Do you think Bitcoin will be legally accepted in every country in the next 10 years? But I think that Bitcoin will be legally accepted in all the countries within the next 10 years. Not sure about the other crypto coins, but everyone has confidence in Bitcoin, so it can be said that Bitcoin will be fully validated in all countries. Bitcoin's popularity and popularity have increased day by day.
The government of many countries are now thinking about the bitcoin. That day is not far away when Bitcoin will be legally acceptable in all countries.

I am quite positive about bitcoin and even some top alts that eventually many countries will be opening up their doors for this new and innovative digital assets to be owned, traded and utilized by the general population. However, we all know the big reality that some countries (example: China, Iraq, North Korea, Russia, MidEast countries and even India) will not easily give up their strong position against cryptocurrency. Will a decade be enough to change their adamant mindset on bitcoin? Let's just hope that it is though I am a little negative on this, to be honest but certainly we can be adding more countries soon that's for sure.

So my next question: What are the things or factors that can possibly convince closed countries to change their stance? And is there anything we can help towards that goal?

I'm not sure, for me it's very difficult to imagine all countries accepting BTC without taxing and controlling
If I have to bet, I'll probably bet that most of countries will find a way to ban or to make difficult who have BTC

I think that the better question is if Bitcoin will be regulated and how. Even now Bitcoin is not illegal, at least not in majority of countries but there are only few countries who have regulated it within legal framework and defined it. I think this is something that will happen in.almost every country 10 years from now.

The sign is very positive, but we can't predict what will happen, all the big companies already set their eyes for crypto, if crypto can be proven giving advantages for people then I think the government will take the right move for adopt crypto, the government will need to improve if most of the countries already accept crypto, maybe 10 years is not enough time for crypto being accepted in all countries, but I think most of the countries will be adopting it

'Legally' is somewhat a vague term in today's standards. In the country I'm in for example, bitcoin is accepted by a few retailers and services as if it's a currency but the thing is there are no legal framework whatsoever pertaining to bitcoin and the scope of its use and its limits. Anyone can accept bitcoin anywhere in the world but that doesn't mean it's legal, and perhaps we're a long way from legalizing the said cryptocurrency across the globe knowing that there are still some countries that are still against it. The demand of its usage would be a key factor in getting things prepped up, and that, thankfully, is being done right now.

Maybe not in all countries (stupidity still dominates some), but more and more will understand and accept it, and thus bring new sources of wealth to their people.

Even if its not legal in a couple of places, people from there will still transact underground. Bitcoin is unstoppable, as much as the internet, and some even argue more than, because of decentralization and blockchain.

The game is not over, but Bitcoin is winning.

It may just happen, and when this happens, be sure it may find a way to being the next world unity currency, and this may as be preparing for the second coming of Jesus Christ. I doubt any country will shy away from accepting the bitcoin few years from now. See bitcoin may have  the backing of powerful forces who are tired of the current fraudulent banking system.

It is true that Bitcoin has gained a lot of popularity and a lot of users in the past couple of years, and i am sure that in the next 2 years or so it will get even bigger and a lot of companies will start accepting, but i don't know if all government in the world will ever allow it to become used because it will affect them in a bad way if a lot of people use it, because government hold control of our lives through money and if we use bitcoin than they will lose that control.

In the upcoming ten years of time surely there will be big change in the market acceptance of bitcoin. When there is increase in the market acceptance and adoption automatically it'll be recognized globally. Even after such a level of growth it is really hard get legal acceptance for bitcoin on every country. I believe majority of the countries will legalize bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies usage.

This might happen because the government will also use it as a means of payment gradually as evidenced by the existence of many countries that approve bitcoin as a digital investment commodity, and this does not rule out the possibility that in the future the government will do the same with bitcoin if used as a means of payment.

Legalize in the country about bitcoin or alternative coin iis not easy, government need more knowledge about Cryptocurrency and I think before they legalized the bitcoin there's something that will be considered. It's not just easy its really takes time about that.

I think there are some crypto that are used by the public for transactions, trade and investment.  such as BTC, ETH, XRP, TRX, and other coins that have good potential in the market.  but other altcoin is only for trade and investment.

surely this can happen. Bitcoin has gained a lot popularity in last 10 years and now all countries are making their mind to regulate it. Slowly but for surely regulations will come.

Yes, I have no doubt about it, because although it is true that large institutions tend to be reluctant to change, sooner or later they have to adapt to the new realities, and the incursion of technology into our daily lives is already a fact that can not be stopped. Example of an initial reluctance was Uber in its beginnings, but today no one doubts the great utility offered by its service in the cities in which it operates.

In the case of bitcoin, despite the great reluctance of the central banks, no one has been able to prevent it from permeating the global economy, and the tax authorities have had to adapt to this fact and legislate on it as a preamble to the mass adoption coming.

I guess if the use is as a means of payment, then it can damage the rules of financial and economic benefits of each country. Bitcoin should be accepted as e-currency only and shouldn't disrupt the payment system now. Because not everyone using it while most people are still use real money as payment as it's the easiest now.

You cannot always claims a hundred percentage on anything, many countries will have their laws and regulations when it comes to the market and i expect some third world countries banning the entire market altogether and there are dictatorship kind of rulers in some of the middle eastern countries and you never know what kind of rules and regulations they will come up with and there is a possibility that they will ban it altogether.

In some country but I doubt on those country who are making bad decisions agaisnt bitcoin. In India, there a propose law of making you in jail for the next 10years for holding bitcoin or making any transactions using bitcoin.  We have to work on this, keep making good news and develop more coins because of this maybe government will start to see this as a good one.

yes they cannot stop the snowball effect, and if they will fight back like china and india which ban crypto then will be huge problem,,,,

but something big will happen, people will not seat quiet, generation Z , china and india and russia and some others dont give a shit about helping people and make freedom and make familys more happy and make bright future for kids and it was and will be in this world they just look on them as some robots under control nothing more,,,,who think its not real is only rich people which are very small % which also some kind of piss of shit they dont care what happen with others....do you know what the salaries in china and russia and india and some other countires and they work all day long .... this things dosent important to them whats important is to ban crypto its fucking joke ,,, unbelievable...


why they ban crypto ???? its take huge chunk of power from them...smart economist can explain you this i just to lazy now hhhh

now companies will happy to paid by cryptos for products why...the prices of crypto go up compare to money paper

so here you have great hint if it will be accepted ....100% ,,,the only problem is the governments,
lets say you sell televisions i come and pay with dash crypto after some time the price go up....but with money paper there is huge problem.....

why

the prices in supermarkets slowly go up and in other things while dollar lose value and affect other paper money...

The quality of this post is reaching new lows. OP is repeating himself and wrote 3 same sentences with the same meaning to make the post look bigger.
Bitcoin's popularity and popularity? Please!

STOP SHITPOSTING

No it won't be legally accepted meaning that it will be a recognized currency that governments will support along their own fiat.

and i far away from kidding mate if they start to ban cryptos also in other countries will be huge problem something very big will happen ...like what

you need to understand simple equation, we are much more of them it first second business happy to work with crypto already answered this even kid know why you paid in value that grow over time, also with cryptos there is no problem with the rises of prices on products in supermarkets and other things because the nature of crypto to grow...ask smart teacher math what the value of bitcoin can be he know which equation to use and calculate alll this post the answer here

its so huge fucking astronomical....

now to the interesting shit what will happen if huge ban will start and i far from kidding alot of high profile people around the world that work with cryptos and have huge chunk which was probably in some pool in order to hide some facts about the coins from where they are and much more....will fight back in shady ways...

i will give you example, Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed for exposing real shit about politicians and other organizations,, read your self....

what do you think will happen in generation Z after all this shit they done and kill great honest people that expose what politician do....

something very big and unexpected will happen, ...

