Bitcoin Forum

From my last post about Bitcoin investment,  following the valuable contributions of members of the forum,  I learnt that Bitcoin investment is not just something that blossoms in a few days,  rather it takes patience.

 That gave rise to my new topic.
Bitcoin isn't just an investment, but it is the future...

 Let's all share our thoughts about this, in order to encourage ourselves and build a stronger community of users.

Great mindset mate, I really like how people are realizing that BTC isn't another get rich scheme, but it instead does take time and is more about the technology and motives behind it than just making money.

People will need to start looking at cryptocurrencies as not a get rich scheme, or another "bubble" in the tech industry but realize that the technology is going to be incredibly useful for our society in the future.

If you believe bitcoin is the future, then the right thing to do is to invest on it.
when it will be the future of currency, meaning the demand will increase and that would make us all who invested now successful.

The main reason why people are risking their money on bitcoin is because they see the potential of bitcoin to become more successful in the future.
We are talking about massive adoption here and if that will happen, we will surely enjoy our early retirement.

I mean we have seen bitcoin's journey in the last 10 years isn't it. So obviously it can go and progress in the next 10 years as well, no doubt about it. Others can use bitcoin as sound money, commodity, store of value, mode of payment, investment, etc.


This community has never been stronger, that's why it remains as the number 1 forum in the internet. We have seen a lot communities born out of Bitcointalk, however, it didn't have the support of most crypto enthusiast.

If you mean that bitcoin is the future of digital payments then there is big possibility that it will happen as bitcoin continuous it's dominance right from the start until now.

But right now, the best option in order to gain some profit is to put some money in bitcoin and hold it until the price is enough for you to sell it. So right now, it's best to invest while waiting for the bright future of bitcoin.  

I agree.  People really need to stop on having the mind-set that bitcoin is just for someone to get rich. They need to dig deeper to know why does bitcoin was invented. That it  is more than what they think it could be, the possibilities is unimaginable. Its purpose is so wide, it had many uses, it can even change the way people commerce and the way people live. It needed to be done because if people will just think that bitcoin is just a way to get rich, the full potential of bitcoin wouldn't be even possible.

That's a good mindset to have, but the problem is that too many people have already given up on that mindset, and the media doesn't help portray that image.

Not sure if a lot of people remember, but when BTC rose to 20,000, it was due to a lot of pumping and aggressive marketing from the media, with them saying it's new hit investment, etc.

Media is horrible for us, and horrible for the future of BTC - unless real information starts being portrayed.

You got it right there mate. Bitcoin aint just a coin nor is it just a way to make money. It's the future, notnonly mine nor yours but the future of the whole world. Bitcoin is the way to go and the more people acknowledge it, the more would our world rise faster. Bitcoin holds the community together right now and in the newr future, it won't hold just us but a lot more.

No doubts about that, btc isn't any investment projects. Its currency which would give you good future. But it doesn't mean you will be very rich soon. For me, I would like store bitcoin rather then keep deposit on bank. So you could consider bitcoin as a currency and you might deposit it by holding. Somedays it would give you good return, but you should hold it patiently. If you are unable to hold it for longer then don't put your money on it. Because we really don't know when it will dump or pump. During dump you can't sell it to avoid loss. If you have belief on bitcoin that it would help you on future then go ahead and hold tight. Don't follow any FUD or FOMO. Otherwise you could get REKT.

I fell that bitcoin has revolutionized the we we think and the vision that we all have for the future, we all know that the constant technological advancements that humans are looking for are what shapes our present and our future in order to make our lives easier or to improve it, and ever since bitcoin was created we started talking about a new area where we don't use physical money in a secure and uncontrolled by the government way, a new network that connects people and let them interact with each other without the need of any 3rd party through the blockchain technology, and for that reason i think that even if bitcoin is not going to be the currency of the future it is setting the stone for the future.

Bitcoin is the future. Future what? The word future is rather vague. Investment is also future-focused. You do not invest for the past days or the present; you invest for the future. But I guess you are referring to Bitcoin's potential of becoming the future currency. I am also positive that it will eventually happen although I think it will take a good deal of time and further developments to its protocol. There are several reasons why I think so. One is the fluctuating price of Bitcoin. You cannot use a daily currency with such an unstable price. Another would be the scalability of Bitcoin. If the billions of people on earth will use it, it simply cannot keep up in terms of catering all transactions. There will be severe clogging in the network. 

Well, it is. Bitcoin is a new  blockchain technology with varied applications on financial,science and almost everything  we  and conduct online, especially now that all devices are being connected. This  technology is a big leap for the future,and we are lucky to witness and being a part of its growth.We need more applications and adaption of this technology in order to explore its potential.

For some instance that we consider Bitcoin as an investment only rather than of currency cause they'll find out that it is much profitable investment than of the others. If we think adoption, it absolutely we have already only the fact that it is merely considered as a currency but it most considered as a valuable asset which people think this thing that could help to their future.

Actually, media do help bitcoin to gain a lot of price pump from that day. Media is hyping both good and bad news about bitcoin and the history of bitcoins price. The only horrible part that happens is when new investors just buy bitcoins without knowing it fully and without the understanding of how that asset works and the history behind it.
Media is a big part of that price pump, the next problem is yes the mindset people have that time, they thought bitcoins is just like a buy now get rich later type of investment, something needs to be changed on that.

Indeed OP's statement is too vague.  The moment OP left the statement open, it become subject to different interpretation.

And maybe I stick to this.  If OP means that Bitcoin is the future, possibly he is thinking that bitcoin will go up in a price that can elevate any one's status of living and can secure our next generations financial aspect.  
It maybe hard but yes patience is needed to achieve that and of course a strong hand to hodl.

I derived on that idea because of this earlier sentence of OP



Bitcoin is developing, we are talking about the future not the current situation. I believe by that time, lightning network or maybe a better system will be implemented on Bitcoin blockchain to cater all these needed volume of transaction.  In due time, Bitcoin will scale.

---

I am pro Bitcoin but honestly I doubt that Bitcoin will be the currency of the world, probably an alternative, yes.

Bitcoin is a great investment for a better future.
For each people in this world, BTC is the best to have for a great foundation for the future.
In general, Bitcoin is the future, this will be the currency of the world.

Despite the fact that blockchain technology is already 10 years old, it is only at the very beginning of its development. Many acts regulating the activities of cryptocurrencies have not yet been adopted. Experts believe that serious investments have not yet flowed into the cryptocurrencies. And yes, Bitcoin, this is not just a financial asset, it is the birth of the second generation Internet with all the ensuing consequences. Blockchain technology definitely has a future, however, it is necessary to invest in Bitcoin wisely and not give in to various manipulations.

Bitcoin is an investment for your future so you could say you’re investing for your & your families future by buying.
Buy now & HODL for a couple of years = guaranteed profits.

If you invest in btc is because you believe in its future, in the hope that some day the value of btc will grow more higher than what it is presently, going by the predictions of btc Analyst and pioneers the price is expected to go very high, and for those who believe this predictions is achievable are buying more for long term,

from the past 10 years of btc existence, it has shown that it will keep increasing in value overtime, nobody can tell the future but it is very clear that crypto is evolving, btc adoption is spreading, mainstream medias and institutional investors are given it a thought, awareness is growing and spreading, with all this good things happening in crypto especially with btc, yes btc isn't just an investment but a future revolution.

Yes exactly this is what people need to learn. Investments in this world works because there is some sort of company(in case of shares), countries(in case of currencies) & funds( in case of securities) work day and night earning profits and cash flows which indirectly increase the value of our investment. This is not true with cryptos. The crypto valuation is determined by its widespread usage and mass adoption as a means of currency which is the prime purpose for which it was made. But, sadly people think only putting money in cryptocurrencies alone is going to make your money grow which is certainly untrue.
I agree with you future is very vague. Bitcoin is not the future this is something I am most certain about. Cryptocurrencies are the future but maybe we will have something more simple, more swift and something on which even our governments decide to agree because no one is going to do a coup to increase use of cryptocurrencies.

yes, if invested properly it is the future.

For sure blockchain is technology what is technology of future ,technology what is already in use
In a case of money currency i see that we can have dramatic change .Dollar will lost his dominance maybe around 2024.I don"t think bitcoin will be reserve currency of the year but if dollar will lost his dominance then bitcoin can be best investment to safe wealth for planty of people
i see that even now all that trade war is caused by worries about dollar dominance.More and more countries are trade each other without dollar .So always keep some btc on your account

I have been here since 2017 ago and I was found many things about some people view into bitcoin, especially for those consider that bitcoin is an investment place. I can divide the type of person who start investing on it, the first type of person is he know bitcoin is profitable to be choose as an investment place because he has read many article even they find the experience from some investor who got a lot of money on it so as he will know how to invest well and make a target to gain money, yeah maybe you are including to this type.

But for second type of person who start investing and he hasn't known yet about bitcoin just store his money according to his lust only and didn't find any information either it is way how to invest or learn the strategy to play safe when he is investing and most of them just end up in lose, I see this thing until now. Indeed, there will be many people who says that an investment is surely will have a risk and yeah you will find it in any investment place, but at least if you have knowledge how to invest well you can avoid it for sure.

Yep, 10 years may seem a long time but it's actually pretty short as a timespan for the development of blockchain. It still has a lot of untapped potential and improvements are being made quite rapidly thanks to the technology of the current age that we have though.

It is a step similar to the revolution of Iron age in the past and then in the technology age of today. People were unaware of how technology could help ourselves in the past, those laymen in the world but look at us now. We are currently being dominated by the usage of technology and it would be pretty hard to come back to those times where technology wasn't a thing. Just like how technology dominated the world, bitcoin would surely dominate it as well.

In bitcoin investment, patience is the key. Imagine how much money made by the people who invested in bitcoin like 5-8 years ago? the return on investment is very huge. Bitcoin investment is more profitable when you invested for the long-term. Buying bitcoin today and selling tomorrow ain't gonna make you any money.   

- Bitcoin is truly an investment and gives us the opportunity to be financially free in the near future when bitcoin has the power and development to follow the trend we expect, and agree with you that the government will not be able to collect taxes when we use bitcoin but this certainly will not be our future, I can even say that bitcoin is just an investment and could be part of our future. There is no clear confirmation because bitcoin is not something so common that the government can accept, besides, the risk of investing in bitcoin is an issue that many people do not dare to bet it is their future.

Yes, to so many, bitcoin is way more than an investment. Bitcoin is the future, in the sense that it is a way to financially secure one's future. For so many who has studied the history of bitcoin and blockchain technology, you would agree that there is a lot more for the industry in the coming years, and this is why a lot of persons refer to is as the future, and not merely an investment.

That's true, cryptocurrencies according to Satoshi Nakamoto was to a be a peer to peer form of payment. Though his has not been fully achieved i believe that in the next 10 years we should see it massively adopted. The blockchain technology is also been exploited in several industries and this could be a whole change in industrial revolution in the upcoming years.

I wasn't entirely wrong saying Bitcointalk is the future.
 Despite the fact that it might not be the currency of the future, it has shaped the future..
  It is an investment for the future and a pace setter for future investments,  so it is safe to say that it is the future.

You have the right idea,  one thing you said that I would love to have is a strong hand to hodl,  this really helps investors, though fear of losing out sometimes set in..
 Thanks

I like that there is many people like you. Bitcoin cannot be seen as just an investment tool.  Bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority. It can be used on many different places and it has a very bright future.

