Bitcoin Forum

Life can not be considered without real money. There is no alternative to money in every step. But in the digital era, as a digital currency, Bitcoin can increase the use as a real money?

What is your definition of real money? Digital money does not mean no real money, because Sweden will soon introduce digital money as the official currency of the country and it will be clearly real money. So your question should be will bitcoin ever be so popular like the official money of a country. And I think yes it is only a question of time until crypto currencies will become as popular as the country's official currency.

We are still in the early phases of adoption for non fiat based currency. At one point Bitcoin was used as an alternative currency by a few websites and business. The growth and popularity has pushed it from being a currency to acting more like gold. Its generally to expensive to use as a day to day currency now and i suspect it will stay that way for the near future.

unt npw, the bitcoin sti spreading it's identity in the whole word because the last time I search about how many the bitcoin user in the world, it is only at 35-40% . every year the.bitcoin user was more and more sp I think it will be a gpod flowing. and I feel that someday it will become known in all country

If its value will continue being the number one crypto currency so it is popular. Real money for now it is on its early adaptation stage on the market and there are many businesses are already accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment but it will always take time.

I think they will be widespread, but BTC will not be as popular as cash because they have many restrictions on usage, machinery, technology ... etc and BTC is free. belong to any country, if put into the common currency each country has different differences. So it is difficult to price them for sale.

Thus high levels of Bitcoin volatility are influenced by news about government policies as well as other geopilitic events,so it's natural that there are people who are not very optimistic or very confident about the future of virtual money. we consider this a digital investment without having to replace conventional money.

Bitcoin is a pioneer of the technology and as an initial experiment has its limitations.
On the other hand the crypto and blockchain technology is improving and soon the world will embrace it as an alternative to fiat currency.
The authorities would issues such coins the way they issue fiat though they won't be on the form of notes and coins.

Actually bitcoin has beat the popularity the real money right now but can't replace the positition of the real money, you right, world can't without the real money because the digital money have much limitedness to could be use of all people. Not all the class of people can understand the progressing of the modernization right now.

It is entirely possible that in the next 20 years people will pay for the entire sale on the Internet. At that time not only Bitcoin but many other currencies will be born to serve the needs of everyone. And each profession will have a different currency. By that time the currency will not be under the control of the government anymore as it will be controlled by the trading needs of people around the world.

Of course, YES. That is the point of cryptocurrencies. Once more people adopt the use of these cryptocurrencies we will be living in a fairer world where there are no middlemen or banks that take huge cuts in our hard-earned money.

Everyday this adoption if growing, just take a look at Japan and how many of their establishments now accept bitcoin.

As you can see. Only millions of wallets are created which means a small percentage of population are using Bitcoin whether it be for trading goods or for holding. I think Bitcoin is still in its early stage of adoption. Some countries are still observing Bitcoin whether it will be beneficial to them or not. But I think it will be popular because nowadays, some websites and companies are using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as way of payment to their services and goods.

Well, if you have lots of Bitcoin, then your life maybe the best among all, i mean you can buy everything you want, and your life may be so meaningful. I do believe real money and bitcoin is just the same its just that bitcoin can be used everywhere and can be converted wherever country you maybe, unlike real money in your own country, can only be used in your own country. Bitcoin is more useful than real money in any sense, because you know, try to imaging, it is a worldwide acceptance and be converted whatever currencies you may be want.

Thats only my thought., my idea may be differ from the other users.

I think bitcoin is valued more as gold than 'real money' as you call it. As for popularity, from an investment point of view, it is definitely as popular universally.

now bitcoin is also very popular all over the world, because for our society bitcoin is also easy to use, because the salary is also very big compared to their office salary, so for them bitcoin is also very helpful for everyday needs, so I think bitcoin is also very popular as well very positive to make a profit.

I think bitcoin is gaining popularity day by day. There will be a point wherein people will consider bitcoin as an equal alternative for fiat money. Besides, I think bitcoin is a real money because you can use it buy and pay for things like a "real" money. The only difference is that its digital. Also there are countries who are already considering bitcoin as an alternative payment system.

It is only a matter of time that bitcoin will be accepted world wide, since there have been regulations taking over and that a lot of people are already aware that bitcoin is available and the interest seems to be going growing everyday, once bitcoin has been accepted by all countries, I see that there be a huge change with our current financial systems, people would rather choose to take care of their finances rsther than giving it to banks, since banks are always giving hidden fees in order to tske advantage of normal people, threy get tax breaks, and still get our money, once people realizes that bitcoin is decentralized and that you and only you need to manage your money, a lot of people will be financially free or at some point, equality to all, no rich, no poor.

I agree with you that real money can be in the form of stone or wood, as long as everyone agrees it as a means of payment, digital money is also real money, many advantages offered by digital money, I'm not surprised if Sweden will use digital money as their official currency , I hope other countries will follow Sweden's move.

