in fact we can stand alone. we could buy something or food, directly with bitcoin, without having to convert it to a fiat, but for some reason a lot of people who are lazy to use bitcoin, and convert it to a fiat, then spend

I think yes bitcoin will always be dependent on fiat as bitcoin cannot take care of us in everything, if the merchants are not accepting bitcoin as a payment system then you need to exchange your bitcoins to fiat for making purchases.

As the title says, will it always be dependent on fiat currencies like €, $, ...? Because right now, you always convert before paying. So when you buy a TV, it costs 800$ so that means 1.8 BTC. And by that i dont see how can it become independant? It is just like gold, which cannot be used by itself.

So is my thinking true, or can the prices in the future be projected just through BTC; like you buy a TV and the price is 1.8 BTC. You buy bread, price 0.003 BTC .

I really dont know about these things so thats why i want to hear your knowledge on this.

It  is ordinary currency echange,bitcoin  is exchangable to any currency,if  not,bitcoin will die
bitcoin  is exchangable  to  dollar,yuan,euro,rubel,rupia etc

Bitcoin will be dependent on fiat for many years to come, majority of the people are not aware about the bitcoins and they are used to fiat currency, people who have never used internet how can they switch to digital currency.

Bitcoin will always need some kind of reference. And fiat and/or gold will be those references. How else can you estimate its value?

Beer, oil, big macs, rice, MW of electricity, gallons of gasoline, cigarettes, a month of rent in san fran..  shall I go on? 

Exactly, there are basic things which only fiat can take care of, bitcoins cannot be helpful at that stage, and I don't see in near future that we can buy basic stuffs using bitcoins.

bitcoin can't replace fiat soon or in the future even now many store accept bitcoin or we already have bitcoin ATM but when you sell bitcoin in exchanger you still withdraw local currency. that's why bitcoin always be dependent on fiat

Exactly, bitcoin can never replace fiat, even merchants starts accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment, there are many users who will be dependent on fiat and keep on using fiat for buying basic stuffs.

I think maybe yes it will be dependent on fiat for many years to come, as I don't see bitcoin replacing fiat sooner or latter, as majority of people use fiat and are more dependent on fiat, so its impossible atleast for next decade.

Yes that is right. Maybe someday it will be the one who will be used as a reference for other kind of currency, commodities and other stuff that will be used as a mean of trading. That will be cool its like hey "Gold is now 3 bitcoin."

its hard to answer what will bitcoin become,be like gold or money. i think ned more than 20 years for bitcoin to become independent payment,for now,let bitcoin depend to money.

I think it will be independent on a moment, but it will take some time.
It will but we have to be patient, the future of bitcoin is petty bright.

I do not think it will, in a few years the bitcoin will be a currency, I'm sure of it because the bitcoin is getting bigger everyday. I think the bitcoin is the future of all currency's.

i think it will always depend on fiat , why would everyone hold their coins for an increase in price so that they can sell it and get fiat . so that is the fact.

unless the people around the world  begin to be salaried directly in bitcoin, in this it's different

this is the point, bitcoin need to became the first and only currencies in the world to be independent from fiat

that is the wrong thign to dow with bitcoin, because bitcoin it's also an instrumean for buying stuff, learn to use bitcoin directly without relying on fiat, and you will avoid dumping and depending on fiat
