“Jack Dorsey Says Bitcoin Fails If It Is Not Used For Everyday Payments”
— Yahoo Finance, Jack Dorsey
“I think it has to be payments for it to be relevant on the every day. Otherwise, it’s just something you kind of buy and forget and only use in emergency situations or when you want to get liquid again. So I think if it doesn’t transition to payments and find that everyday use case, it just gets increasingly irrelevant. And that’s failure to me.”
