Bitcoin Forum

Now that you've adopted bitcoins, discovered its interesting uses, could you imagine a stable world without Bitcoin?

Imagining a WORLD without bitcoin is kind of hard for my little brain. all I know that some things, good and bad things alike, will cease to happen if bitcoin never existed. and that a lot less people will know what currency trading are.

Yes, nothing will be changed without Bitcoin.

Now that i am here and have seen the ball rolling there is no way i can imagine all of this gone, it is unthinkable to be honest and i would hate to have to go back to the bankers trap with not many ways of getting out of it for myself and future family.

The world would still be the same for the majority but for the few that has arrived here and know what it is about the world would never be the same again, so many what ifs? Luckily we don't need to worry about that, this is here to stay :)

Definitely not. We're in it for a change, and Bitcoin is bringing positive change to our society

Things will take time, and Bitcoin won't probably be around when things change for the better... But the seed is planted :) And we can't live without that

That's it. It's still too early.
They said the same about computers some years ago.

We will see in some years. We just have to sit back, relax and hodl.

There was a world without bitcoin, and there will be a world if due to some reason bitcoin stops to be, altho i would rather live in a world where im allowed to be my own bank.
A lot of positive things allready happened due to bitcoin, so even in an unlikely even that there isnt bitcoin anymore, im glad we were fighting for a just couse, and im sure other people agree.
Why do you even consider such an option anyways, the wayi see things , were doing good..

cheers

Maybe I can imagine that

If there is no BTCitcoin in this world
I wouldn't entering this money making life ::)
I wouldn't get my first Original Game :-\
I wouldn't get my own earnings :(
And I wouldn't be in this forum, because this Forum will never exist :'(

That's all what can I imagine ;)

Imagine my life without bitcoins? Here I'm trying hard to imagine my life WITH bitcoins (and without fiat) to no success.

I have voted : Undecided.

At this point I can say that Bitcoin isn't that important to the level that it would affect my earnings and financial situation if I stopped using it.

That might change in the future. As it is now, Bitcoin is way too unstable for me to dump a big chunk of my savings in it.

I would love to, especially to get that money out of the hands of the banks and governments.

Once it reaches the stability I am looking for, which allows me to convert my savings to Bitcoin, I can say without a doubt that I can't life without Bitcoin anymore.

I would be so lost, I love bitcoin!

no is my answer but the true is that right now, bitcoin isn't really so much ahead of fiat, i only love the decentralization part for now

I can imagine how my life without bitcoins...
Maybe just another plain life for other people
For me Bitcoin is kinda important for my economy ;D
I can earn my own money with it ;D

So yup, Bitcoin for me, is really really Important ;)

Well, it has become my main hobby so I would miss it a lot. Pls do not scare me that way.

Sure, pretty much like it was for my entire life for the exception of the last two years. :)

Well, even the last two years didn't change much, it's just another currency I use, been using several currencies and payment systems on the Internet since 2004 or so...

Pretty much this is my answer too. I would like to add that it is too early for bitcoin to have impact on people. If we had integrated bitcoin payment on the level and functionality of current paypal or credit cards
processors. Then we would be able to feel that bitcoin is missing from our lives. Without it I would not really feel it that bitcoin is missing.

Absolutely, bitcoin is not at a level where a large amount of people depend or rely on it.
If it became the new primary way to pay rent/mortgage, gas, food then it would be difficult to imagine life without BTC.

Nope. It's a definitive non sequitir if you think about. Bitcoin has been a result out of necessity, a necessity to have an alternative in this fucked up scam of a system, therefore it would never have been different, Bitcoin would have always have been created at the end.

Not really, the last 3 years of my life have been heavily revolved around BTC, helped me enormously with my future/education (from a financial POV).

Yes, and I can imagine a world without the internet. And a world without computers. But I wouldn't be particularly excited about any of them.

I simply cannot imagine my life without a Bitcoin poll.

Hah. Good one. Any other polls you re personally attached to?

It is easy for me to imagine, I would have a lot more time for video games.  I really like bitcoin, it is like an educational video game that pays you!

Yeah, bitcoin is the asset that im more excited about for the future in my portfolio, I cant wait to see how the whole thing unfolds. Even the oil future is pretty boring compared to it.

Had a recent foreclosure, in my previous life before Bitcoins.  One of my more humbling experiences.  Having a foreclosure is just like bankruptcy to creditors. Trying to find a new place to live, was initially denied at some apartments due for my foreclosure on my credit report, but I convinced one decent spot to give me a chance.  Was living paycheck to paycheck, sleeping on an air mattress.  

