The number of stupid/redundant posts will grow expoentially. Undecided
Yeah, but we early proponents are all gonna look supah smart, and that's what counts.  Cool

That's true. Looks is what counts. Not some fanciful money wannabe like Bitcoin.

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf
What will this forum be like when Bitcoin becomes the major world currency?
We will be the heart and soul of the New World Order.   Cheesy

Seriously, know one knows for certain, but BTC is an exciting project, so the forum will be interesting no matter what happens.

I'm fine with that as long as I can be NWO Hulk Hogan...lol

Bitcoin is more likely to become a world reserve currency than a regularly traded currency by individuals, IMHO.

I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to solve having the blockchain handle the same number of transactions as a VISA or Mastercard, which means Bitcoin may end up becoming more "reserve-like" with several "banks" being trusted individuals that hold reserves of coin and offer their own services and each of the banks will just top off what they owe each other every day or couple of days.

It could be that if you own more than few dozen coin here in a few years you might end up being one of those banks, in fact.

Bitcoin was new when it first started; actually, it is still new. We needed the complete blockchain then. We don't need a blockchain that has every last Bitcoin transaction it it. All we really need for Bitcoin to operate is the first transaction that lists a particular Bitcoin address, and the current last transaction including that address. This would shrink the blockchain immensely. It would also make it more difficult for trackers to break the anonymity that Bitcoin DOES have. The complete blockchain could be kept in certain repositories just in case there ever truly was a need for a "ledger."

Turning money into heat since 2011.
It will fill up with altcoin announcements, and altcoiners will be bashing "BigCrypto".

The question is in the heading. They will need a "FEW" more moderators.

What do you think?

I think that anyone who believes that Bitcoin will become the major world currency is living in a dream world and may be smoking some really good stuff.

My $.02.

It will not become "THE" major world currency. If it ever draws even (or close) with the dollar, rupee, ruble, ding-dong, pollywog, or maple syrup - that would still be pretty big.

Though I think the proportions of "Bitcoin is doomed" vs "new paradigm" threads will remain the same in that case - because its value will still be measured against other forms of currency. The only difference is there will be a million a day instead of a hundred.

TLDR this forum goes to shit

Actually, the dollar is on its way out as the world currency. Right now, as we speak, China, Russia, Germany, and some countries in Africa are starting to trade gold for buying oil. This is against their agreements with the International Monetary Fund. Yet, they are doing it because of the mismanagement of the USD.

All debt fiat currencies are doomed to fail. It's built into their nature, and the nature of greed in man.

Bitcoin is a thing that just might prop up the whole world while the Dollar concludes its crash.

The revolution will be digital
Watching a football game is kinda useless, too. But look at how many people do it.

Since Bitcoin as the new world currency is yet in the future, probably by the time that it happens, the forum owners will have made this forum into something way more exciting than it is now.

 I would disagree, Bitcoin is something else than dollars or other FIAT currency. You can't mine dollars you get them only for specific job done. It will still be alive for mining discussions and other alts. If It would become major currency, bitcoin would get relevant for everyone and people would probably flood  here to get more information about bitcoin but yes in a long term probably It would get less popular.
