Nice list of reasons you got there, mate. Every number makes sense to me. It's worth the time to read.

Bitcoin has a big potential to boom and skyrocket due to its nature and it offers wide possibilities in terms of investing. I consider cryptocurrency as a new big thing because of its promising disposition. Before, many people have ignored btc because they thought it was nonsense. However, during the present time, majority are considering putting their investment in bitcoin. See the sudden surge of users?

I just hope people would be more knowledgeable so that they'll be able to earn money and transact conveniently.

I see only one reason : Fiat sucks. That is really all there is needed to move to crypto and that is why I love it, I mean people could love it or hate it all they want but there is really one reason for going to crypto and that is the fact that fiat world sucks.

It is the politicians, the business people, the bribes between them, the banks and many other stuff that results with fiat currency being horrible beyond belief, and when a super wealthy person wants a loan, they could have as much as hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and not pay it and still get another debt, while if you are late on your $100 loan one month they will do everything to take your stuff to cover their loss. This is why I am in all crypto except my costs, as long as I have my costs down in fiat so that I can pay them, everything else stays in crypto as long as possible.

Just by looking at the factors mentioned below, we can already see why there are a lot of people who are investing in bitcoin right now. Aside from the value of bitcoin, the features it contains makes people get attracted to it. There are still a lot of reasons that are yet to come as bitcoin gets legalized all over the world but it will still take too much time before we see that from taking place. Privacy, safety and freedom are those of the main reason why people are choosing to invest in bitcoin than in any other coin existing right now. We should not waste the chance given to us, make the most of it with the proper strategies and decision making.
for now, if we look at the development of bitcoin and many people who love it, because of its fantastic price hikes and generous profits, we can appreciate the recognition of many people who suddenly get rich from the results of bitcoin. Indeed, to be legalized is still far from expectations, at least the current government does not prohibit it

it's true that many people adopt bitcoin as a promising investment. every time, bitcoin is answering problems in this digital era, with an increase. we just need to wait for bitcoin to be legalized all over the world, and this will be an extraordinary digital era.

I agree with you, government can decide not to legalized bitcoin in the country just to punish the users in the environment and also government can choose to legalized bitcoin  to improve their economy not to collapse in the country. Those countries that legalized bitcoin in their country are doing well with their economy in the country.

We cannot assume that bitcoin made their economy well as first I don't think they are getting a tax on certain individual who use this, but if they are investing on it well maybe they possibly earn good returns as the market is crazily doing good, but even we are in green zone these days still government should di a study since we have a bear market crash incident called and their economy will collapsed if we will go thru that situation if they enter and adopt at the wrong time.

Bitcoin isn' really new, if you have posted this in 2011 or 2012, I might've believed you but bitcoin is a decade old and it isn't necessarily gives you freedom since bitcoin is tied to technology and it currrently can't exist outside technology. For me, the reason that bitcoin is going to prosper is it is the first of its own and has since then led a revolution in the FinTech sector which is still influencing it until now.

I think that now it is unlikely that more governments will ban bitcoin.
Digital gold as some say has gained a lot of ground, trust and credibility.
There are no borders for bitcoin, anyone can invest. Some pause to think about the use cases for bitcoin.
There is a large family of cryptocurrencies that have been created thanks to bitcoin so there are a good number of uses.

But only 1 word for Bitcoin to die, "Government".

That is no more possible. The government can't stop bitcoin. If you know what value bitcoin has. The privacy and freedom from bitcoin makes it uncontrollable. So you don't think any governance or legislation can stop it.

Its quite true that even the government can be rendered useless when they wanted to stop Cryptocurrencies. The only thing that they can do is limit the Internet capability of their own country so that people would not have access to it or just remove the possibilities of them cashing out money from the Crypto Industry. This might also mean that the government does not have enough knowledge regarding Cryptocurrencies because instead of using its good side, they are already focusing on shutting it down which is not a good idea.

In my opinion, if the government will be educated what crypto is or blockchain technology, I believe they will change their stance on this technology. Only a matter of time before they truly accept this new innovation in terms of currency as well as technology. But the blockchain tech itself has a lot of benefits to offer to humanity. This is the reason why we are seeing a lot of blockchain projects still trying to implement their respective objectives. Anyway, we don't need 10 or 11 reasons for bitcoin to prosper. Because right now, with its current value in the market, I believe, the bitcoin concept is already a successful one.

That's correct. A single government can stop bitcoin within its borders, but it woin't stop it globally.

You could say that all governments together can stop it on a global scale but it will never happen as it has never happened before in the history of the world. If it's impossible for governments to unite and fight drugs it will be impossible for them to do the same with bitcoin.

Here everyone expressed their thoughts about this topic and my opinion is as similar as theirs. One thing I want to state that BTC always maintains its quality first and try to make it more useful. People can get benefits from the other cryptocurrencies.

Well not 10 but 11 reasons, round numbers seem to look better))))
All of the following is my humble opinion about bitcoin future from the marketing point of view.
So here we go:

1)   It’s New!
Bitcoin is a new and fresh thing. And there is always a factor of interest for something totally new and just gaining popularity. Whether this wave will be short or long, the main thing it exists.

