It is really hard to say if it will survive or not because most of us will be gone by that time no one would be living to answer that here.
But who knows they might even change the name of bitcoin or even do something like split again.

Well, I am pretty sure all of the people on the forum will be dead, unless some new technology gets invented which gives us infinite life and by then we are all rich in bitcoin so we all end up living forever .
I don’t think the original bitcoin will be useable in 100 years, but bitcoin would probably have hard forked heaps of times and we would be using some amazing cryptocurrency that has no problems.
First of all, it’s a pretty bad idea that we all live for eternity. Overpopulation is already a major problem of the world causing severe survival problems. But you are true for once that we all will surely die before digital gold dies. It is pretty dump to think that in an era of advanced technology there will be no crypto technology. I think bitcoins technology will be rather improved to a level beyond over imaginations in next 100 years.

It seems really hard to predict what technology will look like in 30 years, let alone 100. I doubt we'll be using phones and computers as we know them.
AIs will probably be running everything. AI power will be insane in 15 years, forget 100. If bitcoin is going to survive, it will take a lot of changing to keep up with the times.

I am asking this just to see the different opinions of Bitcoin community about its long term potential
I know Bitcoin is actually strong enough and stable as well
But what do you think about it after 100 years ?

That is very much possible mate, the question is if that happen are you still alive?
actually, every business can can survive that kind of living except if end of the world comes.
But as long as the community supporting it and using it too, it will surely live long last.
For me bitcoin could survive even after a 100 years of existence. But if the government will see how it performs nowadays considering that its price right now is really high, maybe they will do something to regulate it. Many people will then try to invest or earn through bitcoins and as a result of this maybe some will be alarmed or they will be more interested on investing bitcoins. They will try to regulate it especially the government as there is no tax involved in bitcoin. Or maybe if the price continue to goes up many will hoard their bitcoins until there is nothing left in the circulation. I do not know but by that time, for sure I am already dead so I would not care anymore.
I am confident that bitcoin will survive after 100 years...we are now in th new era of currency I believe in future time cypto currency will become known globally and also can becone the major currency of most countries..the demand in bitcoin continue to grow also it's value continue to rise...
Bitcoin users are on the rise, and it seems like this trend will continue for a long time because all users continue to buy bitcoins, but I'm not sure bitcoin can last up to 100 years.
Even there will be a lot of users in the incoming few years, bitcoin will still have a difficult times in reaching a 100 year survival because there is a lot of factors to see like new coins, high difficulty for miners and slow network because in the next 50 years, bitcoin will become over crowded and it will lead on a slower network than now.

i think bitcoin can survive 100 years because in 100 years internet is better than now and technology too so, bitcoin can survive and bettter can today
I will assume that bitcoin will survive over 100 years just like our currency, because once its started it will already stay. A lot of people already using bitcoin and for sure it will still increase and more people will use bitcoin.

100 years is a long time to take, but like any other era who survive a hundreds of years I know bitcoins will also do that. Bitcoin is our future, the digital currency and I know there will come a time where people will not need cash but instead a digital cash which is more easy to carry and very smooth to transact. And having it decentralized is a good thing because governments always ruined things.
It will survive, at that time it will be the cybergold, price will be 100 millions maybe, who knows, lol

the bitcoin will survive, though the mount is limited, the decimal split bitcoin to 8 digit is not something usual. With that 8 decimal, think, how much the maximum price/btc. And after most people in the world have use it, the price will keep climb up. The miner maybe get a small fees, but more transaction will happen. And the difficult maybe decrease. This is 2017, there's a 83 years to see what happen, and I think we cant see what happen that time. but I believe in that time, human already use a cryptocurrency, as their currency.
Everyone of us might be gone then but bitcoin survives.
True, bitcoin expands, and it stores so much forum users nowadays, it may not shocked me if someday it will merge with other currency or even in paper money to increase it own value, people will have extra income, and someday I hope that bitcoin will still be decentralized for its own sake that government has no right to get some credentials from here, Banning in each every country of bitcoin must be banned well , bitxoin is useful we should all be thankful for that and not to abused it.
For bitcoin, it's not possible to survive for 100 more years. There are problems I heard hard fork and this will cause serious problems for the future of bitcoin.
I usually did not think about this but I know for a fact that bitcoin will survive after many centuries, decades or many years. Because of its reliance, and for a thing to survive after many years it should have supporter. For example the concept of trading. With the use of your money you can trade it to buy laptops right? People supports the money that makes it survived for many centuries. And the concept of money was made a long time ago, and we accepted, embraced it into our own community. So if bitcoin will be known in this world, then it will probably last.
I'm guessing a non-fiat cryptocurrency will be around in 100 years, but it's hard to predict which one for sure. I agree, it's just too long of a time horizon.
100 years is too long it will be difficult to predict since bitcoin is present until now its value is very high. maybe the growth will get better but with a supply that does not increase it will be expensive. this is an opinion if bitcoin can still survive.
Definitely a thought provoking idea. While I think many cities and buildings, especially in the old world, will look somewhat familiar, the technological landscape will be quite different in 100 years. Imagine what "technology" was like in 1917 and then apply exponential computational growth for 2117.
For example, the advent of quantum supremacy will require much of the crypto technologies used in Bitcoin (and most of the web) to be revisited.
I think predicting even 30 years out would be difficult. This is D-wave's latest "quantum" chip, which is not entirely useful, but Goog is shooting for 49 real qubits later this year. Even at 49 qubits, classical encryption is quite safe, but the rate of progress in quantum computing is tremendous.

Of course, the team working on Bitcoin can adapt along the way.

By then, I think it will still exist. But not sure about how it would be by then. It could have been regulated, it could have been stabilizided and it's price also being stable. I think the bitcoin supporters will continue exploring bitcoin for decades and try to expand it. Maybe we won't be here to see it by then 
There are things that might end the run for the bitcoin. This may sound less factual at this point but we do not know. I cannot really prove. But what if we made plans to preserve the usage of bitcoin, to make everyone educated about it. We will have a better chance to stretch bitcoin's lifetime if we will try to act.
