Impossible to predict 10 years in the future, but based on the evidence I have now I would have to assume I will be buying groceries with USD just like I do now.
BTC would have to 1) be widely available that most retail outlets 2) STABLE in value
Number 1 is possible, there's yet to be any evidence though of number 2 happening anytime soon though. So until that happens I have to assume I'll still be using government currency for most things. When I go to the store to buy groceries with a dollar it's nice to know that tomorrow it's still worth a dollar. I can't say the same with bitcoin, yet.

there will be food riots by then here so I will buy groceries by throwing street garbage cans through the windows and cleaning out the canned string beans.

Bitcoin obviously. it is what it was designed for XP

Imagine it is 10 years from now, and you have to pick up a few items at the grocery store. After scanning your items, you pull out your smartphone and
—Daddy,
—Hmm?
—What's a "smartphone"?
First vote! Bitcoin is going to be *huge* . Assuming the ASIC crowd don't kill it with a monopolistic oligarchy.
I know my answer, which I will divulge later in the thread if asked (I don't want to skew the poll before you vote). What do you think?
