Bitcoin Forum

It is very unlikely to happen, due to many many reasons, but imagine bitcointalk.org in the 22nd century and in fact in 2140. I think only our grandchildren would see the last halving.

Imagine people of 2140, reading these threads...

Thoughts?

Epotalk still won't be ready since the guy making it is getting paid 50k a month lol

One thing we can all be sure is in 2140 we will be using this same simple machines forum and the new forum software will be under rigorous development.

Im thinking something that is more advanced, for sure technology is already futuristic level at that year, there will be no problem storing this forum up to the 2140 but I think it would be very different.

But the data here in the forum are really is a history to bitcoin and cryptocurrency I think if people in 2140 would get goosebumps just like we do if we see or read things that are from the past.

I also got amazed by some legendary posts here in the forum that I didn't expect to see like the legendary Pizza Guy is here in the forum something like that, others in the future might also be amaze about today.

OP, did you raise this topic: Topic: Bitcoin after the year of 2140 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248809.0)

At least I give a view of what will happen in 2140.


Yes, I am not sure you are still using the Bitcointalk Forum that year, you need to be 120 years from now, maybe, if you introduce it to your children and grandchildren.
If the apocalypse does not occur.

Lol, that was one of my first thoughts.

The second is that Vod and TECSHARE will somehow still be feuding from beyond the grave--or if science has progressed to the point where your consciousness can be uploaded to the internet by 2140.  Cryptohunter will probably have quadruple digit numbers of alt accounts by then, and he'll still be bitching about the unfairness of the DT system (or whatever else he can troll about in 120 years).

On a serious note, it is strange to contemplate what things are going to look like that far into the future.  I'd love to see what the internet will have become by then--and also what's going to become of bitcoin. 

And one of the most realistic reasons is many of us become too senile or dead.

Although bitcoin is still the result of experimental financial innovations, bitcoin can be projected as the most useful innovation in internet history. We still cant predict with certainty what will happen to bitcoin and this forum in the next 120 years. The realistic target now is how we should be able to maintain and accelerate the adoption of bitcoin as a global currency so that this forum can survive or be developed into epotalk.

I will only do it when I want to sleep. :D

Unfortunately I don't have crystal ball, so I can only predict... It's very long time until 2140 and it's hard to imagine how world will look then. Damn, we don't have idea how we will live after 10 or 20 years. Just look how world looked like 120 years ago in 1900. You see how much everything has changed, I think in next 120 years there will be even bigger changes.
We don't know how internet will look then, we don't know will Bitcoin still will be a thing. But as @Watoshi-Dimobuto
said, it's most likely that Bitcointalk still will be run on current SMF version and Epochtalk still won't be ready to use :).

I'm sure in 2140 no new forum ranks will be added to the forum and there will be Legendary with 100k earned merit. People will still complain how difficult it is to get merit, still start their posts with "Sir" and place application posts to CFNP/Closed campaigns.

No, Dewaros, our future administrator, in 2112 will end our agonising wait and will extend the use of SMF indefinitely ::) (snipie jr. like this)
In 2120 we will talk about Sqvid-19 (square virus disease) and how we failed to predict and stop it. Other informations are still classified :P

If you say something to step right in 2140, as calculated by the people here it will take around 120 years to get there.

I would say that at that time you could not see the internet again as it is now, you will go back to the ancient era, where people no longer used the internet, electricity, and the like, You will forget this forum and you will live traditionally/manually with wood fuel, cryptocurrency is a history that you collect at that time.

See you later, if you have a long life to 120 years.

I checked with the Mortals Department. I'm afraid you will only live for another 107 years.

How do you imagine this that only who will have earn 100k merits will be Legendary? :) People will not earn 100k merit due to their age :) They will die there will not any change in merit systems.

2140 is a very big way from now. we all (current members) will die according to our Life expectancy. So better to write in our diary about there is a bitcoin forum during 2020 for the next generation instead of thinking how will the forum in 2140.  :)

It is better if we will focus on the presents rather than being curious on what will happen in that year. 2140 is a century from now and for sure we are all dead in that year. There are a lot of improvements that we should do in order to have more information and also to have an access to it easily in order to see the developments of the forum. The good quality posts are keep increasing over the years and that is good because as long as many members are learning from it. I'm sure that we are in the good hands of the moderators and administrators so we should expect that there are many surprises or big developments in these following years.

The forum is still the same because this is the reason why it becomes popular by having a lot of contents and simple UI. In the year 2140, the same problem we are facing people does not know how to read the rule, struggle and complain about the merit system, spoon feed to them what they need ( I highly recommended we avoid this and let them explore and learn through this forum ). There are a lot of opportunities to make improvement on the forum but still, I think they will stick how it becomes popular.

From here to 2140 the forum will perhaps be saved in some folder in some storage nothing more.

The most important question is whether or not there will still be humans to populate this planet as the numbers for global warming and overpopulation in a more restricted habitable area are becoming important even though they will probably be only a small problem for us but a big problem in 2140.
But this is another story.

I think bitcointalk.org will just be archived and it will be linked too on a new domain that makes for the Bitcoin forum. The most common question on "How to earn 1 bitcoin?" will be changed into "How to earn a single satoshi? for total noobs".

This forum will be reserved for the god fathers to access alone and the newbies will be sent to the new developed forum. They can start sharing some great discussion there. Imagine my son in this forum begging me for merits in future lol.

Funny I thought it said 2040 not 2140.



