Bitcoin Forum

I think many of us, have a huge problem with the volatility of the BTC. And also the technology behind the BTC is outdated. There are huge amount of the other new generation cryptocurrencies that are more secure and adopted to special needs of different economic and consum needs. I have a big problem with BTC because of the high volatility. So i found Minexcoin, that according to the whitepaper might be more stable and less volatile.

It depends on how you handle the volatility, for the one that invest in bitcoin the volatility seems so annoying, but for the trader volatility is good because it can make the traders earn money, and I know that there are a lot of new coin that got better feature than bitcoin but the investor is more believe in bitcoin and bitcoin has been adopted in many country, so in order to replace bitcoin you need a lot of users and that coin need to be implemented in different sectors in all countries

But it is important that those who do not want to use bitcoin to speculate, but to carry out their ordinary transactions as exchange of goods or simply as a store of value, also rely on bitcoin and for this, less volatility is necessary.

If we are only thinking about bitcoin as an interesting option for traders to make money, perhaps this high volatility will remain for long, making the use of bitcoin difficult to incorporate into real economy, and this would prevent it from being massively accepted, becoming a simple pump and dump business in the long run.

Minexcoin still on ico and have to going through a long way to compare with bitcoin, for now its nothing and still behind the start line.
Bitcoin volatility is a double edge sword because it could increase quickly and drop back again, as long as the market cap isn't big enough to prevent any further changes in the market. And it still early for bitcoin and won't be outdated due to it always upgraded even though the process seems complicated for now.

You can invest in Minexcoin, you can dump your Bitcoin and buy a lot of Minexcoin. The thing about these altcoins is that, even if they are stable and less volatile, then there will be no profit for a short time unlike bitcoin. People like fast and quick profit because they don't want to wait. If you have a problem with Bitcoin, you can just sell your bitcoin man, don't need to tell another altcoin.

Yeah the old technology of bitcoins is a problem but im pretty sure that even though they use and old generation of technology in creatingbitcoins it doesnt mean that they can adopt into technical changes and upgrades from this generations

Some of the altcoin has stable price but look at it's value some altcoin has only has the maximum amount of 100$ despite being a centralized crypto currency they're still in the $100 barrier, bitcoin rather far surpasses them all compared to price value of $2477.
Also i think bitcoin has graduated from volatility because it can pump and maintain it's price compared in the years that the price will get easily dump in a few weeks after it's bullrun this shows that bitcoin has matured from volatility with the number of supports it's getting especially when institutional investors as decided to invest in it and millions of local businesses are using it as a payment method.

I don't think people will move away from bitcoins, ever. Bitcoins are very solid, even if it is old tech. Other coins might be innovative and all, but no one will move everything into them. Bitcoin is like gold and all else are other precious stones. That's my take on it. Even if I know that bitcoins are the least innovative, but I think it is still the best one.

If you are into trading you should enjoy the high volatility of bitcoin because you could make a quick buck without much sweat and if your entry point is perfect then you do not need to worry about it and what makes you think that bitcoin is not secure and the coin you mentioned is still in its initial phase and it could be less volatile only because no one is interested in the coin,how can you guarantee that the coin will be less volatile,do you think it can be controlled. :P

YES.  This is why crypto currently blows tank as straight up money.  You're incentivized not to spend it while the price is shooting to the moon.

I disagree that "the technology is outdated".  It is not.  It works just fine for people who want to hold it or spend it semi-anonymously.  Yes it's true that other coins offer more anonymity and such, but for the average d00d it's great.  And the market *ahem* seems to agree with that statement.

Well thankfully and for that purpose  bitcoin is open source and everyone can contribute to it but bitcoin is far more known in society then any other coin, therefore people will be always sticking to it. Well yes, you've found it and how long are you in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency story all together? Do you think someone who heard about cryptocurrency yesterday will know about some or even any of alt-coins? The first thing he'll see will be bitcoin and he's familliar with that. So yeah, that's one of the strongest aspects bitcoin has today.

I don't think OP is concerned about the future of bitcoin. His statement seems to be that he is interested in promoting a particular altcoin. In my personal view bitcoin has got decreased volatility than many other altcoins that are in use and growing good. It's been​ said that coins based on unique requirements have come into existence which could destroy bitcoin. This is not fair bitcoin is used all around, so what people will choose. One that has got multiple access or the one which has got limited accessibility.

How can you compare something old with something different that not yet happen. Minexcoin is not release yet, how do you know it's gonna be better than bitcoin?
I know minexcoin, I was read the Ann thread and the whitepaper, and I think the idea to make a stable coin is good enough to solve the volatility problem.
For now, we have to be wise to face the volatility price. Being a long time holder won't make you scare with the volatility.

Another crypto will never replace the bitcoin, but you will see another upgrade for the technical problem of bitcoin in the future. I mean  you will see segwit and 2mb forks in the future through the scaling agreement.

We don't know how future will react to new technology. But bitcoins are the one started this creative technology, and they also can improve in the future and solve some of the existing issues. But if any other coin solves all the current problems with the bitcoins then they may overtake bitcoins but bitcoins will be there for long, and I think it will not disappear from the cryptocurrencies.

Simplify the problem, imagine in the Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin in the US dollars, Altcoin in the other currencies, all Altcoins transactions are converted to Bitcoin values like in Forex the majority of currencies are converted into value USD. So how can Bitcoin lose its importance, only if all Bitcoin users lose faith in it, that just happens! Currently Bitcoin just needs to overcome a minor problem in Blockchain, optimizing the time transaction confirm and transaction fee, then Bitcoin will be completely the king of Cryptocurrencies, without having to rely on an Altcoins instead!

While it is always a good thing to have Bitcoin positioned permanently as the top crypto, there is never harm in having a few other around that can be used. Ethereum's smart contract system is good, as a contract system, but it is less effective as a bigger crypto like Bitcoin, especially when you start to compare the complexities of both.
Transaction time can't really be optimized anymore due to the block target time, but I get the idea.

Future of bitcoins anonimity of new cryptocurrencies yes that's why there are so many altcoins that coming out as of today, bitcoins will just increase it's value.  future of bitcoins can hit its very high value. it can hit the 5000$ value of it. high security can't just breach cause it is decentralized.
But we don't know sure about the future of it because no one know who is the biggest holder of it around the world.

If we talk about the anonymity of the bitcoins of users, it seems to me that with such an active rise in the bitcoin prices, they will be interested in the authorities more and more. And it's all about taxes.

I am not sure if I am the only one who thinks that the answer is none of the above. Yes, bitcoin is volatile but I am sure that it will keep growing at a sustainable rate for next few years until new people are coming and joining bitcoin. I don't see any altcoin yet in the market with the potential to replace bitcoin due to more than one reason so as far as the future of Bitcoin is concerned, I think we are going in the right direction.

The technology behind BTC is not outdated. It is the most advanced and the most secure out there. Just because BTC doesnt have the features other cryptocurrencies have doesnt mean its outdated. But what could something like Ethereum do better than Bitcoin? Smart contracts with no real world use, ICO scamming?

none of what you said is true, in some case is the opposite

first bitcoin is not outdated compared to other cyrpto, and the code can always be upgraded you know

second other coin have no better security, they are copy paste of bitcoin, based all on the blockchain, some of them may have quantum resistance due to how the hash function work thye use 512 bitc for example, like nexus

third they are far more unstable than bitcoin, and will never be suited for shopping anything, they are not accepted for this reason

anonimity again this is not that good as you think, with anonimity the receiver can not prove if the sender send the money if he want to cheat there is no track, nothing

The fact that I want very much to hope for the future bitcoin, but if you pay attention to the rate of price growth for today, it seems to me that this future is very good. Despite the fact that Bitcoin has a cleansing potential, yet people are very much mistaken in that it will be used as real money.

Recently after the hack attempt by some hackers who demanded bitcoins as a ransom spread this name " bitcoins " across the world and now the community has really grown big. I can't see any problem in bitcoins apart from the block size issue which has been talked so much. Seriously guys, think technically if you have some asset and the amount of asset keeps decreasing day by day won't the USD value increase ?

