Bitcoin is the asset that costs the least to protect from theft and debasement over time (once you learn how - which in itself has a price for non-technical people).

Does the rest of the world want to denominate the prices of things according to this asset? I doubt that - the majority of people spend most of their monthly salary at the same month they have earned it (including paying interest on previous debts), and save only a little, and since employers will always prefer to sign long “fixed income” contracts with their employees in a currency/token that loses value over time, the employees would prefer that the prices of most things will be stable compared to their salary.

In developed countries that make a lot of effort to keep the unemployment rate low, Big expenses could be denominated in BTC, like house prices, rent and of course things that depend a lot on international markets (vacations, fuel, flights, electronics, etc.).

But in developing countries, who knows?
