Sorry to necro this thread.
Bitcoin still going strong three and a half years on.
It's getting coverage lately with El Salvador making Bitcoin legal tender and also with Twitter integrating the Lightning Network into their new tipping system for creators.
It kind of sounds a bit too good to be true, worldwide free to use decentralised network of a "capped at 21 million" digital asset, there has got to be a catch somewhere?
I cannot help thinking that the global banking system will be forced to stamp it out, making their own programmable CBDC's king and then banning all other decentralised cryptocurrency (they might offer a grace period where you can exchange your filthy Bitcoin for the 'lawful' CBDC), closing on/off ramps (exchanges) and enforcing severe penalties for holding Bitcoin, I guess like the Chinese are currently working at with Digital Yuan.
The way the world is going currently.....
