A Billion People Will Be Using Cryptocurrency in 5 Years: Brian Armstrong

That's only a prediction but a positive prediction, if that happens then Bitcoin could be worth millions of dollars then, just as predicted by Mcafee but unfortunately, he predicted 2020 anyway, this is the best time to hodl Bitcoin with this figure Bitcoin will be scarce.

I find it difficult to believe that we are going to reach such a huge number so fast, the adoption will have to grow at an incredible speed for that to have any remote chance of happening, I am a little bit more conservative if we could get 100 million people to use bitcoin during the next decade that will still be a big win for bitcoin and it will mean that bitcoin will probably never disappear.

We are more than a million here in Bitcointalk.org and until now i am meeting people that has been involved in bitcoin but don’t even know this site so what i mean here?

Theres alot of bitcoin user outside bitcointalk so in totality there are many people using this outside our knowledge and by this Brian Armstrong is almost right now and what more after another 5 years(when people are more adopting computerized things than physical and this is the specialization of bitcoin

I agree with your opinion, one billion bitcoin users in 5 years. Most Bitcoin users are in developed countries, so users spread faster and multiply because the system that was born and developed in developed countries is very easy to adopt in developing countries.
Especially if the system is easy and generates benefits for users, it is certainly increasingly popular, so that 1 billion people use bitcoin is not impossible.

According to Brian Armstrong, the chief executive of coinbase, the number of users of cryptocurrency is going to increase by 1 billion in about next 5 years. Everyday the field of cryptocurrency is expanding and the number of cryptocurrency users are also increasing in the same rate. He believes that the growth will be caused by the growing number of cryptocurrency companies. There is a big probability of this prediction coming true as the cryptocurrency market is actually expanding everyday.

While this is still unpredictable. As Satoshi Nakamoto said at one time - in twenty years there will be either a lot of transactions in Bitcoin, or there will be no transactions. Maybe in the next five years, a billion people will use the cryptocurrency. Despite many predictions, no one can know for sure.

Just like the creator said, Satoshi is not also sure about the mass adoption but since we are slowly showing a big support on cryptocurrency, i think we can achieve this. We encountered many problems before and yet many new investors are coming and the volume is increasing. Predictions can still happen, let’s not expect much.

This is possible even earlier than 5 years. Bitcoin is going mainstream and getting the whole idea about crypto. The community is ever growing and undenyingly the demand for Bitcoin as well, if Bitcoin community will reach Billion of people which I think we're close to it by now, it will cause the price to go even more higher than the highest peak.