I think bitcoin will be accepted my most people in 10 years but i'm not sure if all in every country will because no matter how good the currency there will always some people against it but who knows maybe just maybe. Bitcoin has increased popularity and 10 years is still a long way to go so we really can't tell as of now.

Look at China they bans Bitcoin, so it's already impossible to see Bitcoin getting accepted on every country :^)

This is irrelevant, just look at our situation. Even though we already have the popularity yet you still suffer with the losses. Your opinion is wrong.

It's very possible for that to happen because we see many big companies now acknowledge bitcoin and starts to adopt to their payment channels. Many will still happen in 10 years and if I'm correct 2 bitcoin halvings must happen first before that and Imagine how much bitcoin's value by that time.

There are some countries that are already accepted cryptocurrency and some establishments are creating awareness to other people.

Although this is happening in most countries, there are some countries that is not accepting crypto. I think in the next 10 years, the possibilities of Bitcoin and crypto in general to be accepted in every country increases but I doubt that there will be a few countries that will reject it.

I'm not really sure what you mean by legally. I assume you mean spending crypto as legal tender. I think it better or stays outside the law and remain decentralized. I agree that in the future and im sure in ten years crypto will be spendable offline in shops. Ten years is double the time crypto has been around and look already how far we have come.  

maybe most of the countries around the globe but not all of it. you will always find a stray cat from the pack. but the adoption might be fantastic at that time! every industry or application that you can think of, blockchain technology would be their selling power!!! so it would be an interesting age for all of us one way or another, particularly to those who are already oriented with crypto.

Indeed this was the biggest mistake made by India and very soon all the countries are legally going to accept Bitcoin payments and that will be soon. I mean come on India is a place where where most of the bad things like smoking stuff, alcohol, and even drugs are legal up to some point but the government banned Bitcoin because it was not paying any taxes are they are simply afraid of how Bitcoin works our it will be a reason for the economic crisis. I thought banks can do better than this.

Politics will continue to be the hindrances for this to happen,  10 years time frame might work but don't relied on it, only if the government of each countries will allow keeping how things works as decentralized system,.

Bitcoin will be able to make it as a usable payment system  when there's no longer hesitation from each countries allowing the system to work freely from their jurisdiction.

Yes, it really will be one of the main problems in the course of the upcoming legalization of cryptocurrency by the states. Moreover, even after the legalization of cryptocurrency, the state will constantly try to establish additional frameworks for the use of cryptocurrency, and this should be ready. However, I do not think that the next ten years everything will be so smooth with the legalization of cryptocurrency. It seems to me that it will always be a big problem for states.

Now we are seeing how payments using cryptocurrency become legal in some countries. I don’t think that in 10 years Bitcoin will be accepted everywhere. There are countries on the planet with fairly conservative policies that can prevent the introduction of payments with digital money.

I have little doubt that in the next 10 years, Bitcoin will be adopted in legal terms. Of course, if economically developed countries such as the USA, Germany, China, etc. will accept the general legal legal regulation of bitcoin then it will significantly speed up the process of accepting bitcoin worldwide. But this is a complex bureaucratic process and it’s not a fact that in the next 10 years it will be possible to settle it and integrate Bitcoin into the existing financial world system. After all, in fact, Bitcoin will then have to replace the dollar.

I don't know if bitcoin will be legally accepted in every country in the next 10 years because we don't know what will happen in the future. But if that is only a prediction, then we can say that it could be possible to happen in the future. 10 years is a long time, and everything can happen in that time. Maybe bitcoin doesn't need 10 years to be accepted in every country, and I hope it will be accepted in less than 10 years.

No one knows what happens in the future but in my opinion it is not impossible to happen in the next ten years or another years especially now that bitcoin is more popular than before. I am very positive and full of hope that it will going to happened.

It's hard to say but maybe there's a possibility since a lot of countries allows their people to use bitcoin but there are still some countries who are strongly against it and we never know how long they will try to ban the use of bitcoin. But I think 10 years is not enough if you're saying "all countries" will legally accept bitcoin.

I think so.Because bitcoin is king of world electronic money.When the world become more closer,exchange money is need.USD to EUR,USD to GBP,YEN,CNY. This is hard. Lot of currencies,lot of time,lot of fees many more problems.So they had choose common electronic currency.So here comes to chance for bitcoin.After that bitcoin legally accepted in every country in the next 10 years. That is for sure.

Can you tell us if Japan donot accept/recognized Bitcoin?  How about Belarus?  Switzerland?  Even though US is kinda strict about Bitcoin, they recognized it as medium of exchange.  In my country, the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas recognized Bitcoin as mode of payment.  I wonder what get in to your mind to think that no government will accept Bitcoin legally.

Though, as optimistic as I am, I do not think that Bitcoin will be accepted in all country after 10 years.  There are still many country that is hostile to Bitcoin and thinking to ban it all together.  There will always be a naye sayer in the industry and the government of a country is not exempted.

I think will be accepted in the next 10 years on most countries, but i think not on all countries because some of them are still against bitcoin and crypto. But i wish that all countries to accept it.

Next 10 years is long time for bitcoin for legal acceptance in next 5 years we may see most of the countries form legal guidelines for crypto currency so the mass adoption may start with crypto currency

I have no idea. how about bitcoin legally in the future, especially the next 10 years. I certainly hope that government policies will be more soft towards for bitcoin. now in some countries that are currently still banning bitcoin can change their policies, and give a lot of permission in local or global economic development.

It would be awesome. who knows it could be possible? bitcoin made it so far already, that now it sounds almost like a easy walk for bitcoin to get to legalised in all the countries. seems bitcoin, can really make its way becoming the world first currency out hehehehe.

I don't think so. In most of the Western developed countries - sure. In some countries of Asia and Africa - yes, certainly. In EVERY country? No way. There are too many countries to agree, and the countries are too diverse as well. Take North Korea, for instance, that is known to possess Bitcoin and yet I don't think it's actually legal for citizens. There is quite a list of countries that already made up their mind about Bitcoin. Some of them might change their mind in case it gets obvious that there are more advantages in allowing it than disadvantages. But someone always stays behind, offering ridiculous legislation to ensure that people don't have freedom.

The progress and popularity of bitcoin has always increased but I am not sure that bitcoin can be accepted in all countries, because there are still many countries that oppose the existence of bitcoin.
it is not easy to accept bitcoin legally, because it requires a long process because there will definitely be pros and cons in government institutions.
we'll see later and everyone hopes that bitcoin will grow better in the future.

Not sure about a 10year target but I'm pretty sure that bitcoin will surely gain wide acceptance as its receiving very positive publicities

It does not need to be 10 years necessarily ::)
We are already seeing positive feedback from many countries which are implementing crypto currencies into their daily lifes and that brings us to the question if every other remaining country will adopt the same mentality.
Surely we will be seeing this out in many more countries it is a matter of time and politics.

Well nobody knows the fuutre and what it holds but i am very optimistic that by the next 10 years the adoptino of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin might have doubled as at now. Some countries have opened its arms already to the use of cryptocurrencies and i hope other countries are also going to do same.

acceptance by merchants or ordinary people is different than acceptance by the government or I usually called it an official recognition since that will includes many regulation and will make bitcoin legal, it seems that bitcoin still have the hardway to deal with that.

Possible depend on how to encourage the leader of each country or how the leader of every country understand well bitcoin as new form of money to approve and adopt bitcoin as legal tender in all country for the next 10 years.

With bitcoin all the legit and originally concepts cryptocurrency will go along adoptions worldwide because alone cannot sustain the needs of crypto users when time comes that fiat becomes secondary option for usage,in the next 10years we will be seeing more of bitcoin growth over that 10 years time

The fact that every country is now thinking of making their own cryptocurrencies means they will maybe ban Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies and then whole together bring out a new one that will be different for different countries.
It's had to think that every country will start accepting Bitcoins because right now they are all set on banning it.
But at the same time few big countries are supporting Bitcoins and people can you know take a look at this and then urgetheir government to do the same .
We cannot be sure about anything.
It's hard to think really .