I see btc as dead as most of humanity will be in 2140.

BADecker will be considered to have been a profit as much of humanity will have been killed during the hunger riots of 2099.

On a more positive note I will be really dead in 2140.

Most likely I will die before 2077.

 I would be 120 in 2077.

As for the fate of this forum in 2040 maybe Theymos has a plan for it. 

@ Theymos have you set up a successor for yourself?

Too optimistic, i think the world hunger riots will took place before 2050.

The name is already leaked somewhere here  :P

According to Invites & Accounts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=234.0), where greedy people sell all kind of accounts (hacked, bruted, stolen, own) forum members gonna live forever  :D

And everyone knows how "all family members participates in bounty" so it wont be a miracle if grandsons will use grandpa accounts. /

Hm, 120 years from now.

Let us see,

All of the members reading this post right now would be dead anyway by that time.

But our successors, lets say children/ grand children if by any means are interested in the BTC then we may give out our account to them.

There will be same picture,

From @theymos to all noobs with their successor gene, having same conversation, same stuff with little or no advancement at all.

Same gray to blue colored theme, same smiley's  etc.

 ;D ;D

The current science is too far from storing human consciousness  :D So I think Vod and TECSHARE really don't have enough time to get it  :D Speak a little to the idealism, they will still have a feud when they enter the afterlife (hell or heaven). CryptoHunter has a lot of alt accounts, but he's no longer there, someone will inherit it and continue here.
Practically, all of our current users died before 2140.

If anyone often watch science fiction movies, I only wish that humanity could achieve those technologies by 2140. However, first of all, my greatest desire is that the earth be completely clean. At that time, no environmental pollution. Humanity find new sources of energy better.

If BTC exists, this forum exists  :D By the way, how old are theymos? I'm quite curious about him  :D

Simply talking about money LoL, that guy is surely a wise man (jk)

As for the OP,... I really can't imagine for I am very sure that I'm already an ash by thay time LoL. But for a guess, I think it would also be in the history, meaning it won't be running.

I'm seeing a possibility of Bitcointalk to be surely available in 2140 and during those days, people won't need to actually type their comments but would rather just say it and the forum would do the rest by just moderating your voice as well as the words in it and then autopost it based on the approval of mods. Commenting here will be that stricter then. ;)

Are we having a possibility of entering the world of holograms in that time? a hundred years may not yet be sufficient IMO :P
Though I wish, a miracle will happen so I can see and be able to witness it before we're gone.

And still Bitcointalk won't have inbuilt mention/quote system

Food riots - 2021
AI singularity - 2030 (assume we survive)
Immortality via enhancements - 2040

By 2050 the human population should be one to two billion people, and that will drop as biological reproduction goes away.

I don't think we'll even need value exchange in 2100.

Projection says that 1-2 billion people will be add to the actual number so by 2050 it will be close to 10 billion. The drop is happening mainly in developed countries but the poor developing countries are somehow in a birth race. Unless a WW3 will took place, a drop will not happens!
And we are off topic right now in da meta sub ::)

Edit
Indeed  :-\

I read a post from theymos saying he was 20 something in 2010 so he is 30 something in 2020.

Normal luck means he has more then 40 years of life to go.

The planet can't support the population now.  :/

Food riots - Yeah may be.

But, AI singularity and Immortality via enhancements, Im sure that is last stuff in the bucket.

Humans might be intelligent but it seems we have overused the word intelligence for ourselves.

That reminds me, we still don't have vaccine for Covid-19.

All the junk we produce should be enough to make a new planet between Earth and Mars. We can gradually move half the population there.

Seriously, no way!!!!!
We don't even make shit % of that! Lolz.

The iron core itself is so much less you can't even have another moon out of it.  So let us keep our feet on this Earth only, shall we :D

We make do with what we have. Make a hollow planet and send Trump there.

All of you guys seems to be optimistic that Bitcoin will survive for another 120 years. I don't share the same optimism. IMO, some better technology will replace Bitcoin much before that. Bitcoin is not perfect. As we are seeing in the last few weeks, none of the recent soft-forks have resolved the scalability issue. Also, the PoW algorithm in my opinion is not sustainable in the distant future.

Wall Observer season 20 will not contain any hats and having your avatar inside an astronaut helmet is mandatory for posting there. Example:

Dunno if we are still in meta anymore  :P

Dead in 2140?! Weren't you browsing Bitcointalk regulary?! For the active forum user there were a lot of possibilities for a longer life. Just look at this gem: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2336293.0 Probably shouldn't have put all your money in BTC, ETH, uh? See you in 2140!

To be honest, I cannot imagine at all simply because my mind cannot perceive what is too far beyond :D. But kidding aside, I am not sure what would be the system of this forum looks like when that time comes. Maybe there will be a lot of changes like more ways of accessing this forum, new interface or the most requested notification bar lol. Who knows? But one thing is for sure, all of our accounts here will froze forever but at least I became part of bitcointalk's history and I'm already proud of it.
Yeah! Most especially for the most remarkable threads such as the origin of HODL and satoshi's thread :).

The best outcome is that this forum fades away into irrelevance until it dies a barely noticed death. That'll mean Bitcoin has become something you simply... use.

Most people do not go on dollar or Android forums. I guess Bitcoin is deep and wide enough to throw up eternal discussion for a small number, plus scams always need a platform, but the moment it never occurs to any normalton to seek this place out is when we know Bitcoin's really going places.