It's hard to tell because some people got a bad judgement about Bitcoin and won't used it for payment, and Bitcoin just start to develop somit still need a lot of Fame and support, the one that going to boost the usage is the government's decision, if the government decide to regulate then it can increase the trust and in the long term people can accept BTC as the real money for payment

Bitcoin can already be compared to real money. Cash is king and there is no doubt about it. Bitcoin and altcoins are alternative if someone does not want to carry physical money to buy something. Digital currency can be use to send money or transact with others electronically and it is very convenient.

Real money just can be used in the real world, while digital money just can be used in the digital world. If someone made Bitcoin be a real money, it has to be very expensive because it took a long process by making a physical coin and somewhat code to integrate it to the physical coin.

when connected to technological developments, the growing number of markets and online services, the use of bitcoin as real money can occur.

We use our money to purchase or buy what we need. And we can do that through physically trading our money with an items or do an online transaction depending on the  establishment. Since Bitcoin is a digital money, online transaction is required for this. So it will be more popular if establishments will already adopt Bitcoin transactions.

I think bitcoin already enough popular than real money. Even me, I don't look for real money, Beacuse i know that Bitcoin is real money, precious more than gold. Bitcoin is growing gradually now, and maybe this time bitcoin price will be stable! If it happens then bitcoin will be far away from real money.

Stats indicate that close to 100 million people use Bitcoin right now. And that figure is more than the user-base of many major fiat currencies such as the Sri Lankan Rupee, Malaysian Ringgit or the Burmese Kyat. So it is already more popular than many of the fiat currencies.

I think the popularity of Bitcoin will not be as a real money for spending but as an alternative investment to earn more real money. Simply because real money is still the most convenient way to use for spending even Bitcoin become more popular now this is due to delayed or long transactions hours of waiting in which still need to be resolve and service charge is still expensive. Maybe if these two main problem will be address then i think Bitcoin will be more convenient to use for spending superseding the popularity of paper money.

I think bitcoin is just a tool for investment for now because the state refuses when bitcoins are made into currencies. Perhaps the future botcoin will evolve into a currency that can be used like currency in other countries.

We are moving to cashless society already, less physical monetary transaction, but as cryptocurrency has its value being appreciated decentralised, it has to be really used by merchants worldwide, with the condition that it stables, growing and fast. This is a crupit that most cryptocurrency couldn't at least for now as many sees bitcoin as investments, including me. So it might be so popular among people, but not as what we called 'real money'.

I would say that Bitcoin will become an alternative to fiat money when  the transaction speed with its use approaches the speed of banking operations.
So far, bitcoin is of interest only in terms of the development of blockchain technology.

With regards to popularity , yes time come that this will be very popular like any digital money and can be use like real money because this is already digital by nature , so it is just like credit card or debit card that can be use to purchase in department store or to pay electric bill or to buy gasoline and tuition pay in school .

Yes, in my opinion, it is quite possible.
Because bitcoin is now highly recognized, there are more and more people using it.

Will Bitcoin ever be so popular like real money? for the future I think it can be like that. because bitcoin is the root of all existing coins that reference to the real currency. could also be replacing a certain currency of international standard. bitcoin has become the current trend.

In the current situation, bitcoin and other altcoins cant be use like real money(fiat) because cryptocurrency is so fragile and its also volatile so price may change without further notice. It's not stable like fiat so it cant be use for daily living.

Real money or fiat currency as we call it in the crypto world has been around for centuries and is deemed as a necessity by all types of government and all kind of people and it is still needed as of today.

However as we turn more and more to digital technology the innovation of digital currency or cryptocurrency as we know it is becoming more and more popular, but it is deemed as a commodity like gold. There will be a time in the near future where cryptocurrency such as bitcoin will be deemed as a necessity such a fiat currency which we can use in daily living.

In terms of popularity I think bitcoin will equate real money soon, because day in day out, new entrants to bitcoins is increasing, merchants are trying to accept it in their online shops. And as paypal and credit card is so popular , so will bitcoin be.

The popularity of bitcoin had increasing everyday and if you will compare this to fiat money then bitcoin needs mass adoption and serve the purpose of being a currency not as just storage value. Although bitcoin has just started and we need enough time to reach those popularity of fiat money. Too early to think of that, we will see that once we had reach at the end of the tunnel and continue spreading the goodness of bitcoin in every corner of the world.

Bitcoin is already popular. More people are getting to know bitcoin. We need more than popularity. We need acceptance from the countries that don't want bitcoin. And more than that, we need people to use it. For now bitcoin is regarded as an asset by most people. In the future, it will become a reality. We just need people to incorporate bitcoin in their lives.

It's seems that not like that. Yes, we see many new people who use cryptocurrency now, but most of them are not really pretend bitcoin as money but they pretend bitcoin as asset. I think bitcoin adoption will always grows but it will still become an alternative currency.

