If there is no bitcoin, then there will be no altcoins since altcoins were inspired by bitcoin. We would never know about satoshi and his bitcoin "peer to peer" white paper. There would be no bitcoin pizza and there might be no blockchain. The only thing that is simular in the parallel universe might be stocks. I would rather live in this universe with bitcoin since it makes more money quicker than stocks. In the parallel universe, I might not be writing this as well since the forum does not exist either.
Imagine a world without bitcoin? You mean the world it is right now? You are making it sound like bitcoin is a mainstream currency and we can't live without bitcoin. Go to the street and ask people what bitcoin is. Most of them will say they heard about it but doesn't actually know what bitcoin is. All they know is it is some sort of currency and "people use it to do bad things" because of how the media spreads FUD. We can live in a world without bitcoin using fiat currency like we all are right now.
The world without bitcoin would not make much difference as it is now. Because with the invention of cryptocurrency, people still use it to scam. One have to be conscious while trading using the platform. It is true that with the coming of cryptocurrency it created more job opportunities to youths, especially those in developing countries who took advantage of the opportunity. I feel the world without bitcoin will still be cool and would not have much difference as it is now.
When I think about my adventures in Bitcoin and what my personal life would look like if Bitcoin was never invented it's pretty shocking. I think I would have spent a great deal more time with friends and family over the last 10 years resulting in closer relationships. I think I would have been more focused on my career instead of my crypto activities, which likely would have resulted in me spending far more time "working" in and commuting to an office. That would likely lead me to having a nicer car and spend more time building my wardrobe while being more concerned with my appearance. I would probably worry more about my personal finances and less about what's going on in the world. The biggest change though, is that I would probably have an 80% lower net worth. Who is to say which would be better? I think I'd be happy either way.
That brings me to my question "imagine a future without cryptocurrency Bitcoin and a world without digital payments".
___how will the world look like?
___will financial transaction be stressful and restrict?
___will there be anything like Bitcointalk forum?
___will the rate of jobless increase or decrease?
___will the rate of scamming increase or decrease?
2. Financial transaction have been always that stressful even by the introduce of cryptocurrencies (fees/volatility/difficulty...).
3. Not really sure about that but i don't think so if cryptocurrencies doesn't exist from the start. It's a crypto forum.
4. Considering people who work for online freelancing, the number of jobless people would surely increase knowing that cryptocurrencies is their only way to get paid as so many much of them don't have access to international payment services.
5. Scamming activities would surely be reduced as the number of scams in the crypto field is considerable compared to scams in other industries. however, this doesn't mean that scamming in the virtual world wouldn't exist without cryptocurrencies.
That brings me to my question "imagine a future without cryptocurrency Bitcoin and a world without digital payments".
Digital payments existed even before Bitcoin. PayPal (originally called Confinity), for example, was introduced more than a decade before Bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoin was invented to compete with PayPal, since its primary purpose was to allow for micropayments on the internet but without the regulatory interference associated with credit cards and without the need for trusted third-parties to facilitate the transactions.
Bitcoin is reached all country people. Maxima people' know the bitcoins. If it is not in the World. It affects the people. It future coins. people not accpet this. Bitcoins is future coins. So people believe that coins. That the reason people will be investing the coins. World without bitcoins not good for the future
While bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have adapted very little in our lives, their impact is almost imperceptible. Right now, anyone can easily imagine life without bitcoin and a cryptocurrency wallet. But what will happen when bitcoin entrenches itself in our daily lives? Life without it will be as hard to imagine as life without the internet or a smartphone!

It is interesting to think that because technology has accelerated so fast in the past couple of decades, something like bitcoin would have seemed futuristic or impossible in the 1970's and 1980's. That said, it is fairly easy to imagine a world of no Bitcoin if you can remember back 20+ years or more .

You don't need to travel that far back to imagine a world without btc because it is pretty easy to imagine now. All you need to do is travel to places where btc is unknown or the mention of it sound foreign then you will get the picture.
Btc awareness is very limited despite all the recognition and popularity it has gained more than a decade. Someday this will happen, btc will be widely used and accepted to the point people will begin to imagine a world with it, what it would be like.

No need of going back 20+ years to have an imagination of a world without bitcoin. We people have known about bitcoin. Reach a person who lives his life with a job that pays him a stable income and hadn't known about bitcoin. He'll give a brief explanation of what he's living, and he finds that life successful and enjoyable. If the same is raised to a person who have used to bitcoin, he'll brief about the positive and negative he had experienced out of bitcoin. In my view, if there is no bitcoin we could've encountered something similar to bitcoin in another name.