South Korea and Japan are now approved bitcoin, thereby affecting the price of the bitcoin and now hit more than $2500, I'm sure the future of bitcoin will continue to be good and the more countries that accept bitcoin.

No bitcoins might never be used as a currency, I would also agree to that. Simply because of the anonymous and untraceable nature of bitcoins the government would never adopt it given the fact they can't even charge taxes from their people. Though the future of bitcoins is bright since when most people thought the bitcoins are dead that time the price took the biggest hike and now sits above 2000 usd !

It won't get replaced bro
There is no reason for it.

So much money. So much network. Why would it be?
Sure it faces huge problems right now... But those problems are mainly linked to the number of people using it!
The moment 10% of people stop using it the problems will simply disappear.

Wow thats good news to everyone if south korea and japan accept and approved vitcoin the price for sure in this week posssible to reach $3000 the price as of now its $2500 plus and I believe it will increase more.  And the country of Austrailia also approved bitcoin in july . And I hope many country in the next month follow and accpet bitcoin so the price increase higher and higher. So buy bitcoin now and enjoy the result next week . Hold your bitcoin guyz dont sell it .

Bitcoin has first mover advantage. It has reached a market cap of $41 billion. No other cryptocurrency is anywhere near the half of that. Bitcoin is here to stay. It is the first choice for everyone who starts with virtual currencies. Bitcoin introduce people with other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is not going anywhere.

Well, as the first digital currency, what do we expect right? Bitcoin is released 8 years from now and it's been popular since then. Many people questioned what bitcoin can do, and how long will it last, well, it's been alive for years, many haters said that it will die, many times from now, but it is still going, not just going, but being a successful digital currency.

Of course if you look at facts that occur in bitcoin, most likely bitcoin will continue to grow rapidly from year to year to reach highest level and become a digital currency that has the legality and become a global currency that can be used In many countries, this is certainly supported by some Facts that support popularity of bitcoin both growing bitcoin user development as well as support from various parties who participated with investment in Bitcoin.

to me i think that there is no doubt  about the future of bitcoin which is look like more bright. i am sure that very soon  bitcoin  is going to be the number one currency of the world and very soon people will be using bitcoin as their first choice.

From my perspective, since day by day bitcoin is going to be more popular and powerful that is why bitcoin has a prospective future. Many countries along with many people are getting engaged in this platform, in recent years it has garnered huge value so people are being influenced. Hopefully, this spirit will go on....

While I do not see any prospects for bitcoin. Let's be honest, what is needed now bitcoin. People buy it for investment and all. All this resembles a pyramid, which is sure to burst. As soon as the market will become saturated and growth of bitcoin prices will stop, the pyramid will collapse.

The truth is, I strongly believe in the future of Bitcoin and if I honestly say that I simply have no way of thinking differently and all this because I want to start a new life with Bitcoin and I need to be sure that Bitcoin has a very good future and that Its price will not only be $ 2,000 or $ 3,000, but much more.

A lot of countries are tried to consider bitcoin as a potential commodity in the future. Jpan, UK, Russia and the more countries will come in the future to accept bitcoin as the legal investment on their environment and give bitcoin another hype.

Is this sort of advertisement or what? If only whitepaper is the based of all future development then there are lots of project that even more better that the one you stated. Bitcoin price volatility is already present in bitcoin since the beginning so I see it's not a huge problem. Look at how it was today even with that kind of thing years since it was present to the public. Also with price behaviour like that, no doubt that the usage of bitcoin as a currency is growing day by day.

You can't see so much of problem now with other cryptos because compare to number of people owning it, it can't even closed to the number of bitcoin users and transaction being made every seconds.

Volatility shouldn't matter to you if you just buy yourself some coins that you will hold for a couple of years. Look at how much volatility we have had throughout the years, and look at how much impact it had on the price -- no impact at all. Technologically speaking, Bitcoin needs larger blocks, but this will happen, likely this year. And no, altcoins aren't more secure and more adopted, please don't spread nonsense.... Good luck with your s...coin.

Well bitcoin's volatility has brought a lot of profits to a lot of people. I don't know in what particular way has it brought trouble to you since this characteristic is an advantage as long as you know how to play with it and the price of Bitcoin is getting higher and stabilize a little in $2000 then will pump again and stabilize in a higher price so you can see that instead of losing some money, it grows if you let it stay.

I voted for high volatility of BTC.
I believe bitcoin will remain as high valued yet high volatile mode of payment system. There will be mixed people who will be loving bitcoins for using as an alternate to their fiats whereas many other people will love trading it. All the above we can be sure bitcoin will have values in high end like $10k or in millions too.

We can be sure bitcoin will stay with us for sure. Those scalability issue nor government regulations will get resolved over time for sure then probably we do not have any stopping which are to block the bright future of bitcoins.

I find it weird that most of the votes on the pole are for the security of Bitcoin. I definitely wouldn't think that the main reason for people not investing into was the security. News flash for me I guess.

That volatility you're talking about just pose as a good opportunity for people to maximize their earnings. Some wouls argue as well that this is one of the factors that make btc popular and successful at this time. You just have to find ways of how to positively react to that volatility to earn more.

Volatility is one of the main feature of bitcoin due to which traders gain profits by trading.You are comparing bitcoin with altcoins .Bitcoin is unmatchable.It would be a joke to hear that altcoin has less volatility compared to bitcoin.Bitcoin investment is secured and its an ever growing investment.

that is very right, although we invest money in altcoin for getting some profit but our investment there is for the time being,  while for the most of the time  do investment in bitcoin. as we consider ourselves more secure there trading bitcoin. currently i  have invested money in bitcoin and holding it for the some more time, because i am sure that bitcoin will give me a good profit after because the price of bitcoin is continuously increasing ,

So if you are in cryptocurrency world, you need to know volatility is the essance of cryptocurrency. If we are seeing so much people getting attract towards btc and other alts are only because unexpected rise is coins every day.
And as far as btc is concerned, I don't feel there is any coin worth till now which could beat it. Stability is not any cause of distress for bitcoin ecosystem.

For the last month we see activity in the Bitcoin market and this brings double satisfaction, because my Bitcoin is growing in price several times. And despite some hesitation, the Bitcoin comma goes down but immediately goes up and reaches a new level. I would not be surprised when in the summer we will leave 3000 dollars for Bitcoin.

Yes, the BTC is rised very well in the last period of the time, but in the same time its lost its potential to rise stronger. I think the people will look for another opportunites to replay the story of the BTC. I think the cheap coins are better for traders, because the potentila levarage of the cheap coin is more bigger, but if you look for the opportnity to invest in some stable, not that volatile coin the Minexcoin or other cheap new generation cryptocurrencies is more atractive.

You are right, in the moment all altcoins will be converted into BTC, but we observe the tendency, that on the poloniex or other marketplaces the tendency is, that also other cryptocurences can be traded directly into Etherium or Monero. That tendency will also arrive forex-broker soon. The Minexcoin offers a priori the opportnity (accordng to the white paper, we will see, how the devs can realise that) to attract another investors, who prefer to invest for a longer time.

Bitcoin is a very stronger and secure technology and it has a stronger base and I do not think that people do not like its fluctuations because with these fluctuations the traders are earning a very high amount of money and they are very lucky to find it as their asset. I also like it more for my trade.

There were coins which were stable for extended period of time.

Take a look at Litecoin for example, it kept the same value during 2016 always around $3-$4, there were not spikes, no pumps and dumps at all.

Volatility is only so strong, because we are in the early stage of using cryptocurrency, a lot speculation is happening, when whole system will mature volatility will be lowered.

Yes, I agree with you, bitcoin is really too strong, Mostly these days. The price of 1 bitcoin now is more than 2500$ which it's amazing. Of course bitcoin have a bright future. It will increase over the years and become more stronger than now, I believe in it.

By looking at the development of crypto as it is today so many other crypto racing to compete with bitcoin so from that especially the entrepreneurs who focus on this crypto currency they will better maximize the security of crypto is better than existing as now, Scientists continue to create a special security system to make crypto that they create will be safer than bitcoin so many investors are interested in the crypto and the coin can be more expensive than bitcoin.

