Can bitcoin be the world's currency?

No, most likely it will just become a supreme method for store of value.

I think Ripple, Dogecoin or some of these other altcoins have the potential to be the world's currency, but a world currency will need to be politically backed instead of intrinsically backed like Gold, so who knows which one will win out in the end.  :o

World's currency = Main currency of the world?

I think it's possible. Rumors say that an ocult organization wants to control the world and to make it they want to introduce a global currency, a currency that will be used by all countries and by all people of the world, but I'm sure they don't want a decentralized currency to execute this plan. They have two options: Control Bitcoin by regulating it or creating a new Crypto-Currency.

If it doesn't happen as a New Mundial Order, it can happen if many countries unite among themselves having the same ideas about what to do with Bitcoin. So it could become the World's Currency and at same time be controlled by them as it will be regulated.

In my opinion, Bitcoin will never be a world's currency or even a country currency. For bitcoin is only a digital currency which means it doesn't have appearance. The other reason why it can't be a world's currency is, it is not centralized, it doesn't pass through central banks. In addition to that, bitcoin is not subjected to tax but still government can impose tax to bitcoin if ever they want to.

Right. Dogecoin is going to the be the world's reserve currency. The largest accounts in the world will all be settled with a memecoin. That'll be the day! :P


Right now, a few semi-wealthy people can push the price around easily. It's possible for BTC to be a reserve currency far into the future when it might actually have stable value. But that's far enough off (decades probably) that I won't think on it too much.

Everything in this world is possible dude. And it is a cryptocurrency we are talking about here at this point. There is a man taught me that in cryptocurrency we can find that anything is really possible. He is a member of XEM team. And if I am not mistaken, XEM belongs to top 10 in coinmarket.

I don't think so. Physical money still the best currency. Bitcoin doesn't have physical because it's a digital asset. And i don't think countries will be in favour one currency. It can't be regulated. Aside from that digital assets like bitcoin requires technology in able to use. Example, the internet. Bitcoin needs internet in able to spend it to anything. Imagine without internet. It's a disaster. Bitcoin is good  because of it's profitability. Admit it or not. We only use bitcoin because it's very profitable right now. Traditional currency is preferred by most of people. It's accepted everywhere, doesn't require technology in able to use and easy to use. Just give it. Done.

Nope, it is not possible to become the world's currency because bitcoin does not have an unlimited supply and it has only 21 million supply so it is not enough for the whole world's population and its price or value is not stable so there will be a huge problem in the economy if the income or profit that they are getting is not stable.

It may only be an alternative currency but to be world's currency That is impossible. Bitcoin is set only to be a Digital currency in which we could use as an alt. Of credit card. It will took a lot years and efforts before bitcoin could be legally accepted worldwide. As of the moment there are only selected countries who accept it as a form of currency. Given with that scenario some of the businesses in those countries do not yet accept it.

I don't totally agree with your idea, bitcoin is the best currency and its the father of all coins therefore it has the real potential to be the worlds first digital currency. bitcoin is awesome and there is no debate about it. I prefer using bitcoin than any other coins. you can earn money on bitcoins but not on any other coins, that's why bitcoin is the best.

By world currency I am assuming you mean currencies that can be used by everyone in the world, without translating that currency to that country's native fiat currency.

I don't think Bitcoin will become this though, too many problems such as high transaction fees, but other altcoins might have a chance of this.

Anything is possible, but we still have a LONG ways to go if Bitcoin is to become used by everyone. Still today 99% or more of people do not know what it is.

It is already available across the world, anyone in any country no matter where they are from can use bitcoin. This is one of bitcoin's most attractive features, which is essentially instantaneous global transactions without a bank.

However i think that you mean worldwide adoption of bitcoin, which in my opinion is completely possible if given a decade or two. People still need to get used to the idea of an economy without a centralized authority, and they need time to adjust.

But in the long term i have no doubt that btc will be used at a wide scale to facilitate transactions.

There is no assurance but there is a very high possibility that Bitcoin can become the world's currency especially now that it is becoming more popular in the world and the different countries are now starting to accept it legalized it. Some well known celebrities are also starting to post and announced to the world about their crypto related investments.

It might not be an official world currency, but if it continues growing the way it is at the moment it might be/ if it's not already an unofficial world currency.

Although it has to be legalized by most countries before it can reached that status.

It could possibly be the worlds "Virtual Currency", I doubt if it could replace Fiats in the first place

Taking over fiat? NO! Being used globally? Possible! I see bitcoin as a digital currency that can be used as a store of value, and one day can be easily used as a mode of payment globally but fiat will still definitely remain for each country. Just the way we have dollar as the most used international currency globally but still never stopped each country from making use of its own fiat currencies is the same way we will end up having bitcoin. However, I foresee other crypto currencies being a preferable day to day micro payment means while bitcoin will end up being a store of value like gold unless we start having an easy micro transaction soon.

can be. bitcoin should only make some of the development and breakthroughs that everyone can accept. because currently the bitcoin system is very rigid. I guess if bitcoin can make adjustments to the times and technology, I think that will happen.

At this stage I would say NO to Bitcoin being the Global reserve currency. Bitcoin is still sorting out scaling problems and would not be able to handle large amounts of transactions that would be required by a global reserve currency. If we move towards that scenario, the scaling problems would first have to be solved.

The Lightning Network is the next step towards mainstream adoptions, but I am still not sure if it would be able to handle such a load. 

Your question was asked many times and majority of the answers is "NO" Bitcoin is only applicable for sending and receiving money in a more faster, easier and secured way rather than sending fiat money but ahead of this advantages of bitcoin I think It will never become a world currency because of many factors no. 1 is volatility and another is lack of support from the government I think banks will not agree using bitcoins in the future.  

You can never say never but i'd highly doubt it will become the worlds currency! Certainly I think it will continue to grow in technology, use and awareness but I can't see it being the world's currency personally.

Actually the bitcoin is the world's currency right now. Why did i say it or what's the prooft?

1. It is used by different people around the world. (Eventhough some country didn't accept it)
2. The most known currency and the most valuable currency in crypto.
3. It is now used as a mode of payment.
4. Some countries stores accepts bitcoin.
5. The value of it is increasing and increasing.

By just look at this features of bitcoin you can say that it's now a world's currency.

No. Not yet.
There may have been some people who are saying yes. I say they are too optimistic but we have to be true and see reality.
This world right now is not yet organized to be set into online currency that will be circulating. That needs world peace too which cannot be done. It is impossible. It can be a currency for all but just online which is different from being a global currency.

why do you think bitcoin cannot turn into the worlds currency? Bitcoin is very popular at the moment.
and the value is still rising. i personally think it might even reach 10000 dollars in about 10 years.

It is already a currency that can be used worldwide, so yes. But if you mean that it will be the main currency everywhere, I do not think so. Fiat will still remain however strong gets. And it is healthier to have other currencies other than bitcoin.

In a short time frame it is not possible to become global currency without supported by officially, but in the long run there is a potential to become one of the strongest currency.

most likely not, because an eye if it wants to be a global currency or an international currency requires political support from some ruling countries, therefore for now bitcoin is unlikely to be the world's currency

No, unless 100% of the world population has an internet

As the time past by , bitcoin can be adjust by anytime and anywhere around the world
The fact : bitcoin is popular currency so anything is possible

I don't think there has to be one single currency. Currencies can complement each other quite well. So perhaps we'll see that every country still has his/her own fiat, but crypto's are supported, but not regulated (that much) as well.  

In my opinion bitcoin cant never be a world currency it will remain as digital currency or just a storage of hidden treasure. Countries accepting bitcoin is just a mode or method of payment in different market or industry but being a currency government will impose a genius regulation about it. But in our world everything is possible so we cant tell what happen next. Everything i wrote is my own opinion and understanding i dont want to hurt or disrepect anyone in this forum...  

I have said this and I am saying again. Money is an expression of the work. When there is no work, there is no money, or the value of the money is little.

Money was invented as an easier way for barter, that existed 2000-5000 years ago. Instead of giving an object and receiving other object, people were receiving money for that given object.
 
Bitcoin was invented primarly to give some money and receive bitcoin instead, not to give an object and receive bitcoin. In this acception bitcoin is not real money, it is something that has been invented instead of money. Time will tell if bitcoin will become the future world currency or not, I would say that this will not happen in the next 10-20 years.

I will just say perhaps. I don't know actually. With the high volatility of bitcoin right now, I am afraid it will just be unstable to be used as a world's currency. Some are not spending a single satoshi even because of the prospect of BTC's price to shoot higher soon.

For bitcoin to be the world's currency, i think this is impossible, bitcoin is just a non tangible digital currency like its real currency which more stable value than bitcoin whose value is so fluctuating / changing over time and whose numbers are still limited. In my opinion, bitcoin will remain as a new breakthrough or just another side from the real money only, to make money in a more modern way that must use internet connection.

I think it will. But it's so far from now. Because all the country is not proper digital now to have bitcoin as their currency.

I think with the growing popularity Bitcoin has all the chances to become the global cryptocurrency, though there still is the risk of its security and stability.

I think its so much difficult because still now there are many countries not legal in Bitcoin.So its i think impossible and its my personal opinion.

It depends on what you mean by "world currency".
Well, if you mean is that it will be used world wild, so the answer is yes, it's really possible since Bitcoin now is widely known and can be used to purchase anything. So, you can say BTC is the world currency.
In the other hand, if you mean that Bitcoin will be recognized by governments, I think that is really hard since governments will never approve to deal with something they can't monitor and control.
I think we can say that Bitcoin is the "un-official world currency".

It is currently world's currency, dude. Many people from many places are using bitcoin for many purposes. They use bitcoin in the deepweb, they use bitcoin to buy goods and buy games on steam. They hold their bitcoin for future profit. And you can take your bitcoin to any place you want and you can easily exchange it to local currency without any troubles

No, it is unlikely it will become it. Not impossible... it could evolve, become faster, more widely known and reach to that point. But most likely will stay as it is and keep being a very good store of value.

I think its already the worlds currency because no country or no authority owns bitcoin .Even you can send money from one country to another without any barrier . even you can do any international transaction using bitcoin without any limitation what else you need to b bitcoin as world currency.

Is a possibility. A lot of people know about Bitcoin, included North Korea's Special delegate of the Committee on Cultural Relations

No, bitcoin is already too high a price and it will be a global investment for storing and multiplying money. This is an independent crypto currency that is not intended only for use as a currency.

In which world you are living , Because here in this world most of the people who are making worldwide payments are using bitcoin and saving much amount of the money ( with the savings of transaction fee ) .
So you can understand well people are using bitcoin in much amount and no chance for any other coin to get success like bitcoin because bitcoin has trust with the people more than what another coins or options have .
So don't get in doubt whether it will get success or not and use it in every field and for every purpose for which you can take advantage and ease with cryptocurrency world .
Here you can see the example of the japan where many big big services are using bitcoin payment like in hotel , airways airlines officially .

