Bitcoin as a Settlement System
Some people believe that Bitcoin is best suited as a settlement system rather than a payment system. This notion is rooted in a view that it’s not possible to have a truly decentralized, trustless payment system that can handle the day to day payments needs for the population of people on this planet. They think that Satoshi’s vision of Bitcoin as a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash is unattainable.
