Itseasiassa kryptonörtit usein käyttävät nimen omaan bitcoinia valuuttana, mihin vertaavat kaikkia muita hintoja, mutta julkisesti puhuessa ihmiset hahmottavat dollarit paremmin. Heillä on myös alusta asti ollut sanonta, mitä hoettiin ennen paljonkin, eli 1BTC = 1BTC. Monet katsovat kaikkia käppyröitä käyttäen bitcoinia juurivaluuttana.
Se ei myöskään ole pelkkä keinotteluvaluutta, vaan sillä on myös paljon käyttötarkoituksia. Esimerkiksi BRICS maat ovat panostaneet bitcoinlouhintaan tarkoituksenaan sovitella valtiotasolla kaupankäyntiä kryptovaluutoissa.

>Settling money internationally using banking systems like Swift can take several days, particularly when moving funds in and out of emerging markets. Finance teams have to resort to pre-funding or suffer cash flow pressures. Settlement on blockchains using digital currencies can be near instantaneous and carried out 24/7 (though you’ll need to add time if you want to convert the cryptocurrency for fiat), eradicating the cash flow gap between the costs of selling and the revenues from sales.
>Bitcoin payments allow for straight-through processing between payer and payee (though in reality third-parties, such as wallet providers, fintech platforms and currency exchanges are commonly used) In comparison, traditional cross-border payment systems can require multiple intermediary banks (also known as ‘corresponding’ banks) to support the path of a payment, which adds settlement time and costs. One study found that blockchain-enabled cross-border payments could save businesses $10 billion by 2030.