World has been existing without bitcoin, the existence of bitcoin is just some years back, which approximately is not up to 15 years of generally known bitcoin, living without bitcoin is what our people especially the ancient once have not witness, and also it stance now not every country that knows that Bitcoin exist, with the existence of bitcoin just make most our transactions to very easy between country to country, so i believe that bitcoin coming to the earth is eye opening to people and that is why people adopt it very quick, and what makes it to work well now is because of technology and is controlled by per person

A world without crypto might be fine, and we can also live our lives normally because there is still fiat that we can use as a transaction tool, but with crypto our insight is increasing, we used to use the internet to watch YouTube and open Facebook. , but after the existence of bitcoin our insight also increases, we have studied bitcoin, and we can earn money through crypto currency, otherwise bitcoin I'm sure other coins will never exist.
Since we are already involved with Bitcoin it will be hard to imagine a world without Bitcoin for us. However, there was a world without Bitcoin and digital currency. And of course, everything was fine. But Bitcoin has been created to make easier money transactions worldwide without involving a third party. It's called p2p decentralized cryptocurrency. For now, we can't imagine a world without digital currency. If Bitcoin no exists in case somehow there will be something alternative. The world moving toward digitalization, it won't stop anyway.
That brings me to my question "imagine a future without cryptocurrency Bitcoin and a world without digital payments".
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are one thing, digital payments another, just think about PayPal for example, that has been created several years ago. And even more than moving money around bitcoin gave people the consciousness that they can be their own bank, they can actually own their money without relaying on anyone else. That's for me the biggest lesson I've learnt with bitcoin.Privacy and decentralization are under assault all over the world, governments are passing all kind of laws and regulations to steal those from us in their attempt to control everything, if bitcoin did not existed then there would not be any obstacle in their quest for complete economic control of their citizens, but with bitcoin there is an alternative, even if the fiat system never collapses and they reach their goal of knowing everything that happens on fiat, at least we will still have an alternative in which we can take refuge and gain some privacy back.
I would say a world without Bitcoin we be the same as now because there are so many people who have not heard about Bitcoin and how it works. But i will say Bitcoin has contributed so much to life's today and is still kept in mind. Bitcoin has created opportunities to so many lifes. But if there was nothing like Bitcoin in this world nothing would have changed rather everybody will focus on there career and job.
The Bitcoin and blockchain industry has provided several opportunities in the world today, and also brought forth new set of millionaires. Without Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, we wouldn’t have had people such as Vitalik Buterin, Brian Armstrong, the Winklevoss brothers, Changpeng Zhao, Justin Sun and a lot of other people that we wouldn’t have known today if not for Bitcoin which led to the emergence of other cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin was what inspired all these other tech experts to also come up with their own ideas. And it has also made them popular and made them rich. And by making them rich they’re able to start up their own company and employ other people. That way Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been able to provide opportunities to the world.

There are many people in the world who do not use bitcoins. They have no knowledge of bitcoins. For those huge populations, digital money is still plastic cards (Credit/ debit cards). If there were no bitcoin, nothing would have changed, rather the governments and the banks would have been relieved to see that no currency exists for the people over which people have control. I still think governments wants a bitcoin free economic system. 
Let's not forget that bitcoin was created a little more than 10 years ago, so we're talking about a very short time frame. And many people don't get approved by banks to open a bank account, so sooner or later someone will them about bitcoin and how to easily transfer money without needing a bank approval. • The world would pretty much be the same with or without Bitcoin, the affected would be the minority who are into Bitcoin and to those it would be a huge void as we have gotten used to having a reliable alternative from centralized Fiat.
• To the minority who use Bitcoin for it's qualities, yes.

World without bitcoin will be the same as now, because the active user community is far less compared to the fiat. For now the Russians might've suffered without any way to get out of the sanction. Bitcoin is much preferred as investment, so people who have opted for bitcoin might've invested into stocks and other forms of investments.
As few users mentioned, the user community who have been making use of bitcoin for all the primary needs will be the one to suffer. When we make a survey on this, it'll be very small percentage of the global population.

This is somehow true, the population that are into crypto as compared to world population is still very small. Though the adoption is growing, still we can't make a conclusion for the general population. For most crypto users, we have seen the impact or the benefits of dealing with crypto or blockchain technology. But in case, bitcoin was never created, maybe another digital currency will emerge, just a different name. Because we are heading to digital world, so there will be something digital currency will come into life.