Yes, that's really true. Bitcoin isn't just an investment. It is really the future because you'll be able to get rich on it if you will just be patient. It's like fireworks that will explode since the value of it is volatile so you can assure to earn big money on it as long as you wait patiently on its value to rapidly increase then sell it.

Those people who can patiently wait and know how the market it works will the most get profit on bitcoin in the future. Time to time bitcoin will blossom and waiting the possible new ATH.

Maybe it is given that not only bitcoins but also the likes of it together with investment that that kind of industries is forward looking. So it is kinda expected for bitcoins to move in that direction since it is a pioneer(with higher chance of succeeding) in its craft and moreover had gone to various ups and downs on past several years.

No doubt Bitcoin is the hottest currency to invest and it can brightens anyone's future but everyone should remember its volatility. Bitcoin can even make your investment 1/2 in few days. Instead of investing money in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency we must learn the right point enter first. Just think about people who invested in Bitcoin at $19k and where are those now, I have seen many ICOs getting shut down due to 2018 Bitcoin blood bath, so instead of investing at any point in Bitcoin we just pick the right point and decide a point to exit.

 Yes indeed. We are investing and why we are here in this forum it is because we believe that bitcoin and other altcoins is the answer for our future. We invest to btc because we believe in technology, philosophy and team behind the cryptocurrencies who invented it.
 Investing means learn to HODLing your coins, that’s why you need patience because it needs a long period of time.

 Also here are always advantages of bitcoin vs. traditional investments, one of those is the liquidity and the market demand.

Patience in the bitcoin market can make or break an investor knowing that bitcoin market is very unpredictable. And I agree that bitcoin does not only blossom in a few days, bitcoin has been around for years, 10 years to be exact and we have seen the best and worst of it thus, bitcoin is not an ordinary investment but it is indeed the future that we have in our generation.

Majority of investors are looking for business lines when the get into bitcoin, but the wise one can see a better investments if the consider bitcoin as the future of the universe finances, if you are here to make quick and fast very short term money from bitcoin then you have not yet understood what bitcoin is

bitcoin is commoddity and in future bitcoin may be more valubale than holding a  gold so time will answer the future of bitcoin

Bitcoin in future is projected to be high in value, already we can see what the price is at present, with the recent news about btc in different media outlets, and with the gradual involved of institutional  investors (bakkt been lunch) btc is gaining recognition, more use case,
Certainly btc is future.

I have confidence in this statement because Bitcoin has technology that is helping to reshape the future into something far more sophisticated and intelligent than what we have now and what our Predecessors have had to live through. Blockchain technology is part of what I would call the Smart Revolution and other components like VR, AR, and AI are all integral parts that will help also the Blockchain blossom in many of our day to day lives. Bitcoin being also an asset that people desire and want to possess, will also help in bringing people into the World Economy that before never had access to fiscal products and services enjoyed by people living in the Developed World. The Advent of Bitcoin has allowed a large portion of the Unbanked Populations to become a valuable part of the World, and it will continue to help bring in more and more of this demographic.

Bitcoin has always been the future, it has proven to be a deflationary economy capable of solving any particular situation, so much so that many regulations in various countries have been given the task of trying to control.

Over the years, the traditional economy has flaws, because tickets are always printed producing inflation, however with Bitcoin it has a finite number that has more and more value, and obeys the Supply-Demand law.

Using Bitcoin for daily transaction is already happening thanks to Satoshi for creating a wonderful project that almost everyone benefited the outcome until today. And to think that it would still exist in the coming future with a different approaches and usage as a digital money. I wonder how things in the future if cryptocurrency and fiat is being used both for transactions just like what is happening in exchanges.

Bitcoin is certainly not just a cryptocurrency to invest in. Bitcoin is the futuristic payment method for all the people in the world. Thanks to lightning network, payments will be very fast and there will be too low fees for transactions I think.

yes your right when you say bitcoin is not just an investment because bitcoin is also can be used for payment  . bitcoin can be consider as a future to a those who are investing on it because they might put thier lifetime saving on it  .

 bitcoin will dictate thier future if thier future will be bright or not  . for those dont invest , they can safely say that bitcoin is not thier future  . however some btc investor will dont depend on bitcoin as thier future because they dont give thier 100 percent on bitcoin  .

At least have the same two assets Bitcoin and Gold have good value for long-term investment, most people only choose Bitcoin for their investment, if we can think that they are also very good for us to have assets for your future assets in the future. ..

Bitcoin was meant to be a currency. In Satoshi's words: Bitcoin is peer-to-peer cash system. However, he kept one thing wrong that defies the fundamental rule of money and i.e. limited supply. Money is not limited, it is inflationary and its purchasing power keep decreasing with time. But Bitcoin is limited and deflationary in nature. This change made Bitcoin more like an investment. I don't think in future things will change because problem is not with current use but the fundamental of Bitcoin, it can't be used widely as currency else it will make businesses very unstable.

Bitcoin contributing to the future especially in cryptocurrency isn't impossible to happen for there are continuous emergence and adoption of bitcoin around the world. Although its a slow-pace ride in reaching massive adoption, we should have patience and faith that one day it would. Lots of bitcoin or cryptography related innovations has been emerging together with the technology's emergence.

This seems to have been discussed in several threads, Bitcoin was created with the aim of creating an independent, transparent and fast payment system but the amount of Bitcoin cannot meet the needs of billions of people.. this is the reason why XRP, USDT and other stable cryptocurrencies are more convenient to use as transactions than Bitcoin.  the reality is that Bitcoin will only become one of the investment instruments in the future

Price fluctuations that occur in bitcoin are greater when compared to gold. In my opinion, the price of gold tends to be more stable compared to bitcoin.
Everyone has the right to choose which is better for long-term investment assets. Both of these commodities in my opinion are very suitable to be used as investment instruments.

If you look at what is said in the industry, you will find that companies are not really interested in Bitcoin, but rather the underlying technology <Blockchain> it is built on. Unfortunately a lot of scams use Bitcoin as a payment option and that gave Bitcoin a bad reputation, so these companies wants to develop their own Blockchain based technologies, which they can control and they think their technologies would replace Bitcoin in the future.

Most of these technologies will fail, because they are nothing like Bitcoin. <They are centralized and controlled by a single entity, where Bitcoin is based on a open consensus model.>  ;)

I made gold for my old age investment because the price of gold is so stable and every year there is always an increase so that's what I make decisions from now on.

For Bitcoin I also chose it as an investment but if it goes up by more than 15% I will sell it, because the price of bitcoin can go down again and also double up.

Bitcoin was created with the aim of creating an independent, transparent and fast payment system in online or maybe in offline too. Bitcoin is the futuristic payment method for all the people in the world. Thanks to much faster network, payments will be very fast and there will be too low fees for transactions. Although the amount of Bitcoin is limited to billions of people, that is why as you can see, one bitcoin can be divided into eight decimal places so that one bitcoin can be spread to many people.

the cryptocurrency is making its way into the world heart by creating a level plain ground for every one with a mutual agreement of accepting to buy and sell at particular amount which brought about the change in demand and price has it has a limited supply and why it will keep growing in value as with more pple having it .

Bitcoin was created with a limited supply, this is the main reason why its price was increasing everytime the demand increases. the more people buy it or store it, its price will continue to increase. having a limited supply doesn't mean a wrong move, I cant call it wrong or an action to be regret. Its actually one of the best function of bitcoin for me.

The real intention is to be helpful with the community, and not just and investment assets but due to the opportunities where we can see value is growing that's make more people to participate and try the chance that being offered. You have your own interpretation and you have to maximize
everything, aside from investment, there's a lot of ways to enjoy bitcoin better not to focus with investment alone.

This should be noted. Until now regulations have been developed, but no one has been able to stop fraud using bitcoin.


very true, until now so many companies are making their own blockchain. but, I think it's not just because bitcoin has a lot of scammers, but because they also want to compete and try to surpass bitcoin. unfortunately, until now, no one has gone beyond the bitcoin blockchain.

however, bitcoin is the future can be realized when we all use bitcoin in a good way, so that the general public does not think that this is only a tool for gambling and Ponzi schemes.

Why have waiting for the future with bitcoin investment if we can get profit in one week or one month, I think is bad ideas waiting for the future when we are looking for profit in front of your eyes, I will take profit as soon possible without care about bitcoin price at the future higher above $100K. Just take profit every time with bitcoin is enough although little.

We cannot buy bitcoin when the price is at the highest price if we only have little money. If we buy at a price now, we can get so many satoshi, and we can hold it for a while so we can have a chance to sell at the highest price. We will not lose the opportunity to have bitcoin at a low price because we already buy it now. Just make sure when you buy bitcoin at the lowest price, so you will not worry if the price is down for more.

I agree on your statement because many people invest on bitcoin because they want to have a secure future. So that, they won't have any problem when that future comes. I also believe that bitcoin in the future will make a large name and will be known from different countries and also they will not ban the cryptocurrency.

bitcoin is not the solution to have a good future because bitcoin is risky . i find it wrong when people have that reasoning when they invest on bitcoin.  if they want a good future , why not invest on stable assets ?  or why not keep thier money on banks ?  less risky but still profitable.

we are already in the future.  bitcoin is already making a name now and its also known on different but when you say that they wont ban crypto ? thats not possible . some of the countries did already ban crypto

How exactly is Bitcoin the future? That's a very ambiguous statement. Could you possibly elaborate a bit on what it is that you meant? Sure Bitcoin will be in the future as it is in the present. Blockchain will also be in the future along with other cryptos too. DLT is in it's earliest stages right now. We've barely scratched the surface.

You need to have a strong nerve once you bought your Bitcoin and witness another fall you need to hold and not to panic, you are prone of losing your investment if you are not ready to hold for long. Remember that the chance of rising again is very possible, many people already enjoy the long term benefits of this investment currency. Take your long term plan.

For me, yes we can say that bitcoin isn't just an investment, and I agree that its the future because bitcoin can be used as a currency even it's digital it's accepted now especially in our state that a vast company announce that they will accept bitcoin as a payment and also they will sell it. This is the future of currency, right? In this era of technology, many ppl or millennial's that like to lessen their works, especially in payment that need to queue for an extended of time.   :)

Only time will tell. Open-source cryptography is based on one - way mathematical functions-operations that are simply executed. Quantum powerful computing process certainly poses a danger to the privacy of blockchain technology as factorization is the decomposition of a number into Prime factors. Multiplying two Prime numbers is easy, but finding out which Prime factors make up a given number is difficult using powerful classical computers. As for quantum systems, they can break through this barrier

Yeah bitcoin is the future. We need to embrace the technology, our technology is fast improving. A virtual currency that can be found in the internet is knows as bitcoin. Most of the countries still does not accept bitcoin but for me they need to, in order for them to go with fast paced technology.

Bitcoin will be more better in the future if the government will start to regulate bitcoin transactions by that more people will start to buy bitcoin and we will be able to use bitcoin to pay our bills and buy all of our necessities. I think Bitcoin will really be the future if that really happens.

