saw double my investment within 2 weeks. I bought at 19 dollars, and now its worth 43.

It is gaining a lot of popularity and a lot of people and business's are beginning to adopt it. It has none of the flaws bitcoin has, and I believe it is possibly the facebook to the myspace.

Yes, bitcoin has its original value, but its flawed, and is not suitable as a payment system on the go. It may work as a system of payment for bigger transactions, but its not ideal for buying coffee and groceries. It's not instant, and confirmations take too long.

When bitcoin splits into SW or BU..... I do not know what rammifications that will bring, and that makes bitcoins long term future, extremely unstable. Until that issue is resolved, bitcoin is only good to hedge against fiat currency like gold, but its risky, unless you withdraw before SW or BU is implemented. If SW or BU is successful, then bitcoin will again retain its value and become a new digital gold.

This is why I believe dash is the perfect currency for the everyday person, to use as a new method of decentralized and anonymous payment, instantly, without any hangups bitcoin has. Dash is also launching a payment platform called evolution coming up later this year, and I believe that the value of dash may well rise into the 100's when that occurs, so I think it would be a safe investment if you get in now.

I could be wrong, but I believe he was looking for philosophical answers about Bitcoin & the technology and its' greater implications, not what your favorite altcoin is.
