Far too volatile to ever be considered as "currency"
Imagine selling a house for 1 BTC in OCT '26 for 125k. You keep it as crypto & now it's worth HALF that. UNLESS, you immediately converted it into the currency you claim is "obsolete"

BUT since the trump family is in it I expect something to be done to pump up the price.
Will it ever hit the "500k" prediction Saylor has made more than once? No. And how do I know this? Simple; I own some!