A lot will depend on the stance being taken by the government of the United States. Almost a third of the users are from that country, and even the other government looks up to the US for guidance. As of now, Bitcoin is pretty legal in the US, but the tax calculations are a bit complex. New tax laws have made it tough for the margin traders and many of them were forced to give up trading or shift their operations to some other jurisdiction.

Bitcoin may become known world wide but some country may not accept it legally as a currency or a means of payment, its hard to impose tax to a very volatile bitcoin.

I seriously doubt that it could ever happen in "every country" because there is just no way that we can see a unified world that everyone agrees on the same thing. you can take any other subject and see how everyone is disagreeing about and bitcoin should not be any different.
all we can say is that majority of countries will have been accepted bitcoin legally in 10 years and only a handful of countries would do otherwise. just as today there are countries that have accepted bitcoin as a legal way of payment, some others are accepting it as a commodity (!!!) and there are even cases of total ban.

We can question the future of Bitcoin, but the significant and long-term impact of electronic currencies on the financial market is undeniable.

I think that in 10 years there will be nonsense in thinking about banning any crypto... I strongly believe that in 10 years time, crypto will be the society standard for value exchange... not only BTC, but crypto in general....
countries and borders will have a different meaning

Big corporations and banks are already trying to find how to make money out of this. They already how useful Bitcoin is, but they still haven't decided how to exploit as much money as possible.

There are are attempts to create their own digital version of a cryptocurrenty, while trying really hard to discredit Bitcoin.
This is the main strategy right now with Facebook and JP Morgan in the front of the race.

Every government, bank and corporation is calling blockchain a great technological advancement, but at the same time they bash Bitcoin and anything that has to do with it.
It is most clear that they would be happy to see Bitcoin fail as they can't make the most out of it, even with trading desks or exchanges they recently bought.

Banks and governments will keep Bitcoin on the grey zone for at least the next 5-10 years, until they either defeat it by creating something new that will be publicly accepted, or accept defeat and accept Bitcoin as a universal currency.

If we see as of now there are already more countries are legalized btc especially the most developed countries. But its just only a small countries are not recognized btc as of now, but in the next years we believe they begun to accept also btc. That few countries you will say they will convince of the role of bitcoin in the people especially to the country.

It will be great news but how sure are we this is feasible. We are struggling with regulation for now and we are here talking about it been legalised in all countries. For me, if government finds ways to regulate crypto thn 10yrs is too far for me

There are also crime organizations that uses bitcoin as their payment channel.  Criminals can make transacion anonymously because of bitcoin. As long as this problem won't have a solution I don't think bitcoin will be legal in all countries. Transporting money across countries would be easier because of bitcoin and criminals would take advantage of that.

Yes. I definitely think that bitcoin will be legally accepted in the next 10 years but not all of the countries but most of them. In our country, Philippines, bitcoins is being accepted gradually as time goes by and this really helps us.

This is what I am expecting but frankly speaking this kind of happenings is very difficult to obtain knowing that every country has it's own policies.

But if it will happen someday then all the crypto supporters will surely evolve to the next levels. Though 10 years is very short time for all the country to accept crypto currency fully and making it legal.

It's pretty much feasible even though there are several cases against the said Bitcoin. Gradually many other countries have made their intentions know about their national coins creation which directly or indirectly will affect Bitcoin. Remember, Bitcoin is the first and will be respected at the end. According to news, it will take some years to rewrite Bitcoin, until then let wait.

I doubt if it's going to be possible in all countries, there are still countries who will be against Bitcoin it's not about popularity it's about a particular country's system of government, you cannot expect a totally communist country to give its people total freedom to trade and hold cryptocurrency, they are not doing that in some countries.

In 10 years I see a combination of widespread legalization and tolerance or decriminalization. Nations that are hostile to bitcoin will find themselves falling behind economically, affecting the revenues generated by these governments, and they will be forced to introduce legislation welcoming bitcoin, albeit sheepishly. It will be a bitter pill for them but they will have no other choice.

I live in Croatia and I'm sure that our authorities will follow rules and regulations from EU.
Tax office has recently provided instructions on how to report and pay crypto income tax what is great step for us.
In their instructions they mentioned the decision of the EU Court about crypto currencies.
It looks like things go well and maybe in ten years Bitcoin will be fully legally accepted in EU.

Yeah, the name bitcoin is increasingly dominating the crypto currency world. Bitcoin is increasingly popular and has increasing trust. Public trust in bitcoin from day to day is getting better. This can be seen from the many active bitcoin players that have been increasing rapidly lately. I am sure that in the next ten years, all countries will accept the existence of bitcoin as part of the currency. Bitcoin will complete financial functions that cannot be done with fiat currencies. But I'm not sure that other crypto currencies will also be accepted. What is clear, this bitcoin will be accepted and has a recognized position such as fiat currency.

it is possible that at least 50 countries legalize bitcoin. The issue of legalization of bitcoin has been dealt with too slow, I would argue that this is being ignored by many governments. Most governments have not banned bitcoin, but also have not legalized bitcoin, so it becomes very complicated to have a large adoption under these conditions of uncertainties

In the next 10 years to come btc must have gain greater adoption than it has already gain at present, before now not many people where involved in cryptocurrency but with every passing day more people are coming in to the ecosystem, many online and offline merchants now accept btc for transaction, btc has evolved for the past decades and will continue on that part,
Btc awareness has increase so will it's acceptance, it may not be every country but certainly a greater part of the world would have accepted btc by then.

Why do you want to regulate something decetralized?


I am pretty sure all countries at least have somewhere you can spend bitcoins at. Even thrid world countries are adopting it and it can be used for certain things. This is the power of bitcoin, anyone from anywhere can utilize the power of the blockchain even if they live in the middle of nowhere. (so long as they have internet)

It has long been necessary to come to an agreement that cryptocurrencies should be given official status. Because it makes no sense to stop the process of creating new settlement systems that is already running. Yes, now few are ready to buy cryptocurrency. But people's interest is growing, needs too. If the British government is ready to come to a legislative settlement of this issue, then other European countries may soon follow their example.

10 the magic number, who will be presenting bitcoin for its legalisation and as far as I can tell not all countries are in support of this crypto technology, some country has given its decision to jail citizens upto 10years in jail and if others are thinking in these lines not all countries will be in support.

there are so many cool projects appearing, ready to help those who wish to master cryptocurrency investments, for example taklimakan. And this is logical, because since there is a tendency of growth in the number of people interested in cryptocurrency, then new platforms appear for this request. Such facts cannot be ignored by the government, and quite soon all countries will give cryptocurrency legal status.

It is difficult to give a certain status to cryptocurrencies, when even Bitcoin developers are unknown. Perhaps that's why they are pulling with the solution. But after Microsoft announced that they are planning to do a project that helps with the launch of blockchain projects, it is likely that Europe and the United States will support this initiative and take part in the regulatory process.

Since cryptocurrencies are decentralized, even their creators do not have full control over them. On the stock exchange, we see how easily price can be manipulated, which led to last year's Bitcoin collapse. But now there are more and more offers of security tokens that are practically liquid to securities, this should strengthen the market and open the door to establish rules that should be followed to preserve investors' guarantees.

OP, there is no way Bitcoin will be recognized in every country of the world. This isn't possible even in the next 200 years. To start with, the British Pound Sterling (the highest fiat) isn't even recognized in every country, let alone Bitcoin with all its attendant and confusing technology.

Governments are pulling the regulation of cryptocurrency for so long, because it has no restrictions. No one will tell you, you cannot invest in your low credit status. No, everyone is equal here. And it is this that stops the structure of power, because they are afraid to completely lose control over the circulation of funds.