I think it is impossible if bitcoin becomes money in the world, because it differs considerably from USD which already has unlimited stock in the world while bitcoin has 21 million stock distribution in this world but it isn’t enough for this world and it also has unstable selling price unlike USD which already has a stable price around the world

everyone does not think about how Bitcoin can grow up to now or the next few years?
I think everyone also can not explain about the existence of satoshi nakamoto and suddenly lost :)
I am just saying that if technology in a more sophisticated world in the future might also replace the financial system

I don't know exactly whether bitcoin can be a real currency but in my opinion for now it will be hard to make bitcoin as real currency because bitcoin price is still very fluctuating and if it will later be made a currency of course prepared the means used to make bitcoin as real currency.  :)

It's quite impossible  but tomorrow is way unpredictable. Since the whole world is coping up the the advancement of technology, if there's nothing wrong that will happen such as things that will make the reputation of digital currency or perhaps bitcoin, it will be possible in the future. But still, I won't say that other regular currencies will disappear in am instant, maybe it is more on dominance such that in the future, Bitcoin has potential to be a more dominant currency than fiat.

I think it is still not possible because bitcoin is free and not controlled by a particular institution

On the internet it will be. But with the recent bans in different countries this is now going to be impossible.
I thought before nothing can stop bitcoin but now they have find a way to do it.
But I have still one question in my mind. If they ban the bitcoin in one country, what agency of the government is tracing the bitcoin movement inside or outside their country. Can they really know that?

I can't say it's not possible but for that to happen, bitcoin should be accessible throughout the world provided with a system and internet connection to be used by the most complex to simplest business or services which is very unlikely to happen specially in third world countries.

Bitcoin has spreading worldwide that is become popular. Though we can't predict the future but for now it's not possible that bitcoin can be the world's currency. Because bitcoin is used as digital currency and still main currency is the fiat. It is volatile that it's not easy to be used as world's currency.

It's possible if technological advancements were made and the countries adopted it. The problems it has now may be solved in the near future and as of now, a lot of countries are starting to accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

It would be cool though if it were. It would provide convenience for the travellers, because they won't go through the hassle of having to exchange their fiat money to the local currency of the country which they'll visit and lose a lot of money through the taxes. Also, Bitcoin would allow easy and fast transactions along with the convenience of not having to carry it around. As of now, Bitcoin may look far from becoming the world's currency but it may be possible given the circumstances at hand.

i think it imposible , there must be approval from all countries around the world so bitcoin can be made in the world currency ..

If you do see on those aspect you would able to say that bitcoin would really be considered on those sectors but thinking off that all things should really be regulated and knowing bitcoin its a decentralized thing and making it as a main currency.I would say its really an impossible thing to happen.No matter how bitcoin would progress or be successful it would really just still remain on its place on where its just a new way payment system and wont really replaced any strong local fiat currencies on any country.

No I don't think it could be the worlds currency, that's too far to be possible. What about those countries who have no internet access, how could they acquire this currency if they know nothing about bitcoin? That's too selfish to think that it could be that title.

Bitcoin has good potential to be the world's cryptocurrency this cryptocurrency helps to transact easily with low cost of transactions to any part of the world without any hinderences. May be in three to four year's time all the countries will accept bitcoins.

I think it’s impossible because there are countries that are against it. Its price is not stable so it cannot be a worlds currency because it can cause a problem at the future. It can be a great help to many and being used all over the world, in payment transaction for buying goods and services but it will not enough reason to make it as a worlds currency. And also many people still don’t know it or interested on it like the elderly, children, or other people that don’t have an internet connection. And also I think the government will oppose to it because it is decentralized so they can’t add tax on it.

You mean become the main currency and replace paper money and others?
If you mean that, i don't think so. Although bitcoin is already popular and many people use it, it'll be too difficult for bitcoin to become the main currency.
Moreover, bitcoin is more like anonymous and can't be ruled or controlled, so it'll be hard for the goverment to do regulations with bitcoin.

Many of us use to think like that before and specially when there was no ban in China regarding the ICO’s. Now when Chinese government is imposing a ban over the ICO’s which for sure is leading to gateway to ban bitcoin in China shows how vulnerable bitcoin is.

There are lots of intelligent minds working with the agencies in different countries of the world who may have find it how to trace the bitcoin movement. The US agency IRS have already claimed that they can trace 50% of the bitcoin easily.

I do not think it would be possible for bitcoin to be the universal currency because the universal currency is USD, USD has been the universal currency since World War 2 until now it will be difficult for bitcoin to replace the USD.

Actually, many people believw that bitcoin will become our world currency and I do believe that it would happen in the future. In addition to that, it is possible to happen because as of now it is widely accepted in some country and they also use it as money that they use in different kind of transaction.

Of course Bitcoin can be the world currency its possible i think and its my personal opinion.Because now a days BTC is the most popular digital currency over the whole world.

I highly doubt it, does not mean I do not believe it. this is because bitcoin is the virtual currency, and serves as a tool of the digital world.
and if bitcion becomes the original currency. I think it is possible that bitcoin could become the world's currency.

I don't feel so. 40 years after world doesn't require a currency which take 10-infinite time in getting transaction confirmed. Future high-tech, fast world requires a currency which is free from miners' influence and arbitrary and is completely decentralized.

         Yeah that was right. It is pretty scary and at the same time its amazing though on how they are able to track down bitcoin movements and even those owners. Sometimes I do even think about your assets are no longer safe in bitcoin and there is a possibility that it will lead to death of bitcoin. I can even think that maybe someday bitcoin will be imposed with taxes by the government, they really wanted to have an access by any means for them also to make money, a bit scary but I am just fantasizing it though.

It is already a world currency. But if you are saying that bitcoin becomes the dominant medium of international exchange, then that is less likely to happen. Governments of various countries won't accept a decentralized medium of financial system ever. If that ever be a cryptocurrency then that currency would definitely be backed by some government.

We all know that it is possibile and I hope it would happen bitcoin. I believe that bitcoin will become our best currency and it will accepted in all kind of transaction. In addiiton to that, I belive to the great potential of bitcoin and I think it will become our world currency.

No it cannot ever replay centralized currencies. That would totally cause a lot of chaos for sure. If a decentralized currency like bitcoins become the main currency of a country then it would be in utter disarray because the government cannot control inflation and other factors that are being done to stabilize an economy. Bitcoin cannot be controlled because the market is the one dictating price. There is now way the government change this and will likely collapse a whole economy and send it to a depression for sure if it happens.

With the high level of volatility, I do not see bitcoin becoming the world's currency. However, I see bitcoin being used globally more as a store of value than a currency. Just an assumption though as anything can happen. But using one currency globally?  ???

If you want to buy coffee at Starbucks or burger at McDonalds or buying a magazine at a 7-Eleven.
That probably won't happen soon, if ever, not without serious upgrades like LN in place first.
We need to face it - Bitcoin's user experience is terrible and Bitcoin won't be able to confront private payment systems.
Because, frankly speaking public blockchains are slower than private payment systems - which may change in the future tho.

There is possibility that bitcoin can become our world currency and I think it would happen in the future. In addition to that, we all know that bitcoin is widely accpeted and some people use it to pay their bills and to buy some stuff and in the word you can simply say that bitcoin is also currency.

This is exactly the right thing, the main difference between the bitcoin and the UDS in term of number shared in the world. The number of bitcoin is very limited as we know that there are trillion of USD circulation in the world while the USD production is still continue.

The bitcoin is too tiny to be used in the world population if 10% of the world population start using bitcoin as a currency its price will reach high but as a currency it will fail.

yea other altcoin give you good profit. I you talk about world currency first you tell bitcoin. bitcoin is all of above. when you need money you can't sell other coin in local market. today bitcoin is most popular in world currency.

Bitcoin is not only single coin that is working in international market. There are many others but bitcoin is above all.
And this highness of bitcoin is just due to the yielding percentage of profit, nothing else make a huge difference like this. Altcoins are there but not so much efficient so yeah bitcoin is there for you on first priority.

On the other hand, there are people who adopt other coins too for long term holding also. We cannot be sure all the coins will be having bright future but compared to any other coins, bitcoin must be the only one cryptocurrency which is having highly speculated bright future.

You get point! Both phrases are clearly not thesame. The phrase '' World's Currency" could Sometimes be mistaken for some sort of imposed global Currency, which it's not. Could simply mean "Major World's Currency'

It cannot first of all because the amount of bitcoin is finite and you'll need a infinite amout of fiat to create wealth, salaries and economic stability in a country. Secondly bitcoin draws its value from real world money and without it bitcoin would be useless.
So even tho it would be beneficial for the world to get 1 currency and unite our moneytery system to solve world poverty, Bitcoin cant be that union.

I don't think that is possible, because every country has that own currency, When bitcoin will be the currency of the world, so the stock market of currencies will close, and it will be more problems in the banks, and bitcoin will be under control by the govermenet which it's too bad for peoples who own bitcoin, It will be ruled by the goverement, so bitcoin will lost his value.

Yes,why not in this new modern world in technology bitcoin can be possible become the words currency.we know the popularity of the bitcoin in entire world as an alternate of money & gold ,maybe as of now china did not accept bitcoin in there stock market ,and my opinion maybe they did not much understand the value of bitcoin or either they do not want foreign countries to have stock in there economy.but i know someday my vision that when time economy in china will slow down thats the time they need the help of other countries or thats the time they need the help of bitcoin and that time btc is in the maximum level of its currency.

I think it is impossible. Since bitcoin has only limited resources in the world, in cant be the world's currency because only some of the people can have it. Also, not all people in the world has any idea what bitcoin is. Those techy people or those people who knew a lot about computers are the one who only knew about bitcoin.

Great point, that is the reason why bitcoin will not become the world's currency because a lot of people are not aware of it and there is a lot of people that are not interested into volatile stuffs so it is very impossible for bitcoin and since it has a limited supply it will have a lot of difficulties in sustaining the demand of all people.

Maybe in distance future it could be. We still don't have world currency. World should be place with one government, totally globalized first so we could get a unique world currency and I don't know if it ever will happened.

Not in the near future, but it still possible tp happen. Bitcoin's community is already growing up daily worldwide, and it will be more used in many countries as one of the first used currencies.

I thik theres nothing impossible for the bitcoin. In fact, if someone asked you 10 yeras back if a ryptocurruncy could equal 5 k dollar, you will definitely say that it could not happens ever.
To do that,  no one can limit it !!

I think it would be possible because right now it is already adopting by the people and even the government like Japan. It is just a matter of time and everyone even the non believers will use it.

No one knows for sure what will happen, the possibility of bitcoin to be a real currency like the dollar could happen, but I think to make digital currency into real currency many factors are needed and I think it is quite difficult to make a currency is not a physical make there is physical needed sufficient process and facilities.  :)

this is certainly quite possible. currently bitcoin users are very much at all and the growing number of users will increase the world's confidence in bitcoin. I am quite optimistic when I see the bitcoin is currently developing very well. maybe we need a long time to reach this stage, slowly but surely I'm sure this will happen.

