Bitcoin is seen as monetary infrastructure by Lyn Alden, emphasizing its store-of-value usage before becoming a medium of exchange.
Alden argues that Bitcoin offers liquidity, divisibility, and sovereignty without relying on centralized infrastructure, making it outperform most national currencies in cross-border salability.
Despite stablecoins dominating short-term crypto payments, Alden believes Bitcoin will expand as a durable, apolitical store of value and potentially more over time.
Bitcoin's growth is viewed as a necessary process, with the potential for it to become ubiquitous money in the future as volatility and barriers decrease.