Based on what facts are you assuming that the government will accept bitcoin or other crypto currencies within the next 10 years? Yeah, the government is showing some interested on "blockchain" technology, but this does not mean that they will start accepting or consider bitcoin as a legal tender. They might start making their own currency using the technology which might not be decentralized like bitcoin and most of the crypto currencies.

i'm pretty sure Bitcoin will be accepted in every country in the next 10 years or at least 20 years
but i'm curious when that happens, is Bitcoin ready to handle transactions from all countries?

This is more like wishful thinking , there are a lot of countries which are not even able to use electronic payments like PayPal in our times.
I think that countries which will be able to make appropriate laws and framework for crypto currencies will be those who will legally acept btc payments but there most certainly will be countries in 10 years , which will not allow it.

I don`t think so, Bitcoin is tax free and if it will gonna be accepted or become legal in every country, then surely it will get taxed which contradicts it`s decentralization. Though there will always be positive and negative effect of legalizing bitcoin in every country, but surely government will control it.

Not in the near future, but maybe in a long time. it is undeniable that technological development will not be able to be dammed. what the government forbids the spread of bitcoin, will continue to run and will never stop, and the government will certainly prefer to cooperate or not at all. they will definitely adopt blockchain system

I think not just Bitcoin but it will come together with the altcoins that knows how to work properly like Ethereum, XRP, and Litecoin. Bitcoin is getting more popular and there are already companies that works with it so it's not really impossible if 10 years from now, it will be accepted.

that might happen in many countries that can adopt bitcoin, but with many conditions including bitcoin can provide benefits and can help in many countries. maybe this will provide an opportunity for bitcoin to be in various countries within the next 10 years

Yes, each state will decide in its own way about the legalization of Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency. Moreover, for the time being they will define cryptocurrency in different ways and give it a legal characteristic. Also, the conditions for the legalization of cryptocurrency can also be different. I also admit that some states will not accept cryptocurrency for circulation on their territory. It will be a complex and ambiguous process and it looks like it will take a long time.

I am not sure which country you are living in, if you are not giving a tax for bitcoin that does not mean that bitcoin is not taxable and bitcoin is not meant to be tax free and decentralization does not mean that you can hide your money and not pay your taxes  :D. Even if there is no regulation for bitcoin within your country you are bound to pay your taxes as income from other sources to avoid future penalties, if you are not making that much money from the bitcoin market then you have nothing to worry  :P.

Well we have seen how much it has grown from the past 10 years how many companies and countries had accept it,
And we have seen the fast growth of adaptation in the past few years so I think in the next 10 more years we could see it being legally accepted in every country and being used by everyone and could be used as a normal currency to pay for all of our transaction.

I do not think it will Take 10 years. Japan has already implemented put two coins on their country and soon more and more countries are going to be inspired by that and gonna take action about cryptocurrencies. They are trying to embrace the technology without needing to ban it. Bitcoin has a huge market and it has extremely high potentials which if harnessed correctly then it can lead to complete new future with a lot of possibilities.

There is a possibility that bitcoin can legally accepted in all countries but for me its a long procedure and it is difficult to  decentralized in whole country especially for those countries that have a large poverty population.Bitcoin has high potential to take all the transaction in the next 10 years but it could not possible to legally mass adoption in all cointries.

Most of the developed countries already adopting crypto currency soon most of third world countries too accept bitcoin as main payment processor soon we may see mass adoption of crypto currencies faster than before

The chance is very less. As we hear that in some countries the government doesn't consider bitcoin as legal mode of payment.

Well, why not? Maybe those countries who are in doubt in the capabilities of bitcoin and those who banned it in their areas can reconsider the positive side of digital currencies like bitcoin. We can never tell the future. Though criticisms are always there and serves as a hindrance to fully adopt it, we can never give up with the possibilities.

 Physical money or even digital money, there is always been an issue. We only need one thing for adoption and that is "acceptance".

I only hope that it will happen in less than 10 years for bitcoin to be legally accepted in all countries because right now, many states already know about bitcoin and people in out there have already seen the bitcoin promotion from many websites. I am sure that they are aware of this and many of them is trying to join in bitcoin and learn more about bitcoin. Maybe it will happen in the next 5 years or so as we don't know what will happen in the future and we could only promote and hope that soon bitcoin will be accepted in all countries.

Most of the country remains in the state of neutral, that's not recognizing bitcoin as a currency but at the same time didn't ban bitcoin and just consider it as a digital assets, like US that consider bitcoin as digital property if I'm not mistaken.
The chance is not that less if the west consider crypto as a safe thing and legal, the other countries will usually follow.

Well in my opinion yes if bitcoin will become real fiat.why not to be legally if consider as money.even to those country that bitcoin banned.I believe that bitcoin possible to be legally by any  transaction.using digital currency by the help of internet all can be use bitcoin where ever you are so why not make us legal currency that can be use of all people.legal can be use bitcoin.and also even it is illegal using of internet they will never know you use bitcoin.beside bitcoin can be cash out without knowing of any one using a digital wallet.so it means it is possible to be in legal way so that those who patronize bitcoin can be giving a chance.
Hoping for those who ban bitcoin in there country give a chance bitcoin to use.
This is just my opinion.

Many country were now practicing using bitcoin as a way of payment and we can't deny the fact that bitcoin is gradually taking its place to be legalized and be used by many people in the world. So I can't be surprised that this thing would happened in the next 10 years.

I don't think so. There are 251 countries around the world and to think that only 111 countries accepts bitcoin. Well, almost half but 10 years is not enough to become bitcoin LEGAL in the last 140 countries. I'm not being negative but just saying. Who knows after 30 years or so Bitcoin will be the leading digital currency globally.

Bitcoin has indeed brought a real change as a payment transaction tool, because the technology used is peer to peer so that it eliminates income that has been enjoyed by third parties, such as banking.
But to be legally acceptable throughout the world, I think it takes a long time. To this day according to credible information Bitcoin is legally accepted in around 100 countries. This is good, because countries that have not received bitcoin can see the benefits of using bitcoin.

In every country? That's going a bit too far. We have a number of countries which frequently manipulate their national currencies (such as China and the Latin American nations). I don't think that such countries are going to make Bitcoin a legal tender. In case they do that, their national currency will crash and inflation may get out of control.

The process of using bitcoin is happening as you say, some countries have begun to accept and legalize bitcoin, they are allowing people to use bitcoin in some payment methods but you should understand that everything seems to be just an experiment, the government is checking whether bitcoin is really appropriate or not. And I'm seeing this process facing many difficulties when many countries have protested and banned bitcoin, want Bitcoin to be accepted everywhere for the next 10 years, it will be very difficult

I think that this is not excluded, When there will be a massive implementation of cryptocurrency in the daily life of a person.  And we are not talking about Bitcoin, because there are quite a lot of projects in the cryptocurrency market that will work in different areas of human life, and use their personal cryptocurrency.  If you take into account plans that have certain sources cooked Well, that some officials of the G-20 countries are preparing a subject for discussion in the near future at a summit regarding cryptocurrency and the problems of users of cryptocurrency.  Thus, it is possible to reveal about a real and positive study of the subject demand, which is very important for the entire cryptocurrency market.

Whatever can happen within the next 10 years, now what we have to do is we must continue to do the best for Bitcoin and continue to support it in everything.  We can also help spread Bitcoin by introducing to our friends who are not familiar with Bitcoin.  Bitcoin struggle is not easy to be accepted by all levels of society, and government.  But that is not not going to happen, we Bitcoiners must remain optimistic.

No one is sure if cryptocurrencies will be legally accepted within the next 10 years because not all leaders have the same positive views. Some authoritarian-like leaders that won't recognize virtual currencies might still be around also within the next ten years. But I believe that majority of the countries will have a positive views on cryptocurrencies and become crypto-friendly within that mentioned time duration.