Can bitcoin be a world currency? This is depending on what to invest in this concept. If we mean whether it will be used by citizens regardless of the state in which they live, in this respect bitcoin is already a world currency.

I do not think bitcoin can be a world currency. Too many countries in the world are likely to resist bitcoin as the world's currency. Too complicated to make bitcoin as world currency. Simply bitcoin as a digital currency only.

Bitcoin has possibility to become world's currency.
It has advantage to do that such as it don't need bank as mediator to transfer.
We can do easy transfer without borders with low fee.
But, if you mean bitcoin has possibility become world's main currency, i don't think so.
Because bitcoin is a digital money and it doesn't has physical appearance.
What would be happen if internet is shut down? Of course economical world would be disorganized.

I think it is possible that Bitcoin be the world's currency but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Bitcoin has to take a lot of steps to get there competing with other world currency that has been here long before we or even our parents were born. But yeah I think it would be possible specially knowing technology is dominant nowadays.

Yes, it can be a world currency, because it is the money of internet, which isn't owned by any state.

It is a reserve of value, easily tradable.

for my opinion there are not impossible bitcoin  be the worlds currency thats why bankers hate bitcoin as currency because bitcon is treat for the bankers, if the bitcoin use as world currency the the old will close and the bitcoin bank raised, obvously bitcoin are easy to use among others currency for transaction.

I think yes, Because many people around the world use bitcoin and accept bitcoin as means of payment, not in a particular place but in many country around the world.

It's impossible for this to happen, governments will never let it come this far.
And if some government does want to go the crypto way, they can issue their own crypto, which they can actually be in control of.

its not possible because every country should have its own currency and there are people counterfeiting money that should be stop.

We all know that there is a possibility that bitcoin will become our future currency. In addition to that, bitcoin is the new currency and it is also consider as digital money and currency because you can use it in different kind of transactions. Lastly, I think bitcoin will become our best world currency.

Bitcoin is close to what we epitomize as a world currency as you could send anything throughout the world without any hurdle,you really do not need to convert bitcoin in exchanges right now,all you need to do is send the money in bitcoin anywhere in the world and deals can be done quickly and that is what a world currency is required to do and bitcoin does that,so why the distant future when the future is here. ;D

Actually there is a big possibility that bitcoin can be the world's currency. Although we couldnt tell when it will be, because there are many things to consider.

Some are believing and some doesn't believe. I'm realistic with things that has the possibility to happen and I'm pretty sure that bitcoin has a chance to be the world's currency. It's not even specific if it will be a world economy currency, like agreed by each country that can be used globally. The hint is already in our front, that bitcoin is being used by most of us with our transactions globally.

In my opinion if all countries accept bitcoin and starts using it. Then it may happen that Bitcoin can become a common currency like Euro, and that helps in the easy financial transactions between two different nations.

Actually Bitcoin has become one of the world's currencies, If indeed it has formed a consensus between Bitcoin users and governments of countries in the world. because bitcoin has a certain value, and bitcoin that is not affiliated with a country in my opinion is very likely to be used as world currency for trading. Without any affiliation the influence of a country's circumstances to the value of Bitcoin would be so minimal that Bitcoin would be more stable in its exchange rate

I do not think bitcoin will be the world's major currency, because every country has special rules on its government. bitcoin has its own role with the popularity of bitcoin can be used in all countries that have internet services for the special purpose of making it easier for its users to make transactions.

for being the worlds currency there is no doubt on it because it can be

Well, there is a possibility that bitcoin become world currency. In addition to that, as of now it is also consider as a currency because you may use it in different kind of transactions. It is widely used in other country. Lastly, I hope it will become world currency because it is acceptable in some transactions.

For me , there is possibility that this will happen, why not?. But government itself will reject this maybe, because of tax. Bitcoin can be world currency maybe after 10-20 years from now. We cannot predict it, since it is decentralized. But for now, we need to keep our bitcoins , earn and hold it for the future.

Why not? We are in modern days now and people wants to have one currency and so that transactions can be done easily. For example, if you are a traveler and you don't want to have some hassle by converting your dollars into some local currencies because the value are changing due to inflation, market demand, stock exchange and other stuffs. But if you have bitcoin and it's widely accepted, it's a good travel right?

for now it is impossible. for many simple reasons, the number of countries that prohibit the circulation of bitcoin in the country. but not all countries, there are many countries that legalize it.
back to topic. it all depends on the decisive future. may happen in the future, I dont know.

I don't think so, Because currently there are 123 democratic out of 192 and all the leaders accepting one currency can't be established because everyone vary in their point of view and having a currency at word level means power in the hands of few people which can later on exploit the people according to their wish. So bitcoin or any other currency cannot be at world level because it is nearly impossible for every country leader to have a same point of view and to agree with each other.

I think bitcoin can not be used as world currency because bitcoin value is not stable. This will make it difficult for all countries to make bitcoin as the world currency.

I think similar to the other posts. Bitcoin is not stable in its value. Another reason: transactions are not very fast. I am a little bit disappointed, since more countries seem to disallow bitcoin.

To my opinion Bitcoin already is worlds currency because it's used everywhere where people have Internet connection so in theory it could be used in every country in the world without limits. But Bitcoin will never be official currency in any country in the world because it can't replace the fiat currencies and change the basics of worlds economies.

bitcoin does not need to be a worldwide currency to legitimize itself. As far as enough people use it to keep things ticking over nicely, then no problemo. The closest we have to a worldwide currency is the usd.

right now bitcoin is world currencies. you can use bitcoin in all country that don't banned bitcoin, but in some country bitcoin is doesn't have clear status, its mean that country  dont banned bitcoin and dont make policy that bitcoin legal. so in that country you can use bitcoin freedomly

There is really nothing impossible in this world. The route to it might be makes it seems impossible but with faith, tenacity and dedication in no time, it becomes possible in our own eyes and this can be likened to bitcoin which has surpassed several obstacle in the past in which people have casted doubt on its possibility but eventually, it's made possible because of the calibre of people it has been able to attract.

Do you know what's means World's currency? it's means that Main currency of the world. Basically, i think it's may not possible baceause of it is not centralized. It's have not any fix price i mean it's always Up & Down. The Best thing about currency it's physical money but Bitcoin is a Digital currency as well as Virtual coin which haven't any physical money.

The concept of bitcoin on becoming a wolrd currency is quite a big thing if you would consider its price and system. Yet , it has a possibility to achieve it. But for me bitcoin don't need to become a world currency hence, it much more need to become a universal currency un any type or form of transaction in the world. Having the ability to adapt is better way for it to deal with more people and to have bigger community of bitcoin users.

There are several features of the world currency. It's no longer in BTC. Such as notes, liquidity, customs in the country, reserve, preservation etc. So now it's not possible!

Hehe you are right, it is close to world currency looking from that point of view, but we still need to exchange it into dollar or some other currency so we could buy stuff. Very few places in the world allow that kind of transaction, i hope it will be more of that in the future. To buy or sell something in agreement with another person it works great and we can named it as a world currency already  :) 

 many people believe that bitcoin will become our world's currency and I believe it will happen in the future. In addition, it can happen because it is now widely accepted in some countries and they also use it as money they use in different types of transactions.

Yeah for me bitcoin is going to be the future of the bitcoin users. Now a lot of the people are using bitcoin and they are trusting bitcoin blindly now! It is now the legal currency in a lot of the countries like Japan, Hong Kong and USA. The popularity of the bitcoin is increasing gradually so bitcoin can be easily the future of the currency and it is going to become one of the best currencies in the future.

Of course it isnt possible!

It is possible if only all people will unite in a one big country))

To be honest it's not gonna happen. There is no chance for bitcoin to sustain such big responsibility in the future. First of all bitcoin will have to be accepted as physically currency before anyone can trade it because internet has not reached to every corner of the world. With so many population not even 1/4th knows about the bitcoin in any way so I'm wondering how will they react in its publication as worlds cyrrency. Then there is no physical form of it and no working model to do the transaction directly with zero time. Plus very important point regarding bitcoin, is it sufficient enough in the amount to feed the whole world? May be no. It's not Gibbs happen guys.

Ya lot of chance are there for bitcoin to became the world currency. But it takes some more time. At first it will replace the dollar and then the entire currency system and at last the bank system. Since China start to reduce the bitcoin transaction and the price not reduce Less than 3000$.So it will again reaches the old value.

I dont think that bitcoin be the worlds currency because as we can observe nowadays theres a lot of country who still not accepted bitcoin so anyone can say that this will be the world currency. We can possibly say that bitcoin will be the worlds currency if and only if bitcoin is accepted around the world.

Each country may issue their own cryptocurrency in place of bitcoin and fiat currency. However, it needs take a long time for the government to make regulation about issuing cryptocurrency.

.

Sincerely I'm suspecting cryptocurrency is the worldwide currency, but since we have diverse coin now I can't say it will be bitcoin precisely. but it is definitely possible.

May be you are right that bitcoin may not be the crypto digital currency use be all the people of the world. But the experts say that it will be because most of the pople and now some governments also have accepted and regularized bitcoin as their legal currency.

Let’s see what happens in the future. Some people say it will fall and some are saying that it dominate all the currencies digital or paper.

For me, I think it is still better if we still have our own currencies and bitcoin will still just bitcoin, for now, bitcoin is great on its how it grows and maybe making bitcoin as our world currencies is not that easy. We need to adjust if that's happen, people who don’t know bitcoin at all will have a difficulty to use it. I think bitcoin is just good how bitcoin works as of today.

This may be possible in upcoming five year that it can be accepted as global currency this will take time and all this is depending upon the reaction of people of all regions toward bitcoin f they will accept this will happen soon and nobody will create hurdle in its way and that will be more wonderful. The time when it will be global currency everyone will praise it.

I think it could be bitcoin into the world's currency if more and more people and countries are legalizing it. many people are attracted to bitcoin because of its price

I think its possible.  Currency is the heart of trading and transactions and as long as people value it or accepted it for goods and services rendered. And since bitcoin is already accepted by many countries, it satisfies the condition to be the world currency. It just that it is not yet  official.

If so a currency of exchange is already happening but if it becomes a currency of exchange the world may have to be the currency of one of the nsgara

Nowadays bitcoin has become popular and use by many but in terms to be use as worlds currency it wont happen for now. As this has many things to be understood, to be considered and needs to be approved by many and the government. Because bitcoin has already considered to use in anyway like sending and receiving transactions online.

not possible i think but world's accepted currency might happen in sometime since bitcoin is getting famous and accepted by most individual and businesses now. In order to to make bitcoin becomes world currency it should be regulated by some international body which is created by international countries which might not happen since everyone has different views regarding digital currency, and if that happen, bitcoin's price might become stable which is not good for investors since bitcoin itself is their asset generating income.

No, It is not possible, It quiet impossible to become world's currency. I agreed that bitcoin is very profitable and popular digital currency but don't forget that it has many limitations to, It is Decentralized and not legalized all of the countries.
No government likes to Allow a decentralized currency to their country.