Probably, if you have written this - you could notice why digital world cannot yet take over the real money. The reason is simple - poor people. Many ghettos and poor people are just not having the opportunity to use such way of transferring money. If we cannot deal with income uncertainty all over the world - we will not deal with Bitcoin and other coins as a main source of exchanging system.

I think so, everything is leading to be like that. So many people believe in it. But, I think it will only happen within some 20-50 years. Yet, no one can tell the definite answer- so my guess is just a guess.

Bitcoin will be much more popular in the coming years, there's no doubt about that. However, I think it will not become so used and known as real - fiat money. There are many people who don't connect to the internet or who are not interested in new technologies, while others will not want to use bitcoin for its volatility, for not being able to understand how it works or simply because they will choose the security provided by their fiat currency.

This is entirely possible when the throughput of bitcoins increases.
So bitcoin can be transferred freely around the world.

It is popular now and i believe that bitcoin can be the future of money, it is very ideal to connect the world with digital money and it will be accepted soon worldwide

Bitcoin is now more valuable than real currencies in the world. Due to this easy trade and high profits, value is increasing day by day.

For now bitcoin is very popular both domestically and abroad

At one point Bitcoin was used as an alternative currency by several websites and businesses. Growth and popularity have pushed it from the currency to act more like gold

Thus high levels of Bitcoin volatility are influenced by news about government policies as well as other geopolitical events, so it's natural that some people are not very optimistic or very confident about the future of virtual currency

Crypto are having a good trend of coming out into the community. The numbers of individuals accepting this form of currency is just enough to consider that bitcoin have really a good future, and to known worldwide of its used same thing happen to fiat money.

You bet! Bitcoin is already been used accross the border all your over the world. Bitcoin as it were can not be control by any individual or group. Bitcoin network us spread beyond control and international trade is been cleared daily with bitcoin.

It is already papular by the people who know about cryptocurrency. If this topic if yours means that we need bitcoin instead of paper money for me it will be yes and no. Why because it would probably a tradigy in world because hackers will rise and get rich because we used bitcoin instead of real money.

It depends on how far the scalabilty issue of Bitcoin is handled . For now Bitcoin is seen as a store of value .Also until there is a way crypto can be less volatile, it is uncertain to say that Bitcoin can be used a real money in the future. This is just my opinion.

His popularity is very unstable, so they are all interested in it, the interest in it falls, but after a certain time, when he shows great growth, everyone will talk about him

There is a very good chance that 'Bitcoin will be so popular like Euro or Dollar in the future. All the people are moving to digital cash, because it is easier to handle that stuff. The real money is always dangerous, because big countries are printing more and more.

It's possible that this will be true in the distant future. However, you have to think that all the people need to have access to a computer and an internet connection in order to be able to transact Bitcoin. Unfortunately , there are very many people in poor countries at the moment that can't afford to have these things that seem so normal for us.

This is likely not to happen now and never.

Bitcoin is popular but real money is more popular thereby will limit it's knowledge to those that into it's trade.

The fact that real money is generally accepted which is it's major characteristics has made it even more popular. Bitcoin in its own side is know even out of ignorant but not many have accepted it has a perfect trade currency.

As I think at the moment Bitcoin is so fucking popular already :)). If you ask anyone about what will they choose between $1k and 1BTC absolutely they will choose BTC :). For now, I think people are going to use BTC much more than real money :)). For example in this forum, everyone trade everyday without real money but BTC only :)

Ofcourse it will, bitcoin is now so popular because of social media. Many people now know the word Bitcoin however they still dont know the meaning of it. However if bitcoin will still dominate and became more popular in the future then for sure bitcoin will be popular like money and will be used by many.

I think it will never be more popular then real money, but it can easily become as popular as it. People will pay with cytpocurrency quite soon

actually money is the alternative of gold.. real money is gold and money is backed by the gold as per Govt. statements but we all know that all of the money is not backed by the real gold and we are in the fake economy.. bitcoin is just like the paper money but it is decentralized and we all know decentralization has more advantages over centralization.. it will take time and bitcoin will be popular .

Bitcoin is developing very fast and is gaining popularity! At this rate, bitcoin will enter everyone's daily life in the near future. With bitcoin you can buy everything!

I think this will take a long time, because Bitcoin is now affected by small chunks, and transfer rates and fees are not suitable as a means of payment, but it does not mean that Bitcoin will be upgraded in the future, so it cannot be predicted.

Bitcoins today is very popular, there are a lot of people who are using cryptocurrency because they are expecting to earn profit in the future since most of the people are believing that cryptocurrency will be really good for long term investment.

bitcoins today is already popular, there are different cryptocurrency in the market today that are circulating, the reason why bitcoins get so many investors is through popularity with also the help of different social medias.

I hope so really, I do have some bitcoin and some tokens too, but at the end of the day all the value seems to be linked one way or the other so more adoption means more earnings for me.

