Bitcoin undoubtedly is a technical and social phenomenon, but it’s also definitely almost useless as a digital currency at the moment. Other alternatives like Bitcoin cash, litecoin, ethereum etc. are much more useful for actually... sending money to people. The dev team needs to make Bitcoin as good as Venmo for sending payments between people, or someone else will beat them to it. People have talked for a long time about currency X being better and replacing Bitcoin but with Bitcoin rising so fast that the network has basically shut down, this may be the first time another currency or fork has the opportunity to overtake it in market cap.
