Circle CEO on BTC: Nobody Will Be Using Bitcoin in 5 to 10 Years

[xypos]

The source of the statement is from this article http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/11/20/circle-ceo-nobody-will-using-bitcoin-5-10-years/

So I ask this. As the growth of the darknet market place every year keeps going higher and higher, the possibility of it becoming a multi billion market place is not too far to reach. What currency will it use if not Bitcoin?

Does the CEO of Circle knows what he is talking about at all? Most of the so called "experts" in the Bitcoin and blockchain world do not know what they are talking about because it is all still new.

For me the people to listen to about blockchains are Peter Todd, Gregory Maxwell, Adam Back, Luke-Jr and there might be some names I have forgotten so please post them in here.

It's his opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't agree with him.

I think that bitcoin although slowing down over the past few years has been getting a boost again since the halving earlier this year, as well as the price hikes as the result of the Trump presidency. If we as a community can make the right moves in the coming years we can definitely build this into a great project.

yes but they are only entitle to have those opinions and not entitled to shove it down other peoples throats!
and certainly nobody is entitled to spread FUD. and for what because his business has failed to deliver because of incompetence!
as you said bitcoin is on a good path, and the problems that it has like the block size was not able to slow it down so far.

Bitcoin is growing exponentially. At this rate, it seems the usage should double in the next 5 to 10 years.

Well this is a very good news regarding that circle would able to adopt bitcoin on next 5 to 10 years but i think they are late enough to engage. If they decide to adopt bitcoin then its the best time to do it now since bitcoins is only at its earlier years or maybe they are just waiting for the exact time when bitcoin reaches a particular time or year.

Lol.  You should be reading everything before you make this post. The op say the ceo of circle states that nobody will use bitcoin after 5-10 years. Anyway, i respect their decision. But saying those words. I think theres no need to say that. Circle just dump bitcoin. Thats it. No one is affected. I think their just be fine. There are many companies out there that are willing to engage with bitcoin and will be more in the future.

Definitely. A speculation will remain speculation and it doesn't matter who's speaking the speculation and what's the reason behind it. The future can't be predicted and even next 1 year you will not know what's exactly  coming. And I think this speculation or just say prediction don't have strong reason behind it because as you see that demands to increase

i think Circle CEO was dying to be mentioned in some kind of list or record and stay there in the history so he  said these things.

because ever since he said it he is now inside the bullshit list, also known as the bitcoin obituaries list and he is going to stay there forever as an idiot