You guys. Bitcoin is not a technology. Bitcoin is a product of blockchain technology. To say that Bitcoin is the future just doesn't make any sense from a practical point of view. Bitcoin will exist in the future, yes. Bitcoin will be used in the future, yes. But it will not be used as a currency unless Lightning becomes more widely used. Even so, as Bitcoin becomes more obscure and the block rewards dwindle away, the transaction fees will only increase and it will eventually become a store of value or maybe even a standard that other currencies are backed by. Such as SDRs or something more suited to deserve it. So, yes Bitcoin will be part of the future. If that's what you meant to say.

What do you mean by saying Bitcoin is the future??  Bitcoin has been around for about 10 years now but almost 90% of people who own bitcoins just see it as an investment entity rather than a peer to peer electric cash.  Blockchain technology is rather the future , not bitcoin  or cryptocurrency in general.

The government will take care of that, they have already a working rules on Anti Money laundering that they applied in banks and some financial institutions, so as long as they regulate this market, it would be easy for them to implement that.

The risk is high here so it really needs that kind of regulation, money launderers will always find a platform that they can do their activity and crypto is one of the best destination for them. 

Something valuable is not created instantly. It requires a process and challenges that must be conquered. In the past, bitcoin was worthless, many underestimated it until there was Pizza day, do you know how much BTC was used to buy a pizza?
Many factors influence, the accompanying technology such as the blockchain is now widely adopted to increase the level of various aspects. Making bitcoin more popular, attracting the attention of many people, so that it develops into an investment as well as a high-value trading commodity. In the future, where the need for speed and security and comfort is needed to cross the various limits of space and time, bitcoin and other altcoins play that role, and that is the future.

More or less your right but for now its both. Its an investment that leads to the future , I think this is the best way to classify bitcoin for now. Its and investment because you invest your money and your time in it helping and driving the tech to new feature and its the future because you hold it , use it , spend it , trust it and love it.  8)

Unfortunately, bitcoin is still being seen as an investment instead of what it really is and that is a currency. Too many people see it as a way to make more money or in other words more fiat.
People should be collecting and making more crypto, not fiat. Only convert to fiat when you playing the market and plan to but even more crypto with the price change.

A thing of the future if you look at it that way, should be something you must invest on. If you know its potential and foresee its great future, then demand would rise and the next thing you'll see is prices going up. Every new technology that has potential to be used as a revolutionary tech will surely give you profits. I also believe in bitcoins/altcoins future and its capacity to transform modern payment systems.

indeed at this time with bitcoin you can do whatever you want because basically bitcoin is not an investment but bitcoin as one of the digital currencies used for transactions and has a very high selling value due to the influence of the total supply in circulation and bitcoin can used to make transactions across countries and only requires internet and an online wallet for bitcoin.

Very well said, meaning to say, bitcoin's future is entangled with bitcoin investment in such a way that we, investors and cryptocurrency enthusiast are the main formula to the success of bitcoin. Even in a small way such as transacting even a small amount of bitcoin to our friends and colleagues is very important, it induces curiosity and later becomes cryptocurrency adoption. I remember when I send bitcoin to one of my friends in our circle, others becomes fascinated how it works so we all have our own wallet now.

It's a good sign that people's perception regarding Bitcoin is getting changed that Bitcoin is not only a profit-making tool, But Most of the people are holding this belief that Bitcoin is just like that and so they are coming to this platform for the short run, It's totally a misleading towards Bitcoin. Of course, Bitcoin is the future and I believe that the Blockchain system along with Bitcoin will dominate in the monetary world for a certain reason. We people and our world are getting dependent on the Internet and networking system so the Blockchain system is becoming a popular day by day, not only that but also Bitcoin and cryptocurrency already have an impact on the virtual world, undoubtedly it's true that Blockchain brought a massive revolution in the trading platform.

the world is moving and we are all following as far as technology is concern which means that digital currency would soon take over the money aspect of world by giving a a great chance of asset and investment to poor ones and creating an enable envinroment for everyone with no maginalise but it volatile with only be a situation to bear with.

Bitcoin has always been the future of money ever since it was officially introduced to the world. But looking at the bitcoin ecosystem now, Bitcoin is currently more of  an investment entity rather than a digital money.  From the way things are going, bitcoin might be an investment coin for a long time.

All the scams that ever happened with bitcoin can be tracked down in the future and everyone will be caught. Now we have companies who study the entire transactions carried out in bitcoin and any scam that happens in bitcoin can be isolated and monitored.

In the next few years we will see many centralized coins coming in the market and majority will fail and people will choose between these centralized coins and decentralized coins in the future.

It is better than investing in stocks, properties, or shares in a company, let's just say bitcoin could really go for a very long run, the more years pass by, the more profits we are getting as the price of bitcoin is continuing to make All time High every year in the future (hope so). It is risky at some point since we can't predict what might happen in the future, I mean there would be only 21,000,000 bitcoin that will going to circulate in the market,

that means bitcoin's price volatility is our biggest enemy here, anything could go wrong anytime because I am sure bitcoin's price would be here forever, time will come that bitcoin's price would be back to zero again, and that is scary because we might still do hodling and we didn't know that the market will just keep on falling.

when bitcoin is made its purpose is clear to became a currency
other thinks of something but its really the path made by satoshi for bitcoin, unlike ethereum, that the usage is for directly from a seller to seller point of view, bitcoin is for currency which if happens in the future transactions will be paperless and only transaction id will be send unlike today that we have to have like papers and a lot more
maybe like 10-15 years bitcoin will be more public that its for sure

I'll assembly your headline in a better way: "Bitcoin is an investment into the future of our world". Let's all caption this and comeback at a later time and see it.  :D

Many people underestimate and don't put much emphasis on this simply because making exponential gains it's just not in their reality. They can't conceive a cryptocurrency to reach values that no other coin/means of payment in the humanity hasn't reached before. This is what happened with each big revolution of our world or should I say evolution?  ;)

I agree with you. Bitcoin would never end as what we only see it. I believe that it could go beyond our expectations in the future. Bitcoin isn't just an investment but a pathway to a growing economy of each country. If there will only be massive adoption, Bitcoin could pursue its role in society. Every Bitcoin holder could honestly learn how to be patient and that's one good thing that we could gain from it.

But buying bitcoin is an investment in the future. Just by using it and enjoying it you contributing to what the future will be like. I still think there will be a split of users between fiat and crypto though. You know how some people are, they will hear nothing of new things and do not like change and think that things are ok the way they are.

bitcoin is not just a means for investment, but in the future it will definitely continue to grow, especially if all countries are able to use this technology, bitcoin will automatically be widely known by the layers of society and many new methods that utilize bitcoin services. but buying bitcoin and holding it for a long time is an investment that is believed to be able to get many benefits in the future

What you just said makes no sense how is Bitcoin not an investment? If you are buying it for a short while or even to keep and trade in Bitcoins permanently its an investment. It is the definition of an investment and just because its called a digital currency does not make that not a fact. It might have a high selling point but by no means does that mean its going to continue to rise. 

I'm already thinking that bitcoin is my future, imagine that I'm also studying with a great course that's related to technology. Think of something that bitcoin will be more useful in your life not just investment but a business while bitcoin is still there to support you. Bitcoin has many things can contribute to our society to think something extraordinary that will make your life more wonderful because of this.

Investment was a great thing for investors (obviously) but I think there's something more that bitcoin can do, we still don't use its maximum level of existence.

Blockchain now was very useful and it's being applied on different studies, even in medical you can use blockchain, as long as it's data, you can apply those because blockchain is a new technology that we should focus also. Same with bitcoin, think of something that will apply it in different things, make it sure that's legal and very unique so people will also adopt the way you treat bitcoin. It's our future, make use of it..

Bitcoin is not just a digital currency that you can use when you need to do transparent transactions or anonymously and an asset that will help you earn profit thus it will give you a bright future when you use it in different ways. Actually people are using it in different ways now, people make it as business like bitcoin payment gateways.

There are people who buy bitcoins not just because of investment. I known many persons who using bitcoin in terms of buying goods and services and also paying their monthly bills. I think many more people are using it in their daily lives.

But they also invest bitcoin. Investing is not just by waiting it to increase because bitcoin investment can also be used by other purposes like buying some good. I think bitcoin is a future but also an investment.

That is why it is good to change the mindset of the people that bitcoin is just something like stocks where you can invest in and just get money right after it goes up. Bitcoin is more than that and if it's technology gets more recognized, the fiat can be replaced by it.

With time, most people will have to deal with cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, first of all. It is more convenient and "international" than fiat. We live at times when everything becomes faster and faster only, and fiat, unfortunately, is too slow for this pace. cryptocurrencies are more compatible with today's demands so that BTC and altcoins are not only investments but the future for us.

Bitcoin is not just an investment tool. But as an alternative to modern transactions in the future. In the future, anyone can do transactions with each other with a short time, anywhere, and anytime in Decentralized basis. And we all have a mission to achieve that with Bitcoin.

Of course, bitcoin is the future as it has the biggest crypto community in the world. bitcoin has over $150 billion in market capitalization with over 67% of the cryptocurrency market dominance. It owns more than half of the cryptocurrency market at the moment.  

If bitcoin will be adopted by businessess, establishments and the government and the mass bitcoin will become one of the main commodity and medium of exchange in the future. Blockchain tech and cryptocurrency still has a long way to go and we dont know yet what development or changes are there as time goes by. Bitcoin will surely be part of our daily lives in the future.

yes,, bitcoin is the future for any one where ever, grow up for build the bisnis and invesment....

Yes, but for this we need to get support from the US government or the European zone. Only then will Bitcoin become widespread in the business environment. There are chances for this, but in the next 1-2 years are not very big.

I want to believe that Bitcoin is a future but I'm not sure. I think that not Bitcoin is the future, cryptocurrencies are the future. I'm talking about how cryptocurrencies work and they are build, this is definitely futuristic for all currencies worldwide.

I think that it is also necessary to consider Bitcoin as a unit for building a business project in the future. Bitcoin is already an independent world-famous cryptocurrency asset.

Even at present we have seen good businesses that were built by Bitcoin, many if these businesses are yet to make some good remarkable land mark, example is "AENCOIN and SMART PHARMA". There are more businesses today that where build by this digital currency and we will see more to be build in the nearest future.

Bitcoin can be bring in the future since bitcoin is for a long term investment, and the way we used it is actually changing the modern way of sending funds, paying bills, and any other kind of transactions that can be done using digital money. Instead of bringing cash with you to pay through paying outlets, using bitcoin is more convenient than doing it by yourself. Like in our country, we can use bitcoin to pay our bills, using bitcoin will automatically convert it to our own fiat currency, but still we are able to pay using bitcoin thru an application.

That future adoption where everyone's waiting if materialized will turned this industry to be the future innovations for payment transaction process. I do believe that the key point is the main adoption of the system, not only bitcoin but the entire blockchain technology. It will help a lot in terms of another options for dealing your daily transactions, you don't need to bring cash or cards just your mobile device and you can process your deal without any hassle.
Some views where bitcoin/crypto can be use in this coming future.

Bitcoin for me was became my partner in business, not only my assets, it is also one of the major things important who helped a lot not only in financials but of course to all the expenses in which I need to sustain every month then gave me savings too for my future, family and more. So I agreed that it is the real future.

Bitcoin is more than an investment. It can make me keep my fund from the bank in a trouble times without them able to track me and anyone having access to my money in a troubled economy, sometimes making an inter-border cash transfer through the bank, usually have a limit and comes with high fee, but with bitcoin this has neither limit or limitation.

