Bitcoin Forum

it's a given that everyone here wants bitcoin to make them rich.

what i'm more interested in is what you yourselves want bitcoin to become. do you want it to be accessible to everyone in the world so it becomes a global currency, do you lean more towards gold 2.0, would you prefer it if it stayed under the radar and was the preserve of a knowing in crowd?

personally i'd like it to be available to everyone whoever and wherever they are without any type of barrier so they can transact without the usual restriction and problems. at the same time that would raise the possibility of being clamped down on by governments that much higher. you could argue a gold 2.0 would lessen that risk or make it much worse if real wealth moved into it. i dunno.
 

I want the unbanked of the world to be able to access Bitcoin easily on their mobile phones and to make transactions as easily as M-Pesa is

doing in Africa. We need to concentrate on spreading Bitcoin to countries in the third world nations, because they need it more than people in

the first world. The first world nations are spoiled for with payment options. If mainstream adoption happen in countries like India and the

African countries, then we will see prices in the range of $10 000/BTC

I guess when you're talking about selfish reasons, everyone here wants to have all the Bitcoins. Every person always want what would benefit themselves.

For me, I would like to see Bitcoin being used by everyone. Makes its easier to transact money also. This is where I become selfish. I want that to happen when I have already lots of Bitcoins so I'm somewhat ahead of the majority. Well, that's what I think.

obviously everyone wants bitcoin to reach the moon (speaking of price!) so they can make a lot of profit.

i want that too. but on top of it i mostly want to see bitcoin being accepted in shops and by merchants at the very least online. so that i can only use bitcoin as my online payment method.

yes. of course we want bitcoin's price to rise like more than 5 times from its price right now. but most of all i want people to learn about it so that adoption will be more easy that we can use our phones to buy items on local stores.

I personally want Bitcoin to end up somewhere high in value, used by a large number of people throughout the world for the most part.

Best case would be having Bitcoin completely replace the monetary supply throughout the world and being used as the sole currency.

That way I would have a more than completely secure financial future.

I cannot call it selfish perspective,but for the good of internet users and users i want Bitcoin to reach $10.000 and I want it to become the main payment processor online,with many merchants using this technology..

Probably there are two groups of people using BTC,one just waiting the right price to sell and profit and other who also want to profit from it, but they are also interested in mass adaptation,like you say that BTC becomes currency available to everyone.

I think BTC is going in that direction,each day was adopted by more and more people and various companies around the world.It remains to be seen what will the growth in popularity mean for certain governments,bad or good for BTC only time will tell.

Of course the only reason to us using bitcoin is to get rich , i personally want for bitcoin to reach 1000 $ at that point i will have so much money that i don't now where to spend, but i think some people hope that it will go down so they can buy more bitcoin which is from a point of view is good

Yeah, people when comes to know of bitcoin gets mesmerized with its price. This increased pricing gives the users to dream of getting rich with bitcoin. In reality they will realize soon after starting to earn as well use bitcoin. I believe early adopters were the one who were rich through bitcoin. Most others earn some additional earning with it, other than day job earning.

I want Bitcoin to reach a point where I can earn more money on here than I can currently from my job (which isn't that hard of a feat to be honest) and I want Bitcoin to just finally have a position where I can have a fine financial situation and not have to worry about having money or anything for retirement.

I wouldn't mind having a lot of money, but a decent future is a good start for me.

Everyone of us want Bitcoin to reach 5 digits,which is possible with the current situation but I want more bitcoin atm in every country and more merchants,I'd like to see an amazon or ebay like site,that will use Bitcoin as their primary payment processor..

I want bitcoin to be spend directly to the local store without the need of third party processor.  A bitcoin that is rightly regulated by government  for protection from fraud and scam company, and of course its value to go up x times.

When it comes to Bitcoin we are all probably a bit selfish. I would like for price to go up and reach at least 1000$. That would make me happy. I wouldn't get rich, that is not even the intention, but amount would be decent. Traders would probably also be happy with this. The higher price the bigger demand so this would make for Bitcoin good impact.

Meh not really gold 2.0. I want it to be accessible to everyone in the world that's having a hard time with banks and doesn't want to trust anyone anymore. It just makes sense. If you were dropped on an island and the currency was coconuts would you leave all of your coconuts with someone else or keep them yourself? Durp you'd keep them in you're hut with your 18 children defending it. Maybe it's not the best analogy but that's what I always come back to is its a way to store your own wealth without having to worry about banks or keeping a stack of cash under the matress.

