Today, on December 5, 2024, the value of the first Bitcoin cryptocurrency exceeded the important mark of 100,000 USD, which at the dawn of the appearance of cryptocurrencies, many could not even imagine even in their most optimistic forecasts. However, this is already a fait accompli, when for 1 BTC you need to pay a decent amount of 100 thousand US dollars, which is even by the standards of the most developed countries of the world more than the average annual salary. Although quite recently, even 100 USD for 1 BTC seemed like a good deal. Events in the world seem to be developing according to such a scenario that in the near future Bitcoin may become not just another reserve asset like gold for states and large corporations, but it is possible that Bitcoin will become the very energy currency that science fiction writers wrote about back in the 20th century.
National currencies of countries can be issued in relation to Bitcoin, as it was in the recent past, when all currencies were linked to the country's gold and foreign exchange reserve. Now such proposals look extremely ridiculous and ridiculous, but even 5 years ago, 99% of people did not believe in today's reality, when 1 Bitcoin costs 100 thousand US dollars.
For comparison, at the beginning of 2017, I was about as happy about the price of 1000 USD for 1 Bitcoin.