For those country that banned bitcoin, i think thwy would accept bitcoin after 10 years because bitcoin was adapted and legalized on some countries and does a good thing on some country's economy. Bitcoin helps the economy in such way that even unemployed persons can do so, and i think bitcoin advantages would be a factor for legalizing bitcoin on countries that bitcoin banned.

This is the best answer that ive read so far and i agree on it . not all governments/countries are the same or have the same minds  .

some are strict and some only care about them selves , they dont care about what other people think about bitcoin .

they might continue to ban bitcoin because they want to protect their country men from frauds and other negativity effects that bitcoin can bring  while other are going to accept bitcoin because they see that btc can be helpful .

Not so many countries do it. European countries are loyal and friendly to Bitcoin, but not all as well. As I have heard crypto was even prohibited in Russia, and now, it is illegal to with it there. Probably, in 5-8 years, the situation will change.

Thats my hope, but i think bitcoin is still far to be recognized and adopted in every year in the next 10 years, thats because central bank will trying as hard as they can to make peper money still dominant

I agree with you. I like being positive about this movement but in this case in 10 years we will see improvements that we can't even imagine right now but legal in absolutely all the countries is extremely unlikely.

The only possibility i can think of based on some conspiracy theories is a world government who would declare it legal. Done, problem solved.

Development of bitcoin were running smoothly although there was some countries attempts to banned but many countries has open their mind for bitcoin but i'm not sure within 10 years bitcoin will be accepts for every countries in the world because every countries have their own definitions to see bitcoin however i'm very optimistic on that year at least 20% or more from total amount of countries in the world will accept bitcoin and lets see it later

I'm pretty sure that's going to happen in the future. In another way it cant be, bitcoin is developing and very soon it will be supported by almost all countries in the world. And its use will be very large-scale.

At first glance I thought you are stating a fact but I was wrong, I lately notice the question mark in your title Lol. Actually, I'm about to rant already, my bad ;D.

IMHO, I don't think that would be possible and let me give you just only one reason why — Technological gap. Full crypto revolution for the whole world for the next 10 yrs. is not possible for me because I'm pretty sure that poverty was still there. Poor countries can't adopt simply because they don't have the capability to do so.

I do think that 10 years will be not enough for Bitcoin to be legalized in every country because there will surely be some countries that have a different point of view about this technology and they see it as a threat to their economy and it is hardly that they would have a change of heart to make it as a legal means of investment or asset. I think it is really impossible to be legalized in every country in the world but it will most likely be legalized in the major countries that see that potential of this technology.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not much different than with dollars, euros or pounds. that is, someone can make money with a large nominal with only a small capital. this is the relationship between the intrinsic value of the currency and the nominal value of the currency, and what makes paper money acceptable to the public is the public trust in propaganda made by the large elite ...

if only bitcoin is trusted by everyone, open it is no longer possible that bitcoin will become the official currency for the digital world in the next 10 years. not only being a legal currency, but bitcoin can be a currency that is required as a payment medium

Bitcoin will be legal on previous country when they use behind blockchain of technology. Not every country i thing, because they already hate bitcoin imposible to implementing it. 10 years has been along time for 5 country possible to accepting bitcoin.

I'm not sure that within 10 years bitcoin will be accepted in every country, but I can be sure that it will probably be accepted in 10-20 countries, this is my guess.

I am even quite positive  about bitcoin.. i think this is a positive step..we should appreciate  this step.. well if bitcoin legally accepted in every country then there will be less chances of scams.

Yes  definatly who knows future.. we just doing prediction and nothing.. well let's  wait and watch..

For sure it will. Bitcoin has come to stay for good and the popularity is spreading periodically all over the continents. Some countries now are beginning to adopt  bitcoin as part of their major transactions. I strongly believe in the next few years will be the main source of peoples income and it will be tradable all over the world

I believe that once China legalizes cryptocurrency and make it as one of their legal currency then having bitcoin as an official currency will be possible in just 5 years. China is the biggest country to hold it and the most powerful country that can make crypto possible. They are now using QR codes as payments and most of the time they transact via online. Let's just hope they will think about it soon.

We can only predict the future and that is why we are saying our views about the current state of the market. Bitcoin is too good to be ignored and that is why if any country can legalised it we would see more countries adopting it. I don’t see any country refusing bitcoin in the next ten years and that is why I agree with those that are seeing bitcoin making great impact in future.

at any moment bitcoin could really become acceptable as mode of payment someday. We just don't know when will that happen because the market was so unpredictable. But many of the communities in the entire world now believed that would happen.

The way it is growing and how people are accepting it for payments and purchased worldwide, governments will also realise its benefits and make it legal.

If the major economies legalize Bitcoin, then it will be automatically made legal in the vast majority of the world nations. Already Bitcoins are legal in countries such as United States, Germany, Great Britain and Japan. A similar legalization in other super-powers such as Russia, China, South Korea.etc can be the game changer.

I haven't seen any country that adopt bitcoin as part of their major transactions though, even US only recognize bitcoin as digital assets/property and not a currency. maybe adopting blockchain is more common and does make more sense if used to make transactions efficient but adopting bitcoin for that kind of thing for the government's need, never heard of that.

I might not live this long. I can not wait that long anymore it has to be 3 years. If its true that facebook will release their own coin, then it will fast track the adoption that will make bitcoin be accepted anywhere. Most people by 2020 will already have phones at least those who live where technology can reach. Phones are the ones going to also help the adoption, Samsung has already a built in wallet for every phone and at the same time facebook app is in every phone too. What will stop adoption?

I estimate that bitcoin for the next 10 years can be accepted by many countries, but not as a means of payment. Bitcoin can be traded as an investment tool where the state can monitor to reduce negative impacts.
Like in my country, bitcoin is prohibited as a payment tool, but bitcoin is not prohibited as a futures investment, so bitcoin investors can still enjoy trading comfortably and safely because they do not violate the law.

I believe cryptocurrency have it's continuous journey, it probably 10 years is long enough before people will know about crypto. With that long gap,  I may think that crypto will be legally consider as a currency. It only may encounter some problems in the area where internet isn't available but to those who have a static internet connection will probably be accepting it.

Well i am quite positive about bitcoin.. yeah i am sure that in next 10 year, bitcoin will be legally accepted in every country.. and people  will earn more and more through  bitcoin..

Yes we just predict  about bitcoin..  bitcoin price gradually change as time passes...

Well, now bitcoin already spend 10 years or may be more, but still the situation is not going too good, but may be more than 10 years the governments who don't agree on it to accept bitcoin legally.
But in my opinion, it is hard because in the coming years definitely bitcoin price will be high more and more, now most of the governments are not accepting bitcoin then in that time when bitcoin will be out of control then how could governments legalistic it.   

In my opinion, it doesn't have to wait for the next 10 years to see the development of bitcoin in every country, indeed it doesn't feel that bitcoin has been running for 10 years, but many countries that until now have not legalized bitcoin, it is very difficult for our government to legalize bitcoin as the second currency, but with the news now, about big businesses like Facebook and Samsung who are planning to make a breakthrough, it makes Libra coins and will be followed up with a Samsung business that will make Cryptocurrency coins, and it is impossible if a large company doesn't follow in the footsteps Facebook and Samsung, most likely it will be seen in 2020/2021 ..

We don't know about that. There are a lot of people speculating or stating that Bitcoin will not be a thing in the future, at first I am not looking at it seriously since there are a lot of supporters of Bitcoin but now, there are a lot of reasons that this might happen and it is starting with the bans that are happening. I hope Bitcoin won't be destroyed like that.

