I really think #Bitcoin (and to some extend other cryptocurrencies) have the potential to be the one unifying digital currency, but one thing that - in my opinion - is the problem of the slow growing acceptance rate in businesses:
As long as the average Joe (or in my geographical region, the "Max Mustermann") can not simply walk into a store and pay with his Bitcoin / Lightning wallet or pay his stuff he regularly buys online this way, it is bound to the public perception as a niche payment tool for shady businesses or as high risk speculation.
Don't get me wrong: I find the technology and the concept of #Bitcoin great (and do so since over a decade)... but the real world use cases are sadly still very limited.