I vote for anonymity of the new cryptocurrency what i mean is bitcoin isn't gonna be replaced by this kind of coin but in another way like as an real alternative or a complement for the bitcoin since it it can't be replaced, we all know that bitcoin basically is pseudonymouse whic is need some more steps to protect our anonymity that's why people will use anonimity coin. About high volatility i think that's not a huge problem for the community since it's good for speculate. In my opinion possibility for the crypto can replace bitcoin is fastest and cheapest coins, as an payment method we need something cheap and fast.

regardimg the latest news from uk and the future of bitcoin will be bright in the fuutre. More countries are tried to adopt bitcoin as legal payment which makes the main stream payment for bticoin itself. It's really good for bitcoin in the fuutre.

The future of bitcoin I see for now is very good.

It's possible the bitcoin could reach 4000 $.

So i invest bitcoin for my future

Like what I said, bitcoins are the gold of cryptocurrency. People will tend to move back into gold when everything does fall. Just to illustrate, all fiat currency is backed up by gold in the gold room of their respective country or state. That is the basics of currency. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, are not backed up by anything, however we all base it on bitcoins which is somehow similar to fiat currency.

If bitcoin doesn't improve itself the ''outdated technology of BTC'' will be the reason of bitcoin defeat. We have at our side the reputation of bitcoin, but technology is very important too and on the internet it's even more important.
Everything here is constantly being upgraded to make the interest of persons continue always, with bitcoin it can't be different.

All crypto currency not only bitcoin do really have volatile prices which we cant able to see a coin which do have a stable price and it seems you are just promoting minexcoin in my own view and theres nothing to do with that coin and im sure its just would be the same on other coins too for sure.
Even though bitcoin is little bit outdated compared on other new coins but still there are users who do love to use it and stores it.

Agree, and I see the current issue to be resolved is to reduce the transaction confirmation time without a need to include high fees with the transaction. There are many businesses out there who are willing to go with bitcoin for their funds' transfer process but since the price is volatile and the transaction fees are getting costly, they are going in wait and watch mode. I am sure Bitcoin will hit $5K if we could somehow find a viable concrete solution for this issue.

Only should a better technology ensue that Bitcoin can be replaced by another cryptocurrency. It's the pioneer cryptocurrency and Kk the others are copying from it so the only way to render it outdated is to present w new coin with a better technology than the current blockchain.

Bitcoin is a very good life for trade and investment. Only thanks to this crypto currency I can rise in my financial condition. I think that the future of Bitcoin also depends on the Bitcoin users themselves. I just want to raise the price for each of the Bitcoin community.

Bitcoin is volatile, i'll have to give you that.

however usually this volatility is in the right direction - up. You can tell from the charts that bitcoin is the best investment anyone could have made very easily from 10 years ago till now, achieving crazy returns that i can't even put up in numbers.

Why is the SWIFT network still in place? It's outdated. But it's got the usage of millions of banks around the world, and it's got trust. Same goes to btc. No other altcoin has the trust and status of btc.

OP is just trying to advertise for another ICO that is completely worthless. Seriously OP? You really think that altcoins are going to take over bitcoin? And what makes you think that your particular altcoin "Minexcoin" is going to be the one altcoin taking over the #1 spot in the crypto world?

Bitcoin is the FIRST cryptocurrency. You can have better technology. You can have smart contracts. You can have colored coins. No matter what it is, people know that bitcoin is the FIRST cryptocurrency. And being the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin already established its reputation. Ask people whether they know about bitcoin, maybe 5, 6% of the population of the US will know. Ask them about the 2nd crypto, ethereum. Probably only 0.01% knows.

Agreed! The newer phase of bitcoin users whom bitcoin was unknown till 2016 have joined the possession. As a result of which bitcoin market is now over and above the nominal rise (rise in prices of bitcoin due to speculative activities) to an era of actual rise (rise due to increased users and flow). Thus enabling bitcoin to spread wider in nations and inducing government to regulate and legalize the use of bitcoin.
These all factors ultimately contribute to rise in price.

Please, can you do us the favour of listing those coins as indicated in bold. Your rank says "Legendary" I can trust your judgement.

---

Besides, volatility may be annoying for buys but not those who trade the Bitcoin because traders need that unsteady movement to make gains. Either bearish or bullish.

I know there is nothing lasting in this world, bitcoin too, people used to use gold as a medium of exchange, then replaced with paper money, then credit cards appear, all will be replaced in time. But I think bitcoin will last for another decades, just like gold is still valuable, I think bitcoin will still be valuable

If btc were to be replaced in the future, it is because btc is an outdated technology in cryptocurrency in the future. Unlike you OP who does not like high volatility of btc, It ain't that big of a problem for me because I see those price movements as a chance to earn money quick and I don't think minexcoin would be better than bitcoin, I think minexcoin is yet another altcoin that might end up to be a shitcoin in the end. If scaling issue is solved the right way, there is a possiblity that in the future, btc will have better security.

When something is developed without any flaws then the productiveness won't get any improvement further. Same is gonna happen with the minexcoin. Bitcoin is not the same, more the challenges faced more it gets updated with the technology. Nothing seems to decline the value of bitcoin, because no where people have stopped using bitcoin. Only the adoption is getting increased without any discrimination in the country limits. Hope soon African countries will serve as a big market for cryptocurrencies.

Of course with the rapid development of btc now with the popularity and the price is so high, I have confidence about the security of bitcoin would certainly be more stringent.

There is nothing wrong with bitcoin, it remains a pioneer and the coin with the most value at the moment. The votality is part of the attraction and unless you are a losing trader, it shouldn't be a big deal. Sure the technology could improve. You should change the thread title to the future of "Minexcoin"

Volatility is an important feature of bitcoin.Traders use that volatility and gain profits by trading.Altcoins have more volatility than bitcoins.If you are to invest in altcoin instead of bitcoin due to volatility,then it would be a wrong decision.

People still have very little trust in bitcoin, and Aldona especially. I don't know what future awaits the crypto currency. And I think that now nobody knows. What will happen once the state will begin to convert their Fiat money into crypto. Competition in this market is just beginning and the future is not determined.

This will be an HOT summer, so i voted for high volatility of BTC. And we will see this especially on August, but high volatility will remain till the end of the year. After the storm, I guess BTC will be stronger!

Yeah you're correct. The problem of the bitcoin is the votality and the outdated technology. So there is a chance that many token will rise and can stand like a bitcoin. There are many tokens and coins that have a good quality.

Well mainly the issue with bitcoin is its outdated technology as you said, well its not per say too old, but newer cryptos are better in the technological aspects. One of the biggest problems that restrict bitcoin is the block size, and we very well have debated about it a lot. Now for volatility, well it can be considered an issue but really I don't think its much of a big deal, bitcoin has always been volatile.

Volatility is the name of the game of cryptocurrency. I have no idea that you knew back when dollar was still backed by gold it was extremely volatile too.
Only centrally controlled fiat can be steered to be less volatile.

BTC can be upgraded, and it will be scaled in August. Cryptocurrency is not only tech behind it - it is whole economic concept, the most important is initial distribution of tokens.
If any other coin would be so popular as BTC currently is, there will be problem with that coin too. For example recent ETH bottleneck problem.

As long as people use bitcoin and some serious flaw and exploit is found in the software i do not think it will be outdated just like that and after a long time we are seeing the golden period of bitcoin where the price is soaring at impossible valuation which i could not imagine a couple of years back.

I believe bitcoin has a good future. In my vision bitcoin will be one of our country's money currency that one day bitcoin will be accepted as a money in change of the commercialized products that we have herein the Philippines. Because nowadays there are some stores that are accepting bitcoin as money.

in fact the step has already been taken by the japan and the other have to follow them. i am sure that very soon the number of then countries who have accepted bitcoin will increase from time to time. as japan has made the route clear for other countries and very soon the other countries will also take the step and will consider bitcoin as legal currency. i am hopeful that my country will also be one of these countries who will accept bitcoin.

