Can Bitcoin really be the solution?

This question has been on my mind for a while. Many people treat BTC as a cure-all, but when it comes to real-world applications, what problems can it actually solve? Inflation hedge? Cross-border payments? Or is it simply a store of value?

I'd like to hear your thoughts. In your opinion, what real-world scenario is Bitcoin most likely to make a breakthrough in?

BTC-1.59%

I’m optimistic about cross-border payments, but the key is waiting for transaction fees to come down. --- To be honest, the inflation hedge narrative is a bit overhyped—it really depends on the holding period. --- Allocating a little in your asset portfolio doesn’t hurt, just don’t expect it to single-handedly save the world. --- The most realistic use is still as a store of value; everything else is still in the experimental stage. --- Instead of worrying about what it could solve, it’s better to focus on what it’s actually solving right now, like financial repression. --- BTC as a cure-all? First, you have to see who’s benefiting—it’s usually the people hyping the concept first. --- I think the breakthrough should happen in areas excluded from the financial system, not in competing with banks. --- Honestly, cross-border payments are still kind of underwhelming right now, and the Lightning Network doesn’t seem as effective as people thought.
