• Resumen

  • The rise of Bitcoin has brought with it a dream of an autonomous digital economy, free from corrupt banks and Big Brother governments. But as it gains more mainstream acceptance, some of Bitcoin's most loyal advocates believe that dream is threatened. All this makes it tough to forecast Bitcoin's future. Here, Scott presents three possible scenarios: it's not a currency, it's a payments infrastructure; hijacking by a desperate nation; and a revolutionary break.