I also believe in a bright future for bitcoin. If we all believe I believe it will be true, many countries are beginning to legalize bitcoin, maybe still japan and russia, a few more years may be much to legalize bitcoin

There is no doubt that the future of bitcoins is bright and promising as many countries have started to take notice of it and in future we can expect almost all countries will start using and accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment.

While countries will take bitcoin, then it will have prospects, and then when its course stabilizes, then it will probably go a significant decline.

There are so many possibilities that it makes me really wonder about what is going to happen in next 10-20 years in cryptocurrency world, for example we may see some extremely strange events when quantuum computers will be sold comercially, because for now they are only in possesion of governments.

In my opinion, we are actually not going to use bitcoin in 2040. Take a look what happened since 2000 to nowadays- 2017. There were so many new inventions, technology, projects and great new companies that it is almost unbelievable how fast do we develop ourselves. Imagine what might happen through next 20 years!

Bitcoin core will be simply too old, the technology is already old-fashioned if we compare it to some other, new altcoins. We have problems with fee size and confirmation time, but  changing to other crypto would make it fixed instantly, thanks to the system! that what makes me think that bitcoin is going to die in about 20 years from now.

Bitcoin has a good future, because many countries are considering its adoption. Other crypto-currencies are not so strong and have no great prospects.

Bitcoin will be recognized, i dont know what Japan has called bitcoin if a currencie or an asset, similiar to gold, but a digital one, anyway this will be followed by others countries on the next years for sure. The volatility of bitcoin has and still atracting a lot new investors that wanna to make and earn money doing trading, the most of them are just into bitcoin and doesnt care about altcoins at all.

Every cryptocurrency is volatile of course, what make it different if bitcoin have been using for trade and store of value and other coins still not achieve that, just a new one or have less adopters. Bitcoin could be used in daily transaction if devs team solve scale problem (if they think it could be). For now, bitcoin still volatile untill it reach bigger market cap which not many people could easily pump and dump bitcoin.

It's true, Bitcoin volatility only helps the currency to continue rising more and more and to be adopted by more people and countries. I believe there are two kind of investors: Those who care about Crypto-Currency at all and love all the aspects of the this invention, and those who wants to have only profit from the best and well known Crypto-Currency, Bitcoin. This second group doesn't spend much time searching on the internet about Crypto-Currency, they just want to buy Bitcoins and hold it, so they don't care about Altcoins at all, as you said.

we are living in the cyber and technological world and it is a good reason to believe that bitcoin among with other cryptocurrencies will continue to survive for at least a century. However, gold is not yet be replaced. Do not make a mistake like that. People are still using gold to buy house and other things

I don't think so any other cryptocurrency can replace bitcoins. I am not denying the fact that BTC technology is outdated/old and it is high volatile, but the popularity and users of bitcoins are increasing day by day and so its price. Price and easy payment methods are attracting people around the globe,  any other cryptocurrency is not able to compete bitcoins.

Japan has called the bitcoin as legal currency and payment method. And japan not consider bitcoin as commodity similar with the gold itself. bitcoin has different purpose with the gold. Some countries aimed to accepted bitcoin to be the legal currency or make a regulation for crypto.

I think it will continue to be attractive and will be used by more people, maybe one time a certain teritory will accept bitcoin only and a country's foreign exchange reserves at a store in the form of the bitcoin.

i think its not because the problem with btc itself which is high volatility. i think if the dev and the team behind btc still maintain then i am sure the problem of btc will be solve. maybe in the future, until the bitcoin price can not reach for people to buy, bitcoin will be like a primary of the crypto currency and the other coins will be used and trade with bitcoin only and then we can trade bitcoin with fiat.

outdated technology of BTC
>> Depends on the developers if they will continue to improve it or decide to call it off since they have the power to make it better and go with the trend of the latest technology.

better security of new cryptocurrencies
>> Bitcoin wallets really are the one responsible for securing your Bitcoin which ranges from different types with different things to offer from security to conveniency and from short-term to long-term. Also there are mixers which will make your transactions untraceable.

anonimity of new cryptocurrencies
>> Though there are some wallets who asks for your personal information especially local exchanges that is because of the regulation released by their respective governments, there are still wallets that provides full anonymity and doesn't ask personal information like Mycelium and many more to name.

high volatility of BTC
>> It depends on how you handle the volatility and you can earn a lot of profit from it. And Bitcoin's price floor is increasing each pump together with the rising demand which generally means the value of your Bitcoins are increasing. Don't you like that?

More of the alt coins are telling the same characteristics that they will be more stable and better than bitcoin. But all of them seems to be fine and I don't know if what I read is true that bitcoin is now adopting other good characteristics of other alt coins. Bitcoin isn't perfect and there is no perfect system so it will be a continuous progress.

Basically it is indeed that bitcoin is a digital currency is remarkable, because it is now increasingly price bitcoin shows some remarkable Ascension baisa. But it does need to be in the know, that the main problem is bitcoin fee or transaction fee which is always high in order to get a confirmation. So right now I think the bitcoin will much more beneficial if used as a currency investment. for views from various investment thing is the best thing. Just waiting alone all countries provide the solution to this problem
 

yes there is no doubt that bitcoin will continue its progress and will attract more and more users toward itself. the popularity of bitcoin is increasing from time to time. new people are entering in the world of bitcoin and making it more stronger and reliable. Even the day traders are now taking interest in bitcoin. I am hopeful that very soon we will see that the local shopkeepers will also start taking interest in bitcoin and will start accepting bitcoin for shopping in their shops.

There is many people using Bitcoin to purchase things now so I think that Bitcoin has a large chance for it to get used as a payment option in most stores around the world. Since people are using to purchase things like Government paper work then the Government is likely to get involved in it as well.

I don't see what other cryptocurrency that can offer the stability bitcoin is offering. Unless you are talking about some sort of pegged currency which defies the entire point of crypto in the first place - to be unassociated with a central entity and fiat currency in general. Ethereum is more volatile than bitcoin. Even though there are a lot of blockchains out there that are far more advanced than bitcoin, there is no real use for them.

 All we need is something we can transact on, and as the first crypto bitcoin will always be the go to choice. In the future this will remain true.

That's not true. Altcoins/ICO have their own platoform. In this case altcoins are less stable than bitcoin. I don't think that we are struggling in bitcoin's stability since this previous weeks, we have seen how stable it is which cause altcoins to be stable a littble bit too.

Probably in some other countries, bitcoin has been used as a means of official payment transactions,availability of stores and bitcoin services that accept transactions both offline and online, unlike where I can only do some purchases via online and that too Not many online stores that accept transactions Bitcoin current. However, if viewed from its potential bitcoin may be a virtual currency that is legal and can be used as an official transaction tool.

I actually don't have a problem with the volatility of bitcoin at all. In fact a lot of people prefer bitcoin to be volatile because that's what they make their living on - trading the difference of prices between two time points. It's also good in my opinion that bitcoin is constantly fluctuating like an asset is supposed to do - and generally it fluctuates upwards. There is really nothing to complain about. The code might be outdated but bitcoin has the trust of the community. This is something that altcoins cannot achieve.

I hope the future of bitcoin is even better.
When we make a withdrawal money does not wait long again.
And expect a quick transaction like withdrawal at the bank.
😀😀😀

All issues of transaction delays are still a problem that hasn't got a good solution yet, but the segmented development step will allow for future transactions, I also hope that just like you, no one wants a setback from this virtual currency

I think the future of bitcoin is about saving money, like gold. Secure asset to hide your finance of inflation etc.

There a  lot actually. Some recognize btc as a means of exchange and other countries also  want to make there  own altcoin. But seeing the price some also would want to partake in that ordeal. Btc holds a high stake for the business world. Probably in time there are many ads about altcoins not just btc. Blockchain would then be earning through various transaction and probably other chains would be recognized around the world.

Maybe, and if some day BTC  becomes to be outdated technology that should not affect too much, unless the transactions took months to be completed which would be apart from uncomfortable boring, but who knows why the opposite might happen too, the fact that it is immutable in supply it does not mean that it will not undergo adjustments in other aspects that might be required in the future to compete with its rivals for calling them in some way, in that case could even become better than gold or lose most of its value in the worst case.

