Among cryptocurrencies in the market, Bitcoin stands out as the asset with the strongest potential to eventually serve as a genuine universal payment currency. Unlike altcoins focused on specific use cases, BTC's combination of network effects, security model, and institutional adoption creates a unique foundation for widespread currency adoption. Its scarcity narrative and proven resilience over market cycles position it differently than competing assets vying for payment solutions. Whether mainstream acceptance materializes depends on regulatory clarity and merchant adoption, but the structural case for Bitcoin's role in the global financial system remains compelling.

That being said, can Bitcoin really function as a payment coin? It still feels like there's a lot of speculation involved.
