I have only three question to ask.
(1) can I purchase Bitcoin?
(2) can I store bitcoin for a particular wallet for future use?
(3) is it a good advice for me to store all my life saving on Bitcoin?

What will be the fate of BTC in the next 10 years? Will it be the main source of exchange of value or will it continue to be an alternative virtual money?
I am not a diviner neither a seer but from previous pedestal of bitcoin in the past 15 years up to this moment I can say nothing much would change from the purpose bitcoin serves as a decentralized digital asset provided as an alternative to fiat. At best, the much tremendous progress we would be having is in the price value because 10 years from now is two bitcoin circles we're looking at, and we know what that means for bitcoin price.

Would it still be only an asset for everyone? Tongue

I do think that eventually, it will grow over this term - becoming an alternative to fiat as it should.

Surely, now it can be considered as such (it does especially for the institutions), but who knows what goes next.

As a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Bitcoin is known for its proof-of-work (PoW) system.
You might not be referring to smart contracts in Bitcoin, as I understand proof of work and smart contracts are very different. Bitcoin uses PoW, while other coins like Ethereum rely on smart contracts.
Smart contracts in altcoins started with Ethereum are really smart tools for scammers to do their jobs on ERC20 chain then other altcoin blockchains. Altcoin smart contracts are smart as helpful for developers to mint massive new tokens and dump on the market like Do Kwon did with Terra years ago and many other developers did their rug pulls.

Lastly smart contracts are smart as they help developers and governments to freeze your coins even they are stored in your non custodial wallets. For example, they did it with stable coins.

PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

I don't let this type of thing to bother me because until the end of time there will always be old bitcoin wallets that get active again after several years, this is not the first and after many similar actives like this, what happened? Even if this person decide to dump all right now it won't kill bitcoin, there will always be dumpers and there will always be buyers, don't forget that if this person dumps right now someone else is buying instantly.

Bitcoin is too scarce for me to be panicking because of a dump.

Agreed.

Bitcoin cap is in trillions, whereas the amount here - in millions.

I'm not interested to move to another country but can visit and come. I don't know if the ranking done in every year because last year I was seen other countries on the row. And definitely there will be more in the future. Nigeria, South Africa and other African countries will definitely be among the top 10 crypto countries in the world. But what bothers me is El Salvador which was the first country to adopt bitcoin as a legal tender yet he is not among the best countries in bitcoin ot crypto.
I don't know the source from which they got their data, but even if it's being rated by countries with the most crypto users, you don't expect El Salvador to be among the top because they make bitcoin legal tender. That does not mean their citizens embrace bitcoin like other countries do. It's something. Nigeria, in some data, usually shows up among the top countries with the most rising interest in crypto, while some data don't even include them among the top 10.

The government cannot force all citizens to accept bitcoin, but having an open and bitcoin friendly government will be key to creating a good environment for bitcoin.

With El Salvador making bitcoin legal tender, this means people are free to do whatever they want with their bitcoins. Not only can Salvadorans invest in it, but they can also use it as a currency, a method of payment. Can Nigerians use bitcoin that way? Can they use bitcoin as currency and be welcomed by the government?
Not to mention, even though Nigerians are accepting and using bitcoin more, can they continue to do so comfortably and freely if the government imposes a ban again?

So, it would be a serious omission if El Salvador were not listed among the countries with the best environments for BTC.

It's important to let people know why they would want to use BTC in the first place: it's not another name for the usual fiat system, it's something more packed with so much more to learn and use.

When wallets this old suddenly “wake up,” it usually sparks speculation, such as..

Is the owner just reorganizing funds for security reasons? Or does this mean a potential dump is coming?
Why are older Wallets always treated as if they are Prophets?  Do you panic when the rich neighbor sells their house because maybe it means a war is coming?  It could be the Wallet of a deceased person found by the inheritants.  There are so many possibilities and it is simply an incredible waste of time to try and think of them all.  It is only a Wallet.  No point in doing philosophy over it!

Doesn't anybody beside me think that the hidden purpose behind AI hysteria is to use its computing power to pierce cryptocurency hashrate armour?
Are we going to start saying the hidden reason why Cure for cancer isn't around is because they want to destroy Bitcoin?
Everything isn't about destroying Bitcoin.


Adding to what Ertil stated, If the goal was truly to dominate hashrates
it would make more sense to build ASIC farms directly rather than through AI's.
Totally ineffective.
And mind you it's miners that chose to diversify with AI companies to hedge against the volatility in market.


AI would need to know, how to count.

I didn't mean AI would do this, somebody could just reprogram GPUs used for AI to attack cryptocurrency.
[/quote] To attack they still need to control 51% of the  Hash rate and this would be limited to GPU based coins
Wouldn't work on SHA 256.

What will be the fate of BTC in the next 10 years? Will it be the main source of exchange of value or will it continue to be an alternative virtual money? I may not be able to predict its outcome, but I surely know that with progress in terms of enhancing Bitcoin's programmability through native smart contract protocols via a project called Bitlight Labs, which is pioneering blockchain infrastructure, it will continue to progress from every angle.
The only thing in my own opinion that could be something to consider for any of those things mentioned above to happen is the acceptance aspect from the government and other influences. What do you think?

As a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Bitcoin is known for its proof-of-work (PoW) system.

Only time will tell what Bitcoin's future will be in the next 10 years, and I believe that the next 10 years will be increasingly positive as a cash system with increasing adoption among a wider audience.