I also hope when everyone around the world starts using it we can be the people that say "I've used bitcoins since 2015" or whatever year you got into it. "That's why I have $500,000k worth of bitcoins." I'd love to say that to someone (that I knew wouldn't torture me and kidnap my family members for 500k rofl).

no need to ever think about banks again or other party control
use more so for the unbanked
globally accepted
no barrier of entry
easy to use for anyone

by this i dont mean it needs to be used by 7billion people for 10 transactions a day each.
but enough adaptability that no one is thrown aside and treated as a 'spammer' for just trying to move an hours labour

Personally i just want to to the rest of us here int he forum and give us some time to get more BTC at least before it gets global :) i'm just being selfish.
But what i want the world to see as global would be the TIME of Chronobank which is meant not just on online users.

From a selfish point of view, I would like to see "Bitcoin never dead". Bitcoin has become an essential part of my life now and I hope it will continue growing, not just for the price, but for I (and anyone else) can use it everywhere in shops, markets, public services places (such as restaurants, Cafés, Hotels .....etc) and more. I hope Bitcoin can really become the most popular currency in the world as USD is now.

I would like bitcoin to become a digital gold, a store of wealth.  I wouldnt want it to become a world currency that everyone had to use that sounds a bit freaky to be honest.  I think there will always be a place for national currencies, but like gold everyone could use bitcoin also for international payments and store of value.

I want it to end up in my wallet and cold storages as well..

Just kidding. I want it to be disseminated to the hands of those who doesn't have the financial capabilities to the less fortunate--which is kinda far-fetched since they don't have the devices to have a wallet--and have their own financial freedom. However, that may take a long time to be a reality, but still is possible as long as there is a will to change and help.

i want money that is available everywhere and that nobody controls. i want it to be free of unnecessary charges and i want it to be accessible to everyone i that sense that bobody can disallow you to use it.   

I don't keep much of money in Bitcoin, so if it grows hugely, I would be sad for not having a lot. I want Bitcoin to become just a bit higher, so that the salary for a signature campaign would remain the same in btc but it would be actually more in USD :P. So, it should be somewhere around $900 but not more than $1000. I am more concerned about the ability to use btc. I would like it to spread, so that I wouldn't have to exchange it.

I like them to drop again in price so I can buy them cheap an then keep them save as I brought over 30 bitcoins and then my laptop broke. so woul make sure that I bank up my wallet and bought more and kept hold of them and what the price rise again one other thing I like if you could buy bitcoin easy with out id and not have to pay a price increase because of it.

Since i don't hold any I wish it will die off now to clear up most of not all the problems that fiat money faces right now. From day one that it has come into existence the REAL money has taken a tumble from GBP to USD all the way down to AUD. :P

Not really to into the ups and downs of bitcoin,would rather see a stabilized price so that people are not getting dinged on their first interaction with bitcoin. For mass adoption I would think these swings need to be addressed as they are clearly manipulations of the market.
So I would also like to see a day when people did not have to worry about a credit score dictating their lot in life or having to grovel for a loan. Economics sets so many peoples path or direction early on,it would be interesting to see a world without these fences.

actually I am not really sure about the idea "bitcoin replace fiat", it sounds scary because when everybody use cryptocurrency, I do not know, it is probably not good.

so I prefer bitcoin is able to be used by some people around the world only. just imo.

I wouldn't like Bitcoin being the worldwide currency or something similar - that only opens the way to the globalisation which I personally dislike. It would obviously be awesome for the price to go up to an insane amount, and I gope the next year will bring us a big increase during the winter. Bitcoin can just be used for a hobby or a secondary investment/business, but I do not agree with the idea of it replacing existing currencies. That means control.

Actually I am not so optimistic about the future of bitcoin in the long run, because digital technologies are in continuous evolution, so I think sooner or later bitcoin will be displaced by something more advanced in the medium term.

What I am aiming at is to see Bitcoin being used way more as a store of value tool where the benefits of Bitcoin will greatly exceed the ones from Gold. If it will benefit me, then it can also benefit other people. So in that matter, it's not selfish at all. Gold 2.0 is the closest I think I can name Bitcoin in this case. People are looking for financial freedom. Bitcoin can give them exactly that. Bitcoin is here and ready to give people what they are looking for, so make use of it!

