Just came home from the barber shop and I can tell you that the whole time I was on the chair we've talked about Bitcoin. I haven't even had to bring the topic of discussion, as "my friseur" brought it. She is the wife of a good friend of mine and knows I'm in crypto.

Hence opened up the discussion regarding Bitcoin, crypto, blockchain and why and if Bitcoin will be "the currency", the one and only world wide accepted means of exchange. I highly doubt that will happen as there are several other coins doing better job than it does.

Inflation is clear though, it's clear in the US, in Romania and probably in most of the countries around the world. It's a necessary evil that we will have to live with for some good years, still to put it in perspective... Hive is an inflationary coin as well, but there's incentives holding it illiquid that have boosted its value, despite being an inflationary currency.

Try that with fiat!

As a content creator and a person who basically lives thanks to the Hive tokenomics I can say that "the purchasing power" of HIVE has increased over the past year, while my national currency has lost its power in this regard on the same time frame. Bitcoin fixes a lot of things and most of you have realized that by now.

One question... Actually two relevant questions that I was asked by her and answered the best I could were: *what if Bitcoin was created by the corrupt governments and what if it's in a bubble that will burst taking its price down to zero?*...

The second one is the typical question most of us are getting when talking the dollar valuation of Bitcoin, while the first was welcomed with an answer that I hope made it clear *it's not a government coin*. My simple answer was: *it can't be a government coin as it's core principles and the way it functions are in total opposition of what the governments actually are, it's basically incontrollable by any entity in the world*. Not even China could do that as there seems to be talks there are still people mining Bitcoin in China.

In a post yesterday I wrote that the pandemic will for sure push many of us into cryptocurrencies. The way our freedoms are being stolen, the insane inflation that's happening all around the world and the urge for a trustful decentralized governance and financial system will push crypto mass adoption to insane levels.

Who's gonna accept getting paid in a currency that [has an expiration date attached to it](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@acesontop/the-threat-of-a-dystopian-vaporizing-wealth) or an exact indication on what it should be spent on, as detailed in my linked post where the idea of programmable money is brought to discussion. The world wide oppression is actually going to actually push individuals towards crypto.

*Is Bitcoin Really Gonna Be "The Currency"?*

No, it's not. As I told the lady who gave me a fresh new look today, I believe Bitcoin will play the role of digital gold, while other currencies will gradually replace fiat money, but Bitcoin will still be the leader of the pack and the pandemic is definitely pushing forward the development and mass adoption for crypto.

There's an unconscious thirst for decentralization that only crypto can fill it. 

*Thanks for attention,*