Bitcoin is the future for those who believe of how it can change our lives. Its not just a cryptocurrency that solves different problem because many investors already prove how profitable it is if you invest your money and you'll wait for a certain period.

Though the price is unstable and no assurance how it will perform in the future, I know the time will come we're going to experience again the event that happened 2 years ago.

yes you are right bitcoin is not just a way to get rich quick. bitcoin is more than that. bitcoin with its blockchain technology has brought big changes in the financial transaction system. and I have seen now many companies, industries and governments that implement blockchain technology in their companies. in my country there have been many large companies that have implemented blockchain such as banks and shipping services. and I am optimistic that in the next 5 to 10 years many countries will legalize bitcoin as a legal payment tool.

Good that you are very optimistic of its future, we should visualize its future to be that way.
Bitcoin has been here for a long time already and its been proven to be the strongest currency in the market.

Bitcoin will have its massive adoption with the support of the government, with their support things will be difficult.
If they are friendly with crypto, people will adopt as that's assurance is the one they like to see, they don't want to put their money in a risk of losing.
You know, big investors are clever, although they saw the potential but regulatory hindrance would be a big problem.

Yes, Companies are starting to implement the blockchain system, For example, IBM has fully adapted the blockchain platform on their system. Soon enough the large company will have to adapt blockchain platform especially it companies and will accept cryptocurrency as their payment method. This can possibly open the eyes of each government to make a step in legalizing cryptocurrency in their countries.

Whether things were gonna happen same as the past or not, but it has gained more attention globally. This will surely make a change as everything is getting into advancement. It is the future, no doubt in it. People need to learn and understand at the beginning, compared to the early days now we've got more user friendly accessibility. For all who make an investment it gives a bigger future.

Bitcoin not only just an investment but also using bitcoin you can get transparent payment when you sent money to other person, many cases with payment sending because delay and not according the value for sending, but when you use bitcoin you can sent based on how much do you want and where the country do you to sent is easy and faster.

The global adoptions is the key for achieving what we all wanted to see for the betterment of the future. Not just an investment asset but also to be a good
payment process to help the financial system, making things possible that aside from expected high rewards in value, there's also a good chance of seeing
this system being alternative for any payment transactions that being held to any business platforms.

At the future bitcoin is not just an investment but bitcoin become legal transaction payment, all for every transaction will use bitcoin as their payment and many companies adopt bitcoin as payment because easy than using other digital payment and using fiat currency, with bitcoin less fee payment for every big transaction, companies looks transparent with how much bitcoin received every day and they can take bitcoin payment as investing.

In my opinion, Bitcoin is currently just an investment tool and the prospect of it becoming a means of payment like money and backed by the government is unlikely to happen in the future, because:
Bitcoin can be exchanged on a peer-to-peer basis without intermediaries and Bitcoin allows anonymous transactions. These two characteristics make Bitcoin like cash but while cash is responsible for the government and the value is controlled by the central bank, Bitcoin is not under anyone's control.

There is an interview of bill gates that saying bitcoin is more good to use than cash. The future of our payment system is the blockchain technology and I'm sure that mode of payment will become faster through bitcoin.

I also hope that Bitcoin will become simpler and faster in small payments for goods and services. In the meantime, I use Ethereum for small transactions, up to $ 500. I do not like to use bitcoin.

I agree, bitcoin is the future, but until we invest in it, this future will not come

Everyone has that mind set. but we actually know that bitcoins has more potential now or even in future. because bitcoin is our king crypto currency. altcoins are just shadow of bitcoins popularity. we are not sure also that altcoins will surpass bitcoin. we can answer this all in future. lets wait and prove to them. 

Yes its true sir bitcoin investment is need a large patience for us to get a good profit.
Bitcoin can give us a good future so all we need to do is to wait for the bitcoin price will goes up.

This is good mindset to hear about that bitcoin is the future. It is not just an investment method rather a very useful technology that we can have and enjoy it's features. We are very fortunate to know bitcoin at this phase since some people doesn't understand what bitcoin can offer.

because now is the digital age. where transactions with fiat money began to be suppressed so that it could be reduced to all-digital.
then can be stored anywhere, there is no physical form, so it is safer from external factors that can damage it.
If in the past the war season, people flocked to save money in gold, now it is possible that in war people will save money in the form of BTC in the cloud.

Bitcoin is the future, but you will not have a future in Bitcoin if you think bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency. Bitcoin gave birth to a new digital currency[ies] and advance payment technology (blockchain). Bitcoin made that bright future for alternative coins that we have in the market. With bitcoin's technology, no single doubt that it will be the main currency after 10-20 years from now.

Let's just hope that quantum computers will not be in that future, because if the Governments succeed on making that monster, say goodbye to your cryptocurrency future.

10-20 years is still vague though but it is possible probably it will be more than that. Bitcoin can be the main currency online but not in the physical world due to some reason. Bitcoin is more likely the bridge to the future or I'd say that it is the future itself because the existence of bitcoin the transaction online is now becoming more convenient. Bitcoin is a future itself because it can give someone a bright future that he never had, for instance, there are people who put their trust in bitcoin long ago and then as the time goes by they become wealthy by just investing in this technology.

Obviously bitcoin is the future of us thats what we are waiting for. Bitcoin will not be our future until our government declares Bitcoin as legitimate. Such a big change would not be possible without the government's help. Now we just need time to become bitcoin as our future.

In any case, Bitcoin will be legalized worldwide and will be used for international transactions and for transactions between large companies.  But I am sure that in a person’s daily life, Bitcoin will be actively used only After a while, when generations change and people will not only possess knowledge, but also the skills to use Bitcoin.  For today's old people and elderly people, cryptocurrency is not only air, but also an empty phrase.

This might have been true until the blocks were throttled to 1 MB.

Now Bitcoin is the past, not the future.

In my country bitcoin just an investment only, I can't use bitcoin as transaction payment because bitcoin is illegal in my country but for investing is available, still few country available using bitcoin for transaction payment like Philippines, Japan and Russia. Make bitcoin become legal transaction have to evaluate with how many people in country use bitcoin become their transaction.

When looking at the value chart of Bitcoin I have an optimistic view.  Notice the weekly chart, almost all weeks are bullish candles (green candles) and very few weeks appear bearish candles (red candles).  The value of Bitcoin grows faster than any asset class.  When looking at the benefits of payment with the example when you transfer billions of dollars at a very low cost of about $ 4, I think Bitcoin will continue to add value in the future.

people will say that bitcoin is future currency, we will use crypto and fiat as payment, and no different between these two thing, just real and fiat. but in a fact, people use crypto as investment, and if they already have for free or buy it in low price, they will keep it for future, hope if the price will rise, so when they sell it gain massive profit.

It’s given that Bitcoin is the future currency and everybody here will attest to that so with that it’s 100% indeed that we are for future .
Imagine having it now for the price of $8k and in 2030 will be $500k wasn’t that enough for us to keep the trading active and accumulate as much as we can before it starts to make highest value?

I am totally agreed on that that Bitcoin was not just a currency but our future,so for those who still deny this facts? Better keep up your mind

yeep, bitcoin is not just an investment, but a technology of the future, which will help us in our daily activities. maybe currently only used for finance. but in the future, I think bitcoin will be used for bookkeeping, storing medical records, files and state documents. and telephone calls. and all the world of technology. see when this has been made a smartphone with a OS blockchain.

I conclude that bitcoin is an investment in the future in the sense of long-term investment where the price of bitcoin in the future will rise higher and develop better and can be used as a transaction tool such as banknotes technologically and evenly throughout the world. and all countries legalize bticoin as a legal alternative payment method.
The long-term investment option is the best choice for bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not just a short-term investment, which you can sell then make a few percent profit in a few days. if you buy it in large quantities and keep it for a long time. then bitcoin can be the guarantor of your future. although the future hasn't happened yet, the development and spread of bitcoin gives us an idea of how much potential that bitcoin has in the future.

yes of course but the thoughts of some people are different we know btc is the future, yes but for now most people assume btc is only for investment, and looking for short profits through trading, we also know that btc has been adopted in various countries, payment via btc, and there are already several factories, companies, retails that accept btc.
so we can see that progress.

people might just be going for investments for now, but according to me, soon enough it will be a very good mode of transaction. many countries have already set up bitcoin ATMs

Today only Bitcoin is just the investment for the future purpose because today it's not yet accepted at the whole around of the world but day by day this scenario is getting changed and people are also getting closer to this cryptocurrency platform, I think Bitcoin is just not a currency, it's more than that. Already Bitcoin has become a profitable tool in recent time, many traders and Bitcoin holders have gained a huge margin of profit from this platform, so it's the potentiality for the future because it's gonna be a strong payment tool as well as there will be huge chance to get this price double or more than that. so for me, it's not just an investment, it's a profitable thing for the future.

Yes, I strongly agree if Bitcoin becomes a payment of the future. Will be a lot of technology that uses blockchain in the future.
Not only to be a tool of investment or transaction. The future will use it.

Investment and future, you can't choose one, you'll get that "future" that you guys are saying if you would start to invest in cryptocurrency, I hope that make sense, don't be confuse in the word "investment" and "future" they are supporting each other, you can't have a future if you are not going to invest in something that would give you good returns in a passive or active way in the long run.

Investing in bitcoin is one step to make your future, the second one is how you are going to handle the market fluctuations to make profits, last is how you are going to make your profits double or tripled.

Bitcoin have potential for the future have function not only as investment but also become digital currency payment, I only interested with bitcoin become investment assets than use as digital currency payment, for transaction I think easy use cash money and my country not legal if you use bitcoin for payment, you can under rest if you use bitcoin as payment ways.

Aside from investing and holding Bitcoin, don't you think it is much better to spend it on a daily basis? like for paying bills, buying foods and buying anything online/offline as long as the merchant accept Bitcoin as payment, with this we could create more awareness about Bitcoin starting from ourselves and together we could build a better future of Bitcoin for the next generation to come.

I think Bitcoin is still looked at as an investment. Ultimately, the initial goal was not for Bitcoin to be an investment, but for it to facilitate transactions on a decentralized network - away from government scrutiny and regulation. The foundation of Bitcoin, as well as crypto and blockchain in general, is still quite a radical concept that subverts everything we've known about the financial markets up until the last 10 years or so. Should we then not still think of it in those terms? As something that we can use to subvert the hegemony of the global financial markets, as well as an investment and a mode of exchange. I think even within the cryptospace marketplaces such as Vertex (https://vertex.market), which are decentralized and P2P, continue to subvert the cryptoasset markets even more, in the best possible way. 

yes bitcoin is not just an investment tool. bitcoin is more than that. bitcoin and its blockchain technology have made it easier for us to transact money between countries in the world. and now also many governments and companies are adopting blockchain. I am sure in the future blockchain technology and crypto market will be increasingly. and I also use bitcoin as a store of value. I use my fiat savings to buy bitcoin. so for me bitcoin is my future.

I agree with you that the future of bitcoin is for all of us and not just for the rich and for investing money, but for everyone. Bitcoin is a future for people to make money and get rich. And hopefully strengthen the association with bitcoin, for me bitcoin is my future.

but for me bitcoin is an investment that will make my future better. along with the times, surely everyone will turn to bitcoin or other crypto.

