Hello everyone...

In today's world, all value is calculated based on dollars, euros, or other fiat currencies as well as other millenary ways of measuring the value of things like gold or diamonds. And although currently, we all use mostly as a reference the mighty dollar to measure the prices of goods and services that we acquire every day, very soon it is expected that this will change, and instead of using the dollar will begin to use cryptocurrencies to set references in prices, and the most predominant cryptocurrency for this new trend in the economy is the bitcoin.

Currently, bitcoin is used by 3% of the world's population in daily transactions, and it is so easy to use for payments, transfers, investments, or as a store of value. If we look at things with maximalist eyes we can say that in a few years the use of bitcoin will be so large that it will go from being an alternative or decentralized currency to being the main numerator of economic and commercial activity around the world.

This may be possible because of its unique characteristics that attract thousands every day, for example, the issuance is decentralized and unlike the dollar, the bitcoin is not controlled by any government or financial entity. It can be mined in a decentralized way worldwide and the issuance of bitcoin does not depend on any government. This is what makes bitcoin so easy to adopt and use, and even though it is only 13 years old, it is recognized as 0.1% of the world's wealth reserve.

And although the capitalization of gold as world wealth is 3%, if we compare that of bitcoin with that of gold we will realize that they are not so far from each other and that bitcoin has had strong growth in contrast to gold.

Now back to the topic of bitcoin as a value reference. Currently, there are already many athletes who have a bitcoin account, such as the American soccer player Russell Okung, as well as Ifunanyachi Achara, Nigerian striker of Toronto FC, and more recently Perth Heat, the Australian baseball team. So the foundations are already being laid for major changes in the economy, and although fiat currencies will not disappear completely, they will become less relevant.

And with the incursion of other technologies such as Lightning Network, the second layer blockchains, etc... And the fact that governments want to enter into CBDCs makes the generalization of cryptocurrencies even greater as it awakens people's interest. Imagine going to the supermarket and the box of corn flakes has the value in bitcoin instead of dollars or you want to buy a car and the price has been set in crypto. Very soon we will see in stores or on internet sales sites prices set with the value of bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. And although we are already seeing it to a lesser extent, this trend will only become more widespread.
