<p lang="en-GB">Founder and CEO of on-chain data aggregator CryptoQuant has shared several key reasons why he expects that in six years, the initial vision that <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-bull-run-starts-monday-satoshis-message-to-nba-legend-says" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi Nakamoto</a> had for Bitcoin is likely to finally come true.</p>

<p lang="en-GB">Ki Young Ju, the founder and chief executive officer at CryptoQuant, addressed the Bitcoin community to share his expectations regarding Bitcoin’s prospects as a currency (as opposed to a store-of-value). He believes that the flagship crypto is likely to be used as an actual currency in six years already and shared several big reasons for that.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">First of all, Ju mentioned the staggering 378% increase of the <a href="https://u.today/microstrategys-saylor-issues-special-bitcoin-tweet-as-btc-falls-below-67000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> mining difficulty over the last three years as a result of the intense competition in this space. He explained that while 50 Bitcoins could be easily mined in 2009, when Bitcoin launched, with just a single PC, these days individual miners have a great difficulty succeeding in this sphere. Mining is now largely dominated by large companies that are often backed by institutional investors.</p>

</blockquote>
<p lang="en-GB">The second reason is that Bitcoin’s volatility is gradually reducing since the involvement of financial institutions is growing along with its appeal as an investment asset. Therefore, Bitcoin’s potential as a low-volatility currency will increase multiple times, Ju says.</p>

<p lang="en-GB">Ki Young Ju believes that the growing adoption of stablecoins is important for Bitcoin to become a “currency.” Hence, he mentions that companies, like Stripe, are beginning to enter the industry of stablecoin infrastructure.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">However, the important date, according to Ju, is April 2028 – this is when the next Bitcoin halving will take place. When it happens, he believes, serious discussions will arise about Bitcoin’s potential to be used as a currency. The reasons for that, per him, will be the decreasing BTC volatility and the BTC ecosystem’s further maturing.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">Finally, he says, the big driver of “boosting Bitcoin’s likelihood of being used as a currency” will be the expanding familiarity with crypto wallets and the growing stablecoin adoption.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">“As volatility decreases, Bitcoin's role as a currency becomes increasingly inevitable,” Ju concluded. He reminded the community that Satoshi’s initial vision for Bitcoin was not a digital gold but “P2P Electronic Cash” and this vision may be realized by 2030.</p> <a href="https://u.today/satoshis-bitcoin-vision-to-be-realized-by-2030-details-from-cryptoquant-ceo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