I conclude investing in bitcoin for the future to get big profits with a long term investment, the meaning of the word future will not have an end in the long term meaning where you will sell it for quite a long time at the right time.
and in the future what is invested like bitcoin has hopes that future opportunities will develop better that can be realized, and hope that all governments in all countries will legalize bitcoin to be used as a legitimate transaction tool such as fiat, so invest from now and enjoy in a brighter future.

Potentially Bitcoin has lots of chances to be with us in future. Of course this technology looks like some real discovery of this century. And of course it will be alive till the last man on our planet loose the interest to it. But we see the real growing interest of society to blockchain and Bitcoin as well, so hope this direction will be developing more and more. It is hard to predict nowadays the future of Bitcoin for lots of years, but for today it is strong, and even the most reliable coin in my opinion among the variety. Nevertheless we should not exclude the option that some day Bitcoin may be replaced. Of course like others I hope it will not happen, because we really interested in the developing Bitcoin rather that in its falling down. But the future will show us everything. And nowadays we should just enjoy))) enjoy that we have such an opportunity to have at list hope that one day investments will give us so expected profit))))

But here trading speculators destroy the myth of a strong and invincible Bitcoin. They constantly claim that you can not use Bitcoin when paying due to the high level of volatility.

Bitcoin is not an investment assets but I think bitcoin the way how to earn money with selling and buying, just take profit as soon possible with bitcoin without have waiting for long term as investment assets, when you reached your profit you can sell without wait at the future bitcoin have higher price, bitcoin can be lower and higher price just few time and you have get moment to sell or buy bitcoin.

Surely bitcoin is,and we have heard that for how many times that this currency is our future.maybe not in our generation because many countries is against this but in future the next generation from us?they will push this alternative from fiats since they will become more computer ages than our times now

Indeed. Bitcoin has a lot of help in different ways. First is that you can earn by investing in it with your own money, not by that but you should learn first how to earn wisely, what I am saying is that if you invest make sure that if you sell some coins you will earn bigger than the money you invested, a lot bigger. As a payment method, it is better than fiat because in transaction mode, it is way safer and space-saving and lastly, it is fastest and preventing errors when attempting some transaction. It is not just by earning but we are looking forward to it as a global currency in the future. Maybe in the next centuries bitcoin is the currency of the world and fiat is not existing anymore. That is based on my own thought but isn't is amazing?

There is no doubt that bitcoin could give you a great future. Especially when it reach its most profitable price. Remember 2 years ago? Its price is more than what I expected, and I believe a lot of people were given a chance to receive a great blessing.

I really like an open mind like this. Hopefully many people who think that way, not just influenced by negative news about cryptocurrency that is sometimes not in accordance with the facts. These positive responses are very useful and have an impact on those who still underestimate bitcoin.

For those who understand cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is a "solution" to the various problems that arise from conventional payment and investment systems that exist today. All the advantages such as unlimited transactions, anonymous, fast, is a convenience that is needed by modern humans who really like the ease and speed. Besides blockchain technology also gives a positive impact in various fields, conventional systems began to be replaced with modern systems that are more efficient in the use of energy and time. Blockchain is increasingly being adopted, as is cryptocurrency in general. If we are still busy with negative rumors that are also normal things that can be about any subject, we will be left behind.

Even now each and every user are much associated with technology. In simple it is hard to find a common man without a smartphone in his hands. This is just the result of technology getting advanced. By the time we've got technologies being much user friendly, even the one who is lack of knowledge about technology use it with ease.

Future is undoubtedly dependent on technology, and this will make more people to move from the fiat system towards cryptocurrency. Right now bitcoin is much preferred as an investment, but in future it'll get used much as a currency and as an alternate transaction system.

I can say that bitcoin is really for our future but how would it become our future if we are not doing anything for this? That would be great if we will invest right now in bitcoin so that there would be chance that in the future bitcoin wills saves us from our future and this is the very good time to risk in bitcoin because of it's downfall that will makes us to buy and wait for some days that bitcoin will pump up and we will earn.

Cryptocurrency with its blockchain technology has great potential to replace the current conventional payment method, but in some countries, there are still problems with existing government regulations. several other issues such as price volatility and hacker problems are also still things to consider if it will be used as a payment method to replace fiat money. For now, the cryptocurrency struggle to become an alternative payment can be fairly heavy, but it does not rule out the possibility that in the future it can happen.

Because bitcoin can be said as a commodity so indeed, it is not surprising when many people say this industry will have a good future even though prices are not stable but that is a commodity that rises and falls in price will continue to move in accordance with existing demand. So indeed, bitcoin can be very useful in many sectors and not just for an investment asset.

bitcoin was born in 2008 until now, I summarize bitcoin every 3 years.
in 2011 the price of bitcoin was only $ 2.2
then in 2014 the price of bitcoin soared to $ 800
in 2017 the price of a bitcoin is $ 19k so I think 2020 the price of a bitcoin will be more than $ 19k.

For those who are believers will really see that Bitcoin is the future, and take this opportunity as an investment wise for the future. Yes, Bitcoin can still go up in the near future, so, it will be worth investing. We know that the technology adoption is rapidly increasing, and in the future, it is really possible that we will have cashless society.

all that can happen if this technology continues to be developed and all levels of society can use it. of course bitcoin is not only used as a promising form of investment, but can be used as an alternative payment tool if all countries can formalize the existence of this technology

We can't see Bitcoin as just an investment thing. It can be the next PayPal in the future. I believe that Bitcoin payment method can overtake PayPal and be the best. It is already a very powerful coin.

I wish that panic sellers would understand this too. :D There are so many people that see Bitcoin or other cryptos as short or long term investment tool. But cryptocurrencies are not that simple.

Well written mate. Bitcoin Is a very powerful coin. And it's one of the major cryptocurrency investments for cryptocurrency holders and traders. Though most persons are not interested in the "knowledge" /"technical" aspect. If you wish to just invest, bitcoin is one of those long term investments . You don't get a huge profit until months or even a year. Now when you don't understand what you are investing into, would you be patient enough to wait for the profit?

I look forward to a future where cryptocurrencies will be finally become the new money.

I would like to add some important points while considering Bitcoin as an investment as

1) Bitcoin is a great tool offering an investment opportunity for everyone.
2) Bitcoin has already proved its existence, importance, and value.
3) Bitcoin has limited supply and higher demand.
4) Bitcoin is a completely digital asset, so it needs the internet to access, and transact Bitcoins.
5) Bitcoin is removing all hurdles from seamless payments globally.

And

6) Bitcoin is a master/prime currency among the crypto market, each and every altcoin get evaluated in BTC.

There are many events that expected in 2020 to make high growth to the value of bitcoin and we can feel the momentum even this soon,the most looking forward is the Halving in which will be happening in May so $19k will be coming this December or early 2020
Bitcoin is more than a paypal and also the altcoins should be credited as well in future ,after all the bitcoin is mined then surely they will bring a big functions for the crypto market,the added value of each legit alts is really best to look at

Bitcoin is a big thing a financial revolution indeed that will define our future as far as my investment is concerned I am always worried whenever I sold any bit of my bitcoin because I may not know what its value gonna be in the future and thus avoid hunting me as a result of my actions by panic selling my bitcoin. There are many upcoming positive fundamental news that will triggers the price of bitcoin just as we witnessed the news coming from China and bakkt.

Bitcoin has managed to break many milestones and despite its fluctuations it remains an excellent investment option both in the short and long term, we do not know what will happen to the other Altcoins, but for now people are leaning more towards Bitcoin because they can get high utilities

Bitcoin is widely accepted, but it is still necessary to take the step towards massive use and at that point it will be necessary to assess whether a scalability problem is experienced.

Of course, Investing in bitcoin for the long term is the way to go. The people that invested in bitcoin 5-6 years ago have made a tremendous amount of profits by just HODLing the bitcoin over the years while many people that are trying to day-trade bitcoin have lost their investment. Invest in bitcoin for the long-term is the key to the promised land.

We saw that timeline of bitcoin and its true that bitcoin will become more expensive in 2020 and that is because of the adoption and the halving with bitcoin. This is not just about the value right now but the future that is waiting for us. 2020 will become a big different with bitcoin, and blockchain will hit all the big countries next year.

You actually have a great strong believer in bitcoin and that positive mindset not possble to become get huge profits in the future as bitcoin is not an ordinary invest, bitcoin is the future of the new generation people to make easy their lives and using crypto currency as new form of money.

true, I also think that bitcoin is not just about investing but it will also be the future. I realize if more and more requests, and many people use bitcoin as a great transaction tool, that will make bitcoin very good for the future. and if we have seen it like that, then we should invest in bitcoin, wouldn't that make a profit for us if in the future many people already use bitcoin, and I'm sure it will make the price of bitcoin more expensive because of the limited amount. in my opinion the best right now is to invest with bitcoin if we realize that bitcoin is the future.

Bitcoin is just a cryptocurrency that has many communities and a high market, bitcoin is considered a high value asset comparable to gold. In my opinion bitcoin is not the future but blockchian is the future. Although bitcoin investment is arguably promising and risky, with a large community bitcoin can go further in the investment field.

Blockchain has a great future and rather great present. Bitcoin is too slow, but cryptoidea will live with or without BTC.

What makes bitcoin special is that it uses blockchain technology, so bitcoin isn't just an investment but it's the future. In the future
blockchain technology will be adapted by all countries in the world, but ironically today many countries still reject the blockchain
technology. I'm sure bitcoin in the future will be a legal payment tool, starting with change platforms like paypal. And also bitcoin is
prepared to replace the role of fiat in the future.

Blockchain tech is the future for sure. There are already a lot of companies that using it.
But crypto isnt blockchain. Its future depends from regulation, merchant adoption and mass adoption

Agreed, bitcoin isn't blockchain. We need to be clear without blockchain we wouldn't have got a term bitcoin. The success of blockchain came to light through the growth that took place with bitcoin. As in the quote, the future depends upon the merchant adoption, regulation, and various other factors. As a beginning for the same now itself we've got more support from different levels.

bitcoin is not only used as a form of investment but has a future that can facilitate all transactions, especially if all governments are able to legalize all transactions using bitcoin then it is very likely that bitcoin will flourish in the future

Obviously an investment for gaining lots of profit by using this platform Bitcoin. LOL!

yes bitcoin is not only an investment tool but also a future. because many people use their savings to buy bitcoin and they all hope that in the future bitcoin prices will increase. so when in the future we need large funds we can sell our bitcoins. I am always optimistic that in the future the price of bitcoin will increase. so I am always excited to collect bitcoin.

Even when I am very optimistic, I never dare to define bitcoin as the future or how bitcoin will increase in the future because too much expectation in bitcoin is impossible, we can see how quickly the value of bitcoin falls and then returns quickly, Bitcoin's stable nature is too low, agreeing that more people are using it but listing it as our future, I don't appreciate it. Always think that bitcoin is an investment will create more peace of mind, thinking it is the future only makes us too blind, sometimes unable to retreat

Investing in bitcoin and HODLing for long-term like 4-5 years is the best way to get high return on investment. If you look at the bitcoin price history you make see exponential growth by the bitcoin in the past. The bitcoin is not done yet, imagine you could buy bitcoin and HODL it for another 5-6 years? the bitcoin price is going to be huge, of course. 

slowly but surely bitcoin will kill the world of conventional banks.
inevitably conventional banks will use the blockchain system in their banking system because conventional bank customer data is still quite vulnerable to hacking.