Yes is possible that in future Bitcoin will come in future currency and The popularity of the bitcoin is increasing gradually so bitcoin can be easily the future of the currency and it is going to become one of the best currencies in the future.Now a lot of the people are using bitcoin and they are trusting bitcoin blindly now! It is now the legal currency in a lot of the countries like Japan, Hong Kong and USA so it is possible only

Bitcoin is a digital form of currency which has alot of features .Its price is rising and it is highly profitable but i dont think it is possible that Bitcoin can be the world's only currency .As it is decentralized i.e. without any involvement of government so government will not accept it as the currency for financial transactions.Moreover it is not legal in all the countries so it is not possible that it will be accepted as world's currency.

Obviously, it can be possible, day by day Bitcoin is becoming a very popular currency in the digital world. a lot of online shopping platforms are accepting Bitcoin as a payment tool. Not only that but also a couple of countries already allowed Bitcoin as a legal currency, so that it can be predicted that more countries will accept it as a legal currency. so when it will become a legal currency in many countries then it will become also a global currency. i think within 2 or 3 years, Bitcoin will become a global currency.

honestly all bitcoin user hope that happen but the reality is it hard to achieve because bitcoin is just appear in the world just 9 years, compare with fiat money that stand on the world. bitcoin will always be the second currency or maybe just become stock instead of currency

No. Because in every country there is such currecy differently. Bitcoin is only a digital currency that cannot be compliment as only our currency in all countries but it can be popular in all countries. Not only bitcoin is our need but also the other currency that we first know and much better to have at first generations.

Almost no.
Because China already banned Bitcoicoin.
And more of country no permission buy/sell.
Some country legal and some country illegal.
 8)

It is possible when it is accepted by all countries.

Right now it has to be accepted by all country with out any restrictions and it has to be accessible by all retailers and frequent of usage of Bitcoin is only way to accept as a worlds currency.

This reply is to be positive like new bie like me.

There is a possibility that bitcoin can be worlds currency. But of course it would take years before bitcoin can be introduce and to be accepted by the people around the globe. People worldwide should be educated with bitcoin for them to be able to adopt the crypto currency. Otherwise it will be hard for countries to adopt bitcoins if there is no formal education or introduction.

I don't think it will be possible . Making bitcoin world's currency is a very risky step and no government will agree to take this step . Bitcoin is highly volatile , its value decreases and increases which can really effect a country's economy . Moreover bitcoins are not centralized so there will be no limitations on its uses . Bitcoins also does not supports any taxation which is the main reason that will not allow it to become a world's currency . The anonymous identification property of bitcoins will lead to growth in many crimes . So it is not possible.

will always be a long debate. I am not too sure, because every world currency, has a tangible form. is it possible that virtual currency could be part of the world transition?
this is a crazy thing for me. although all of that always has a possibility.

As a global currency it will work awesome there will be no worries about the economy destabilization and I am sure this will happen but this will take time because there are still many regions around the globe who don’t know about this innovation so through proper advertisement attract people to it and this will be automatically declared as global currency as it demand increases.

by sense bitcoin is a cryptography currency. I conclude that bitcoin is already a worlds' currency in a virtual manner and not a fiat which doesn't have a governments trace and tax.

in my opinion it is impossible bitcoin into the world currency because bitcoin is just a digital currency that is not shaped like the currency at the present time that has a shape.

we will always make a never-ending debate. because to make the world's currency very big, it will not be a bit bitcoin will be attacked by some big countries. because of that I don't really think about it like you.

In my opinion, I don't think that this will happen, even if it's after some years. Don't forget that recently some countries tried banning bitcoin or regulating it, this means that a lot more countries will be adopting that habit of either banning it or regulating it in the near future.

The recent incidents which took place concerning bitcoin were just a start, I just feel like there is more to come.

I think bitcoin is world's currency already. It is acceptable in every country and you can travel with bitcoin freely. It is not so long time to wait for bitcoin become admitted as international form of payment. Everything is going to that.

My experience says,  Bitcoin can be the world's most valuable digital coins, but it is not possible that it can be the only currency of the world!

maybe
I'm not an expert to be able to convince you, because I myself am not very confident with what you say ,.
because there are always pros and cons of this, to me the same, bitcoin still useful for my life. whatever people say.

I think so too... I mean right now we can exchange it for goods and services. Cor it to be a currency of a country is not too far. But dont quote me on this. If bitcoin represents the gold reserve of a country or its spending power i think it could happen.

Maybe it's not possible if bitcoins are made in the world currency.
There will be too many negative sides if it happens because no one can set the bitcoin price itself.

I agree, in each country they have their own currency and we cant stick with just one specially btc is a virtual currency. however users of btc are from different countries so we can consider it as world currency in terms of digital. many merchants and online stores are now accepting it as one of payment method and we cant deny the fact that it became popular and the users are increasing.

Actually bitcoin become a worlds currency would be possible, why not? Who would've thought that bitcoin can be made right, and who would've thought that people would accept this bitcoin in our society. So I think bitcoin is never possible to become a worlds currency.

To earned here in bicoin yes it is possible. To trust that bitcoin would be a source of income, yes it is possible. To become bitcoin as a worlds currency, totally yes it wasn't possible. Let's all just see the positive side in every situation. So yes, everything is possible.

It think it would be possible, when all the country around the world accept it. But for now, bitcoin are still on due process of being legally adopted by different country. So, it would be possible but it takes time.
Let's us all wait and see if it would come. And if it does, then I'll be one of the person whom feel happy for that day.

no, many country rejected and not recognize in bitcoin like my country. and you know bitcoin like stuff that can make people rich in some month, and its not like money i think. people can buy anything with bitcoin if they accept the payment use bitcoin

Yes it can but the possibilities now are too small.
Many countries still not know bitcoin and only first world countries has adopted it. This will be a long journey before it got widely accepted as there are many hindrances to make bitcoin as our main currency. And like now, even bitcoin is now really a hit many still see it as a fraud and not yet ready for this new innovation.

In my opinion, Bitcoin will never be a world's currency or even a country currency. For bitcoin is only a digital currency which means it has not appearance. The other reason why it is not centralized, it does not pass through central banks. In addition to that, bitcoin has not been legalized in my country so I think bitcoin would be hard to be a world currency, but I still remember to work the coin dibitcointalk !!

Of course it is possible in the near future. Bitcoin's community is growing up everyday worldwide.  I think it would be possible that bitcoin will be a world's currency.

I think it us more than possible, morover bitcoin is well known in many developed and not developed countries,  i think only goverment has to accept  bitcoin legal.

Does anyone know if bitcoin is dead or alife in China?

No, it is impossible

I think the possibility is there bitcoin could be the worlds digital currency. We cannot eliminate those fiat because of every countries regulation on the paper money. But as a digital currency i think bitcoin can be worlds uniform digital currency.

Bitcoin cant be the world currency

Why you want to make Bitcoin as a World Currency I don't know. It is not possible at all. Because all country has to access Bitcoin then people to should have access to Bitcoin which is immediately not possible.

Hope fully It is possible to make world's people can have access to them.

Most likely it won't became world currency cause replacing fiat would be next to impossible also that fiat also shows its country's economy and strength.But in future, Bitcoin would be legalised and accepted all over the world.Many countries has even started legalizing Bitcoin and it won't be long before it is globally recognised but I don't see any benefit Bitcoin becoming an world currency, Bitcoin are good for online or digital transactions.

Bitcoin can be possibly become a world currency if and only if the government accepts and make it legal. Nothing is impossible when most of the people want it as world currency despite of being decentralized. People make bitcoin so people is also a way do things possible for the currency.

In my opinion it is possible in the future because bitcoin is the first successful cryptocurrency and until the now no once surpass it for long. There are few coins that tries to be equal or surpass the value of bitcoin by they all short live.

Yes would be.  I hope one day bitcoin would be the world number one virtual or digital currency.

No i dont think that  it can be the worlds currency as  it is decentralized i.e governement has no control over it so i dont think that government will accept it as the only currency for financial transactions.

bitcoin will never be the worlds currency there is a possibility to be major transactional element insted of corrency.

Yes your right there are many countries who reject bitcoin .but there are a lot of many countries who accept bitcoin and they are trading in bitcoin it is possible in future bitcoin are accepting worldwide the all of countries and also your country accepted bitcoin one day in they use anything they use bitcoin.it is possible

It will be as by seeing the popularity of bitcoin it will be declared as the global currency of the world just because of this there will be no wars and every country will be depending on this and all this will be implemented if most of world will start using and asks to make it global, and coming era will be of bitcoin so it has a bright future.

all can happen .. because the development of bitcoin very rapidly .. and more and more demand, because more simple and promise .. so I think it could happen because of technological developments, the more sophisticated and simple ..

I think nothing is impossible in this world, but for everything there is a specific time to implement and especially bitcoin which will be the world only digital currency in the near future. So I think that prevailing something all over the world is not so easy.

We all will have to wait and I am sure that one day it will be there in the reach of every person and will use only bitcoin as their regular currency.

Other countries will oppose that idea. but i think it is possible. why? because we already have bitcoin/cryptocurrency ATM. we still dont know whats going to happen in the near future where flying cars exists but at least people who uses cryptocurrency is growing.

Yes I think Bitcoin will be the world currency. Many people say it will not be a world currency because it does not exist, without the internet it is worthless. But I think it does not exist so there is no risk to its safety. Since the Internet has started, it will never be lost. Bitcoin will be the world's currency one day, because its popularity is increasing day by day. People from many countries of the world have been trading with Bitcoin. So it's not impossible.

very difficult will happen. at this time alone there are from some countries want to drop the bitcoin. so it will be a lot of trouble if bitcoin becomes world currency. and of course the bitcoin values ​​tend to be unstable.

Very unlikely, as it would cause more poverty, and strife between countries as the cost of living is different from one another, they will demand to have their own currency that is much easier to control. Daily commodities' price would vary everyday and would probably create trouble along with the consumers/users versus the investors.

i think its not because bitcoin or altcoin is digital currency and bank central for sure they no allow that or consider a world currency..maybe in the world of digital it can happen that bitcoin is the world digital currency but in the world of fiat is not happen...

It is not possible to become a world currency of Bitcoin.
Because there is no guarantee of Bitcoin.
Nobody knows who discovered it.
After 2140, 21 million Bitcoins will not be produced and no new bits will be made.

I think bitcoin will become the world's currency. There are also several coins that can be used in general. The Ripple coins have been working with many governments. I'm very optimistic about it

It is quite possible that bitcoins become the world currency and replace us dollar in the market. Right now, it reigns the crypto currencies so take more years and more people will use bitcoins in their transactions. Once it solved its issue in its value volatility, it can have its position in the world market as both an asset and money.

It is advisable in the future since our technology will inevitable advance towards the digitalized revolution and payments. The only hindrance to this development however, are the countries who are still on the developing stage due to its lacking technological aspects. Those countries are still adapting to the change and are still fixing their respective problems, which technology might not be their main priority. If we make bitcoin the world currency today, those countries wouldn't able to adapt to they system since most of the world's population are still on the poverty level. This would result into chaos in the economy and will further weaken their current state.

