Bitcoin can be used to pay for things electronically, if both parties are willing. In that sense, it's like conventional dollars, euros, or yen, which are also traded digitally.
Bitcoin solves the "double spending problem" of electronic currencies (in which digital assets can easily be copied and re-used) through an ingenious combination of cryptography and economic incentives. In electronic fiat currencies, this function is fulfilled by banks, which gives them control over the traditional system. With bitcoin, the integrity of the transactions is maintained by a distributed and open network, owned by no-one.
As we can see over time bitcoin has gained attention but still it is not accepted by all countries and still lot of legal considerations are focused , Do you think bitcoins will make its way in business at a large scale in next 10years ??
I would suggest that would only be possible if bitcoins' problems and issues relating to cybersecurity are first fixed. Bitcoin may have a firstmovers advantage, but there is compelling reason to believe that other cryptocurrencies which fix the systemic flaws of bitcoin may be more compelling.