Those problems we are seeing because of the fake news, regulations, hacking and crypto market place fluctuations bro. Hope these problems will be solved soon and we all will be find the good profit in the market soon.
If you missed to hodl the fund and investing means you can easily get the marketplace very soon bro. I do not think as you said we will find the bitcoin upgraded in future. To say exactly you will be find the blockchain 3.0 soon.

Bitcoin is a very potential coin and it is expanding in size on a daily basis because of the rate at which people are investing in it and it will continue to progress and gain more popularity until it is accepted globally but I do not think it will get same popularity like fate curency.

Probably this will be the case, but not all over the world. The United States will always fight bitcoin so that it does not take the place of the dollar, from which the US could only receive losses for its economy.

Maybe in the long run. but not in the nearest future. because most of the country is fighting against bitcoin taking over the fiat. It'll take many many years to take the fiat currency place for btc.

Do not you believe in this? If you do not believe, it means that our future will be a surprise for you, because already now many very respected people speak about this, which in the real world achieved not small heights and good reputation.

all can happen and with the current technology that will continue to grow then it could happen and bitcoin will be more famous and accepted in almost all countries so it will be easier for us to use and become the official currency

Digital currency has clearly come to stay, it is already very popular, gaining global acceptance is the goal right now..  I am fully convinced it will be used more in the nearest future. It cannot take the place of fiat currency though.

I agree the technology of blockchain is very promising. In my opinion is the popularity not important nowadays we use real money, because it is not popular but because we it is necessary to use it. A currency based on the blockchain needs to usable for everyone. We need to ask us the question: Can a kid of 12 buy something in the market with bitcoin and can someone who is old also buy it? For now it is all a bit difficult, so it is not implementated in our daily life.

I think digital money will totally replace fiat soon. As before, precious metals replaced barter trading and then paper money replaced gold and silver.

Definitely Yes I agree with you.  Cryptocurrencies can replace real money but not all. It takes a long time to do that. Maybe it will lessen the use but it will not fade. If cryptocurrency will be introduces to all people in any different ways for sure they will love to use digital money rather than real money.

Yes ofcourse. Bitcoin can compete with the real money. We are in the 21st century and technology are now part of our lives. Bitcoin is a product of technology so definitely people can easily adjust to its system and embrace bitcoin as their currency in the future.

I think there is no real money, just the same. With bitcoin we can still buy something, still can trade bitcoin with cross currency fiat.

As my thoughts bitcoin can be more popular like money let take a look at bitcoin in three years ago and this moment bitcoin is going higher and higher

Bitcoin will be like real money in the coming days and more important the internet world will have single largest accepted currency worldwide that is bitcoin as predicted by many tech and financial experts

I think for now it can not be said so because people have not 100% believe in Bitcoin. Still too many people who do not understand about Bitcoin. Moreover, people are far from technology. Maybe in 5 to 10 years longer Bitcoin can be popular like real money and can replace the position of real money as a means of payment.

Bitcoin has already started to be popular especially those people who always use the computer or people who are interested in investing and money. I do think bitcoin is great for investing and not an alternative money, either way after we invest with bitcoin we still convert it as a real money as a base but this doesn't mean that bitcoin will not but an alternative money in the future, we don't know what will be our future be like and this is actually a step to the future if bitcoin will be one.

Before answering no to such a question, we must think about what a huge progress BTC has made already! From the time people used to spend 10,000 BTCs on pizzas, to the time it's worth thousands of dollars, it's all over media, it's easily being bought and sold, and ...

You ask if it will be as popular as fiat some day? Well, maybe not as popular as USD or Euro in near future, but it will be better and better with every passing year.

And no, don't be doubted by the current bear market. It will pass soon. ;)

I think in the near future bitcoin can very well replace real money. Already there are many ICOs in which you can buy anything for bitcoin. But it will never be possible to completely displace real money from the world market.

If we answer this question based on today's realities, such an answer is obvious No.  It could happen, but it requires the fulfillment of many conditions , for example :
1)the cryptocurrency should gradually spread among a larger owners number.
2)the value of the cryptocurrency should stabilize.
3)a large number of people should believe in the cryptocurrency.
4) a regulatory system should be introduced.

I think it's possible because Bitcoin still new and will grow up again. Also there is many kind transaction are made with Bitcoin. Like in the deepweb which almost payment there are made with Bitcoin.

Yeah all can happen but this won't happen over night as it will take years. But for now, bitcoin is now popular as digital currency and people now are making buzz about this investion yet I think bitcoin will have a hard time to replace fiat. We all know fiat had been here for centuries and people are being used to this so it will be hard for them to embrace this kind of technology.