I think so too. Bitcoin is already considered to be a great way to store ones wealth for many and this trend in my opinion is going to only increase more in the future.

Fiats can collapse anytime in the foreseeable future and when this happens, bitcoin will play it's role as a global currency with a decentralized transaction validation network. It's truly awesome if you think about it.

I seriously wouldn't worry too much about fluctuations now because bitcoin is still young. Anything with a 40 billion market cap which is smaller than a lot of medium to large sized companies is going to fluctuate a lot. But as we get more people onboard and using bitcoin this volatility will drop.

It will be one use of bitcoin in  the future. Because of its characteristic to make the value of bitcoin higher, it will make people convert their total funds to bitcoin just to avoid decrease of value in their total wealth. Bitcoin will be a mediun of currency mostly in online stores.

Bitcoin will became more popular as time pass by so given that the bitcoin will be adopted in some or all countries that will make bitcoin price will go up so in that case bitcoin will be the medium of market trade in the real world. But I think the adoption of the bitcoin will take more time.

The true value of bitcoin right now is that more and more people are buying into it. And would rather hold onto crypto that's more likely to gain than fiat. I still trust paper though and think somehow goverments will collude to crash the market. Not sure when: could be 10 years from now, but it's bound to happen as btc ensures people fly under the radar and can avoid taxes. Possible at the moment but with the adoption rate that could really mess with the system 3 - 5 years down the line.

I think Bitcoin should have a bright future ahead of it. If it continues to grow on the same rate as it is growing, it will be having value of 4000$ or more by end of this year. Volatility of Bitcoin would not matter if you are thinking of investing for a long time.

Sorry I can't vote because I think no new cryptocurrency will ever replace Bitcoin. Also I think that high volatility is inherent to any cryptocurrency, and even if you have a "stable" one right now because almost no one buys it, trust me it will become highly volatile as soon as it appears in the Top 100 on Coinmarketcap.

It seems to me that ETH in a few years will become a competitor to bitcoin. Now its price has gone up and it's popular. In addition, it has advantages - fast transactions and commission. Maybe this substitution bitcoin

yes no doubt about that, bitcoin has really a very bright future, in fact  more people are now knowing about bitcoin, they want to invest their assets in bitcoin, the popularity of bitcoin s increasing too much and which is making bitcoin too much strong. which is really making the future of bitcoin more bright.

Thats right I think also bitcoin have bright future because everyear many people invest to the bitcoin so the pricr increase also everyear and bitcoin become more popular to everyear country. I think the highest price of bitcoin before the end of this year maybe $5000 and I hope it will happen. But no one knows what the prive of bitcoin in this yeat 2017.

the users of bitcoin are already present through the world. but still most of the people have not yet consider bitcoin as legal currency.  but  i am sure that very soon some other countries are also using bitcoin

You may have in that things, actually because of the volatility of bitcoin many of the community are getting benefits on it and to others not.
But I really do believe that bitcoin will really become the world currency sooner or later.

Minexcoin has been tested for its success rate and safety level as well as BTC. If not, what is the reason to switch from BTC ..

No doubt Ethereum is a good coin with great potential and probably people who spend most of their time in the world of cryptos will be using ETH more than BTC in the future. But those people comprise a very small part of the world population. Even Bitcoin users are in great minority, let alone users of other cryptos.

The best thing that bitcoin has is it's price and the first and original digital currency. Minexcoin might be a success but the thing is, it is still an altcoin, an alternative for bitcoin. Bitcoin is just hard to improve because a lot if users are using it, making it hard to make decisions.

Every day there are many cryptocurrencies, which are better than bitcoin for some characteristics. But they do not become competitors of bitcoin. He has already taken a place among the Cryptocurrency.

Although many altcoins have good potential and have good advantages in their characteristics and safety, bitcoin remains most popular digital currency and has highest price in cryptocurrency.

Because all of the coin still pegged on the bitcoin. bitcoin control the basic price for every crypto that means bitcoin as a root for another crypto or platform. Although some coin already had fiat pair and it will build his own price.

Well said...
It's totally dependent on the capacity of handling in a crisis moment, also depends on the credibility as well as acceptability of Bitcoin, people basically want to depend on a trusted platform so Bitcoin needs to go more way to earn more trusty. But I'm hopeful that Bitcoin is becoming a powerful currency day by day and many countries are going to allow Bitcoin as a legal currency, Japan already approved so it'll be fine for Bitcoin..

Well it seems that everyone is being annoyed from volatility of bitcoin, and there is a truly variety of new generation cryptocurrencies.Nevertheless
bitcoin is the most popular one, and there must be some reasons for this.

Technology is not everything, technology is important but it does not tell the whole story, people trust in bitcoin more than in any other coin, also even if you think the technology is outdated that does not mean that it cannot improve, bitcoin moves a lot of money so it makes sense for the developers to be very careful to what they add to bitcoin.

from my perspective, bitcoin has a good future, nowadays bitcoin is becoming one of the lucrative virtual currency, some countries are going to allow bitcoin as a legal money, Japan already has given permission to use bitcoin for the purpose of the transaction.so it can be said that bitcoin will dominate in the monetary world...

.
That gives us a pretty clear view of the path that bitcoin is taking and is about to take in the future. Australia's adoption as well will highly boost btc stock and more countries are bound to follow soon. If you talk about digital currency today, you're pretty much talking about bitcoin and it won't be long for it to go mainstream.

Many people predict that bitcoins will just die in the near future but some of them failed because they want to buy some bitcoin and sell it because of that news so meaning bitcoins have a big future. try to research something about bitcoin you will see it.

The poll had no all of the above options which is what I would have chosen. The reality is that very rarely does the first iteration of a technology become the dominant one forever. Bitcoin is very unique though so who really knows but due to the difficulty in reaching consensus it hasn't been able to adapt and implement a lot of new technology that could work with it.

Future of bitcoin better security of new currency some of us who see the dao program is so tragic because dao is are hacked and almost all of their coins sell on the market, bitcoin also have the very huge price right now, so there is a big chance that bitcoin future is the better security for all crypto currency

The technology of Bitcoin is outdated and high volatility is a part of bitcoin. For a person who has a daily usage, this volatility is a curse for him but the same volatility is the thing on which traders depend. Other new generation cryptocurrencies are not as volatile as Bitcoin which is making them a better overall option. Some people believe that Bitcoin is gonna die in near future.

Then I guess those people you're talking about don't have their investment in Bitcoin because most of us who have invested in Bitcoin are the ones causing the volatility by our daily demand increases and decreases. It goes to tell that majority that have invested in Bitcoin are hopeful of Bitcoin's future and so we don't care what others outside the Bitcoin world are saying.

Outdated by what standards? Bitcoin from what I know started the concept Cryptocurrency which the whole world as of now is not yet properly introduce with. Meaning that the technology of Cryptocurrency itself it still new to the general public. Yes there are credit cards and apple pay but a currency that is not controlled by any government is something new and unique for the majority. For me the volatility of Bitcoin signifies two things it has growing demand and secondly the participation of buying and selling is high with Bitcoin there is nothing bad with volatility.

no to me i think most of the people are predicting that the price of bitcoin will survive for a long time time, even some people are giving wrong prediction about the price of bitcoin that bitcoin is going to die, but in fact they are finding opportunities to buy bitcoin in a low price which is not so easy because now people are trying to hold bitcoin and not to sell it.

Guys, I really believe in Bitcoin. I really hope that the future Crypto currency is very Rainbow. At least I want Bitcoin to exist and get married well until I earned another home and a car. And there already as God will give and will be. LOL LOL LOL So I believe in Bitcoin, Because it's not necessary.

The future of bitcoin is very bright and promising and bitcoin is still in its younger age and as time will pass it will become more stronger and mature so I don't think we should be worried about the future of bitcoins.

Yes many altcoins have many good factors to consider like the anonymity of it. They say that anonymity makes the altcoins more secure and safe. But bitcoin will always be bitcoin. No other altcoins can replace bitcoin as the top crypto currency. The volatility of bitcoin makes it more popular because of the high demand.