Bitcoin is what it is and govt cannot stop or change it - provided we constantly guard Bitcoin security.

Central banks are, however, developing their own private blockchains and they will soon be issuing cryptocurrency fiat to replace anonymous cash and as a means of doing surveillance.

They will sell it to the public as being "based on the amazing blockchain technology". But without open source code, without open participation (mining by anyone), the cenbank blockchain won't be decentralized and tamper-proof - it will be a sham and a coercion, as you describe.

I somehow believe that bitcoins will rule the world but I guess it won't torally be used worldwide since not all countries have access to good internet. Many third world countries suffer from these incoherent internet connection. Plus, fiat money is as powerful as bitcoins. Bitcoin will be the world's digital currency but I think not as a daily money.

I think it is possible but in the far-far future. We won't see it, probably....

bitcoin will rule the online world maybe but i think not on a real world because bitcoin is purely digital and will only work mostly in an online environment and without internet connection i dont think we can use it to buy stuff's offline not unless they can invent an offline version of the blockchain or if someone can invent a physical coin and embed the private keys and wallet address on it. but overall fiat money is still powerful and will never be replace by something digital.

It is possible. I see it now it is slowly becoming the world's currency. You know things nowadays are becoming international. People are becoming international like your mother is asian and your father is european and you become asian only because you are born in asia but technically you are both european and asian. The world is getting smaller and I wouldnt be surprised if the world will have a world wide currency. As of now the Us Dollars is kind of the world's currency but it is not ideal because the Americans are using it to control other countries or to impose their will on the countries that are weak agaisnt the dollars.   

bitcoin could be the world's currency, but not for now, maybe in the future, a few years later. in view of the development and the increasing number of bitcoin users from various countries, so I think bitcoin has the opportunity to become the world's currency.

Absolutely not, bitcoin is volatile while physical do not. Maybe it could be a trading currency but it will not be a world currency and remember that bitcoin is only virtual it can disappear anytime soon

That's quite cool when bitcoin can be global currency. but, i don't think that is possible in some region that have lack of knowledge of this technology development. and i don't think all people are ready to accept bitcoin as global currency too. #CMIIW

No this will never happen because bitcoin only exist in the internet. Bitcoin will never replace fiat on each country. We can say that bitcoin is the main currency in crypto world. But if bitcoin become world currency it only start war on each country.

I think that it is possible, and I believe that it will happen one day. Bitcoin was made with idea of becoming world currency one day, and its properties have what it takes. Few changes over the time has made Bitcoin even better. Transactions are faster and cheaper, more and more people start using Bitcoins for paying and not just holding. A lot of people support Bitcoin and using it for trading. I think that Bitcoin has made huge change to how people see currency, so it is possible that one day Bitcoin becomes world currency.

I think, bitcoin has become global currency. Because, we aren't constrained by type currency of any country. We are free to exchange bitcoin in whatever form we want.

Yeah, it is possible, since bitcoin now is very popular and a digital currencies that can be use all over the world. It can be use whenever we are so it is really possible to happen. It is also accepted almost all of people since bitcoin is a BIG help to everyone. So it is possible to happen but I still want that fiat will stay.

Popularity won't be enough to propel bitcoin past fiat and i don't.think the time is near when fiat will relinquish it's supremacy. Though it's evident that many people are keen on using bitcoin already so it may become a main form of doing transaction in a few years

No, because even simple mining requires powerful machines that most people cannot afford. That's reason one. Reason two is that accepting BTC needs infrastructure all over the world. Most countries won't bother building it.

If you mean Global currency this is happen from start bitcoin (you can send your bitcoin all over world)
if you mean will be only  currency (No paper money) paper money is strong enough to survive next 100 years .

if you mean Only Virtual Money yes most of altcoins will end next 20 years (except ETH and litecoin )

yes I think it can, but it takes a very deep consideration for it. because there needs to be a clear rule for the change of world currency to be better, not vice versa.
but the world currencies are now in use, I think it will be difficult to replace with bitcoin. because if replaced, of course many who feel harmed about it especially the founders and developers of world currencies now.

nothing is impossible in this world friend if we want to try with the bronze I'm sure it can happen !!

Bitcoin is the future, I just hope somehow political factors won't cripple the existence of cyptocurrencies in general

it may happen, but I think it's quite difficult so for that bitcoin requires people who want to follow bitcointalk forum. from that bitcoin will be more developed very rapidly, and move forward.

countries have rules, and bitcoin has no rules. I think it can not be a world currency. bitcoin like gold. very valuable but can not be a currency. bitcoin works like a credit card.

I think anything can happen, I'm sure someday bitcoin be the world's currency? the proof is that bitcoin users continue to rise drastically making me confident about the future of bitcoin.

Someday it might happen because everything is done with technology nowadays and we all know that bitcoin uses blockchain technology that can make transaction fast. But i think it will take time for that to happen or maybe it wont happen at all.

In the future it is possible, but now it is unlikely because the currency is not stable. I would not, for example, change the gold on BTC with the expectation that BTC will become the world currency.

of course it will possible but for now i think bitcoin is trying to become globally by reaching more people to use bitcoin and they are really curious about bitcoin. i think in future, if many government is approve bitcoin and people is using bitcoin in many places then bitcoin can be global currency and maybe bitcoin will become as new currency in the world.

Might be possible in the far future, because it's not possible today. We need more advanced technology to monitor each transactions and to distribute bitcoin fairly among people. All people should be aware of it before this can happen.

One day it’s possible. I give it 20%

It seems to me it can not, but it will become very popular. Each country wants to have their own crypto currency, the same example of the Russian Federation wants to develop its own and there will begin competition between countries.

its possible yeah many thinks will happens about bitcoin in the future about the nice of the price of every bitcoin in the market but changed the price dropped low but waiting we increased them..many possible the bitcoin will lose the money value. maybe in the future bitcoin will use pay everything is that my opinion

I don't think so. For sure there will be many people around the world who would disagree to that idea because we always need internet connection in bitcoin.

It would be good it it could be a worldwide currency but it would still create problems. 7 billion plus people sharing 21 million coins. The price is very volatile where hundreds can be lost or gained in hours.

It is possible, actually there's a high possibility that it may happen but not in a few years, I think it may take time. We all know that there are lots of government, not to mention strong countries who opposes the use of Bitcoin, you know why (decentralized right?), but I believe they don't have a choice, sooner or later they will adopt to it like countries who did.

Countries are adopting bitcoin so Yes, bitcoin is the next currency of the future. and I would love to see it in the next 5-10 years of my life. the thing here is we should unite each other and spread the love of bitcoin..

Well people are harboring that belief but i don't think it can become a global currency at least in  the near future because there is still majority of people in the world who know nothing about bitcoin and not to talk about its usage. The newer generation might be interested and will use bitcoin on the large scale but ours i doubt if it can be a global currency yet.

Yes it is really poasible to happen, wspecially wheb people will gonna continue to support it, and prove to the government that bitcoin is a good thing and helps life to be easy to people, and so they will believe on it and make it a real currency.

bitcoin is already a world's currency that have used in whole the world and people around the world recognize bitcoin. but the main problem is that not all of countries recognize bitcoin or accept bitcoin as legal so bitcoin can not be used in some countries.

if you hope that bitcoin will be the one and only currency in the world, i will convince you that it is very hard to reach, since all countries have their own regulation and their currency reflect how strong they are (in economical aspect).

Even bitcoin helps many individual to earn money and it proves the government, still the government need to create local currencies. Bitcoin has nothing to do with the government because bitcoin users do not pay taxes for the reason that they earn from it. Bitcoin cannot be a real currency which can be use for everyday payment because of the price volatility.

Maybe but it will take years to happen if the world will 100% adopt the computer age system or a 100% using computer system. As you can see now not all nations are using computers, many are still cant adopt the computer and the digital technology specially the poor countries because of their weak economy in which they cant afford to upgrade their system to the most advance technology in which is very vital to digital transactions.

yes it is possible that bitcoin is very good to earn a lot of money

Why not! I think after 10 years from now, Bitcoin will be a payment system used for sending and receiving money online.

No. Especially the communist countries like china, they banned bitcoin. And I think the government won't allow that. Bitcoin has a lot of contibutions in our latest technologies but many people will disagree with that modern currency.

No, even though it was popular still it wont be a world's currency. It will remain as a virtual currency, the fact that almost all government around the world doesnt accept it as a rule of payment so how can it be a worlds currency. Bitcoin has a lot of thing to improve and develop. Even fiat was still a good thing tonused than bitcoin because it was 100% safe and secure than in bitcoin. But I believe that bitcoin will have a big contribution to the world.

Yes, it's very possible, and it won't take too long.
Now this era. Paper money is very easy to devalue, and people don't want to hold too much paper money. But other commodities are not easy to hedge. So bitcoin is the best way

I think the government won't allow it.  They won't have full control over Bitcoin and i'll be hard for them to tax people because of the anonymity of the user. So I think it's a no for me.

is it possible ? ??? ??? ???

Not only possible, but certainly more than likely.
Because, many have proven successful in bitcoin.


 8) 8) 8).....

Yes i really believe bitcoin can be the world currency.
It even like that already. Many people all over the world turning to bitcoin day by day.
I was aware of bitcoin or anything called crypto currencies like 2 years ago. But now, many people are getting familiar with it everyday and i believe it can be the world currency.

Can not everyone have it, only rich people can have BITCOIN, what about poor countries? will be difficult to materialize and will be like petroleum is always noisy, do not let happen because Bitcoin people so fighting..

I think your thinking is so short to say, everyone can have Bitcoin as long as they intend and know about Bitcoin, because I think Bitcoin is very helpful to all those who have economic keris or who have not yet got a job, with them looking for Bitcoin and getting it, they will be able to buy everything they want.

No its not yet the global currency as you are stating here. Just because you can use it the way you want doesn't mean you can give it status of global currency. Have you considered Gold as global currency after all its market cap and use in the world? I guess no, so thats smile bitcoin is not the currency of world yet. Its not even reached to half of the population in the world and most of them know about it but don't dare to use to for many of the reasons. It has to grow more and be a entity recognised by all governing bodies, then we can speak about the global status of the bitcoin as currency.

This can happen, but it takes a long time, because to realize all it takes the process and government involvement, currently Bitcoin is still a debate in the governments of countries that are worried about the existence of Bitcoin.

It won't happen.  One of the biggest obstacle would be Bitcoin being decentralized.  If you check the current news about countries and Bitcoin, most country that recognized Bitcoin as currency or mode of payment already run into trouble of regulating it.  They (government) need to centralized the authority or else things will get out of the governments hand and that is what the government does not want to happen.  I believe the technology will be adopted but bitcoin will always be use as an alternative.