This one day will surely be true. Crypto currencies will ruin traditional money one day. But it will be after a very long time so we may not see it  :)

it is still a speculation and prediction in some time to come, now crypto can be calculated in the world. crypto much used as a means of payment used in some countries, but if you have to compete with money I think bitcoin will still be in trouble because money is still the most popular and still be one of the best transaction tool in the world.

Oh yeah buddy it sure will.
But we'll have to wait to be mass adopted by the people. Only 1% of the population trades with crypto.

It might happen but not really soon, as compared to fiat money, Bitcoin is technically better, fast and more secure but it's way too volatile because of big players manipulating the market. With that much volatile nature it's difficult to replace the fiat and also most people still don't feel safe with BTC as compared to traditional money but anything can happen, we can't tell the future.

With the development of the speed of the current technology 4.0, bitcoin was born and meet the trend of the times. Bitcoin is a valuable currency but it is not yet widely used as real money. I hope the future of money is also seen as real money.

Its actually happening now. The world market is somehow shaken of the coming of bitcoin. In terms of popularity bitcoin for now has just started so probably almost everyone are into the real money. As I've said bitcoin had already announce to all about its digital age and definitely this year and the years to come its as popular as our real money.

This thought has been put forth many times but it doesn’t seem to be possible for many reasons. The prime reason analyst says is that, bitcoin is very volatile and thus it can not be used as the fiat currency form.

Bitcoin is basically a crypto currency and it can be transacted over the virtual protocol and hue bringing it to the real life will need extra hands too. Everything is complex with it when it comes to the use of real world.

May be it will face lots of challenges.

This is very possible that bitcoin is very popular like real money since this is a digital in nature and we are also using digital money like debit card and credit card so this will not surprising on us if this will be happen in the future.

I quite dont understand your question, are you asking if bitcoin can increase the use of real money? If that is your question and by definition of real money, are you also talking about fiat money?

Personally I think bitcoin has already increased the use of "real money" because a lot of people trade in their real money with bitcoin and vice versa. Especially in countries wherein they do not accept bitcoin yet but bitcoin can be converted to your own local money.

but now fewer people know about bitcoin and but if people know all this it will definitely use digital money and will beat the money in the real world.

Bitcoin and hard cash are popular in their own territory, as of now.  Bitcoin being the currency of the internet, is the most popular coins in the internet while hard cash is the currency we are currently using in our everyday life.  For now, because we are in the early stage of adopting cryptocurrency in our everyday life, hard cash is still the popular currency we use but there will come a time that Bitcoin will also as popular as the hard cash or maybe more popular because more and more people are learning about Bitcoin.

A very well analysis mate for this is a true and a reality of the situation of the cryptocurrencies in our society today. It is too hard for bitcoin to be compared by the paper money that was implemented in every nation because they have a different significance in the society. Well, we'll always hope for the goodness and a positive future of bitcoin in the next year.

Make sure the market place has different verities of products that CAN be sold This way buyers can guarantee  that it works bitcoin has already increased the use of real money as off now lot of people trading !!

bitcoin already popular but usage is something else, real money is not just popular but it's been used worldwide. It hard to tell but i don't think it will be as popular as fiat.   

At present, about 70% of the world population knows about bitcoin. I think that with the development of modern media in the world is very likely in 2019; bitcoin will be more popular than cash.

because maybe bitcoin is money really because you get a bitcoin fee so much likes bitcoin we do not even know it's literally bitcoin it's the way for us to earn real money.

This may actually happen in the future if there is a charge adjustment and there are new forms of payment with bitcoin and more transaction speed. I believe that electronic money is very popular in the future along with its technology. It will make life easier in making payments much safer.

I think yes. Bitcoin can be more popular than real money. Where I live, the media has promoted bitcoin on television or in newspapers. So many old people and children know about electronic money

Stats indicate that close to 100 million people use Bitcoin right now. And that figure is more than the user-base of many major fiat currencies such as the Sri Lankan Rupee, Malaysian Ringgit or the Burmese Kyat. So it is already more popular than many of the fiat currencies.

That figure is debatable but even if it's true, that's just around 1.5% of world population.
The major currencies like dollar, euro, rubble etc. are much much more present and used at the world market.

Money is only instrument to value our human needs. Its can be valuable if there is consensus to use some instrument, including bitcoin. So, if we read the bitcoin whitepaper and changing our existing money systems, that will be happened that bitcoin will become the legal instrument like our fiat money. Just see what happen in japan.

I think it takes time. A lot of time. People like to hold banknotes in their hands.

Since bitcoin is known to be the father of all crypto currencies , it wouldn't so hard for it to reach what fiat has. It is already being compared to fiat which is an advantage for most of us users. Bitcoin is being valued and used same as the function of fiat bit we can't deny the fact that it can replace the virtual money.

When I first came into contact with Bitcoin, I thought it might become cash on the Internet, but now I find that its significance is changing. It has been used as a commodity for hype! I think this behavior makes it impossible to become a substitute for real money!