I think if bitcoin started to get widely used, my holdings would skyrocket.  Maybe.  And that'd definitely be a good thing.  But honestly I'd be more than happy if bitcoin stayed the way it is, which is a sort of a 'bad boy' currency.  It's definitely got a sinister rep, being used by drug dealers/cartels, the illegal sex trade, and questionably-legal gambling sites.  I think that's cool, though I know a lot of people don't share that opinion.

A lot of people place a high value on using it, and as long as that continues all is good.

and what happens to all the money sunk into bitcoin? people are incentivized to work on advancing bitcoin itself. to almost everyone here it's money first, software second. you can't jump to a new system just like that when money's on the line.

Thats why the transition wouldn't happen overnight.
It would take years, five or ten years at least, once a superior coin was established,
(and you could argue it already has been)
but money would slowly flow to other coins, and the price of Bitcoin would slowly go down.

i don't buy it. if it was clear that something was gonna supersede bitcoin there would not be an orderly exit. there would be a tipping point where people would stampede for the exit. everyone here is hyper paranoid about 'bitcoin killers'.

if there was a real one it would crater bitcoin in no time at all and all those potential migrants to the new coin would be wiped out before they could get there. and it's not as if you could persuade a bunch of marks to come back and reinflate it so more could escape.  

I hope bitcoin will continue to go up (maybe of minds of others too) origin is not down to $200 as before, at that time I'm a little sad cause many say bitcoin might be down to worthless :D

The more people addopt bitcoin,the more restrictions and regulations will appear.

If bitcoin grows fast and becomes a real global currency used by billions of people it will lose some of it`s

advantages for sure.

I want both of the above, i am trying to hold as much bitcoin as i can earn/buy now so that i can get really good amount in fiat after few years and i think many people want this.

Talking about adoption and accessibility, more adoption means more demand and more demand can simply boost the price of bitcoin due to its limited supply. On the other hand more adoption means bigger community support for bitcoin which will help bitcoin to stay stronger against governmental regulation and Fuds.

Well I would want bitcoin to be known and used by everyone no matter which part of the world but this would also pose some problem to the governments of different countries

I think this is one of the main things Bitcoiners want to see become reality. Especially because of the fact (from a selfish perspective) that it will also help to push the price forward in a much faster pace. Current holders will greatly benefit from such a scenario. But if it was that easy, this would be the case already. Governments won't simply allow Bitcoin to be so easily accessible to the point that it may harm their own economy at some point. Banks and governments fear Bitcoin. For the first time people can now actually own their entire wealth, and operate outside their systems. In that regard, everything will be done to prevent Bitcoin from growing too large.

Nope, I don't think the bigger community can prevent the government from regulating bitcoin. It is the opposite, the more bitcoin is adopted, the more government will rush to regulate it.   We know the government wants intervention for profit/tax sake.  You cannot stop your government in regulating bitcoin in your country because they are the authority.

I don't understand what is gold 2.0 in your post. Can you explain me what that means exactly?
And of course everyone here expects bitcoin never die and just continue to rise to get rich with it one day.

I'd like bitcoin to become a major currency.
Just think about how awesome it would be if you could just walk in a shop and pay with bitcoins. There's still a long way to go before we can get to mass adoption, but once it's there I think Bitcoin will be the easiest and cheapest way to pay and get payed, and it would be a great thing to replace cash.
Of course I'd love the price to rise as well :D

just like what all people who uses bitcoin wants for it to end up, that bitcoin's price will go higher and be adopted by almost countries around the world as well as those local stores so we wouldn't have to worry if ever we are on the vacation to other country we will have extra money to spend and also i am hoping that bitcoin will become more popular that it is discussed online or even offline very often.

One problem that might exist once bitcoin  will be known to every one is that spamming in this forum might not be what advertisers will require.
gambling sites and some coins possibly will just go directly to google to advertise.

So it may sound pretty corny, but I wanted to earn a lot of money through Bitcoin and invest in life itself.

Mass adoption or a known digital store of wealth. There are some ways to go before adoption though, this block-size issue is a problem at the moment.

This was also the main goal of the founder of a famous exchanger site in the philippines(not to be named to prevent any uncessary promotion/advertisement). People in the philippines most of us doesn't have any bank accounts due to poverty/financial problem and bitcoin is the best method for the people to alteast have their acess on the benefits that banks gives which can bitcoin actually provides.