10 years is long enough to  consider as many adoptions are now being showed around the globe, bitcoin will get more interest from many people that
will understand the very benefits of this industry, if they will discover the opportunities they will surely accept and use this system.

10 years is really a long enough period for the popularity of bitcoin to spread to the entire world, and exactly as you say, more people can realize the potential and opportunities in using this system but in the process of using and searching for bitcoin's value, the chances of bitcoin being legally accepted will be very low. Bitcoin holders are probably very comfortable getting interesting features from bitcoin while the government will have the opposite feeling, it does not belong to their control, the scope of acceptance in every country will be impossible

in the next 10 years if bitcoin still exists I think this will be one of the cryptocurrency currencies that are accepted in all countries. now bitcoin is being studied in many countries and bitcoin will still continue to be endeavored to be able to decorate the transaction system in various countries

this of course would be an ideal scenario for bitcoin in the future in the next 10 years, but as history shows, most countries want a controlled turnover of money and bitcoin will not be an exception, but still I think this sooner or later we will come.

Bitcoin acceptance is increasing all over the world once bitcoin pump 1000 dollars in just one day then bitcoin popularity gain momentum by next bull run we can expect more adoption and more social acceptance of bitcoin

I think it's too early to predict the exact time when bitcoin would be legally accepted in every part of the world. The adoption is increasing gradually off late and i kind of side with you that bitcoin maybe accepted but most of the altcoins would not be accepted globally.

Yes. Bitcoin has gained the trust of majority so it's really possible that in 10 years or below, bitcoin will be soon accepted and adopted as a currency in every country. For now, it might be too early to say about this but if bitcoin won't stop being famous, then it will really make it in the end.

It can become really popular, but that doesn't guarantee that Bitcoin will be accepted as a currency in most of the world nations. The fundamental problem is that since it is protected against inflation, Bitcoin puts the national currencies at a disadvantage if a level playing field is given. And this is especially true with manipulated national currencies such as the CNY and RUR. In such cases, it will be suicidal for the governments to permit such a scenario.

Probably, who knows that there could be a high chance that there will be good thing to happen in block chain and adaptation. As it seems that more and more company, establishments, group of small and bug businesses are now using a platform that is block chain operated.

This is also why the market price of bitcoin had been surging and we can expect to have a bull run for bitcoin this year.

I still don’t think Bitcoin will be widely accepted in the next 10 years however some cryptocurrency might be though, like Libra coin for example. I’m not sure why there are some people who does not believe in the coin; or maybe it is because of its anonymity, people think its debatable whether the person who created it is a group of people or is just one person which no one can trace him/her.

getting popular does not guarantee the government will warm up and legalize bitcoin, even in the near future the government can legalize bitcoin if the government gets good profits and there are rules that must be applied to crypto users. sooner or later there will definitely be regulation, both will surely find a bright spot for mutual benefit

i think it depend on what happens with bitcoin on that time , i mean if bitcoin didint have any issues like 2012 -2013 ( CMIIW ) that possible if bitcoin will accepted in every country

absolutely sure that it won't be accepted in every country in 10 years
guess the situation overall will be more positive for cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in general , but countries like India won't change their stance
there are many countries that explicitly banned bitcoin altogether , ten years is not some huge period of time , not much will change
for bitcoin to start to be accepted globally it has to be regulated and centralized , it is not going to happen , unless they invent some sort of an energy equivalent of a dollar
therefore the amount of energy you spend to produce something , bitcoin for example is money of the future
but this is just daydreaming , the harsh capitalist reality we are living in says every country has its own interests and it is very hard for them to agree even on the smaller things

I think this is a too short time for the whole world to accept Cryptocurrency. It may take up to 20 years to achieve this goal because many countries are against this. We need to grow faster than any economic sector. Needing to reach the most people, attracting more investors will make things easier to achieve.

I am sure that will happen, but focus on blockchain technology not only on bitcoin itself but maybe from others, I believe that within 1 or 5 years it is even faster than this thread, we cannot deny the sophistication of technology every year. next is digital currency, I believe bitcoin is one of them and certainly will be legal in all countries
 

I dont know whether it will be accepted in all countries, because many countries are negative about it. But it seems to me that most of them will still legally accept bitcoin.

I doubt there will be a time bitcoin will be accepted globally taking a cue from how greedy some governments are. They only wish to be in control and print any amount of money they desire.

In as much that the world we find ourselves is full of surprises, I have strong doubt that in ten years time every country in the world will legally accept the use of Bitcoin.  More than half of the entire population of the world either have no knowledge or little knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Ths will be the normal problem....

As everyone's desire It could be possible to spread out and become legally accepted Bitcoin as a worlds first crypto currency all over the world. 10 from now I believe that Bitcoin will become a primary investment in many countries especially developing countries so it is a good thing to share and care Bitcoin for all people that want to learn about crypto currency.

US is a powerful country that has a great influence in neighboring countries. People sees US as like the capital of the world economy and the main standards of all. So that 10 years can be lessen if bitcoin become widely accepted in the country and become as a main currency just like their fiat USD. Because in my country, anything that is hot and trending, lifestyle or on USA is immediately adopted by my fellow citizens.

That's correct because Bitcoin is volatile by its nature and a currency supposed to be less volatile to be able to use by people on a daily basis such as buying goods and needs, I think merchants wouldn't accept a volatile payment because this will put their businesses in trouble if you get what I mean. This is just based on my own point of view but who knows maybe in the next 10 years Bitcoin may be less volatile when the mass adoption takes in place and the demand for it will soar. 8)

The government is obviously against it.

I mean people will be using BTC instead of fiat since they are anonymously transacting money. The government will be having a hard time tracking those transactions that they might suspect of transactions illegally or transactions to terrorists. All we know is that they are getting interested in the technology of it, the Blockchain.

I'm not sure if all country will accept and legalize bitcoin in the next ten years. In fact some countries have yet to legalize bitcoin because of the concern of the government bitcoin used as a means of money laundering or other financial crimes, but if the entire state to find an agreement to mitigate such risks, perhaps the dream can become a reality.

I agree! I think we’ll just see more regulations from different countries during the next 10 years.
I mean 10 years sounds like a long time but actually it’s not easy to make some regulations properly. So i think many countries will just work on to define and regulate the Bitcoin.

Of course they can and they should and not only that but they also should definitely separate Bitcoin used for legal purposes from those used for illegal ones in the ideas domain.

If they continue being closed to the possibility and reality that it is a tool that can be used for both right and wrong of course they will fail on thinking objectively about the problem.

maybe not all countries in the next 10 years but I'm sure there will be many changes in various countries maybe the use of bitcoin will be more regulated, and that doesn't happen in every country, because they have their own legal regulations.

What type of regulation that you mean? Currently almost all countries has accepted bitcoin but it's function is limited. Such as in my country bitcoin has been accepted to be use as an asset or trading place. I can use bitcoin in the local exchange which choosen by government and I'm free to use it although I must pay a tax per every withdraw. But my country has been banned if bitcoin be used as payment system, they fear to the function of their currency and also bitcoin price is so volatile. You don't need a long time for bitcoin be accepted by all countries in this world because bitcoin is really deserve to be accepted.

Yep, there's more regulations that will take to each countries that will allow and adopt this new digital currency, maybe it's not every county but
it can be more of those countries that starting to believe and adopting this system.

Ten years is a lot of time and by that time crypto will be established and maybe the world single currency. Maybe we see the end of dollars by that time and all the fiat too. We may be in the era of digital currencies only and bitcoin leading them all in a decade time.

Who knows the future? No one! All we can expect, wait and predict! Bitcoin needs to improve many things to be accepted widely throughout the world! Therefore, I feel BTC is not very good for the developing country! However, If China, Russia, and India accept bitcoin fully in 10 years, that will be more than enough! But India has less possibility now.