BTC is very "young" and it will probably be in a position to replace paper money in a few decades.
The adoption percentage is still too low right now.

I think the question that can bitcoin be considered as real money will be yes because as more persons begin to adopt bitcoin in all their daily activities the more bitcoin becomes very popular. So bitcoin can become alternative to fiat in the future.

At the moment, I think Bitcoin is already really popular in all over the world. It's the fastest way to earn money for rich guys in this world :). As I can see so many famous people like actors, singers, investors come from Holywood are also interested in Bitcoin :). Beside, Bitcoin is being used as a local currency in Japan in which it was born :)

For me today Bitcoins  is very popular but,bitcoin cant poppular like money in the nearest future.
Just Wait to see it.

I don't know if you are talking about cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin. If it is Bitcoin, I think this is impossible. Bitcoin does not become cash. Don't you know bitcoin cash? BCH? He is Bitcoin cash. But Bitcoin itself will not become cash.

if all people in the whole will finally accept cryptocurrency, bitcoin will be popular like fiat, bitcoin is also money, it is being used through online transaction which become more convenient than the usual sending of funds through remittances.

It depends how you look at these things. Because at this moment BTC is traded and can be invested in it in theory from everywhere in the world where the internet is. By the way, you can not buy any "real" currency just like that.  ???

It just takes time. It used to be silly to think that some plastic square thing would replace cash. What now? The same will happen with crypto-currencies.

Bitcoin is an amazing invention as a means of transaction and wealth storage, bitcoin transactions are run not through bank or government intermediaries, but to replace the role of fiat money is very difficult, considering this is a traditional money that does not require technological support like a smartphone, you should know not all layers of society have smartphones.

I believe the future will not take much to cash, Crytocurrency is the perfect choice. It may not be Bitcoin but a common currency. ;D ;D

yes you are right, bitcoin will become very famous like real money because bitcoin gives many advantages. many people are making money by trading on bitcoins. in the future bitcoin will become very famous and will be used as a legitimate payment instrument across the country.

They are different entity, wherein cryptocurrency cannot be touch and can only do transaction with the use of wallet app or web app. But real money we use it in our daily lives to purchase things whether its for needs or wants. There is no way that digital currency can be a real money that is why is called "digital" which can use for digital purposes to buy things using a blockchain machine or app.

Nowadays things and necessities are already hightech or thru virtual reality. Bitcoin will be like real money in the future. No doubt many believes and have interests in bitcoin.

It already so popular in this world. In many countries we can find tourism transactions that can be done with bitcoin, and also many more country will facilitate their banks to use bitcoin as an asset or economics comodity. And soon more country will legalize bitcoin, so we can say it can be as popular as fiat money asap

In the crypto money world, Bitcoin is the king. Bitcoin has also begun to be accepted in the real world. It will soon be used by all the countries of the world for trade.

I think this is a complicated issue. He may be very popular in some countries. For example, Japan. But in some countries. The United States will not be so popular.

Time will tell if btc is useful as cryptocurrency or not! Because, with more support and usage of the blockchain technology, more countries will figure out the BEST way to concider Bitcoin as a currency and not only fiat coins.

That is already happening in developed countries like U.S.A.  I think it will take a lot of time to happen in developing countries.

The earliest days of Bitcoin were developed with the goal of realizing alternative cash, but now Bitcoin has lost this meaning, and now it is more like a commodity being hyped!

No, it won't. Bitcoin price is too volatile and there is too much scams. It is only used by traders and you can't exchange it easily.

I don't see any opportunity bitcoin become real money because bitcoin is alternative not the main. But I have different opinion, I believe blockchain will survive and grow up as technology and ( maybe ) another product will use blockchain to fix and finish their transactions. Optimist with blockchain but not with bitcoin.

In my opinion, that possibility will not happen, at least in the near future. To become a currency, Bitcoin must first be accepted globally, and there are regulations governing it. And I think it will not be better than the current currency.

Well in my own opinion, Bitcoin is now a currency becausw it is a digital currency that many people using it in their mode of payment. But the use of bitcoin is limited only not just like the real money that you can see it everywhere and your employer is paying you through bitcoin. And I think bitcoin is only for an option in the mode of payment. Still, real money is one of the useful monetary in the world and it can not be change, and if ever it will change it will go through many processes because we all know that real money is mandatory payment in goods in the many countries.

in my opinion bitcoin will become more famous and accepted in almost all countries so it will be easier for us to use and become the official currency. because all can happen and with the current technology that will continue to grow

The same story over and over again. I think we should know the facts that bitcoin ca not be a currency (real fiat type) because it doesn't have same character as that of the fiat one. Fiat currency's first basis is its working model that is run over regulatory base. That makes it more and more stable and probably it can not get hampered so easily with economic crisis and or shortage. In case of bitcoin it always strive to go up or at least stay same all the time and thus could be dangerous if we used it as the fiat currency. It may not replace it at all.