Future of BTC is very bright imo, and I do not think it will be challenged by many coin if any coin. Sure it may not be the best but it has the first mover advantage and with how much power it is I doubt it will fall off the top

Yeah the old technology of bitcoins is a problem but im pretty sure that even though they use and old generation of technology in creatingbitcoins it doesnt mean that they can adopt into technical changes and upgrades from this generations

in fact there are thousands of coins but no one is really competing with bitcoin, bitcoin is the number one crypto currency and is will remain as number in future also. to me the popularity of bitcoin is increasing too much as compare to any other currency, people at entering and investing money in bitcoin because their trust level over bitcoin is increasing. those people who have already invested money in bitcoin they are increasing their investment in bitcoin. so to me the future of bitcoin is really bright and secure.

In my opinion at some point anonymity features will need to be added to bitcoin, there are some exchanges that do not accept bitcoin that comes from gambling sites, so in order to improve the fungibility of the coins, basically that every coin is treated equally regardless of where it comes from, then anonymity features must be added to bitcoin at some point.

You are right but do not forget that it is not only about security of the blockchain, but also of the services that operate using this, even BTC has had to endure those reversals, I mean the sites that were hacked in the past, another case, sites with  fraudulent activity  abound and that is a big problem.

Today to predict the future of Bitcoin is an ungrateful business I think that this is not worth doing. Already, even many experts were mistaken in their forecasts for this year. Today we see a hangup in the price of Bitcoin and fluctuations in one direction. Although in reality the error is insignificant, but nevertheless the issues concerning investing in Bitcoin are very much influenced by the financial side.

Fair enough predicting future is really not an easy task and you are right chat some are predicting and its really not worth doing . but as we all can see the rising prices and high   market value of bitcoin is now on its highest value everyone are hoping of a good future after investing in bitcoin or after buy some coins. so I guess if for example someday bitcoin gone loss its value the I must say nothing is lasting even so bitcoin too but still we can take benefit tell its with us . no doubt if it will be high level benefit for us but get we should not be afraid of its future because today we are hopping for good future of bitcoin.

In fact, Japan and South korea have already authorized and legalized transactions with bitcoin, I believe Japan and South korea have conducted lengthy study and perhaps debate before officially legalize bitcoin, this will be follow by other countries so that the future of the bitcoin bright.

I’m not so sure about that, in my opinion the recent acceptance from Japan of bitcoin comes mostly from a weak economy, the Japanese have tried everything they can to try to revive their economy and all their attempts have failed, so this seems to me as an attempt to try to bring some of the money moving in crypto to their country and if bitcoin is destined to be as big as we think then the Japanese are hoping to take advantage of it.

Well I guess since much of the developed world where payment systems that enable instantaneous person-to-person payment are not available, would love to adopt Bitcoin. The barriers are the regulators and the almost near vacuum of local Bitcoin exchanges. Look at India - no exchange in India. Same can be said of Pakistan, Bangladesh, GCC, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand (though there are a few players in Thailand who are selling Bitcoins), North Africa, etc. There is a very large population that simply does not have access to buying bitcoins. Since they cannot buy it - they cannot trade with it. This will be changing in the coming months/years.

Who told you that their is no exchange in India, India have got 3 big crypto exchanges which are doing business for 17% of the market business. other country i dont have details so i cannot comment on them.

I think the outdated technology of bitcoin will become the reason why people will change to other currencies because in fact, there is already a lot of currencies that has a good features and technology that focuses in the problems that we are facing right now. If bitcoin will not improve on its technology then it will be the cause for its fall.

Yes, it is true.
People really do not like the slow.
Why people still choose bitcoin because the price can change with a fast time.
So that trading bitcoin is much more profitable than stable minexcoin.

Volatility is one of the reasons why investors and investing on bitcoins and making profit off it. Don't think it will ever be replaced. Other issues faced by bitcoin such as scaling are being thought and solutions are being put forward. Think it the other way.

Maybe you're right, And I even have confirmation. A lot of information is already being said about approaching August 1, when there will be some problems common in technology and maybe a duplicate of Bitcoin is created. I can not formulate this problem so far, but it seems that a homogeneous copy of Bitcoin can be created that will cause corresponding problems. I hope that we will not lose our coins.

You are correct the developer should get into it .Or else ,on one day the future of bitcoin will badly affected.Many started to inverse their own money on bitcoin.If the developer want this to continue so they have to update the technology .The price of bitcoin is supper as compare to any other altcoin. Developer should think about the technology for the growth of bitcoin.

Bitcoin has a great future in the world of crypto-currency, it is in demand in all areas and their number is growing.
Bitcoin becomes more expensive, even after its fall in price.

Yes, the technology improves so fast that if bitcoin won’t consider upgrading, it might result to the use of bitcoin being outdated. I really do believe that the technology grows so fast that sometimes it is too fast for other things to catch up with it. Its growth surely leads to new innovations but sometimes that there are still useful things which we can renovate and improve that are being outdated and left behind thinking that it has no use anymore.

You are looking about this in the wrong way, the volatility of bitcoin has nothing to do with bitcoin and everything to do with how we use it, so there is no link between the technology and the volatility, second if you think bitcoin is volatile then I will suggest that you look at alts to see what it is real volatility.

People have continually cited the volatility of bitcoins as a reason why it will not last, but for me i believe its the volatility thats going to make bitcoin last through the ages, I believe almost all the other crypto currencies are volatile, they are not backed by any economy of the world or any precious metal or natural resource.

You are one of the few people who take bitcoin volatility as an advantage. I'm engaged in buying and selling bitcoin and for me, fluctuating prices is a good way to make money.
Bitcoin is now on the threshold of a new era. Thanks to the upcoming changes, it will become even more popular and more expensive

Bitcoin in the future will be increasingly popular with very fantastic price.

Yup volatility has its advantage specially in bitcoin market. Many has taken advantage of this in making huge amount of money. And bitcoin will cross another milestone today, in just a matter of hours and we will see how the unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous is going to happen in Aug 1. But after that the price will again increases and I'm sure many are going to make huge money again specially before the end of the year.

Yeah your right my friend, but not only on the price high why bitcoin is popular. But because of good credibility of this coins moreover, bitcoin had an excellent connection to all people and like you I believe that in the future bitcoin will stop at the top of all crytocurrencies in the world.

to me I think that the future of bitcoin is very bright.  in fact people are now taking interest in online shopping and online business therefore i think that hey will surely give preference to online currency and i think bitcoin will be the best option for them. because bitcoin is the most trusted and reliable currency of the world and the users of bitcoin are also increasing from time to time.

And it is also the hope that in the future the governments will accept bitcoin for their states and then it will be the global currency for the business and trade all around the world.

Minexcoin instead of bitcoin? This is the first time i'm hearing the name of that shitcoin.Its really a comedy to say that bitcoin has outdated technology.There is no altcoin which could replace bitcoin today.Another joke that minexcoin,the shitcoin has less volatility.Ha..Ha...Ha...

Bitcoin is unmatched, many new altcoins are emerging but ultimately altcoin only becomes rubbish, unable to survive like bitcoin, bitcoin has strong community fundamentals and many people are investing in bitcoin in large quantities. Bitcoin will not be left by the community but bitcoin will always be the best

It is not too difficult to make bitcoin the world's currency, however, it is difficult for it to last forever. Bitcoin has been accepted by many governments, but it is still a virtual currency, it is not sustainable.

The volatility of bitcoin is important and very useful for traders, you can gain profit easier when you buy and sell bitcoin because of its volatility. This is what people like about bitcoin.

but unfortunately minexcoin it until now has not been reported again after the ico, whether this will prove the future minexcoin is better than bitcoin

but unfortunately minexcoin it until now has not been reported again after the ico, whether this will prove the future minexcoin is better than bitcoin

I think the volatility of the bitcoin is a great advantages of bitcoin because of the price that is always changing. Many people are being attracted because of the volatility of the bitcoin.

The future of BTC lies on us (btcearners) and the growing demand of crypto-currencies. The value of btc is growing and rising because of many people who (like me) want to earn also btc. I really sure that in the future btc will be the world currency to used by all people.

