Topic: Is Bitcoin designed to last forever? - page 2. (Read 9882 times)
Will bitcoin be around forever? Assuming 3 people in the world are running a node, yes. Is it always going to be worth something or as much as it is now if not more? Who knows. It's the first cryptocurrency so I'd have to assume something better would come out in the next hundred years (give or take;)) making bitcoins obsolete. Or it coin will just continuously evolve.
there is no one who knows what is the future of bitcoin we only need is to believed that bitcoin will last forever and it will gives us more money in the future, that is why we need to help to promote bitcoin to other people to make the life of bitcoin stronger.
yes i think bitcoin need for us to introduce to the public, its purpose so that bitcoin become a major commodity in the life of society, so the more powerful in existence. and when the bitcoin has reached retirement due to stock 21 million bitcoin has run out in the future. possibility could be updated to become more and more.
I am not thinking the original design will last forever, however I do think that the upgrades they will make to it as it moves forward will assist in it lasting for some time to come. The way it sits now, I do not see it ending in my life time.

Nothing is permanent, even something as popular as BTC. Also, the amount of maximum BTC that can exist at any given time is set at 21 million, so if it reaches 21 million, BTC will lose/gain some of its value, but it will soon go out of circulation as the production will be stopped. Also, it can be banned by a country and it could lose its popularity and die. But, yes, it is unlikely that BTC will ever lose its popularity.
While having more coins in the system devaluates the other coins the truth is that the rate at which the coins are mined is slowing down and the price does not seem to be affected bi it so I will not worry at all to have the 21 million coins in circulation. 
probably not it seems like the more andmore people joining the network and in future it will exceed the limit i do not expect to see what will happen then. there are only 21million btc in the network and they are not fully mined till now.
can you see at your statement that it's indicated how precious bitcoin will be ?a limited supply of bitcoin will make bitcoin itself rare
and when there is a lot of demands the price will be up as hell
regarding the invention of bitcoin noone will know about it , only time can answer it for you.
Nah, it was to last a few years for a quick cash grab and that's it, of course when bitcoin was launched it was to be the idea of crypto currency and being open source then generations came after by copying the code or and learning from it.
Bitcoin is more of an innovative idea by the people and for the people.

For bitcoin to last more than another couple years, transaction times need to be greatly improved.
This is the biggest drawback currently, in my opinion.
If we can get fast transaction times Bitcoin will be around a long time.
If another cryptocurrency can come to market with similar features and provide near instant transaction times without relying on a third-party application, it would definitely have the potential to replace BTC as the top coin.

we will never know about the future, because the future is another mystery. if the entire bitcoin in this world only reached 21 million spread. it's good to be grateful for the existence of the current bitcoin. if keberadaa bitcoin has run out someday, it might take very much time to spend the entire amount of existing bitcoin. so this time we should be grateful because we can still get bitcoin. 
agree future will always be a mystery, and there will be no one who knows the future of bitcoin will happen. very probably bitcoin could speak more in the future and it is possible that bitcoin die "if all users leave bitcoin" therefore bitcoin is not made for last forever dude. #imo
I'm here waiting for someone make an song like: "Bitcoins are forever" Hope it can make the price goes up.
What's the problem with 21 million? we have 8 digits after

It's designed to last forever or by the time we could have internet in the world...
Without internet and informatic, BTCs don't have reasons to exist, as it's a digital currency and only exists on the virtual world. If nothing goes very wrong with the world and the humanity, the Bitcoin can last forever for sure or at least its essence (the technology). At determinated point, this currency can be exchanged into another and don't exist anymore.

Bitcoin mining system were made to last several years, and now there is a timeline around 2100 where all bitcoins should be mined, after that the current system should move into fees to pay for the hash from the miners, or something strong. Some countries has banned bitcoin but hasnt affect at all the popularity, in fact those action has made bitcoin more popular.
I do not think bitcoin was designed to last forever. It is just impossible, nothing last forever. In our time technologies change one another very fast and this process are getting faster and faster year by year. So I think bitcoin will go in past one day as well and that may happen not in a far future. Now bitcoin is kinda on the top of it's development, but after getting the top always are following the fall. So it's just a question of the time.
Well I think that bitcoin is designed to last forever because of the updates embeded on it to be more accessible for future updates. They maybe some new technology ahead but I think bitcoin will evolve as technology get updated. There is also these people who are dedicated in Making bitcoin up-to-date and can give the demands of its users.
Bitcoin may be forward compatible, but its longevity is decided by the users and demand.
No matter what the technology is, if people are not convinced, then it is useless.

It could happen .because most media payments are not designed to last forever. because there will always be updating technology. there will be a replacement for bitcoin, but for now bitcoin is a revolutionary thing.
That is right. We cant stay of what we are now bevause we are getting populated. We need a faster transaction that can deal with a bloated problem when it comes to money. Sending money, online transactions, paying bills and a lot more. We want convenience and bitcoin is offering that.

I very much agree with you. But everything you say or think is not always true, for a future we cannot guess easily. Because all the things that are in the future is the will of God, so that we can only see and enjoy it. BTC is not something that can be missing from circulation if in the future growth of the bitcoin's getting good or stable while all total BTC completed in mine.
No one will last forever in this world but, if in my own opinion with bitcoin i must say it will last longer but not forever. As long as many people believe and will use bitcoin this cryto currency will have long life i could not say specific life span but it will live longer in the circulation of the internet world. Go bitcoin and soar high around the world as our hope this will last longer for so many years.