Maybe in the near future where technology is more advance than at present and if majority of the community knows cryptocurrecy well.

of course BTC known for the price is that it is a very high when in Exchange money will be better if all countries start receiving BTC it will make the Berjaya do not need to be a real money BTC already mrnjadi game everyone in the world so BTC for now this is money virtual world's most in search

Yes, Bitcoin will be as popular as fiat currency soon because it is the currency of the future. Once the government accept cryptocurrency as a legal currency, fiat currency will start to fade because cryptocurrency us more efficient and more convenient to use.

Yeah once they accept it. That will probably be in a few decades from now and by then maybe some new technology will make blockchain tech., and BTC with it, obsolete.

It is challenging for Bitcoins to become global currency because people now consider Bitcoin as a kind of asset. They only sell when the exchange rate is high and profitable. So in the future, ETH and altcoins have the potential to become the global currency, replacing the cash used today.

I think it is closely to the gold asset rather than real money. IMO coin that can be the real money as payment is a stable coin one, cause sometimes people needed stability for payment system and it is hard for BTC.

I think it can, as long as the transacting parties agree. Nowadays we can all do it if we want to. But if in the future there is a crypto that will replace the traditional currency, I am sure it is not Bitcoin.

Actually yes, there will be always future in crypto. It can be the currency someday. It will develop and become bigger and many people will be able to be used of it.

Yes bitcoin is going to be so popular to the extent that some continents are going to adopt it into they financial system.  I also believe that bitcoin is the currency of the future and I think if we want to be part of the future now is the right time for us to invest into it!  Many people are millions today because they take decision to invest into bitcoin from beginning  .

Will need to win the war against capitalism, and that will take a lot of time and effort. But if we hold out a reward will be generous and fair. For this the value of transactions in the bitcoin network needs to be cheaper, and processing speed should increase. I think very soon we will witness something like that.

The functionality of bitcoin is in digital format, not like cash or paper money we can touch, we only feel it, therefore we are now in a new Era of technology which has been serious circulating round the world, which we take a few years to complete.

I am not very sure about this. It has many adventageous features of cryptocurrency regarding transferring the money to the other countries but it is obvious that there should be dome regulations about crypto for it to be used as trade means.

What do you mean by real money? Bitcoin can be the currency someday. It will develop and become bigger.

I don’t think that Bitcoin as the only currency will reach the popularity compared with real money. To the time of high level crypto development Bitcoin will be one of the major cryptocurrencies in a row of some others.

 in a year, two or five, crypto will be mainstream adopted. we shouldn't worry about current price because when the bitcoin is mainstream adopted price will increase several folds. im pretty sure that bitcoin will be mainstream adopted but it will take some time.

This is undoubtedly possible. Bitcoin is gaining increasing popularity and soon it will rise on an equal footing and even higher than the usual fiat currency. In general, all cryptocurrency has huge advantages in the economy.

Real money is the more popular than bitcoin because real money is always what we need in our daily living , to buy all the things that we need. Bitcoin in other part is the most popular in the the world of cryptocurrencies because of it , people are earning a lots of money through bitcoin. Popularity between the two is different in a way people used them.

Some coins may have such potential, but Bitcoin may not be included. If not faster and cheaper, chances are the community will not be interested in using crypto. But to substitute in certain situations, I think in the future will be more popular.

The popularity of bitcoin had increasing everyday and if you will compare this to fiat money then bitcoin needs mass adoption and serve the purpose of being a currency not as just storage value.

Yes. And it has been proven, although I have not felt, but I am sure in the coming months I will get it. Many of my friends are already earning money from participating in Bitcoin and they are up to now only focused on digital currency activity.

I think Bitcoin will be popular in the future if it continues. Since there are some transactions that is done by using Bitcoin. I know someone that they pay their workers through Bitcoin. So I believe that Bitcoin will be one of the money that will be use the same as the paper money or the real money that are being talked about. As far as I know Bitcoin is a digital currency which is a electronic cash. So in the future we will use it for buying and selling things. Same purpose with the paper money.

I do not think that will happen. A currency may have certain criteria that crypto can not satisfy. Next is its high volatility may not be accepted by all parties.

Bitcoin is almost popular, apart from been popular for people in the crypto space, it is starting to be popular among the people outside of bitcoin, i remember an old family friend once asked me what bitcoin is all about, this is to show that even the aged people know about it and i believe it will eve get more popular in the future.

The world is going to switch to digital money in the nearest future because cryptos currency is getting popular day after day.
Many rich people around the world keep exchange their fiat currencies to digital currencies, Switzerland and environs will soon legalized the use of cryptocurrency as fiat money, and this will be a great achievement in cryptos world.

it is still a speculation and prediction in some time to come, now crypto can be calculated in the world. crypto much used as a means of payment used in some countries, but if you have to compete with money I think bitcoin will still be in trouble because money is still the most popular and still be one of the best transaction tool in the world.

