Topic: The future of Bitcoin - page 72. (Read 119605 times)

I'm optimistic future bitcoin will be brilliant, this is because the users continue to increase so as to make the price continues to rise. I'm sure the prices this year would reach over $2500/btc.

first I doubt that bitcoin can achieve results like this, I know the bitcoin a year ago when the price of $240 I had bought 2 BTC and I sell $275 price (2 months later) and then I leave a bitcoin and see price 3 months ago has reached more than $1000.

In my opinion, bitcoin future might be really bright for all those people that have joined this great community long time ago.
Also, im sure that it will be a nice opportunity for the remaining group of people, that are currently a newbies about cryptocurrencies.
It is because the price of bitcoin is still reasonable, indeed it is high if we consider the bitcoin price history, but imagine what may happen in next 5 years, if we had a rise from 1200$ to 1400$ in only several days.

I hope that BTC will reach the really big price, and the demand will constantly increase. In such a scenario, there are no limits for the value of BTC.

Very often there are conflicting forecasts regarding Bitcoin and its future price. Of course, I would be happy if the end of the year as planned, the price rose to $ 2,000. But I'm used to looking at things realistically and it's best to wait until time to be sure.

As far now bitcoin price has increased very fast. If we look at the price for last one year we can see that the price of bitcoin has increased drastically. I don’t think so that the people interest will divert to altcoin or elsewhere. Bitcoin is the future and in coming days more and more people will take interest in bitcoin and will invest their money in bitcoin. 

With the current price of Bitcoin reaching and surpassing its all time high, the future of Bitcoin looks goodas this will definitely make people more aware of Bitcoin and how Bitcoin changes the peoplea lives for those who bought whennits still at its lowest price. Bright future ahead thats what I see.

Here in Germany I haven't met anyone yet, who actually knows what Bitcoin really is and how it works, let alone using it.
Most of the people I meet, are in the age of 18-25. This generation have no fundamental reason to leave their comfort-zone of using fiat-currency as it is working perfectly well for their personal purpose in a relative stable country like Germany (Online-Shopping, card-payment at the supermarket etc.). These people don't do cross-border payments with high transaction-fees or were directly affected by financial crisis. So there is no reason to change the online payment-habits, "...as there is no difference between Bitcoin and credit-cards", let alone dealing with the additional security measures required when want to use Bitcoin safely.

What most of them do have in common tough, is a critical opinion about the governments, financial institutions, "The rich 1%" etc.
So, at least in my opinion, I think we have a feeling that something in the present needs to be changed, but can't express what and how it should be done.

So the core reason to support bitcoin is present, but is has to be awaken. A sad, but yet efficient trigger will be bad events like economic crisis, protectionism etc.  which enhance the spotlight more and more on Bitcoin and its decentralized characteristic.

For the older generation I see little chance...You can't teach old dogs new tricks. When I look back to the responses from people who I spoke to about Bitcoin, the older generation didn't even want to listen and just nodding through the conversation, kind of letting me know, that this is just a scam and I am just naiv about it. I hope I will be taught a better. 

Every​ day the growth is happening through internet than through other means. Without the use of internet we might be lagging in growth. For the fast moving world without advancement we can't get everything that's necessary for a living. So considering this at some point government will start supporting Bitcoin​ same as Japan government.

Maybe the future of bitcoin depends on how it is used today. If it is used well, then in the future everyone will receive bitcoin, and will be developed into the most popular thing. But, if it is not possible the government will consider bitcoin to be illegal. But, bitcoin will definitely be developed into something better.

Bitcoin will grow rapidly in the future and in the near future the wall street people will invest in bitcoin as bitcoin is being covered by media now a days more frequently.

The future of bitcoin is purely depending on the userbase but it is constantly raising regardless of what are the problems we are having within bitcoin ecosystem. This is due to people are having faith on bitcoin devs to solve those problems over time as bitcoin is versatile enough to adopt any changes.

The future of bitcoin is definitely bright but its hard to believe that each and every person in the world will start using bitcoins as some of them might find it complicated and will prefer to use only fiat and even the Government will play a key role in deciding the future of bitcoins.

This is why I have always thought of bitcoin as a hydra with an infinite amount of heads, as soon as you decapitate one two more emerge, I don’t see any way in which a government can realistically smash bitcoin and that is a good thing.

I hope that at least a part of what you had posted will happen for real. But I have doubts regarding the future of Bitcoin. In general, the governments are opposed to the usage of BTC, due to risk of tax evasion and drug purchases.

In fact, I have found out that some people are thinking that we have already broken the 1500$ area, it is so funny
I assume that it is because they have seen the BTC price on bitfinex , and they do not know the reason of why the bitcoins on bitfinex are worth more than on other exchanges.
Obviously, if you want to sell your BTC on this place, you are not going to be able of withdrawing the funds in a wire transfer, after all they have suspended them.

I think that we can really expect 2000 USD per bitcoin in this year, because we already passed the 1300$ area. It seems really nice in my opinion, but I hope there will be no strange , big downside bursts during next year.

The future of bitcoin was to become the new world currency to all nations.
and someday bitcoin will be accept by all merchants in the entire world together
with the other well known companies will also adopt it because it is very easy
to use and very convenient too.

Dear contributors to “The future of Bitcoin” and “Bitcoin Adoption”.
I started the topics, because there was no other topics already started that dealt as far as I was concerned with the topics.

In the “Future of Bitcoin” topic there are over 1200 posts. Unfortunately, when I tried to promote the idea of using Bitcoin as a means of providing charity to people who do not have bank accounts as a future example of Bitcoin adoption, I did not get any members attention or interest of response.

As far as the “Bitcoin adoption” topic, the only response I got was from the moderator who deleted my post that had a link to an excellent example of this Bitcoin usage concept that I was trying to promote into discussion.   When I re-posted with the “offending  link” removed, it was again deleted without giving a reason why it was removed. I requested the Administrator for the reasons why my second post was removed, but after nearly a week, I don`t think I will get an answer.

I was going to just forget about it, but I was bothered because I could just not figure out the reasons for the following.
1.   Why do the readers of “The future of Bitcoin” topic only talk about how much Bitcoin will be worth in the future? Why do they not also talk about Bitcoin adoption possibilities in the future?
2.   Why is there no interest to talk and discuss Bitcoin adoption at all in all the other boards and topics running on bitcointalk.org ?
3.   Why were my posts discussing how Bitcoin could be adopted in the future deleted?

If anyone can answer these questions before this post is buried under new posts of price speculation, or before it is deleted, I would be very grateful.

The population increases, the demand for physical use increases, but I do not see any connection from it to the bitcoin. Increasing population does not affect the need to use bitcoin, because technology is only part of society. The price of bitcoin may increase, but it is always kept at a stable level, which is a prerequisite for strong and lasting bitcoin development, which can not bring stability.

Most of the poor people in this world do not have a bank account, but they have internet access via Internet Cafes. They can only receive funds via Western Union money transfers which are which are expensive and not possible for small amounts. 

Most of the more fortunate people have bank accounts and internet access from the comfort of their homes. Many would love to be able to help poor people in need with a spontaneous one time small donation, especially if they are informed as to how their donation is used. 

Micro-JITIFA allows people with bank accounts to buy Bitcoins and send small amounts to people without bank accounts for free and from the comforts of their homes.

It is the choice between good and good. If governments start buying BTC, that takes volume up, yet they still cannot dominate the network.

If they do not, network will keep going on without them and their influence will lessen in the network.