Now, I'm balling.   ;D

Certainly yes I can. The world is much better with BTC, but I could imagine life without it.
What would happen to this forum, would anyone still know to come here?

i agree with this, nothing will be changed without bitcoin.
bcos bitcoin itself not popular in my country. but its still good on the price.
but bitcoin in my life was help me get money in home, not outside work.

None of us heard of bitcoins before 5 or 6 years ago, I imagine most could do without it. Of course some have pinned their entire hope for the future on it, but for most of us, life would go on without it

I can't purchase online goods, I don't have a credit card yet.

Well to me, life without bitcoin is like lasagna without cheese  ;D it's simply unimaginable

Easy: we will be enslaved by the current financial institutions and banks. We are still constricted with the chains of using fiat money and being controlled by a central authority and their so-called "regulations." At least when we first have bitcoin, we experienced the liberty of spending and buying anonymously and with almost no hassles at all. We also experienced the fast and reliable transfer of value all over the world with only a click. Innovations and changes were made since bitcoin arrived, and some of the hardcore bitcoiners can't live without it, but in reality, still a major part of the global population are still used to being enslaved by the banks and the authorities.

Uhhm, since there is no bitcoin, then there would obviously be no bitcointalk. We wouldn't talk about bitcoin if there is no bitcoin in the first place, right?  :D  :D  :D

Yes, I would. I would be a little teen twat who'd waste his life gaming for nothing and staying in his study/room on YouTube for the rest of his life. Bitcoin has opened me up to more financial freedom. I've become a lot less dependent on my parents, I'm a good child now.

Would be the same  8)

World without Bitcoin ? Nothing happen. USD will be still Number 1

Nothing need to imagine. World will be like 4 years ago. Nothing changed

Yes, I agree with you. Nothing changed if world withou Bitcoin

Have voted for no, because I can't real imagine my life without bitcoin .... When I have discovered it I was really impressive and fascinated by its concept! I will never stop to use bitcoin and I really hope more and more people join the bitcoin world.

I can imagine life will continue as it is being enslaved by the existing banking system and forever be blinded, robbed of our financial freedom. At least right now with bitcoin we have options. The people have choice to choose from.

Bill Gates will be sad because Microsoft's revenue will decrease LOL !

I hadn't used BTC at all for 2 weeks, so nothing would change much? Who's using BTC everyday?

By the way, I haven't used a credit card for more than a month. This despite having been in 3 different countries, and flying twice. I couldn't live a single day without cash, but it's easy to live without doing any electronic payments.

I think there wont be anything happen if Bitcoin is not exist anymore

I am sure that my computer is better than now. It won't be working from day to day. Hihihi

Nope, not after I cashed out BTC from an old ATM when I was in another country the other day, it was amazing hanging out without a physical wallet geting the local currency throught the ATMs. This is the future and people don't even know it.

I was used to live without any computer, without mobile and without bitcoin. World was fine and great place to live, work and have a lot of fun. And now with bitcoin is the same. Bitcoin is here and until can help me to enjoy what I want to do it´s good. If not, then I have no doubt about life without bitcoin. Bitcoin is here for as not opposite.

Bitcoin is great for me but I am still working normally without Bitcoin

Bitcoin is very important for my life, I can get extra income from bitcoin. But to be honest I still can live without bitcoin.

I am hoping I never have to be without BTC, been using it for a long time now and its been great so far.

Indeed its being used by banks in some countries now which is amazing and a big proof that this is gonna be the future hopefully.

We are not exactly far ahead in this whole 'evolution' of bitcoin. Bitcoin is not global currency, it is not mainstream payment method for most people it is rather little new 'trick' or new technology for geeks.
We bitcoin users, who can feel already bitcoin potential could miss it, but majority of 'normal' people out there are not even aware of bitcoin existence. So no, for now bitcoin is not 'strong enough' to be missed.

Everyone has a purpose in life maybe their purpose is bitcoin technology or involvement?

Aside from a small part of the population that generate income solely based on bitcoin, without any alternative, everyone should be fine without Bitcoin right?

Life without electricity or internet...that would be a huge difference, but still fine for living.

No, I can't imagine my future without bitcoin because bitcoin is a future.

I'd have to find more hobbies to fill my time. Just keeping up on the latest news eats up a chunk of my day.

Even without bitcoin nothing will happens.