2)   Freedom
There is always demand for a way to trade free and bitcoin is the only way today to do it. (altcoins still very small and underdeveloped). FIA currencies  hold so many limitation and borders , they hardly could be called a free way for trading today.

3)   Privacy
This is actually very big and complex issue. Privacy is needed not only for selling illegal stuff, but needed  by general public as well. Whether it is psychologically motivated or legit need for fund safety. Principals of Secrecy and  sanctity of property rights were untouchable but not anymore. Cyprus was just a warm-up, test for the incoming actual attack on property rights all around the world.
Just recently ended long respected era of bank secrecy in swiss banks
http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/swiss-sign-last-rites-banking-secrecy-oecd-100647333.html

4)   Safety
Today banks are not actually safe way to hold to your money anymore. Banking crisis, high possibility of money theft, shifts in personal rights politics and many more. Bank can freeze your account or even take away a part of your money like they did all over the world. (again Cyprus is the most graphic example). Bitcoin gives you today maybe the highest level of money safety and freedom.
Bitcoin is the first structure that gains its safety not by political or cultural decisions but from great open source code. This is actually kind of “New Era” stuff.

5)   Market stats

Whatever the reasons are, crypto-currency  market is growing, and it’s a fact. So the tendency will continue for some time. People believe in what they see so stats are not only “conclusion” but also a “reason”.
You can look here for number of transactions growth stats
http://blockchain.info/en/charts/n-transactions-excluding-popular?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=
And here for market capitalization
http://blockchain.info/charts/market-cap?timespan=1year&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

6)   Black market factor
It is all about reasons 2, 3 and 4, but what I am trying to say here is little bit different. Total black market capacity of the world is more than 2 trillion US dollars. And BM actually needs systems like bitcoin. So we will witness a big  shift towards bitcoin with those groups, I think.


7)   Limited emission and mining

As you know bitcoin code limits daily emission of coins into the network, so there is no regulatory or any other softening factor to limit deficit when it hits the market. So significant deflation kicks in. And though mining difficulty does not have direct effect on BTC price, it still kind of does, as bitcoin quantity is limited in the end.

8 )   Herd instinct
Even not very good or valuable products can witness the herd instinct effect. When everyone uses twitter(service with very limited functionality), a lot of people kind of subconsciously want to use it too. In some cases you will even have to follow the public in case if you need to reach that group of people. The effect is also witnessed at vogue waves. So the more people will use bitcoin, the more new ones will follow them. So it can kind of  snowball at some point.

9)   Geek effect
Geeks are a very big group of people and bitcoin is as cutting edge as it gets. So it is match made in heaven. We already can see a huge support from fans of new technology. For some it’s “just for fun”, for others it’s lifestyle or even ideology.

10)   Free market gap
1,5 billion dollar “capitalization” today is a drop at the sea. There is a huge market for that kind of financial instrument and there is no actual competition. Altcoins are trailing behind and IT corporations are afraid to start a new currency.

11)   Hidden functions
Well, not actually hidden, but not used. Bitcoin code gives us much more financial instruments then most people even know. Like futures trading, betting, sharing info, securing links, contract registration and so much more. As new bitcoin functions will be discovered by the public, more people will get involved.

I know that some reasons are part of another and my “factors” are from very different fields of marketing. I am not trying to pass the test! I am trying to make a point.

PS
i know there are many ppl still using this for explanation behind bitcoin growth. sadly i did not have enough funds to diversify my investment and wex nz took everything i had. if you can help in any way pls contact me.

And above all of that is the Profits  Grin Grin Grin. The one I keep seeing investors hammer on today is that No.4 Safety, and how Banks are no longer safe to save your money. Yeah we do understand that banks do have one or two financial issues some times but my question still remains, Before crypto, what was your view with banking system over the decades? We cannot now start to trash one system just cos we have another means and I bet you most have transfer your first Investment funds from bank even if you no longer do that or may be you still do.

These are great reasons as to why bitcoin will prosper. I, however, do believe that one can continue to list without stopping reasons why bitcoin will continue to prosper.
I do believe, though, that one of the most important reasons bitcoin will prosper is the privacy it gives to its users. The anonymity one enjoys with using bitcoin is quite underrated. Now, I'm not afraid my details might be used against me because I no longer need them to make transactions.
Now, the most important advantage of bitcoin is the freedom we enjoy. Bitcoin took away power from the government and banks and gave that power to the masses. Now, I control all my finances and I am not afraid it might be confiscated at any time.

There are really a lot of reasons for us to be prosper because of bitcoin.  One of this I think is if you know the proper knowledge of doing the actual trade you can be a millionaire instantly, if you timing the coin you buy will become x 1000% profit of your capital investment especially you buy a huge amount it. Then secondly, if you participate or join in one of the ico signature campaign aor invest some of the ico token you could also become rich because of it.

Yeah, writing about update will be cool and I am glad that bitcoins have proved of the reasons already true by now. Bitcoins are the future. I don’t understand why some dumb investors don’t get this point and keep wasting time into other shitty coins. Invest into bitcoins for bright future.