It is an undisputable fact that bitcoin will be legalized in almost every country in the world including the countries which have banned it currently. People are now familiarizing themselves on the use case of bitcoin. Legalise bitcoin now!

It might be, but who knows if they'll use to change their mind and adopt cryptocurrency. 10 years is still far and we expect more changes along the way into that and hoping for this coming market developments will lighten up their minds. It will work well if we give support into crypto and never be dumb if we encounter a market crisis.

Right. Five to ten years from now, bitcoin will gain totally acceptance in different countries knowing that as years goes by, bitcoin has become even more popular even in those countries wherein people are mostly not inclined to computer age. They will surely learned using it once bitcoin will be totally adopted by the government.

Five to ten years is a long time and the governments may need to take a decision much sooner than that. As of now, the combined market cap of all the cryptocurrencies stand at $375 billion. It is increasing at a rapid pace with each passing day. Now you can't keep such an asset in legal limbo. Either you need to legalize it, or you need to ban it completely. 

Totally agree.. Legalize it or Ban it? Just like how governments trying to ban Uber / AirBNB for all these years, in the end they will need to legalize it.

Bitcoin as a digital currency leads to its own awareness in a number of governments in the world that Bitcoin does not threaten economic sovereignty or even another way to avoid taxes. The existence of Bitcoin actually shows almost unlimited opportunities.
Hopefully the government can see that there is a blockchain that is public in nature and can be accessed by anyone as long as they are connected to the Internet. This technology allows anyone who has access to the Internet to carry out electronic transactions without intermediaries such as banks

I really hope it happens soon enough. That'd be quite beneficial not just for the crypto market, but also for people in general.
But there are some countries where using crypto is completely banned. So, for something like this to happen, the people who pass these laws need to broaden their minds. If they remain conservative, then idk what'll happen.
In country like India, there's a speculation of banning crypto, and any kind of usage, trade, hodl, just about anything.

Definitely not in North Korea  :P

Decades should be enough, most of countries would stabilize on stance towards BTC when the technology is more mature and well known of its benefits among industries, but no for countries that have a strong sense of regulations and identity verification on those transacting bitcoin over the local market, still i believe BTC opens lots of opportunities and covering pitfalls that currencies has, reducing fees and improve efficiency overall. Its a decentralized piece of assets and attempts to stop it is very futile i believe on those days

I totally agree with your opinion, the current technology is only improving and facilitating the use of these encrypted currencies, Btc is currently at the top, has dominated the transactions of users.

It is like praising your far-reaching approach. Block-chain are now valid in almost every country. Although not valid, they do not say anything. In some countries it is illegal. They have accepted it for the popularity of Bitcoin. Whatever the price, the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing gradually. After 10 years, Bitcoin will be through the main of the transaction. In that case, after all the countries will make it valid.

I also believe in this, that in the next 10 years the world will accept Bitcoin. But most likely Bitcoin will be fully controlled by the states. Not even that. People owning Bitcoins will be controlled by the state and there will be no more anonymous transactions. Most likely, a person will register a certain purse, and transactions for new or anonymous wallets will be monitored by the regulatory authorities. I do not know how it will be, but I think that Bitcoin will completely lose its anonymity.

it can become a reality if there is a country that controls the movement of the bitcoin currency if the current bitcoin currency is only speculative then I think 10 years to come bitcoin is nothing for a country in this world

The most important part my friend is that there most be an alternative for the few who wants to take care of their own stuffs.

It's obvious that will be the reality in the future for the masses since they don't care about learning too much just about being comfortable.

The thing is those who do want to learn about it can keep believing in the core principles by which this technology was created and also implement them in their life with few issues.

Of course it is clearly a highly coveted expectation, but even so it can be ascertained that there are still countries that will not be able to accept bitcoin, because obviously certain reasons might be different from the point of view and socialization in that country. uniting opinions is not an easy matter even though technological advances have already taken place and almost all countries have implemented them.

10 years is long so there will be alot of surprises that will or could happen within this time frame and that may include the acceptance of bitcoin throughout the other countries that restricts btc before  but let say the state of bitcoin adoption will be the same as today , i think that is already enough because the price of btc is already high and its enough for an average joe to earn an income plus he can also opt to use his btc for online transactions such as paying or sending money  .

Bitcoin won't be accepted everywhere. I believe that we have another crypto for the whole world, but bitcoin will be only for some special people.

Is a question or it's a statement to say if it will or won't, definitely before the next ten years bitcoin will be a huge asset to have. And those who took part will gain from it.

The process has already began in most countries and am excited about the huge popularity bitcoin is gaining in recent times. I guess there is more in stock for all those who believe in the power of bitcoin as a mainstream currency for various business transactions.

Countries such as Japan and Switzerland have legalized the status of Bitcoin and many more countries are thinking about doing the same. Bitcoin futures and derivatives are being traded in established stock exchanges around the world, and this has enabled mainstream investors to make their investments in cryptocurrency. IMO, the situation can only improve during the next few years.

I am huge fan of bitcoin.because bitcoin is so useful for me.I believe in bitcoin popularity.but 10 years from now I think quite hard to be legally all over the world.because as I think the government of other countries still won't accept bitcoin.it is because they can not intervene bitcoin.we all know that government is corrupt so some countries won't accept bitcoin.But  I still believe in popularity of bitcoin and I know eventually if there's so much countries using bitcoin.and cryptocurrency will be popular even in the country who band bitcoin I know eventually they will curious about bitcoin and suddenly will try bitcoin.but as I said its gonna be hard for those countries that bitcoin is not accepted.but who know what will happen in the near future if bitcoin became a universal digital fiat money also.well let's see if this gonna be happen.

Bitcoin has gone mainstream for the past few years. There is no reason why we cannot see Bitcoin transactions all over the world in the next decade. And with the advent of famous and huge companies even facebook getting into the crypto sphere, it is going to be unstoppable. Actually, a good number of countries are already aware of Bitcoin, some of them have already issued regulations on its use.

This is one of the reasons why I believe that the entry of Libracoin can be a boon for Bitcoin. Mark Zuckerberg has essentially stolen the idea from Satoshi Nakamoto and created his own version of cryptocurrency. The governments are definitely not going to ban Libra. And now they can't ban Bitcoin because that would be like giving unfair advantage to its competitors. 

Nowadays, we all knows that Bitcoin was very popular worldwide, where some of the country actually regulated it already like Japan, China, Australia and more. So, 10 years from now if that will happen it means the prediction about the world currency will be fulfill which is none other than Bitcoin. In fact, I felt that 2017 is now happened it again about bitcoin bull run.

All cryptoinvestors are waiting for one thing - a multiple growth rate of digital money. Top industry experts made their predictions and explained why the current value of the main coin is only the beginning of a long way.
In 10 years, Bitcoin will be legal in many countries of the world, this is a 90% probability. (My opinion)

Of course, it is impossible to say for sure, but I hold the opinion that in the coming years we will see the legalization of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Not all countries will do it, but I think many. Since now you can not say that cryptocurrency is a bubble or other such nonsense. Need to keep up with the times.

Cryptocurrency growth will now be supported by Libra which is fronted by Facebook, people's trust in crypto will increase. Even though there are only a few countries that legalize crypto, there are chances that some will want to legalize it. As we know, the digital era is growing and the use of digital money has been implemented in many countries, just waiting for the time.

Popularity of Bitcoin increases day by day. l have no doubt that's in 10 years BTC will be accepted in the world. Some country like India has banned BTC but l would say it wasn't fair. l'm certain it will never repeat this mistake, we will be able to achieve it one day.

Some of the current ban on bitcoin from some countries are the result of poor understanding of bitcoin, others to protect a few selfish companies that exploit the poor. With greater adoption ,there will be pressure on such government to relax relax such ban.

Yeah it will be accepted in every country as soon as possible.. well there are two and three countries which dont accept or which banned the bitcoin.. but hope so that they will also accept the bitcoin..