Yes it could be in the virtual community but no its can't be according to the regulatory authorities. It doesn't carry that much potential, I mean the potential in terms of fulfilling the needs of whole national economic system. This is very huge and as we know there is no limit on which government keeps printing the dollar bill! What about the bitcoin which is limited and off which 6% is in the possession of the Satoshi Sir! I mean do you really think that it would be currency of the world before these complications can be solved? We will see that soon as it approached the near future.  :)

Everything is possible in this world. Nothing is impossible. It is the choice of all the people which currency they want to use and why?  Many people in the world still do not know the name of crypto currency and they do not have any idea to invest in some crypto currency for our future, because they do not believe in digital currency. But it is possible that in the near future they also start using cryptocurrency.

Yes I also think that there should be more than one currency, the reason is that if someone dominates it and change the price of it according to his own will, then what the other people of the world will do? That’s why you are right that there should be more than one currency in the world. It is not about disrespecting anyone in this forum we are just giving our suggestions and the rest leave on the people to decide.

No, It's never possible. Bitcoin will never be a world currency. Bitcoin is the most popular and valuable currency at the present time. Day by day the popularity and price increase will not assume that Bitcoin will be the world currency.In any way a country will not recognize Bitcoin as its primary currency. That is the real thing we have to accept.

maybe someday it will work together with real money, if bitcoin work beside real money it will makes our day is beautiful because there are many offline stores that accept bitcoin, we don't afraid if we don't bring our wallet, because wi can buy something wth bitcoin ( with our smartphone and internet accecss )

Maybe it could become a world currency in future in my own opinion. If it's would happen then it'll become a great opportunity to the world of digital currency. It'll be also a great deal to all users, investors, and traders of digital currency or cryptocurrency. It'll become also a great opportunity to the worlds of cryptocurrency because it could help more on world's problem regarding the worlds currency. Less hassle and less worries.

I agree, for me it is impossible to happen becauae of the fact that bitcoin was not accepted by the government as a real money. Bitcoin was just a virtual currency which we can used online. Also because not everyone know what bitcoin is so Government wont let it to be the worlds currency. There are many thing that need to be consider before it become as a real currency and worlds currency. Not everybody wants bitcoin and even they knew it they still wont used it because they think that it is scam and its also one reason about that.

Bitcoin is already a global currency which in turn is driving many other global crypto currencies.

Will Bitcoin be the global currency? Who knows.

We just need to know that it is what it is right now; a highly secure global P2P network of value and commerce, outside the control of central government and central banking. That is the true existing value, no question about it!

the only way for government to control bitcoin is to turn off the electricity/internet. If that happens then we have much bigger problems than bitcoin.

until then bitcoin will very likely continue show the way into a new world of personal finance and commerce.

This is issue of government policy. BTC will never be global currency if men who make main decisions in the world don't won't accept it.

This is the main thing why bitcoin cant really be considered to be a main currency knowing that it is a decentralized stuff which it cant really be considered to be adopted and become legal. It would really just remain as an alternative same as you said. It may progress but it would really just  remain on its place with its own purpose. For now this thing it isn't possible at all.

This is the inherent beauty of bitcoin; it is outside the control of the tyranny of central banking and government.

Bitcoin is already a global P2P currency. The true value of the Bitcoin is only just beginning to be understood: "freedom from tyranny" of the war mongering governments and central banking systems which seek to enslave the populations of the world.

The jig is up. We are witnessing the next evolution of the internet, which is bigger than the internet itself!

It's not up to them. Bitcoin is peer to peer which means the people who use currency are the ones making the decisions. If enough people use it then it could become a viable alternative to fiat.

No i guess.i mean maybe it will get the accptance but i dnt think everyone will like it and accept it as the worlds currency just like dollar.i dnt know actually.maybe it can possible

In the world of Bitcoins everything is possible. This is a strange phenomenon, but I think it is still possible. If you are not sure, do not ever trust anyone else because there are many people who want to use you.

Impossible.
In order that something to become worlds currency it has to be a new technology and a great thing with many advantages. Bitcoin is not even close to that. Money are so easy to spend, you can spend it absolutely anywhere and there is no fee for using money. I think money its just something you cannot replace because they are used since year 500 and there are so many in the whole world.

bitcoin can be the world's currency, as bitcoin users continue to grow so that the price increase is very high, and the more countries that legalize bitcoin, in the future bitcoin could become the world's currency

Any economy moves with inflation, money is constantly getting cheaper and this makes people spend it, and bitcoin will stagnate into the economy, and it's even worse, people will not just waste bitcoins because they always go up, it's not clear how the balance will be found ???

Yes, It is possible the bitcoin currency become global currency but  I think its never replace the FIAT as the primary currency of a country. There's still a lot of development/improvement and problem that must be done using bitcoin like its volatility,technology,safety and forks problem and long bitcoin processing time.

It is possible that Bitcoin has become a global currency which in turn drives many other global Cryptocurrencies.
Until then, Bitcoin will most likely continue to point the way to a new world of personal finance and trade.

it already is, however only between geeks and crypto-lovers.

It think not because the total number of coin is capped and it would have a hard time supplying it worlwide though I believe that there is a great possibility for bitcoin to be the main currency used worlwide in every internet transactions and most services. Each world's currencies has history backing it up and it carries its national identity in the market and economy status which I think is another barrier if bitcoins was to be classified as a world currency unless every nations become one then maybe it may really happen in the future.

For me it is a NO because bitcoin has only a 21 million supply and it will not be enough to use by all the people around the world. Unlike fiat money that you can produce anytime you like, if bitcoin reached the 21M its the limit. Another problem is the slow transaction. Some transactions if not all are too slow sometimes it takes many hour or days.

I think it would be very hard for Bitcoin to become the world's currency if it was not corrected. The adjustment here is the decentralization, if you keep the essence of it, almost no one will be able to control or manage it. Since then the social evils are increasing, the economy is in serious crisis. So it may be a revolution to re-adjust Bitcoin or create a new digital signature that replaces it completely.

That is probably inevitable. But with the digital age of today, the BTC becomes a world currency is entirely possible.

I think it is a big yes, bitcoin can be a world's currency because of its value and because of its popularity and everyone wants to use it just like me.

I believe so. Actually if you haven't noticed yet, btc can be considered a world's currency already. Wherever you are in the world it can be accepted by people who knows it and is also investing/trading in it. If you have bitcoins there's no need to worry wherever you go especially in a place that it is widely accepted. You don't have to go to a money exchange if you are in a different country that only accepts their own currency. It's only a matter of time for it to be officially considered as world's currency. But don't be confused here. My statements are solely for btc acceptance globally and not to replace any currency because that will really take too long to happen.

I don't believe that it will be the main source of money, but it can be among the top ones.

It can be possible only when all countries legalize it and provide a stable connection of internet to the far flung areas of their land, educate people about bitcoin and let their institutions and restaurants and shops to accept in bitcoin, though bitcoin is easy to be transferred gives quick and high results but internet provision is necessary for all this.

With its popularity and use the problem of internet will also be solved and then its golden era will begin in which bitcoin will lead all other currencies

No absolutely not.
There will be always some people to oppose this .
Also what about other crypto currency ?
Like dash which is way more advanced than bitcoin if you see the technical side.

Not in the near future
We've been using fiat for a lot of decades, it is surely tough to beat
The other problem is bitcoin cannot be reissued unlike fiat, it will be to damn expensive as world population grows

in my opinion, it could be bitcoin into world currency. but bitcoins have to face obstacles in the past as world currencies.

No. I dont think that bitcoin can really to be world currency.
Bitcoin has big power i know, but its not enough to make it as the world currency.

Possible but something it is very difficult at this moment.There are many debates about Bitcoin is legal or illegal i know it is not legal for all countries only some countries have got legitimacy my idea as much.

I thought yes because when you research some of information someday you the cryptocurrency was declare one world currency which is we didnt use any hard copy money or any country money was remove and it change the cryptocurrency to be come a one world currency and every country using this kind of coins.

For me, bitcoin is a currency. But it will not become the world's currency, because I am sure that the government will not approve to become bitcoin a world's currency. Because bitcoin is an online currency or digital currency, it cannot touch by your hands only your online account (online wallet) can touch it. As long as bitcoin is TAX FREE the government will never approve to become it as the world's currency.

Maybe but i think it will take years or maybe a century to make this happen because for now the whole world is not ready of this type of transaction in which all the people will need to learn the digital technologies and computer literacy so that they could do digital transactions in which vital for the digital currencies. Most nations specially the 3rd world countries are cant afford to pay such education and technology advancement for their use as we know technologies are always for sell if a certain country will going to learn such advancement.

I don't think so. First of all, there are lots of currencies from different countries. Also, it is not yet even recognized and legal to most of the countries. And knowing that it is decentralized, i highly doubt that it will be the world's currency. I am thinking that it will coexist with regular currencies in the future but won't be the only currency to be used because that's really impossible for the world to have only one currency.

I don't think so because government will not allow this to happen

Currently not, but it has a possibility. On my opinion, bitcoin is now currently a world currency since we are exchanging in bitcoins. We use bitcoin as a mode of payment here. But still, it is not yet accepted by the majority given its predicament. We can think of it as a currency for a certain lobby or we could say the main in a game, where players are from different countries gather.

Not sure about this but for me it will not happen. Btc can be used as a currency when purchasing or transacting online but it cannot be the world's currency. That will be kind of complicated you know. We are so far from that to happen. And let's not forget the government who will never let this happen for sure. And not to mention the banks!

Bitcoin being the world currency is possible, if the entire governments around the globe understand the goodness that's incorporated into bitcoin. Now this has been described as an universal currency as it can be converted to any fiat. So, the change had got initiated and if this continues can expect bitcoin to be world currency.

Nope, adopting a super currency like bitcoin while replacing anything else wouldn't work as different countries have it's own currency that represents their value and identity as well. Replacing them would bring harm - small countries would die. It's better to treat BTC like 'Internet money' like how Japan announced them as, if you are thinking bitcoin would worth millions each that would be naive and it wouldn't reach that status as long people are treating them as investment rather than fiats. It's still far for bitcoin to be accepted for trade throughout the world as the main economies are still tied closely with fiat pairs.

I don't think that this is possible...as said above, the government won't allow this...and it seems to me that it is not convenient for everyon...it is necessary to use the moment now, the future is not known to us...and there can be many options with a cryptocurrency

In our generation, I guess it is impossible but in the next generation, there will be no doubt.  I said so, because, in our generation, technology, specifically the internet is still on the process of conquering to reach all over the world.  There are still areas here in the Philippines specially the provinces where there is no internet connection. So, how can bitcoin become world currency while we know that it is a crypto currencies.  But I believe that what we have planted now in the bitcoin world and how we support bitcoin will be reaped by the  next generation where bitcoin will be the world's currency.

 :) Hi wawan99, in my point of view, there is a little chance of a possibility that bitcoin could be the world currency due to different countries laws and regulation regarding the cryptocurrency. If I'm not mistaken, seven countries prohibit our popular bitcoin. But even lifted; the government is still hesitant to promote or support the use of bitcoin which will ultimately block its way to be the world currency. However, given the fact that in ancient times people use gold as currency and as we can see today people use fiat money that makes us definitely to think that bitcoin could do the same.  ;)

yes but in my speculation theres a chance in the future bitcoin can change fiat because of its high value now adays. I think in my opinion if bitcoin didn't hide identity of any transaction of person maybe theres a possibility that goverment allow bitcoin to replace fiat or maybe some neither country accepts also bitcoin. even before when the time bitcoin value surpass the value of gold. But sad to say bitcoin has a lot of bad things happened thats why some of the country decline bitcoin.

