Bitcoin's Future at Risk as Store of Value, Says Block CEO Jack Dorsey

Coin WorldMonday, Apr 7, 2025 11:31 am ET
2min read

Block CEO Jack Dorsey, who also co-founded Twitter, has highlighted a critical issue regarding Bitcoinโ€™s future. During his address at the presidio Bitcoin event, Dorsey warned that Bitcoinโ€™s value as a store of wealth could hinder its expansion and wider acceptance. He predicted that Bitcoin is at risk of fading into obscurity if it remains limited to its current status as a store of value.

Dorseyโ€™s main concern is that Bitcoinโ€™s emphasis on being a store of value may restrict its growth and adoption by a wider audience. He believes that Bitcoin must evolve beyond its role as an investment instrument to remain relevant. The limited use of Bitcoin as a financial hedge positions it at risk as emerging blockchain technologies and alternative digital currencies develop in the market.

The future of Bitcoin depends heavily on functions beyond investment speculation. This is because emerging cryptocurrency systems present better features and capabilities than Bitcoin. To preserve its standing, Bitcoin needs to progress toward becoming an everyday financial instrument that enables everyday payments and exceeds its role as a long-term investment asset.

Dorsey recognizes the existing practical constraints of Bitcoinโ€™s role, yet he finds encouraging trends. Bitcoin functions beyond investment purposes in Africa, Central America, and South America. The local population in various regions relies upon Bitcoin as their standard means to execute payments for normal business activities, including consumer purchases.

El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as its official currency and has started penetrating different national economy sectors. Bitcoin involves a fundamental transformation from its position as an investment instrument to assume the status of a usable currency that consumers can use for their daily needs. The recent shift toward Bitcoin adoption as a payment currency instead of investment makes Dorsey believe Bitcoin will remain essential for global finance, particularly in places with non-existent or inadequate traditional banking systems.

Implementations of Bitcoin worldwide show that it can function as a medium of exchange. For Bitcoin to establish sustainable long-term success, it requires substantial daily practical usage as currency beyond serving as an investor tool. His comments emphasize that Bitcoinโ€™s future growth depends on expanding its usage functions past investment activities.

To overcome its current status as strictly a store of value, Bitcoin requires additional technological innovation at its core. According to Jack Dorsey, the Lightning Network, which serves as a Bitcoin scalability and transaction speed-enhancing structure, has met initial success but has reached its limit in his opinion. Bitcoin developers should still investigate and develop technological systems that will enhance the cryptocurrencyโ€™s scalability, speed up transactions, and boost privacy features.

The principal current restriction of Bitcoin systems is their transaction speeds. The Bitcoin payment system operates slower and more expensively than Visa or Mastercard networks, especially when usage rates peak. Bitcoin must present users with fast transactions and low costs globally if it wants to challenge current traditional banking systems. Modern developments in the Bitcoin network must remain essential to achieve its future development targets.

During his speech, Dorsey emphasized privacy as a crucial matter. Strengthening privacy measures during the Bitcoin network expansion is necessary to stop government agencies and security entities from observing transactions. Users will likely increase due to improved privacy capabilities since many prioritize online privacy in the present digital era. When Bitcoin achieves improved privacy measures and expanded scalability, it will become a strong alternative currency alternative, attracting commercial users and regular customers.