As for in this century of crypto we are now, i guess bitcoin and all other coin will soon be popular as money it self. That is if their is continuity and more development in it.

In the fact that real money it's something used for acceptance between two or more so digital or hard is the same thing

In this manner elevated amounts of Bitcoin instability are affected by news about government strategies and also other geopilitic events,so it's regular that there are individuals who are not exceptionally idealistic or extremely certain about the eventual fate of virtual cash. we think about this as a computerized speculation without replacing ordinary cash.

I think Bitcoin will surpass the value of real money. Bitcoin is a safe haven. Now the global economy is very dangerous. The global financial crisis may occur at any time. In the future, cryptocurrency may be very expensive.

90%+ of fiat is digital money. Bitcoin might become popular like fiat, as it would simply be a software upgrade.

I say simply, but the implications are massive.

Time will tell. I'm betting on it's mass adoption, or at least it's potential for mass adoption.

Yes bitcoin now is popular in a different country it uses as an alternative currency bitcoin is our future money.

I think that the old money system is simply no longer past and outdated in the digital world. Only this change will not take place in 5 to 10 years

Bitcoin Is already on the sixth largest and most influential currency in the word and if the countries of European Union like Germany star the mass adoption of the coin than the increased price value may allow bitcoin to to have more value than fiat

Bitcoin, as far as the main mining farms, does not have any intention of becoming a payment method, in fact it is trying to be a reserve value something like gold fro crypto.

If I think it would be very difficult if bitcoin is to become very popular like a real eye because real eyes are already widely used and have been known to the public for a long time but bitcoin has only been popular in the last few years

Bitcoin as of now is already popular. Its price last 2017 is almost at 20,000 usd. It is the most expensive digital coin I have ever seen. And as of now, bitcoin is still undisputed in the coinmarketcap as the rank #1 of coins and altcoins.

Why do I think that Bitcoin has already gained the popularity that it deserves? Almost everyone has heard about it one way or the other. They might not have invested in it, or believe in the technology, but people are aware of it. Soon, it will be widely accepted. I don't think popularity is bitcoin's problem at all, cos it already has that.

I think bitcoin is now very popular around the world, so we believe that the future of bitcoin is also promising, and we can also benefit from bitcoin in the future.

Bitcoin is now very popular all over the world. We believe Bitcoin will have a better future. It can be compared with real money, but it will not completely replace real money.

I sincerely believe this. So, as the crypto currency has tremendous opportunities for a good future. If bitcoin and crypt will continue to develop at the same rate. I think we will come to the fact that this crypt will be more popular than cash.

It will in the future but you are right, cash is kind of still king right now as I see that people value bitcoin with it's current price as dollar. However, Bitcoin is gaining and will be gaining more popularity as time goes by as it is being tested time and time again.

I agree with you that bitcoin has already beaten the popularity of  real money. But I doubt that it will be able to replace real money at least in the nearest future.

Bitcoin has really achieved great popularity and some countries have accepted it as a means of payment, but we can not deny the fact that we can not do without fiat money. It's impossible to say exactly how we will use bitcoin in the future, but I believe in crypto-currencies and their future.

Not bitcoin because huge transaction fees and delayed time but cryptocurrencies will rock in future.

Every day that will pass, bitcoin is becoming popular.Many stores,merchants or even online market already accepting bitcoin as a way of payment and even famous Celebrities or big companies already promoting Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. So in my opinion, Years from now there is a posibility that bitcoin will be so popular as real money.

its already popular. a lot of businesses already adopt and uses it.
it could use as a real money, Yes. it almost do what real money does.
but when you really check it out. cryptocurrency monetary value, of course base and depend on real life currency.
in which. crypto and fiat co exist and depend on each other on a daily aspect.
where, make our life in the digital era. much easier.

I think the value of Bitcoin will surpass real money. The cryptocurrency will change the way people use cash in the future, and all will only be paid for through the mobile phone in the future.

At the moment, Bitcoin still can't be used to trade for real goods in everywhere but I think it's really popular at the moment, you just need to go out and ask a random guy about BTC and I think everyone know about BTC and cryptocurrency :). Although it's just a new thing but it'll be a big thing in this world very soon :).

Increase adoption is what will make more popular than it is currently! Bitcoin popularity is increasing and there are positive opinion about bitcoin. DEA just release a statement that says more than 80% of bitcoin transaction is legal!

I think so as well that it is only the matter of time. I believe that in several decades our financial system will be changed completely and digital money will be spread all over the world.

I think that if Bitcoin will be improved, if it works out its disadvantages, then it has all the chances to replace real money. Bu nevertheless, I believe it will take a long time.

I agree that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can replace real money but I don't think it will happen in the nearest future. Though acceptance of bitcoin is wide, yet not all people understand what bitcoin really is.