A world currency need to have a great stability and bitcoin cannot give that. It is decentralized and can also be used for illegal purposes. Bitcoin today is just a form of investment, a material for trading, an asset. It is hard to change the way many people see bitcoin because of its characteristics especially the high price increase rate, the volatility, which is a characteristic of a coin that is suitable for profitable purposes, trading and investments.

I hope in the future bitcoin won't be hacked

Maybe right now the Government are still hesitating about it, but the right time will come and the Government will make bitcoin the world's currency that we are going to use. I don't care actually because I don't have any complaints about using fiat, it is just fine how things are working, so I'm in the neutral position on making bitcoin as the world currency.

Personally, my opinion - of course, will be able to do it all because computer equipment and the Internet are increasingly entering our life and the use of electronic money should soon almost completely replace paper, which also need to be printed. And with such a powerful safety of electronic money as the military technical cooperation does not exist anywhere.

There is a chance for being a medium of world currency but never as a world currency.Bitcoin is a digital currency which fluctuating it's price every single minute , so this kind of digital currency can't be act as a world currency.

I dont see that happening at all especially since some countries have outright banned bitcoin.

bitcoin is a very unique and interesting hold of value, but because of its versatility other countries will see it as competing with their own currency and like mentioned above have banned it.


I can see the value of bitcoin going up and peaking around when the last bitcoins are mined. What happens to its value at that time depends on its popularity compared to other alt coins and the alt coin market altogether

in my own knowledge, its impossible that bitcoin will be the world currency. it give us a huge income at there price, but still bitcoin is a digital currency for us. you need some trading market site to convert it in our own money.

May be yes, Bitcoin is very powerful, with the value of Bitcoin, it is dominating the virtual world, and perhaps soon it will dominate all other currencies and replace them ... Bitcoin can become the world's currency :o

oh yes. I see it very good. because it can help me for daily expenses
 ;) ;)

I don't think bitcoin can become the world's currency .
Bitcoin is not of physical reality that is why many people will probably not accept and understand it. It also depends on how many governments actually accept bitcoin and consider it legal and most of them nowadays are considering to ban it . So it is pretty difficult that bitcoin will become world's currency . Bitcoin is not unlimited , which also acts as a barrier to attain  this goal.

Coming back after long time is very good in this forum. Well, no bitcoin can’t be worlds currency because it has got big disadvantage of decentralisation. Yes, it is disadvantage when we speak about it in the form of worlds currency because this nature fluctuates its value a lot making it very very volatile currency.

In any nation, such currency can not do very well to make the stability of economy within the circulation. There could be instant crash in the bitcoin price and this can lead to instant economic crisis too. This is why no government will adopt it as national currency in fist place and this is why it may not get accepted in the whole world as world’s currency status.

Yes it can be but it cannot exist alone because there is no perfect unity in the world we can co exist with just respecting the belief of others and that is healthy no need to push singularity for all thing are good and we'll be better with all of us helping each other thats same with bitcoin and fiat

In my point of view, Bitcoin won't never ever be a world's currency or even a country currency and For bitcoin is only a vitual and digital currency which means it doesn't have appearance. The other reason why it can't be a world's currency is, it is not centralized. In addition to that, bitcoin is not subjected to tax but still government can impose tax to bitcoin if ever they want to and many other issue will be arised regarding this matter.

Yes, It have the potential to become the world's currency, because it is usable with all people around the world. Also, nowadays bitcoin become more popular in all countries, and they know that it have a very high price, that's mean if they invest on it, they can earn a lot of money in few months later, so people will buy and then the price will increase more. I think after few years, bitcoin will be the main cryptocurrency used in the world with the local currency.

nothing is impossible and with the status of bitcoins in todays market, I could say that it has a high chance that it will happen.

I don't think it can be world's currency. Governments will not let this happen. At least not in our century.

It would be good it it could be a worldwide currency but it would still create problems. 7 billion plus people sharing 21 million coins.

I think there is a great possibility for bitcoin to be the world's currency,
because at this time very many bitcoin users around the world.
in addition to functioning for sale and purchase transactions as a substitute for money, bitcoin can also provide benefits for the owner.
so if you ask is it possible?
the answer is possible.

I am not sure. may never happen, because every country has its own currency. but it can happen if every country or people have internet access. but now there are still many poor countries that can not access the internet.

Perhaps, but the government of the countries will not give, understanding what it is and what mechanism it can be. Therefore, we see most of the prohibitions in the countries. So most likely everything will collapse in a few years, after the bans of large countries.

why not?

This is for sure thing that in future bitcoin will be known as the global currency because this coin has a lot of potential and bitcoin has already proved its worth on top if it market cap has gone far and his shows that mostly people are relaying on this coin and this coin has potential to give a lot to investors and that’s the most fascinating thing about btc so invest and prepare for the future to enjoy and earn.

Bitcoin can be in the world. However, abiding by certain obligations. Because the use of Bitcoin has increased so much that it does not have much to say.

its a NO, because bitcoin is digital currency only, government will not allow it, and if will that happen the government will force to impose a tax the bitcoin.

I can hardly imagine Bitcoin becoming a world currency. As a matter of fact, until now Bitcoin is still struggling to become essentially a currency. It is like the people are 50% treating Bitcoin as a currency and the other 50% is treating Bitcoin as an asset. And even with this equation, the 50% that treats Bitcoin as a currency is using Bitcoin very seldom and to a selected shopping outlet only. I think the very bullish growth of Bitcoin's value is the main reason why people are holding instead of spending Bitcoins. 

I agree on your opinion that bitcoin will never be a world's currency or even a country's currency because bitcoin is not centralized and there's only a plenty of people that know's bitcoin throughout the world. But on my opinion that if all of the people in one country know's about bitcoin I think its possible but I also think that its impossible if all the people of that country knows about bitcoin.

Yes it would be possible if it will be supported by central banks and the government. As soon it will take time to be supported by government and continuously increase on its price and stability. It is not possible for bitcoin to overcome other currencies.

No its not, Fiat cannot be changed by a digital currency because not everyone has the capability to earn bitcoins like low class level families. It will be a huge chaos when they change the world's currency to digital because not everyone will really agree in this kind of system.

My answer is no. It is hard to Bitcoin becomes world's currency. There are many old people who can't use the Internet don't like Bitcoin.

It will work together with real money, if bitcoin work beside real money it will makes our day is beautiful because there are many offline stores that accept bitcoin, we don't afraid if we don't bring our wallet

No i don't thing it can become/possible to be the world's only currency. First of all not everyone aware about the bitcoin especially crypto currencies. Second if you open the list you'll find some countries who is not accepting the bitcoin most of them banned the use of btc like china and south Korea. Third there's not control and its untraceable and in last bitcoin is involve with illegal and criminal activities so its hard to become world's currency. Even though there are lot of benefit of bitcoins but the factors mentioned above are real hurdles for bitcoin.

Personally , Bitcoin can become the world's currency, the problem is just time

If we are talking technically then Bitcoin is already a world's currency. Anyone from any corner of the world can send and receive Bitcoin using his wallet if he is having basic necessities such as an internet-enabled smartphone/pc. There are no legal issues yet in most of the countries. However, practically it will take more time (probably 5 to 10 years) for Bitcoin to be a mainstream thing and surpass the volume of other payment processors. It is still in the development phase and hitting new records every day so I don't think that it will take more than a decade to conquer the international fund transfer industry.

I think bitcoin can become the world's currency? It is mainly dependent on governments of countries around the world and large companies like microsoft, etc .. that is probably the decisive factor.

It's already a world currency in a way

Because the bitcoin isn't supervised by world countries, for now, it can't be a world currency.
If the countries start to supervise it and stop illegal doings, then it might be.

Not until you can use it as a payment in your local shops.
I believe it's rather like a gold. It has value and limited supply? but noone use it as a payment.

It would be a worldwide currency yes.but wont took over the physical money.because cash will always matter even in our cyber years.electricity will always the big problem and the internet for virtual payment not like in cash or physical money is always available anytime all the time

The number of Bitcoin users are increasing day by day and it has the potential to be the global currency in future.

I think it is alreasy worldwide currency but the currency that is used for investments) Local currencies are used in every country. And currently not all people have internet or BTC wallets so BTC can not be used for payment purposes at global level.

Bitcoin is already world wide but not all people worldwide are able to use it or know about it. I have been able to send money to a lot of countries with bitcoin when i am looking for services online and so i think unless there isn't no internet bitcoin is everywhere there is internet.

It seems unlikely because bitcoin is a virtual currency. Bitcoin is in use by people in many nations but bitcoin will not be the world's currency. Bitcoin will only be as valuable as gold, its value is so high and it is a very good investment.

This is entirely possible, but it will only remain that states began to control this and that it would become legal. It takes a long time to do this :-\

currently bitcoin users continue to grow and bitcoin prices continue to rise, but that does not mean bitcoin can be a world currency, for me that possibility exists but still requires a long process in making it happen :)

Bitcoin is digital currency use for investment but it convert to cash in all type of currency in different countries. Bitcoin is use in many countries now it is very popular. But cannot be a world currency.

Bitcoin is too slow for that - it is a great storage of wealth but that is about it.

in my perspective, there is somewhat shot of a probability that bitcoin could be the world cash because of various nations laws and direction with respect to the digital currency. In case I'm not mixed up, seven nations restrict our famous bitcoin. Be that as it may, even lifted; the legislature is as yet reluctant to advance or bolster the utilization of bitcoin which will at last piece its approach to be the world cash. Be that as it may, given the way that in old circumstances individuals utilize gold as cash and as should be obvious today individuals utilize fiat cash that makes us unquestionably to feel that bitcoin could do likewise

I think we can not tell if the bitcoin will be the world's currency, but there is a possibility that it will happen. Because if you look at it the value of bitcoin was high, and that value will increase in the next few years. And when it happens bitcoin can be the world's currency, and I hope that would happen in the future.

It is imposible to use bitcoin as a world currency. Because not all people can use bitcoin. And bitcoin is so high as of this days. Its hard for people to use bitcoin in their daily lives.

I do not think so. The bitcoin blockchain technology is too backward and can not meet the needs of the world. Only 8M per block. While the cost per transaction can be up to $ 30

It is true that the price of bitcoin continue to rise we can see how much it has grown from the past couple of months, we can see from the starting of this year until now that it has a big difference when it comes to bitcoin's price. I think it is already a world's currency but lets say it is the world's cryptocurrency, because that is how it is being defined by people around the world.

Do not be too naive, bitcoin is still in its infancy. And defeating the world's money is very difficult, they are supported by their respective countries while bitcoin is not. But the opportunity will arrive in about 10 years.