Future of BTC? Maybe we can have a new and better security for the safety of our bitcoins, and for me bitcoin will become more stable and unpredictable. Bitcoin will surely make a good value before it becomes more stable in the future.  ;D

I think it is because of its volatility the future of bitcoin is depending on that and also its very important mostly for the traders itself. That's how they get their profits from.

I look at volatility as the essence of bitcoins. No one is going to make grand profits with bitcoins if they had stable price. Bitcoins are famous because of its amazing pumps and dumps. Why people love roller coasters more than plain swings just because they get excited on the former one and enjoy the thrills. Same is with bitcoins.

Volatility is the problem that leads to the question, “Why can’t Bitcoin be purchased on a futures market like oil?” Oil also has an issue with volatility, as can be seen every time a major refinery catches fire, or an oil producing nation decides to turn the taps off. But with oil and other commodities, futures are based on a delivery of tangible product, like an actual barrel of oil or bushel of wheat. With Bitcoin, there are no actual coins, there is simply the value of those coins, agreed upon by its users and miners, and based on faith paired with scarcity. The futures market will likely grow and gel into something globally useable, but it, too may have to go through a fork or two to peel away the variances and emerge with a (mostly) universally accepted platform that remains true to both the “ownerless” status of cryptocurrencies, as well as something regulated and reliable. That’s a tall order.

I agree with you, that is really possible. Even some expert said that bitcoin user will increase until reach 100 million,  now bitcoin usees is 10million aproximately and I am sure that the number will keep increase.

The future of bitcoin depends on yourself how to deal with rising price of bitcoin. But we must be sure that bitcoin prices will increase in future. We must believe that because, can be a future motivation to bitcoin permanent popular.

If you are talking about price increase. You said that it will increase come on brother. It is increasing on daily based which is known as powerful currency i would like to say that we should keep in mind that bitcoin will be above more than 10x than this price. Because the going market of bitcoin is pretty awesome states so we should say that it would be the most challenging life style in the future to gain some extra profit from bitcoin.

I believe that crypto-currencies will be popular among citizens and organizations. And we will stop feeding banks, corporations and governments.

rising bitcoin prices that we can not guess, because the price of bitcoin in a week that is very changing sometimes up sometimes down.
with that we still have to advance the bitcoin so that bitcoin is much to use

With the increase in bitcoin users I'm sure that bitcoin will last for a long time, probably lasting more than 50 years from now, and the price will continue rise and next year will raise at least $15,000.

I think there will be many aspects that will affect on altcoin able to replace bitcoin.
As we can see the fact is bitcoin still on high demand because of it's still reliable than other cryptocurrency.
The technology behind bitcoin still well managed !

bitcoin is the most favored, compared to other altcoins.

There will be better security crypto currency.I hope so.Because now days it is not safe.

Bitcoin is the start of the electronic money industry. I believe bitcoin will replace physical money in the future. Because electronic money such as security bitcoin is very high, it is less likely to be stolen.

Yes bitcoin is best and favored more as compared to other coins because people who invests into it have believe and faith in it that it will surely give them a huge bunch of profit and it will change their financial condition and that is just because bitcoin created room in the minds of people and that’s the righteous thing people are doing and altcoin are the kids of bitcoin investing in them at this moment is total stupidity.

Yes it’s true that the future of bitcoin will be safe and sound and I’m sure that bitcoin will be more progress and prosper in future and the reason is bitcoin is now going to expand its trade in all over the world and recently bitcoin is arrived in Thailand so its mean in future bitcoin demand will be more high and use of it will be also high.

All of what you have said and thinks will eventually happen in the future of Bitcoin but it will takes time and it will go through process as there is no instant or short cuts along the way, Bitcoin will goes up but the corrections in prices is inevitable as there is a lot of traders that taking advantage of the market for their own gains and profit plus the future bad issues that will surely affect the price of Bitcoin to go down a little bit. But for me I truly believe that Bitcoin will still go up no matter what happen as long as it withstands the hacks and security measures.

Even though we are aware of bitcoin's popularity and its usefulness but we can't assure that it will replace fiat money in the future. Because fiat is still widely used by most worldwide and it is currently used in different investment. Anyway, there is no problem of having this two currencies in our life, it's up to us what we used in our daily activities.

But how are other coins supposed to be more stable?

Bitcoin is volatile without doubt, but if you look at other coins, even top altcoins, they are way more volatile than bitcoin. You can look at litecoin which has simply devastating volatility, though it is likely one of the best altcoins in the market. This is the way things are. If you ask me, you can't make a coin stable, whether it be minexcoin or some other coin, unless you have a huge user base and huge adoption across the world. If I can put it this way, the volatility of a coin would greatly depend on it popularity. The more popular the coin is, the less volatile it will be, as simple as that. Besides, we should look at actual performance in the market, not what is written in a whitepaper.

If a technical problem such as segwit ends soon, then I'm sure that the future of bitcoin will continue to improve, with a market share of more than $ 120 then I'm sure that the future of bitcoin will continue to improve.

of course bitcoin will still improve and bitcoin itself will be increase higher than now but the matter is how long we can waiting the price to be higher again. i am sure that bitcoin will have a bright future like other people said and we need to help the spreading of bitcoin in our city so we can see soon bitcoin will be using by many people and they can adopt bitcoin in their daily life. if we compare with two or three years ago, bitcoin popularity is increasing and now i think many people is trying to use bitcoin and i am sure that each of the people will have their own purpose from using bitcoin.

technology may be outdated but it rises as graphics. the infrastructure is restrictive only in some areas. Newly developed post devices are closing up that current active applications. ultimately a functioning system and nobody can dare to erase and build a new one.

I agree with the points you're raising. However, I think being volatile is brought about by the fact that many market trends affect it, being that it is an up-and-starting currency compared to the usual means people use in the market such as money. Once more and more countries recognize and use it, then I think the volatility would begin to decrease and stability would set it.

I don't see it as a problem, the reason why bitcoin is profitable is because of it's volatility. Some people were able to gain profit from it. I really think that bitcoin can still grow higher in the future. So, I'm planning to hold as much bitcoin as I can and as long as I can.

Yes bitcoin is continue improving it self not just only for now,  but more improving day by day.  I believe that even bitcoin is outdated by now and theres has a new better than bitcoin,  bitcoin is bitcoin and has no change for that.  If ever the new one exist, i only chooce bitcoin.

Indeed all crypto currencies are volatile in nature so nobody can say about the future of these digital currencies but as for as bitcoin as crypto currency is concerned it is very good secure and profitable than other prevailing currencies in the market. Bitcoin is getting good support from their users, which is making bitcoin more stronger and reliable, investors are now do not feel any worry to invest their big amount in bitcoin and that is the reason that bitcoin demand is increasing from time to time.

i think that Bitcoin have a brillant future especially for Banking , in this period many banks uses Blockchain in their transactions due to it's safety . also the high value of Bitcoin and the augmentation from 800$ in the last year to 5700$ in this moment (7k $ 3 days ago) . it's really a good thing to invest in Bitcoin ,it's really a gold mine .and there are expectations that the value of Bitcoin will rise into 20K $ in 2020 or before .

It is very interesting that  if the volatility is compared with other crypto currencies that it will be crystal clear that the volatility of bit coin will be less than the currencies as it is the stable one further more being a transaction tool bit coin future is looking very bright

Well i think that being volatile is an advantage of bitcoins and by the way all crypto currencies are volatile in nature.But bitcoins future is bright as bitcoins has gain trust and support of the people and the investors, which is one of the main things to became successful in crypto currency market.And bitcoins are far more profitable than other crypto currencies amd chances of bitcoins being replaced by other is slim, bitcoin has survived many forks and dumps and it is still at the top with current price of around $6000.

The future of the BTC price directly reflects the amount of people adopting the technology and how fast. Also how fast the supply gets smaller and smaller will depend on how fast the price rises.

The future of bitcoin is completely gonna be successful based on the technology. As a part lot of users as well industries have been making their entry into bitcoin as well adopting blockchain technology upon their needs. Hope the same will take bitcoin to the next level of growth.

I think bitcoin future is very bright and shine there is no doubt that bitcoin is now a very strong currency around the world and a good example is recently bitcoin arrived to Thailand so its mean bitcoin is going to expand its trade to the world so demand of bitcoin is going to increased and when the demand go high so the price will go high automatically.

