In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Fedi CEO and co-founder Obi Nwosu predicts that by the end of 2023, Bitcoin’s (BTC) ecosystem will emerge as the clear winner among all cryptocurrencies. He emphasizes that Bitcoin’s ecosystem is increasingly becoming the “fastest, cheapest, easiest, most decentralized, and most secure.” This dominance, he believes, will only become more apparent as the year progresses.
Nwosu sees Bitcoin’s success in various aspects of development, whether it is for building functionality, creating decentralized social media networks, or empowering local communities. He acknowledges the potential for other cryptocurrencies to coexist alongside Bitcoin, envisioning a “multi-coin future” akin to the evolution of music formats.
Despite Bitcoin’s growing superiority, Nwosu also acknowledges a significant misunderstanding regarding its “slow innovation.” Many people perceive functional or scaling limitations, when in reality, developments are happening at an incredible pace, focusing on creating solutions “that are correct the first time.” While this may lead to delays, the approach is preferable over needing constant adjustments.
Nwosu views cryptocurrency as essentially “an idea,” combining both philosophical and technological aspects. Due to its intangible nature, it cannot be combatted by physical forces like “guns or missiles.” Instead, its vulnerabilities lie in potential attacks through misinformation and overregulation.
Countries working against freedom of speech or freedom in general are actively looking at stricter regulation towards cryptocurrency, according to Nwosu. In response, he suggests the best way to fight back against these restrictive tactics is to correct misinformation and create systems that empower the good actors in the space.
The rise and official recognition of Bitcoin as the leader among cryptocurrencies will not be without its challenges. However, Nwosu’s points serve to remind enthusiasts of the potential for future development and growth. As members of the crypto community, it is crucial to recognize and celebrate advancements while also addressing the skepticism and roadblocks that inevitably come with any disruptive technology.
By fostering open dialogue and supporting projects with genuine potential, the crypto community can ensure that the best ideas and technologies─Bitcoin included─will have the ability to flourish and realize their full potential. Only then will the true merits of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology be fully understood and appreciated by the public and the world at large.