The countries will not accept bitcoin because bitcoin is not that centralized or can be controlled by their will so it will be hard or difficult for bitcoin to get accepted and only countries that are risk takers will accept bitcoin as a currency. Bitcoin is maybe one of the best option to have right now but it is very impossible for the countries to just accept it without doing a lot of investigation.

I dont think so. because after all everyone needs fiat currency.
whatever the reason we will still need a real means of payment. but if to become a global payment instrument on the internet I agree and will definitely happen in the future.

May be one day bitcoin is the word currency. Because of technical currency bitcoin is too much easy to carry and it is also to payment. So i think one day people use it too much. Then bitcoin make the world currency.

I doubt that this is possible. It is unlikely that the country will want to remove the national currency, it is necessary for the country's economy.

at the moment it is impossible in my opinion...it is necessary to implement some improvements...at least to make it so that the transaction lasted less...but there are no options to solve it

It may happen.. I guess, If all country will unite and have the same idea to make Bitcoin the only currency in the whole world. If they will make it happen for sure they will make bitcoin decentralized so they can manipulate the currency's value and know all the transaction that we make. But I think there will be a lot of Bitcoin holder's that will get angry on the idea that Bitcoin will be decentralized and their transaction will be seen by other person.

Although there are some site or establishment that accept bitcoin as mode of payment I think it cannot be a world's currency because we can't use bitcoin offline and also it is just an intangible currency.

Also we can't tell whether bitcoin will last forever.

I believe bitcoin already is world currency ,later will be more popular

I think it's not possible for bitcoin to be a world's currency or even a nation's currency. Each country around the world has their own currency and some of it symbolizes a nation's democracy. For a virtual currency to subsitute a currency that is part of a country's background and culture, that's not gonna happen.

Well i don't think btc could be the world currency although its used everywhere and popular but it's unstable value would be a great problem also the huge countries like USA and the european countries won't allow it cuz it will affect badly their economics and their influance on other countries also the high value of btc against the low value of their currency could even  lead  to a war against btc in case it concures the whole world

I think its not because bitcoin is digital currency and bank central for unqualified they no come clean that or manage a world of digital it can happen that bitcoin is the world digital currency but in the world of fiat is not happen.

It could be possible but not in our generation.
If one nation pushes to become a world currency at this generation it will causes chaos.
Other factor that it will not happened in near future because not all people (Majority) have an access in the digital world.

this could happen if the bitcoin is stable and the total supply of bitcoin in multiply, because if the total bitcoin is limited then the price will be more expensive because many want to have bitcoin. setau my total bitcoin supply only 21,000,000 bitcoin.

No, it will not, never will. Bitcoin may be growing, but bitcoin will also remain like this, being the virtual currency that it is today. World currencies, meaning all countries use bitcoin as their currency is not it? So the answer is no. If bitcoin is accepted worldwide, it is still possible, but if the whole world uses bitcoin as a currency then never.

Although bitcoin is the first coin of the world, it is hard to become the world currency. Becauce you can see, it has many disadvantages about block size, transaction speed.,...unless the devs can solve that problems

At present BTC is already world currency  :) you can use it almsot everywhere and BTC is known alost everywhere. It is one of the most popular currency in the world as US dollar.

It is very possible to happen because basically bitcoin was created to be a free financial transaction medium wherever and whenever. Currently bitcoin is moving very well, although there is a decrease in price but it will not reduce our confidence in bitcoin. The future is coming soon and bitcoin can be the most used thing after the real currency in the world.

Bitcoin is becoming popular through time by it's good features that states like using a currency as a free individual. It is decentralized and quite not that anonymous. But with a lot of users all over the world, I think bitcoin now is becoming the global currency since it is used as a payment by a lot of people all over the world. Not only sending bitcoin in your country but bitcoin is also sent outside the country.

if being a world currency seems impossible. but for the purpose of the bus to match the world's currency.

It is not possible to say accurately, but Bitcoin has high potential for future coins. Recently, it has become popular in the world, recognizing Bitcoin as legitimate in several countries. People are investing in it. Bitcoin demand is increasing in the market.

Am not sure that that assumption is going to be positive because Bitcoin is a digital currencies spent across the world with no instrinsic value and it's not visible.
Another reason is that not all people are educated and it's make it difficult to handle cryptocurrency.

I don't know for sure whether bitcoin can be a real currency. In my opinion, bitcoin already has its own unique status, and people can easily use it to transfer and pay for it.

I think that's very likely to happen. Now that there are many countries around the world that accept bitcoin, I think there will be more and more countries accepting bitcoins in the future. When all countries in the world accept bitcoin, bitcoin will become a global currency, but I think it will not happen in a short time, and we need to wait a long time.

Yes maybe because no one can really tell the bitcoins are really having a great time spreading their name all around the world so it is not impossible that one day they will gonna be the worlds currency but also maybe not because they are volatile and we know what that means it means that the price will either fo up amd down and the people especially normal people will not agree to that they want a constant money be cause they don't want to lose nobody wants it we always wanted to gain

it is my hope, and maybe all bitcoin trader hope too.

Yes, I really believe bitcoin can be the world currency. It even like that already. Many people all over the world turning to bitcoin day by day. I was aware of  bitcoin called crypto currencies like 2 years ago. But now, Many people are getting familiar with it everyday.

Bitcoin has every chance to become a world currency. I'm Sure it'll happen sooner or later. Every day more and more people around the world learn about him. I think it will soon be recognized by many people.

i think it is possible that bitcoin will be our next currency but as of now our world is not yet ready for this kind of advancement because our knowledge is not yet enough to replace our traditional payment method.

This can happen, but it takes a long time, because to realize all it takes the process and government involvement, currently Bitcoin is still a debate in the governments of countries that are worried about the existence of Bitcoin.

For me no and i will not agree on this idea that bitcoin will become a world's currency. If all the countries will unite and will made a unified digital currency and that would not be bitcoin. As we all know from the moment we invested on bitcoin it make sense that we bought something worth it like gold and its price also is volatile depending on the crypto market. And the good thing is that the value will be able to raise higher as more people and investors come to invest and we do not want this happenings to be compromised by stabilizing it and making it as a world's digital currency. I could not agree because i could not be able to earn on investing on it. Maybe if it happens then i will stop investing bitcoin.

I totally agre in this opinion. Bitcoin has 21milion.it is enough for the people. Because all men don't know how to use ir.when every person will know about btc,bitcoin needs more and more. The man who use bitcoin, he lives btc.I also like it very much. So it is possible to be current coins.

No at the moment and even in the near future, people still need  actual cash but if we would go and look forward for a cashless society, it would be possible. Because bitcoin is meant to be used virtually like you need to log in and out to access it and having virtual wallet. Also, u need internet to access it so people without internet will not be able to utilize it.

I will have to say a big NO to that though i believe that become will become widely used in the world in the coming future, I still don't every country is going to get rid of their national currency in favour of the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin already world's online currency. Which can convert into local currency in any country. If you are asking about acceptable as legal tender. Then there are some issues in some countries. But in future it can remove and can make acceptable.

of course its possible, anything in this world is possible, better still, anything is possible in the crypto market, if Bitcoin's growth rate is anything to go by, It might develop into a force in the future, this however depend on how the governments handle its legislation issues, if legalized, BTC will give Fiat a run and may be accepted as he world currency

well do not think it would be possible for bitcoin to be the universal currency because every country has that own currency, When bitcoin will be the currency of the world, so the stock market of currencies will close, and it will be more problems in the banks, and bitcoin will be under control by the govermenet which it's too bad for peoples who own bitcoin, It will be ruled by the goverement and the government will not approve to become bitcoin a world's currency. Because bitcoin is an online currency or digital currency, it cannot touch by your hands only your online account (online wallet) can touch it

apparently not because Bitcoin is not a fiat currency with a legitimate status in any country but some countries have many that agree on Bitcoin digital currencies differently than existing digital currencies.

Probably not, at my opinion every government would be against bitcoin as world currency because their national currencies would be probably useless, but bitcoin would be on top anyway.

Not yet. bitcoin is the world's cryptocurrency though. but it will be different story if bitcoin price stable enough in the future.
become the world's currency means it must be stable enough to use by many peoples, so they won't lose their currency value.

I think the probability is less than 40%, because bitcoin has a very fluctuating value characteristic and it is not a requirement to be a currency. See, now it's just a lot of governments and countries that prohibit bitcoin.

if bitcoin is used as a world currency it seems very difficult but if bitcoin and blockchain technology is used for world finance it seems very likely, for bitcoin will be difficult if made as the main currency because bitcoin has a very limited total supply.

i think it is vey difficult,btc can be currency of the world the price of btc have to stable.do you think a currency that change 15-20% 1 month?it will make every oayment system updated each second,minus,i think btc is just laying the groundwork for the virtual currency market,no currency of the world

Yes, digital currencies are likely to grow further and be accepted by governments as creating a regulatory framework for better control, and possibly the price of the coins will hit the mark and there may also be New technologies like the blockchain

There is no assurance but there is a very high possibility that Bitcoin can become the world's currency especially now that it is becoming more popular in the world and the different countries are now starting to accept it legalized it. Some well known celebrities are also starting to post and announced to the world about their crypto related investments.

I think NO. Bitcoin now has is becoming more popular and many people knows bitcoin as a good investment. For it to become worlds currency is merely impossible. Evey country has different currency and it would be better that way, I guess. Government will be the one to decide on that and I think they will not approve bitcoin to become a countries currency because it would be very difficult for them to have control over it.

Yes, it is possible, why not? Bitcoin is a very sophisticated and valuable currency. So do not rule out if Bitcoin can be a world currency. Moreover, Bitcoin enthusiasts are now more and more and I am sure will continue to grow every day.

I think, bitcoin has become the world's currency because almost all countries have used it for transactions even though it does not become the official currency because every country already has the official currency

I dont think so. AT present the worlds population is 7.6B, the supply of bitcoin which is 21M will not be enough for the people. Besides i dont think that governments around the world would allow a decentralized currency would take over their local currencies.

maybe, but we still have a LONG ways to go if Bitcoin is to become used by everyone. Still today 99% or more of people do not know what it is.

I think this is unlikely, Bitcoin has a limited supply so it would be too little to use as a common currency. If this happens, I'm sure it will not be Bitcoin. Multiple nations will create their own Crypto.

I see a blurry picture. Seeing today's use of cryptocurrencies for trading, it is hard to believe that it would be used as a world currency for day to day activities like the way we use our fiat currency.

It is possible that bitcoin qualifies as currency and governments in all countries accept bitcoin and approve bitcoin as the world's currency. but I think it's still very far away.

There are more predictions about that, it talks about the future. This concerns bitcoin as the world currency wasn't new. There were many predictions about this but still it didn't yet happened. The future that bitcoin as the world currency is possible for me. I view that it is not actually referring to bitcoin alone but it is with altcoins. We all know that without bitcoin, altcoins won't exist. Without altcoins, bitcoin value is nothing but just a garbage.

yes possible the bitcoin fall down in currency.

No, I do not think that will happen.
