Is Bitcoin USD 2.0?

Dear Reader,

Bitcoin, the main cryptocurrency, is steadily being accepted as a means of payment, unit of account and a store of value or with other words money.

Some analysts claim Bitcoin is USD 2.0 or a global reserve policy, but in electronic form.

Does Bitcoin stand a chance to become a global electronic reserve currency, much like the United States Dollar is now?

There are many factors at play. Fist there is no strong economy or military backing the Bitcoin. Second Bitcoin's liquidity is far from USD's.

Bitcoin, however, lacks the backing of a government which in turn could prove actually an advantage in that people trust the Bitcoin more than the USD. Bitcoin is already a global reserve currency but of much lower stature than the USD in the sense  that you can exchange Bitcoins for USD or EUR at any point in the world.

Yes, I think Bitcoin has its place as a global reserve currency, but it will be a lot less powerful than the USD in the beginning. With the passage of time Bitcoin's role as a reserve currency will continue to grow.