Come to think of it, I don't really think bitcoin is the future. Blockchain technology is rather the future and cryptocurrency is an aspect of the future but not the main future of the financial ecosystem.  Blockchain technology is the future of the financial ecosystem since it has introduced decentralization to the financial space. Cryptocurrency on the other hand is the element needed for a decentralized financial ecosystem. Bitcoin is just an element of the future but not the future...

Agreed, blockchain is a fascinating and extremely useful technology, of which we haven't even begun exploring the full capabilities. I strongly believe it's here to stay.
Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency on the other hand) is just 1 use of this technology, and even though I am very much a cryptocurrency fanatic, I am less certain of its future than that of the blockchain's. But who knows, maybe we will all use Bitcoin in the future and no other coin will exist. I definitely wouldn't mind  ;D

Bitcoin is not really an invesment, it is designed for us to have instant transaction with low fee. It is designed so that we can have free transactions without anyone knowing who we are. But due to its rising prices and volotile prices, it has become something like the Invesment.

So now that many people have invested in bitcoin and have never seen its true use, it is possible that there are new coins that are better than bitcoin in real use like XRP.

Many people are coming here because of the attraction in the profit, that they are going to get from hodling Bitcoin but after they got in they should realize and study the technology behind Bitcoin and what it will contribute to humanity now and in the future, it's ok to invite people and use the word profit, but he should educate them how this technology works, people cannot go on holding and using Bitcoin because of the profit only they have an obligation to use it as payment because it is created to be that way.

I don't think that will happen, because the role of the bank is certainly still very much needed, although bitcoin has a good future and has been trusted by many people as a valuable form of investment, but in the future bitcoin will be an alternative tool that can facilitate everyone because along time will certainly be more and more people like the concept of this technology

never forget that Bitcoin is a currency so the chance of killing banks is there,maybe not today or tomorrow but it will happen.

what we need in banks that we cannot have in bitcoin?or rather in cryptocurrencies?and never forget that most of us here divert their investments in bitcoin from banks because we are tired of their policies and doings.people need privacy and the power over their own money that is financial freedom and Bitcoin gave us this.

It is the future for somebody else but not for all of us here, bitcoin is the future for those who holds bitcoin for a long time and waiting for the right time to sell and to those who is holding huge amount of bitcoin so I think it is not for everybody.

Actually, the bitcoin transaction is slow, and the fee is a little bit higher. Compared to some real-life currency, that has no fee at all doing microtransaction and personal transactions. Like it or hate it, bitcoin is a type of investment just like any other typical investment. But the twist here is. Bitcoin is upgraded and the best to all of the types of investment because bitcoin volatility gives traders a lot of profit. Imagine in stock, it takes years to achieve a 10% increase in price. Still, in bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency, it only takes hours or days to achieve that. Bitcoin is the future regarding the investment perspective. Yet, it's not a suitable medium of exchange. Maybe there's a future coin/crypto that will be created. That will cover all the essentials to become the best cryptocurrency. And as the best medium of exchange that will be suitable for all of us. but for now, I think that will not be Bitcoin

This is all about feeling and thinking, that is, if you think that bitcoin will remain the strongest crypto invest, if you think it will not remain so strong, do not invest.
In my opinion, this is the future, because it has gone into wallets around the world, and that it will replace paper money, I must also point out that bitcoin is not clone even after the fall of 2017, so I think that bitcoin has a bright future.

Blockchain is the ultimate future. Secure, decentralized system, is being adopted in every aspect of our daily life. And it is already a great success. Bitcoin is the pioneer example and every single satoshi will be expensive if we can increase the usage of cryptos. As the supply will be fixed, price will grow eventually. Yes, crypto is pretty expensive asset at the same time dobt forget about volatility and risks.

wrong logic , bitcoin and banks will not kill each other existence.

banks could just be there alongside bitcoin , it is not disruptive at all. people are not ready yet to go 100% decentralized , things are still required some institutions to protect them in centralized ways as they are not get used to it.
the real financial freedom let you do like make a transaction under no regulation but you are the only one who responsible on it, are you ready for that? i don't think so. until that moment bank will always there to stay.

the bitcoin currency system is not fit yet to the current situation where people will not accept a currency with high volatility up and down in price, nearly impossible to implement it now.

I think that first of all all members of the community need to think about the main idea and technology on which everything is built, and not about their own benefit. We are all doing a great job that has already begun to change the world, but it will take many more years for complete change. Blockchain is slowly but surely penetrating our life deeper and deeper every day. Based on the blockchain, other, more advanced technologies will appear.

Agree.. There are a lot of room left to see about what is going to happen in crypto market. Bitcoin dominance is indeed high right now, but there are also a lot of interesting projects on the move, like https://zoobc.com/ with their amazing vision. For now, isn't about making the technology something worthwhile? By the way, in case you're interested to the ZooBC project i linked above, please join the forum https://zoobc.org/ and participate on the discussion :D

This line is the reason I haven't stopped being interested in Bitcoin. From my rely days as a Bitcoin investor and trader, I have made quite a number of losses that would have made me stop everything about bitcoin. But I began to see bitcoin as more than just an investment and began seeing it as the future of money.
Seeing what bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can do, its evident that this will be the future of money as the world has been on a constant shift from traditional methods to digital methods. Payment systems won't be left out of this transition and Bitcoin  is at the forefront of this movement.

This is the future if the world changes with bitcoin and Vice versa, otherwise nothing will come out.

I am not opposing you, but i think we probably should not be too optimistic about the future since we don't what is has for us. Facing reality, Bitcoin is just an investment, nothing or less, let's look at bitcoin in both sides, the good and the bad. Do you think that all the people who bought bitcoin at its all time high($19 000-$20 000) feel the same now?
I get the impression that you just anticipating $1mil per BTC exchange rate. You will be surprised by how things can always change and the future ofcourse.

if you think that bitcoin is just an investment, it seems like you don't know much about the technology in it. blockchain technology is currently pretty much in demand in education, I found the concept of learning in udacity. You should find out about blockchain technology and rethink your current opinion

Bitcoin is the future no doubt, I believe it has come to stay. As it has been accepted by so many countries already, And using it to process real time transactions. But I believe bitcoin is also a good investment, This applies to both long and short term holders. I invested approximately $25,000 worth of BTC on BItflash.eu and i earn 10% every week.

Unfortunately, most people disregard the actual potential of Bitcoin as they focus more on its face-value rather than the technology behind it- which is the blockchain technology. You are right, we are actually investing for the future of transactions and the price is just incidental to it (treat it as a compensation/reward).

Think of it this way, if the blockchain technology were to be implemented in our transactions, this would eliminate the need for a third-party in handling it and every information is reflected in a public ledger, accessible in the internet.

Thinking small, of course in such case Bitcoin is just an investment and the resource of getting profit. But thinking more widely we can see that our century brought some new way of thinking and cooperations with each other, new type of making profit and investments. And everything is made via new technologies that in some years will be like plastic money cards and smartphones. Nowadays it looks like something quite different but after some time it will be like some ordinary thing that we used to. And it is great in my opinion.

if you use bitcoin, you are trusting your money to a complex system you don’t understand, people you know nothing about, and an environment where you have no legal recourse. In the traditional world of investing, this would raise enough red flags to make it a bad idea. On the other hand, the European Central Bank reports that Bitcoin is just one of over 500 digital currencies now in circulation around the world. Even it Bitcoin ultimately fails or is relegated a minor role on the world stage, one of its successors could radically alter the way the world thinks of currency.

So what does the future hold for Bitcoin and other virtual currencies? It is safe to say that they are here to stay. You can use the virtual currency to make purchases in a wide variety of video games and some retailers like overstock.com and tigerdirect.com. You can also use bitcoin to safely purchase gift cards for hundreds of business like Home Depot, KMart, and amazon.com. However, the Bitcoin website notes that “Bitcoin is not a fiat currency with legal tender status in any jurisdiction.” And based on the regulatory and enforcement actions of major governments, including the United States and Russia, that status is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Honestly, there are many possibilities connected with cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and its blockchain did a great job at starting the idea about digital monetary system enabling super fast transactions, loads of scalable solutions and many other possibilities. Tho we cannot foresee the real future of bitcoin. One cannot say if a system is bulletproof if he doesn't find all its faults first, which we haven't found so far.

If you consider Bitcoin as an asset, then it will grow and gain value in the future. However, many people love Bitcoin not for profit, people value Bitcoin as a tool to combat centralization, think about it

Bitcoin has created a new model of human interaction and it is really cool. This is unrealistic progress for some 10 years.

As the OP said, bitcoin it's more than being an investment, it's also can be used as an international crypto in the whole world in the future, as we know now that most of people around the world using the internet and they want like fast transactions using cryptos instead of paying using credit cards or PayPal, I think it's easier and also more safe and secure.

That is why it's important to learn other applications in bitcoin and blockchain because we can do a lot of things on it. It's very useful in our society and I'm trusting blockchain that it will be the future of technology. I've already started learning the blockchain and its application, it's a good thing to learn and we can formulate a lot of applications through a lot of concepts and ideas.

Bitcoin will not typically stay as for transactions only, it will be a worldwide asset soon used for everything.

agreed in my own experience in bitcoin you really need a lot of patience and it is possible that bitcoin will be the future of money

Agree but i would like that you elaborate on this topic more.
It is future, universal and global store of value but will it succeed long term? I think it will, but only future will show that

About community, building strong community is important, but is hard and demand a lot of work from members of this community. To help others, to build services for them.

Why not both?

Bitcoin is both of these you mentioned, store of value and currency. Some people may use it as a currency and some other may just prefer to hodl and see it as an investment. The problem with FIAT is, it urges you to spend spend and spend. It is never good as a store of value in the long term. Bitcoin gives you both. Even Gold cannot give you both but bitcoin do.

I do agree about fiat. When you hold fiat you will have to spend it but with bitcoin you can hodl it and spend it cause with bitcoin the value might be grow much more from the current value and it also good for the investment in a long term. Which many agree that bitcoin is a very good coin to keep hodl on. For me it is the future of my investment..which i do believe it will rising.

Exactly, BTC is not just a means to trade and invest. It offers a bright future with a lot of its services and technologies! The developing world, trading globally everywhere is not too difficult for BTC, it happens quickly and safely!

All new technologies are rarely welcome in the start and same happened with BTC. The pace with which BTC is adopted around the world is good and very soon we will see mass adoption of BTC. BTC is a reality and everyone has to accept it one day. The sooner you realize that better it is for you.

investment for the future that does the bitcoin is all about, we can say that our technology now are fast pace, we need to go with the flow of it in order for us not to left behind, as soon as people uses this digital currency I can say that bitcoin is the future, future investment with high demand and value and our future.

