Bitcoin Forum

Let's wonder a little. The year is 2057.

(By the way, Chris Pratt is the POTUS, sorry about that)

How do you imagine yourself with your bitcoins? How do you imagine the World you'll live in related to the cryptos?

Blockchain rules the world (from elections to the way your grandchildren interact with friends) and BTC is everywhere? Another crypto that does not even exist yet is now the king and both blockchain and BTC are seen as a museum piece, such as a steam locomotive?

in 1957, we don't have computer and TV flat screen.
so, 2057 is like to watch Alien Covenant ... trailer (synthetic human).

we travel to mars in 1 journey to hiking and play golf (Total Recall and Time Machine).
and we travel to others planets like Travellers or Interstellar.

but perhaps, we are like in Elysium ... ? Living in an artificial STAR over planet Earth ...

with bitcoin in 2057 .. you can surely build ship.

How about using blockchain to ensure in VR that you are really you and not an NPC?

I would imagine bitcoin's price value soar up to $500000 or 1 million and it would overcome it's current problems like how it did through all of this years.
Im sure the community will have an consensus and them decides to implement an scaling solution finally so we can all move forward to that future we all dreamed about. All those altcoins will perish for they are only good for short term.

In 2057: BitCoin is now owned by a very few people and hence is highly valuable. There are no circulating btc either, very scarcely we see a transaction happening with bitcoin, every is converted to the new king of crypto, which in the back end is centralized, but people are forced to use only that.
Bitcoin use is punishable by death in many states and countries.

You are describing the worst case scenario: The victory of Ripple!     ;D

Another 40 years!  I am quite sure we will either have a new crypto/digital currency or many layers built on the current bitcoin blockchain. I think I will only have 50:50 chance (or even much less!) of surviving until 2057...

That's what I'm thinking too since Bitcoin is limited and will not sustain the demand if used worldwide. Though Bitcoin will still last long.

This new King of Cryptocurrency which will replace Bitcoin in the future would surely be a lot better and be able to sustain the demands of its users worldwide. Also I expect for the transactions to improve greatly. But when that time comes I'm an old man then  ;D

Way to long 2057, but if things are any indication Bitcoins will rule the world, everything is going to be automated. Every thing will be done online, or like I imagine at the click of a button. And don't know if any war takes place then God knows how good or bad it will be for the world, but Bitcoin shall just keep on rising. So be it now or 2057 Bitcoin shall keep on rising and making us rich. By the way this should be in the speculation board though. But will we make it to 2057, that's also a big question, in the long run anything can happen, we are not promised about tomorrow!

this sounds more like the plot of a science fiction movie directed by Christopher Nolan! maybe we can get the 87 year old (by 2057 of course) Matt Damon to play the role of someone who is the "outlaw" and uses bitcoin irregardless of the punishment laws :D
we can call it "return to Elysium" as a sequel.

How about that: blockchain now is neural implanted. People make financial transactions, receive their wages, everything right in their minds. You buy a Coke, assuming you have enough funds in your mental wallet, just thinking about it.

I cannot imagine too far ahead in the future because I am not even sure if I am still alive by then. War could have broke and bitcoin or money does not matter anymore. Or bitcoin could be the  major currency and my grandchildren are lucky because I hoarded early. It does not matter, what matters is I use bitcoin today so I can live by the moment.

I will be dead so i wouldn`t care that much about bitcoin and how many bitcoins i have.
Bitcoin might be destroyed or there would be a better altcoin.
Perhaps people won`t even use money or cryptocurrencies.

Worst case scenario I guess. Cryptocurrencies are the future of money and may see some evolution.
In my opinion, the transfer of data in 2057 will be through or skin so we will not need any hardware to store and transfer cryptocurrencies. We will simply store them in our body.

The year is 2057:
Senator Barron Trump asks for donations in BTC since "the Dollars my Daddy left me are worthless."

Nice spoken :) yeah that would be a very nice movie with an old Matt Damon... Hopefully we can extend our lives in 2057 already would be great if you have still cryptocurrancys

Thats really funny. Its 2057 and i dont see trump a president of USA for 30 years.  ;)  I can only see Bitcoins every where and no sign of Trump and Even no more US Dollar and no paper money.

The year of 2057 will be a great year for bitcoin because i think that the countries already adopted bitcoin and a lot of malls and merchants in all around the world is related with bitcoin and they are also accepting payment thru bitcoin. The blockchain is the most main stream technology in 2057 and that is a year that worth to wait.

I do not think that blockchain is strong enough to survive to that point. Modern technology is growing very fast, it definitely needs a stronger technology, the blockchain is showing its weakness at the moment, so I think another technology will replace it. .