Bitcoin have Good volatility Because it always happen in high range (most up than normal price) but it is still volatility if you want to start your own work with bitcoin give extra 34% of total price so will be save from volatility

I think you have lots of misconceptions about bitcoin. Who says that bitcoin is outdated technology. By the bitcoin is just algorithm and the actual tech is blockchain on which the whole thing runs. It’s not outdated but it’s profound and astonishing tech which surpasses the traditional swift technology which we can see in the banking sector. The way we use bitcoin will make it volatile in its price and I don’t think that it is bad thing. Because this is what make us invest into it at the different entry point and then we can earn from it. There are many advantages of bitcoin and still so many development are pending. Just hold on and see the future which is bright.

demand for bitcoin to date is still so large and increasing. even the currently rising price is proof that bitcoin is something that is in search and need for a development. so, if this continues in the future, be sure that bitcoin will have a good future.

Well, for any other altcoins to replace Bitcoin because of some of the disadvantage you mention will take a lot of time for such a thing to happen in the nearest future. But it is a possibility that can happen in future, though one cannot tell when exactly it will happen.

Bitcoin is not an outdated technology of course, but when people speak about it in this manner, they usually mean there are better coins which are more advanced from a technological point of view and have more fancy features. In my opinion, this is not very important simply because any coin in existence today is used primarily for speculation purposes or aims at becoming a vehicle for speculation like bitcoin. If we proceed from this setup, then bitcoin is quite "up to date". It provides decent profits, and this is what seems to count most for the majority of people. People are looking for profits, they don't particularly care for innovation and some fancy stuff that new coins like dash might offer.

Since Bitcoin is volatile many of the traders in any exchange platform are getting have a chance to get profit and had a privilege to buy a token even its dump the price value but it has an instances that it can rise up in a span period of time.

Yeah it gonna be rock because the people are now trusting the bitcoin and they are investing in the bitcoin for the long time, it is very important to have something saved for the future and the values of the bitcoin will get more and more wide, bitcoin is giving the huge values and the price of the bitcoin because the income of the bitcoin is the major thing for the increasing price and the income for sure.

The volatility of bitcoin has been of an advantage to some people and of disadvantage to others.
It's this volatility of bitcoin that made it possible for individuals to make profit.
Besides, bitcoin has more users than other cryptocurrencies, survived so many downfalls in price and therefore cannot just die down. I believe bitcoin will become more stable and remain the best of all cryptocurrencies.

As Bitcoin neither is nor controlled by banks or by government, we can say that in a way it really gives freedom. Anonymity of all operations with this crypto also gives some freedom. However, will this crypto last forever?
I think it have super future!!! So we need just to invest as much as possible. Anyway now 1 bitcoin is super expensive!

Banks are worrying as they are seeing the progress of bitcoin and as far as anonymity is concerned many governments are questioning about it that this will bless false people and fir this sake check system may will be introduced in short bitcoin will be the future ruler of currency world and those who invested into it now will surely be the millionaire at that time and it will be very awesome to live in digital world.

I think the future of bitcoin is very bright. I have not seen anything that has spread so fast and has a rising graph. in fact increasingly turning the system to digital is a solid proof that bitcoin is going well. BitCoin will be valued very soon and will be valued even sooner. and I know everyone thinks that.

According to my experience in trading bitcoin will have a bright future because still there are minimum number of bitcoin users present in the world and now more big investor have taking interest in bitcoin so in future the it is more expected that the rate will be very high.

True, I think as time goes by bitcoins would be able to improve and be more establish and accepted throughout the world. Today bitcoin has taken the spot and the eye of almost every investors and economic specialist around the world and is gradually accepted and adapted by different organizations which I think would lay the solid foundation of bitcoin's future.

People love Bitcoin because of the fact it provide its user greater profit in short span of time and that is mainly due to volatility factor of Bitcoin which can give a rise of 30% in a single day whereas compared to other commodities like gold one cannot enjoy such profits. So, people moving away from Bitcoin due to volatility factor cannot be the reason. But technology changes every day and hence in the future one may see better technology than block chain there are chances that popularity of Bitcoin decreases.

The future of btc is going to be big i know that because experts said so i and no not only bitcoin experts said but even big investors like ,McAfee and also a lot of people of wall street and investors from wall street said that bitcoin is the future.

No one can say anything about bitcoin in the future and I believe it will price increase

With such a high volatility in bitcoin, for me it is not a big problem and I think it is something very interesting. Bitcoin also has a high security system, so I need not worry. Bitcoin still has a good future, I'm sure of it and will no doubt. See now the bitcoin price has rebounded and has reached $7700. It proves if the bitcoin enthusiasts are still very high and the demand on bitcoin keeps growing. I'm sure bitcoin has a very big future and prospect in the future.

The system of bitcoin is fully secured and I think it will increase more the price in the future. But everything is possible to happen maybe we see the price of decrease . Today the price is 7700 dolpars and thats good to us and I hope the price will cotninue to increasw so we can make more profit. As of now I dont have a doubt in bitcoin that price will decrease i believe it will increase.

First of all, ALL cryptocurrency are VOLATILE. There's no exception on this one. And I think, volatility is the reason why traders trade assets. That's the reason why they earn from cryptocurrency. In fact, the traders are the one who are keeping the cryptocurrency market alive. Second, bitcoin network and blockchain is not outdated. In fact, the forking that happens in bitcoin network is actually one way to keep it up-to-date and to upgrade some of its features. Third, I don't think some of these new cryptocurrencies/tokens/altcoins are more secure than bitcoin. These new coins actually have limited use compared to bitcoin. Some coins are intended for a specific purpose only while bitcoin can be used as a universal e-money. That's why I still have my trust on bitcoin, and I don't think that an altcoin will later beat it in terms of its value and usability.

As traders, volatility is our "friend" specially for day traders. Its one aspect of bitcoin that we really like unlike stocks or any trading market. If you know how to play arbitrage then you will love how volatility works.

As for the future of bitcoin, no one really know for sure. Maybe we can see new coins being embrace just like bitcoin. But definitely bitcoin has already a foothold and has the trust of most traders and investors that's why the price keeps going up. This alone will show that bitcoin can stay at the top for so long.

Bitcoin is creating a lot of jobs and in the future big developers will invest heavily in Bitcoin as Bitcoin is on the way. I think if Bitcoin is recognized around the world then Bitcoin can be considered as cash

I really believe that bitcoin will be very popular in the future. even the development to date is so fast. well, i feel that bitcoin will really have a high price in the future. even many entrepreneurs are willing to buy lots of bitcoin.

Yes i further agree with you, and aside from bitcoin was the first crypto that has been made for a certain purpose, it really has the potential of being so high in the future. Just like what the others saying here, just depending on how you will handle the volatility price, although it is slowly changing for the better, let us also keep an eye to what really will be happening.

Bitcoin right now is becoming a very popular cryptocurrency and a lot of people are now getting into bitcoin and that is how bitcoin will have a very huge future because of the things that we have right now. If you want to get into bitcoin but worried of the volatility then it is just best to hold bitcoin for long term and wait for the price to meets your expectation before thinking of selling.

Kinda expect if bitcoin gonna lose to some new generation of cryptocurrencies, security is probably the main issue of this matter. because, if you see from the volatile side/ term. You still could use it for some profit, if you use it right. that's my opinion about this topic  :) #CMIIW

There may have come many new cryptocurrency but one should not forget that the base ground for all this development has been put forth by bitcoin. It is the first entrant in this digital currency segment.
May be its technology is outdated but still is advanced enough to stay at the top.

Well the increasinh graphs say so. And about the volatility, it isnt happening just by nothing. It is rising because there have been more buyers than sellers recently. People kind of trust bitcoins more then others now. Also bitcoins deliver a faster profit earning to the investors compared to any other currency or trading platform.

Other currencies and patforms may be very secure and innovative but profit out there is still an issue and it takes allot of time. Despite being volatole btc is no. 1 on the list. All that it needs is a regulation and acceptance.