Bitcoin is a revolution against governement banks and system and will be mainstream in maximum 10 years, we need to protect bitcoin network and mine it with free energy like magnet permanent generator and solar system, we are all here for something and protect our freedom, bitcoin is a revolution against who are manipulating world in bad against humanity, protect our futur and fight them with mining and explaining what is bitcoin not only his % of gains against fiat system in only 10 years but what is bitcoin and what he fight against.

bitcoin does exist for the future, bitcoin is 10 years now so it hasn't really died yet, honestly i'm concerned that many people hold bitcoin in their wallets but they don't introduce bitcoin to people around it, i think bitcoin will get a lot of adoptions if bitcoin continues being introduced in public spaces or people closest to you, so don't expect bitcoin to be the future if the above is not done and holding bitcoin in the bag won't help anything

Everyone talks about the future, but no one for a moment imagines this future.Since you have created this topic, I would like to hear Your thoughts.What future do You imagine?

We are already aware that Bitcoin is the future currency, not only in Bitcoin but also all other cryptocurrency, and because of this fact people begun to invest in the crypto world especially in Bitcoin as they know that the value of this will eventually go up beyond our expectation especially now that we know that the adoption is there.

We cant say that for sure because I heard a lot of her says that Facebook Libra will have a mass adoption by storm and when that happens then it could be that it will greatly affect bitcoin’s price but on the bright side bitcoin was here first and stayed long so I guess it will stand it’s ground and prove everyone wrong.

Bitcoin gives faster and hassle free transactions compare to remittances and banks
that is why it will be a helpful factor in our fast growing technology.

I can assure that I understand how blockchain technology works, I have been involved in this industry for over 4years now, I am a known trader and crypto enthusiast, I might not know all about it and the recent integrations, I am just saying that we shouldn't be too optimistic about the future, Bitcoin was previously anticipated to be trading around $50- $100 000 around this time by known crypto analysts, and we where we are at now; $8600 today.

It sounds as if OP was certain and had evidence that bitcoin will take over the future(Uncertain in the sense it will be future worldwide currency or it will change into being the future), the term future is broad and promises will lead other people/investors into the deep whole. I am not opposing you, I am just interested to hear all OP's thoughts about this topic and clarifications

I agree with rather, rather we say it was the 1st currency to be created and introduced blockchain technology, I understand that it is still standing strong but we don't know what the future has for us or bitcoin itself

@FrankNoland, instead of making multiple post on this thread why don't you just make it in one post only? In that case you should quote multiple posts because the other might get deleted.
Facebook's libra is an altcoin and also depends on bitcoin and it's investors. I don't think it will really affect the bitcoin's market price. Even the bitcoin is vulnerable, no one can surpass it even the other assets reach its peak. I really hoping that bitcoin will stay more longer because it's the future for everyone.

The libra looks unnecessarily centralized and raises a lot of questions for regulatory organizations because of facebook as a parent company. Facebook, due to its huge size, causes concern in many states. Therefore, the prospects for libra are not so bright. No wonder Facebook has so far limited itself to only internal payments on its social network.

Speaking of Libra, here- you might want to know more about it through a simple and informative infographics (Some people prefer picture more than words)

https://blogchainzoo.com/the-controversial-libra/

I think at the moment, most people will see bitcoin as a long-term investment, they also believe it is the future, with blockchain technology that can solve a lot of problems in life, but now it seems that not many people realize its value, but I firmly believe that good technology will sooner or later be known to everyone, it has been the future of the world since. when born

People are betting their money on bitcoin because they see the potential for bitcoin to be more successful in the future and investment will come.
there are some people who put their hopes together with bitcoin and there are also people who think that bitcoin is where there is a golden period and there is also a period of weakness. but I hope bitcoin will make me a millionaire.

Most people invest in Bitcoin as an investment before thinking that it is the future. When i invest in Bitcoin, i know about Blockchain - the technology behind it and i know that it has many great features so i start beleiving in it.

Nowadays, People see cryptocurrency as an investment and a way to earn for living daily by doing a daytrade since cryptocurrency can be traded 24/7. Taking advantage of the crypto market is a nice way to earn money since it will just go up and down.

And we all know that Blockchain and Bitcoin really change the world and the payment system, also the best investion of all time.

if we look and remember four years back, the value of bitcoin is very significant to be an investment. at the end of 2016 we see the highest value of bitcoin in its history, will this be repeated? may be. I see the year 2021 is the clear point of bitcoin, is it still feasible to be an investment or not.

this is only my view  :D

I agree. people are now searching crypto for a any kinds of thing that they can earn. whether they will trade, do services or anything that can receive bitcoin or altcoins. with this people now are easily to do what they want and they will not lead to a difficult way of living and it is not just for trading or investing. bitcoin nor blockchain can help everyone in many things. everytime it is improving so we can expect that all of this in future are greater and better. just hoping that evil one's don't find anything that will damage the image.

I believe cryptocurrency as a whole and not just bitcoin will play a major role in our economy in the future especially in trade and industry.  We started so many years back in barter system which is exchange of goods. then money came into picture, then time will come that bitcoin or crypto currency will be the major exchange to be used in the future.

How to know bitcoin is future for us with price keep down? look with situation of bitcoin today we think is not enough reason why have to invest in bitcoin and make future assets by investing on crypto, we need revolution how invest can increase our asset become rich not make us poor by investing in bitcoin and altcoin because price have down, now I need time to get profit with investing on bitcoin and altcoin.

Bitcoin can be used everywhere and from planet to planet, this is the humanity freedom and governements want to have every bitcoin for dominate worlds right now.

I'd like to know why the total number of bitcoin is 75 million?

Well, I'm not too sure that Bitcoin is the future or even if holding it is the right thing to do. I for a fact do know that the Blockchain is here to stay, but when it comes to bitcoin I have my doubts. There are already a bunch of options that solve all the main problems the bitcoin network has; besides, Banks still see it as a threat. I'm not too confident with the future, but only time will tell.

Well, we respect your opinion, for sure most of us here are not certain with that too, yes technology will really evolve and  I believe that cryptocurrency is the future currency, but we don't know what will happen next in the future, tomorrow, in the next having, we might have something much better than Bitcoin, who knows, so for now, while it's good to hold, I will hold.

in terms of the development of bitcoin in my opinion can adapt to the future and also it is possible that bitcoin can be a currency for transactions because of circumstances that have no territorial restrictions. bitcoin can be used for investments and also payment transactions that depend on the region as well

 I am not opposed to switching to digital currencies anymore, because fiat depends too much on the wishes of the leadership of each country, and money should first of all be a means of exchanging goods or services. But is it worth relying only on bitcoin? If its stability as the best digital coin does not cause strong confidence if you look at the current charts.

I agree with you that bitcoin does not become rich, but my opinion is that bitcoin is an investment in the future and also has many uses for crypto or bitcoin currencies.

Everyone can participate in this decentralized system, but unfortunately it's never really "everyone" because not "everyone" can used to it. Not "everyone" want to be responsible for every transaction they made (as i know blockchain tech requires every participant to be responsible for their own since no one owned the system/ no one to complain or sued) Some people have been too comfortable with fiats and govern. because they know who to run/ask to if there any problem.

You know sometimes its easier for us to blame people than ourselves. Some people just not ready for this kind of tech yet...

For that point, it warrants no one.
Crypto isn't totally accepted by the community and so people aren't welcoming Bitcoin and crypto also. Crypto adoption is not instant, people never think it potentials by now but sooner or later they could realize the role of this technology to the current generation and might appreciate its importance.
I could mirror myself to them, but now, I opened my mind and greatly welcome crypto for this could much helpful in the future.

Yes, i agree. I think it's a long term project to make blockchain and crypto being implemented to the world, maybe just as same as fiat back then i think around 1300 something cmiiw. need 700+ years to change the world finance situation/exchange into crypto and decentralize system in general (if it works). Maybe.

bitcoin is a future that cannot be valued with money alone, I am a person who doesn't care about the price of bitcoin going up and down until now, always relaxed and patient, staying focused on the development of the community to use crypto currencies so that more and more adoption, since 2012 I gathered a lot of people and a large community for bitcoin in my country to date, many of my communities are in this forum to learn more, well we know that bitcoin is not just an asset to invest in the short term sometimes bitcoin can be said to be the best investment in the long run long, bitcoin can never be controlled by the government so just develop your community all in your country

that's nice, good to hear.

Bitcoin as a crypto currency is no longer considered normal. the technology used by bitcoin called blockchain has now been developed in various industries. Including automotive, games, electricity payments, insurance, and other important data storage systems. How can investing in bitcoin be profitable? Is there a better and safer way, or avoid the risk of loss?
In general, bitcoin and other crypto investments are safest using local currencies. In this case we use the rupiah currency, compared to exchange it for dollars. In Indonesia there is already a place to buy and sell bitcoin which is officially established according to government regulations. This is where hundreds of thousands of crypto buyers and buyers gather.
Investment is not only focused on bitcoin, but also many coins that can be used as investments.
the benefits and use of crypto can extend beyond the financial sector:
1. Fund Management
2. digital marketing
3. environment friendly
4. ethical business practices
5. to invest.
maybe that's all my opinion about the benefits if we can invest in bitcoin.

bitcoin can be associated with the future if bitcoin has good benefits, bitcoin can be used in the real world well, and bitcoin can be useful for life. I think for now this has not been realized properly so it still takes a long time for bitcoin.

Yes, Bitcoin is now a good investment if you take advantage of the right opportunity and in the future, Bitcoin could be a good cryptocurrency recommended for use in the new technology era. for our future, a new field where we don't use physical money safely and are not controlled by the government through encrypted cyber transactions.

Payments using cryptocurrencies is a convenient system, I like that I can see the transaction, that they can’t deceive me when they say the money has not arrived, although the system shows the accrual to the wallet balance. But most importantly, they do not limit me because the country to which I want to send money to my parents is under sanctions for my location. Stupidly

I agree...Bitcoin is a lot more than just an investment asset. Yes, some people invest in it with the intention of high returns in little time...

But the real power that it has to help all the people becomes clear when you understand that Bitcoin is more than just something to make you rich quick... with wide adoption it allows us to have a new financial system based on decentralized technology and not gatekeepers like national banks, controlling how much money they will print and therefore how much of your money they will devaluate.

Bitcoin was not much familiar before some years ago like today. The price of it also was not so high. But now bitcoin is the most powerful and strongest crypto currency in the world. We should buy more and more bitcoin for future.

Yeah, you are right, with great level of development and of course time, Bitcoin will become unbeatable

Take a look at the history of money and you would see how it has evolved over the years and I believe that Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies are the next logical step in the development of Money and this is why I think so...

The early man started exchanging one goods for another, if one person has cows and another person wanted a bag of maize, they would exchange what they have, from this mode of payment, it progressed to the next phase, where people used precious metals like gold and silver in exchange for services, and after this stage, we entered the paper money stage which we all know because it still exists today.

Paper money has been around for a very long time but presently, Governments around the world are restricting it's use in large quantities, this is to ensure that people move to electronic forms of money transfers, credit cards, debits cards and other electronic forms are now encouraged instead of physical cash payments.

Then came Bitcoin, a form of payment that could enable people to not just make fast and cheap payments, but also trace the transaction from it's point of origin to it's final destination, no middle-man involved in any transactions, no big forms to fill to obtain an account and most importantly, no paper trails and privacy is 100% guaranteed. Bitcoin is the logical next step in the evolution of money, no doubt about that.