For me, the percentage of bitcoin's legality in every country has a chance after ten years if most governments are looking at the other side, that this cryptocurrency is the next generation of money that can help them to many reasons. Also, there are some countries already ban bitcoin, but if the big five countries accept bitcoin and finish there analyst about bitcoin, this will be the next massive step in cryptocurrency history. But it still depends on what will happen to bitcoin; ten years is a long time. :)

Actually I can't measure a timeframe when bitcoins could be accepted legally in every country but as long as more countries became more interested in cryptocurrency then most probably this will happen in a matter of time,and im positive about it that it would happen in the future.

It is quite possible that Bitcoin will be legally accepted in every country in the next 10 years. Because people all over the world gradually know about bitcoin and now many people use bitcoin for many purposes. People show their interest in bitcoin and it becomes a modern currency for easy transaction. The use of BItcoin considers it as legally accepted in every country in the next 10 years. I think near future Bitcoin will be legally accepted worldwide.

I don't think that so.
Because there are some country still available which won't accept Bitcoin as legal.Like Bangladesh, Bangladeshi govt is such a dumbass that they won't accept Bitcoin.
They think that if they accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin will steal their money

in my opinion, in the possibility that bitcoin will be accepted in all countries, it can happen, we can see that there are currently several countries that accept transactions in their country, although there are still many countries that refuse but still regulate bitcoin like in my country, bitcoin may not be a means of transaction, and for local markets it is still permissible for transactions and withdrawing at the bank.

You're just saying common words.In fact, I see a tendency that with the rise in the price of bitcoin, many simply can not buy bitcoin.The price of sending from 1 user to another is quite expensive.Because of this, it is not profitable to pay for micropayments with bitcoin.I think that it is legally unlikely to be able to somehow even characterize bitcoin.Therefore, in the next 10 years, bitcoin will not be recognized at the official level.

I also think that sooner or later every country will legally accept bitcoin. Cryptocurrency is the currency of the future and over time it will be more and more popularized. Therefore, it will be difficult to ignore this fact and many countries will accept it.

There is a bigger change that this thing will happen in the next 10/years or less. Some countries really accepted it, some do not consider it as illegal and very few said that it is illegal but I think they will reverse their decision when they saw the advantage to other countries who accepted and embrace Bitcoin.

As a Crypto community, I think we need to support those countries who really accepted it and make our own little way to make their economy as healthy and energetic as possible.

The current world is a technology dependent . I think everyone will want to use technology. Therefore, when everyone understands its benefits.then take every positively.

It is difficult to predict how the different countries will react to the growing acceptance of Bitcoin. Obviously those with manipulated national currencies such as China are going to take a very hostile stance against cryptocurrency. But we need to see how effective this can be. For example, if the coin is banned in China, the users have the option of traveling to Hong Kong or South Korea to do crypto-trading. In the end, the Chinese government will lose valuable tax revenue, and the nationals will continue to use BTC.

Libertarian countries such as Switzerland will take a more friendly stance, but there is no guarantee that this situation will remain as such for infinity. There is going to be a lot of pressure from the other countries to change this policy.

Well, this might be possible considering the recent influence of blockchain technology in the entire ecosystem of the world. But I highly doubt that this will happen in ten years time to come. In as much that the world is gradually revolving, the legalisation of Bitcoin might take more than ten years. 

Of course, there is a lot of possibilities for this but all I am curious is what if something new technology or some new currency concept jumps into the market. I am not offending bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency in the market but this is not the only option a human can have in his life. there is a lot of demand and supply for a lot of things inside the market so it is clearly possible something more advanced or something more appealing to others can easily get people's attention in the market.

Currently, cryptocurrency is banned in some countries like India and some other. What do you think?

I still doubt that after 10 years, it will be legalized. Bitcoin has so many issues and  some governments still do not want Banks to replace by Bitcoin. There will be so many things that will happen in 10 years but governments are centralized and bitcoin is the opposite. How can those countries who banned bitcoin will stand out in the decisions they have already made?

If then it will be amazing, I also have a belief that Bitcoin is going to get an important part of our future life not only that but also it's been a good partner since three or four years for me. It's an absolutely wonderful invention for next development purpose.
I hope people will get a chance to create a handsome investment for future purpose. So this happening will not be difficult anything else. so legalisation of Bitcoin is just demand for present and future perspective. It will be really amazing when I hear that Bitcoin is the legal currency all over the world.

More than possible looking at how many people and institutions are adopting to the digital world it will not surprise me to wake up one day realizing that BTC is now acceptable every where. Its a matter of time.

Now, it's still too early for governments to accept cryptocurrencies, but I think that it will adopted in the next 5-10 years. But firstly, we need to change our politicians :D I found really nice article about the war between governments and cryptocurrencies, you can check (https://www.blockchain24.co/crypto-civil-war/) it.

And that's for sure, as per the growing arena of the Bitcoin and highly acceptance power of BTC among the people will definitely make acceptable in many countries but legal acceptance we can not confront.

For now I think there are some countries that have legalized bitcoin, if we look at the development of bitcoin, maybe for the next 10 years bitcoin will be legalized by several countries. But it will be difficult and requires a lot of struggle and trust to adopt the legacy of bitcoin.

For now I can say bitcoin has been accepted and legalised in some countries which is great news. However some haven't because probably they still know less about bitcoin. Bitcoin in some years will be widely accepted and used for transaction globally. That's my believe belief because the rate at which bitcoin is growing and how people are investing, there's hope and a bright future for bitcoin.

Btc popularity has increased over the past years and gradually the big players are drawing into it. It wouldn't be a surprise to see global acceptance in the next 10 years.

In every country? No. Without going to politics topic, there are places where governments are oppressing even less disruptive ideas. And bitcoin is one of the most revolutionary idea in the recent history.

AFAIK Bitcoin is borderless and really does not need to get the node from a third party to be used...and the fact that it's decentralized makes it an even better option to use legal or illegally so honestly this really doesn't change anything as people can use it whenever they like,it's not like a bank account that someone can lock you out of it.

Japan and Switzerland are among the countries which have completely legalized Bitcoin. And the reason is very simple. You will hardly find anyone using Bitcoin for tax evasion or crimes in these two countries. There are very few welfare rats among the general population. The tax rates are also low, when compared to that in the neighboring nations. Another factor is that both JPY and CHF are strong currencies, which have appreciated against the US Dollar during the recent few years.

Now if you talk about countries such as India or China, they don't enjoy these advantages. The Chinese Yuan is heavily manipulated and the government devalues it every now and then, to maximize the export revenue. The Indian Rupee used to be one of the weakest currencies in Asia, until the new government took charge in 2014. Under these circumstances, these countries may be more hostile to the idea of cryptocurrency.

I don't think so because to make bitcoin legal in a country is not easy. There are many considerations of a country's government to legalize bitcoin into the currency used for each transaction. In my opinion, what is certain to happen is that bitcoin will grow further as technology develops

Hopefully, it depends on the countries because most of the country's government is very strict, there are many considerations and qualifications to legalize Bitcoin. But, I'm fully positive in Bitcoin that it will happen. Sooner, they will realize that Bitcoin is very reliable especially to ecosystem financial.

What does "legally accepted" mean. Things don't need to be made legal. lol

Its use will increase more and more as time passes and I believe with payment methods that support crypto along fiats things will get better and maybe fiat users will become curious.
There is coinpayments too which works great and allows multiple currencies. The easier it becomes to spend crypto the better.

I also think it don't need to be legalized.

If the government did not legalized these cryptocurrencies, that means they do not care about it and the people in their country using it. Government has nothing to do with the scams that will happen with them, they are not protected by the government. I think before cryptocurrencies, mobile payments will be the first one to popularize.
