Founder Urges Bitcoin to Become Everyday Peer-to-Peer Cash; Adoption Depends on Scaling and Regulation

I welcome the Twitter founder's hope that Bitcoin can return to its original role as an everyday peer-to-peer currency. I think the vision is appealing but far from guaranteed given current on‑chain limits, volatility, and regulatory scrutiny.

Until those materialize, Bitcoin will likely remain a hybrid store-of-value and speculative asset rather than ubiquitous daily money.