Bitcoin not only solves financial problems but also with the security it has, the system inside makes me believe that bitcoin is a step towards a world with many technological developments. High security makes me believe that bitcoin is not only used for investment but the technology can cover many places

It's clearly visible how big development bitcoin has achieved with time. From the very beginning when almost nobody believed it will be successful until today when it' recognized as the best criptocurrency. The future is ahead of bitcoin and with time I think that people will use it more and more also in every day life, for real purposes and not only as an investment. Majority countries will regulate it and it will become equal part of financial and economy system.

but the journey of bitcoin will indeed be difficult especially for countries to accept, it takes time to achieve it and also hard work so that a country can provide legality. because so far, what's difficult is the legality of a country to allow bitcoin for currency as a transaction

Just gonna share my experience about bitcoin here.

We had a lot of seminars about blockchain (future technology) and I foresee a lot of great development in our society once all of us adapted the use of bitcoin in our life. It'll make us easier and all of us can be equal. I can't explain it more but I know that it has great impact in our social life and that's what we need now, a development to our social life to make a social gain.

Social status are now important and many people make their lives easier through the massive development of technolgoy, they know how to make use of it. So if we adopt the usage of bitcoin, there will be also a change that will make our nation or maybe worldwide better again.

Surely bitcoin is futuristic since the technology of bitcoin was so unique the cryptocurrency and bitcoin community is getting bigger and bigger a lot of country is going to use bitcoin as one of their assets in their country and could pottentialy be their digital currency jn the future.For a long term investment bitcoin is always profitable as it is going to be use in the future.

I believe by using bitcoin now is a preparation for the future. We cannot deny the fact that the world is changing and evolving. Financial institutions as well are really into something digital. People always wanted fast and efficient service. Time is just really so fast also that we cannot be so slow not to take every opportunity we are privileged to do. As early as now, we must at least familiarize ourselves about bitcoin amd cryptocurrencies. Investing it now is a great privilege than having it so late.

Of course bitcoin is now not just for investment as it can be used as an alternative payment. As time goes on, we also see that big companies have embraced crypto usage especially bitcoin due to huge demand. And not just companies, it is recognized by powerful nations across the world.
And In the next few years crypto and bitcoin demand will likely
increase. And this is where the future of bitcoin will be built.

I think Bitcoin is still looked at as an investment. Ultimately, the initial goal was not for Bitcoin to be an investment, but for it to facilitate transactions on a decentralized network - away from government scrutiny and regulation. The foundation of Bitcoin, as well as crypto and blockchain in general, is still quite a radical concept that subverts everything we've known about the financial markets up until the last 10 years or so. Should we then not still think of it in those terms? As something that we can use to subvert the hegemony of the global financial markets, as well as an investment and a mode of exchange. I think even within the cryptospace marketplaces such as Vertex, which are decentralized and P2P, continue to subvert the cryptoasset markets even more, in the best possible way.

Bitcoin lacks the utility. Bitcoin is mainly a decentralized payment system/currency which is transparent as well as anonymous. But we have better crypto alternatives which are scalable as well as faster and cheaper. If we actually are talking about the future, then people would rather consider such crypto instead of Bitcoin for the payment.
Moreover, what I believe is that crypto is indeed the future of payment system but I doubt that would be a decentralized one.

Well said mate, but there's this great limitation that is preventing some big investors from driving in yet, just as we know that if fiat is being managed by financial institutions, the individual's assets can be claimed by the person's next of kin should in case any bad occurrence happens to the person such as death, but unfortunately, the death of a crypto holder is the end of whichever assets he/she is holding in as much as his/her private keys remains unknown to anybody.
I dont know about other world regions but this region of the world that I am, a lot of people have so much concern on what happens to their assets when they die eventually which is part of the reason why they find it difficult to invest heavily on...

Currently crptocurrency is still in it's adolescence stage of life, it's in the exact same situation the internet was back in the early 90's. I don't see why it's a bad investment who doesn't want to invest in to a chance of owning a small percentage of the crypto market which will be worth millions through mass adoption. Looking at the history of bitcoin and other cryptos and actually understanding the technology it would be completely stupid to not have at least a small percentage of ones portfolio in crypto. I really believe blockchain will be big. This technology is here to stay and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Well the reason for this is because bitcoin is way ahead of us. It is a highly advanced piece of technology but we don't have the rightful tools to utilise it in its utmost potential. That's why we're just able to use it as some form of investment. Nevertheless, given the time and patience, bitcoin has the ability to revolutionize currency as we know it. We just need to have faith in bitcoin and continue supporting it so technologies to support it come quicker.

Come to think of it, I don't really think bitcoin is the future. Blockchain technology is rather the future and cryptocurrency is an aspect of the future but not the main future of the financial ecosystem.  Blockchain technology is the future of the financial ecosystem since it has introduced decentralization to the financial space. Cryptocurrency on the other hand is the element needed for a decentralized financial ecosystem. Bitcoin is just an element of the future but not the future...

I dont think bitcoin is the future, but blockchain is.
I have came to several crypto/blockchain event, the main focus for this crypto space is not about the cryptocurrency.
Regulation and blockchain application still become the focus.

However, I would love to be the witness of bitcoin future. Hopefully the good one.
We should ask Michael Phillips (time traveller from 2075) about this. Lol jk.

That's right, bitcoin will be dominating the financial market in the future, that's kinda obvious though. I mean as we're seeing that bitcoin keeps increasing over the years and now the bitcoin community is really so big and it's getting bigger by time, which means that more people will start using bitcoin in the future and that's gonna influence bitcoin's price to increase much higher and at this point bitcoin will have such a high potential, so by investing now you'll make an amazing profit in the future.

BTC dominance at 68.7%, I agree that bitcoin is the future, however, we have seen that when a large number of users try to send only using bitcoin, the blocks become full and the transaction fees can become over $20 usd. This means that, although bitcoin is the ruler of the price and liquidity, it is undervalued altcoins that will be superior. The only question is which one(s)?

The greatest reward comes from the greatest risk, i.e. unknown low cap altcoins...

That's a good way of thinking about Bitcoin, I think it's a lot of thing for the future purpose, If you set a goal regarding this platform then it would be a good one for the future purpose, so at first, you have to set up your mind towards this cryptocurrency world and it might be a great tool te get affluent if you put labor here, I think day by day we are getting techno-based so this platform is the best way to make money and payment system so far. so in the coming future, Bitcoin will get more strong, so it would be a bright future scheme for anyone.

Someone's patience is very influential on price development, they only emphasize the purpose of biennial analysis, or only highlight the Halving event. If in the end there is no good price development or falls far from previous years, then many will leave and prefer to believe in fud without seeing a longer history before. Although I refuse to give up, I think most holders will give up if bitcoin returns to a negative period in these two years without looking at the future aspects of bitcoin.

In order for bitcoin serve as the currency of our future, it needs to undergo allot of improvement and upgrades. Basically one of the necessary things we need to upgrade in bitcoin is its transaction speed. Most of the time, we are seeing bitcoin as an investment cryptocurrency, not considering its potential to be the people currency for daily transaction which is indeed, the key to make bitcoin the future of world's currency.

I highly believe that when we adopt lightning network to bitcoin, this problem could be solve and more people will use bitcoin for daily transactions.

For me Bitcoin future and the future global coin,There are 7billion people in the world and the the quantity of Bitcoin is just in millions. Majority of population still unaware about the Bitcoin but still massive demand of Bitcoin around the globe.

If developed and underdeveloped countries legalize the the Bitcoin the demand of BTC will be on peak and the high demand results high price that can cross above in Millions.May be not all agree but its my opinion and the future Bitcoin HODLERS is bright.

Of course yes Bitcoin is the future of good possibilities, advantages and opportunities as well people are getting aware about Bitcoin and its uses day by day which is a positive sign but the problem is there are still some countries left where the people aren't aware about Bitcoin and its structure hopefully the popularity of Bitcoin is enough to make its place in these countries where the Bitcoin is still unknown so the people will understand its structure and good potentials after all the use of Bitcoin is not limited anymore it's getting use in various ways which indicates that the future of Bitcoin is going to be in a positive way.

I have also thought about this but it really doesn't make sense when we create a group and support everyone's spirit in holding. Hold is really a good thing but outside the shark is constantly manipulating, we will die soon if we keep passive. I support the fact that we should hold bitcoin from now on due to the halving event and many complicated political developments, we should only have our own plan. That's the rule in trading, because if the group gets too crowded, the sharks will notice and it can manipulate the price of bitcoin more easily.

investing does require patience, but you need to know that every human being has a different level of patience. so it's good if investing is done in a timely manner, not just making a buy then be patient to see growth in the market alone and put hope for the pump. here must use techniques so that your funds can circulate correctly and time in investing must be minimized properly.

Certainly it is the future: it will be our financial freedom when all payments are digital and centralized in the hands of the usual "authorized intermediaries".
One click and the payment is rejected. One click and the account is closed. One click and wealth is requisitioned.

Bitcoin in the first place was meant to surpass the fiat currency we have right now, so there's no question as to how bitcoin will take care of fiat. Nonetheless, bitcoin will still need our support to continue being operational up until technology allows bitcoin to become the currency it is supposed to be.

We always invest in our future and this is one future investment that is going to yield the most profit in the long run, and we are so lucky here in this generation that discovered and invested in this technology at this early because we are now part of making it great for our children.

Though, there are possibilities that government and central banks will allow their currencies to be digital, I am very well sure that as long as bitcoin is known as the best cryptocurrency for investment, no currency could defeat it. We might just have a unifying currency which is digital, bitcoin is a blockchain based currency that not just unify the country, but also unifies the whole world. And this is the difference it has compared to other currencies we have.

digital currencies in one country remain different from other countries and only bitcoin is a global currency, therefore I think bitcoin will continue to grow with its own capabilities even though not many countries have legalized it, but currently many developed countries have legalized it, and of course it will be followed by developing countries

Bitcoin is the best investment we can make. Because it is beginning to have recognition in many areas. There are many companies, such as Facebook, that will take out its own Cryptocurrency (LIBRA), which means that cryptocurrencies are coming to stay. So Investing in your financial education is usually profitable, and a conservative cryptocurrency or Bitcoin buying strategy could pay large dividends in the long term. ;D

Yes, really bitcoin is not an investment, it is a good future too. I agree with your opinion. If you invest on bitcoin, you should keep your eyes here all time. Because we do not know when it will pump or dump.

I really liked the statement. Not only does it creates a huge impact on people's mindset but shows the capability of Bitcoin. From what we see in the present, it has helped people in more ways that one can imagine. We may see it as a faster, easier, and more convenient way of earning money, but as we take a glimpse of what Bitcoin could offer more in the future, we can see that it has a big potential when it comes to economic stabilizing, improvement of health department, strengthening poor families, saving the earth, and many more big possibilities.

Well-written man. Bitcoin is a coin that is very strong. And for cryptocurrency investors so traders, it's one of the largest cryptocurrency investments. Although most people are not interested in the aspect of "knowledge" / "technical." Bitcoin is one of those long-term investments if you just want to invest. Up to months or even a year, you don't get a huge profit. Now if you don't understand what you're going to invest in, would you be patient enough to wait for the profit?

I totally agree with what you say that the key is "patient", because bitcoin investment is a very risky investment and requires a long time and proper analysis. when is the time to buy and when is the time to sell, it takes patience and is not quick to panic. bitcoin is very profitable if it is managed well and understands and wants to analyze well.
