In the past 72 hours, the on-chain world has indeed been playing out two different narratives: on one side, institutional-level actions—BlackRock increasing holdings of Bitcoin spot ETFs, US lawmakers proposing inclusion in pension plans, pushing the price directly to $85,000; on the other side, more grounded scenarios—gaming communities starting to accept a certain mainstream altcoin as payment, independent musicians launching crowdfunding campaigns with it, content creators tipping micro-amounts on social platforms.

What do these two threads reveal?

Simply put, the market is diverging. Bitcoin is undergoing a transformation—shifting from a "revolutionary asset" to an "institutional allocation tool." This process itself is not problematic, but it has also led to an interesting phenomenon: more and more ordinary users are discovering that those coins with high trading volume, strong liquidity, and low transfer fees are actually more practical in everyday scenarios.

Imagine these real-life examples: funding online education in the Philippines with just 8 coins, purchasing digital artwork from Latin American artists with 200 coins, giving a like to social media content with just 0.01 coins. These are not investment actions but payment behaviors—cross-border, no bank intermediaries needed, nearly zero cost.

From a certain perspective, this is the original vision of cryptocurrency coming to fruition: making value transfer as free and seamless as information flow. Workers remitting money to their hometowns, artists bypassing traditional sales channels, individual creators directly gaining support from fans— in these scenarios, the liquidity of high-value coins becomes a burden.

So while analysts are still debating how high Bitcoin can go, another group is already building real value transfer networks with cheaper, faster coins. Both choices make sense, depending on whether you seek long-term storage or everyday circulation.
