Add to this all other business models threatened by digital micropayments, and it is clear why bitcoin is more than just a threat to the banking system. It is not just a new way of payment. It is a complete rethinking of what the internet can be.
Personally, I think the question of "Can the bitcoin blockchain sustain itself in the longterm?" is still unanswered. But if it indeed can, and bitcoin proves itself to be a stable invention, then the bitcoin internet is as inevitable as a wooden cart after the invention of the wheel.

Even if bitcoin should succeed, I do not think it will automatically send us into a some sort of grand utopian outcome. Bitcoin is a tool. But we are still very early in our understanding of how to use it. Right now, we are in this historical moment in time to experiment, and play with it, and dream about what it can be. That is what is so exciting. That may change in the future. The more bitcoin will integrate into day-to-day life, the more boring it will be. Something to keep in mind!
You should come checkout what we are doing with the ANNE network

see the thread below for info
official site is anne.network
but new developments are yet to be documented
ANNE is the Queen of the Hyper stream
Not just a coin, more than she seems.
Thank you.
I looked at it briefly but to be honest, on first sight it looks like a scheme. It seems I have to buy ANNE tokens to start using ANNE? Why not just run it on BSV micropayments?