Barron Trump is the youngest son of Donald Trump. Of course Donald Trump won't be able to stay president for that long, but 40 years from now, Barron Trump will be like 50 years old, since his father is a president, so he is more likely to become a politician too. Barron is just a kid, let him live his life for now.

Back to the topic, Bitcoin need to survive for 40 years to reach 2057, a huge challenge, if somehow Bitcoin is still survive, I predict Bitcoin will be the world currency, everything about online money will be bitcoin, bitcoin there, bitcoin here.

That's exactly what I'm doubting. Money is an ancient tool. It is simple and useful, but we perhaps can get a better tool to coordinate the connection of work, needs and (scarce and non-scarce) resources.

I can see two different money-less scenarios:
- money is replaced by an artificially intelligence that continuously monitors resource usage, human work and the evolution of the needs of the individuals and incentives the people with some kind of non-monetary reward if they act for the good of the society. It will be a bit of a "Big brother" society, only that most humans will feel fine because they will have to work much less than now and most if not all needs are covered.
- we don't need money at all because everything is automated and human work isn't needed anymore.

Bitcoin wouldn't play a major role in both, although it could have been used before the establishment of such a system to fund it, or a blockchain-like system is used to monitor resource usage. Bitcoin could also end as some kind of play money, for people that are nostalgic with the 2010s (and maybe 2020s).

(Maybe 2057 is a bit early for these scenarios and I'm talking about 2097 or 2157 ;) )

I suppose that in 2057 that things that seem normal and ordinary now in our lifes will look like prehistorical and some people will remained about it with nostalgia and other with laugh. Just like we remained now how we watched movies on videocassette and kids even don't know what is it. The technology is developing very fast and Bitcoin and all it's technology will change. I can not even suppose what is going to be next in the future, but I think bitcoin-based technology will enter in every house in that year.

If you are in the mid 30's we enjoy playing betamax then it was replaced by the VHS then it was replaced by the CD player then it was replaced by the DVD player. Its funny how technology changes very fast and on 2057 mp3 and mp4 will be forgotten just like what happened to betamax. But I am certain that bitcoin will continue to prosper and by that time several countries have already adopted it and its value will be stabled.

BTC will be worth $1,000,000+ by then. It will have both the properties of gold and fiat thanks to second layer solutions. The idiots blocking segwit would have been weeded out a long time ago. Jihad Wu and Roger Ver will be in jail/broke due bad decisions along the way/scams. Bitmain will be bankrupt due AMD and Intel joining the mining game and deprecating their cheap chinese trash.

Countries like Switzerland will be tax havens for bitcoiners where they can pay 100% with BTC for everything. Of course cash will not exist by then.

BU vs segwit argument is still going but no one remembers why....

i would be so glad if still life on that year to see bitcoin reach the highest achievement with conquer the world and if this is happening which mean there will be no more paper money because all people starting use bitcoin as their daily activity

The world is growing, virtual currency is being used more widely, and in the future, it can become the world's common currency, it could be bitcoin, or it could be another which is vigorous and stronger.

Obviously, it would literally take over the world in terms of trading and buying.
Everything would be automated and tattoo wallets for our bitcoins would be used.
Where you'd just point it on a scanner and go get your groceries, etc.

But i really wouldn't care that much coz by then, id probably be dead.

Hmm interesting thoughts - i'll donate one of mine. Crypto-currencies are the only method of payment widely accepted, all else comes secondary and is frowned upon. Keep in mind a lot has to happen before this... unfortunately some people still think the government and big brother only have the public's best interest in mind... the fools we live with *shaking head*

it'll be a global war by then without a single settlement that isn't reduced to rubble.

i'll probably be long dead by then so i'll avoid the draft.

i think its safe to say there will be at least a few major paradigm shifts (maybe robotics, AI) and things none of us can predict or possibly even imagine now.

I think by 2057, cryptocurrencies will be dominant.  State issues currencies will still be around but much much weaker.

It's very possible. I often like to say however that blockchain will succeed - but Bitcoin will fail. The media have painted such a nasty image of Bitcoin, and the public are too stupid to see past it.

have you not checked bitcoin's media coverage recently? the pathetic hatchet jobs are pretty much a thing of the past. the longer it sticks around the more legit it becomes. it's starting to be taken seriously. people know it ain't going anywhere.

I agree. the PTB have accepted crypto as inevitable.  They only want to control and own it now :)

I can already see it... every country has their own GovCoin and Bitcoin are the coin that brings it all together. The other GovCoins are forced

onto citizens by their governments, but the people from other planets all use bitcoins as a interstellar payment method. The Blockchain is the

most decentralized network in this galaxy ...not this planet.  :D
