People are confused about the stages of bitcoin (I'm looking at you Hive account@shahaan) bitcoin has 3 stages to go through:

1. A messaging app application. Meaning that it resembles the grow of any social media, or messaging app aplication, gaining market cap each day, growing slowly but steady, this is a fase where people are discovering and understanding bitcoin. This is the fase where bitcoin is right now, gaining market cap little by little, (without taking in consideration some markets manipulations that has happened since we can't expect bitcoin will disrupt banks without them giving a fight).

2. Storage of value. Once bitcoin, or crypto in general, surpass the market cap of gold (8 trillion) everybody in the world will look at crypto as a good store of wealth, when your coin in Zymbawe start sinking you 'll join to crypto and so on in every other country in the world.

3. Medium of exchange. Once bitcoin and crypto establishes itself in the whole world, that they bypass the discovery and understanding fase of the growing app messaging application, once surpass the approval worlwide of storage of value (even by governments), it will become a medium of exchange without being compared to the dollar, meaning that things and services will be priced in bitcoin, not dollar/bitcoin, and so on.
