As long as the primary reason for holding BTC is to make USD, it will never be a viable currency

Now this I totally agree with. BTC only realizes its true potential when it replaces the dollar. It may have some more boom/bust cycles to go before it gets there but it’s the top contender to do so.

BTC will never replace the dollar, the US gov will shut it down before it does so as it’s not considered legal tender here. Same with every other country that wishes to maintain some control over their economy (all of the smart ones)
