Obviously if you are here and you aren't in team 1) you are doing it wrong.
I think Bitcoin will go through numerous lucrative bubbles tho, but this doesn't mean you can't be for the long term too.

It is but obvious that it will grow in the future as the adoption level goes high don't go on the present value of bitcoin it is sure gonna increase in the future and definitely it will face a competition from new entrants and new technologies but I believe it would not affect bitcoin. Same was the case when internet came into existence no one was in support of it but today it has become the necessity.Same would go with bitcoin in future.

Im not sure will change the financial world. Bitcoin is a baby, limited value and a bubble.
im not the pessimists which bitcoin will fail, but really bitcoin just an alternative payment.

wrong.

and that is the reason why you didnt choose option 1  

[melody82]

It may take a while but more people and businesses are adopting it all the time.  At some point adoption will reach a critical mass and the public will start to trust bitcoins.  WHen this happens both adoption and price should go up a lot.

[HCLivess]

blockchain tech is the future
bitcoin not so sure, but it surely isnt dead any time soon

[hasiramasenju]

i vote for Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. Price Bitcoin will only grow
even might seem impossible i hope in the future it would actually happen

[The Bad Guy]

i voted for the first one which is Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. Price Bitcoin will only grow .
i think i'am not here for a long time but i still have the right to give an opinion , i still potentials on this digital currency however im afraid of few things like Bitcoin NX & the block size which may cause few problems

[LFC_Bitcoin]

In an ideal world bitcoin becomes a store of value, a currency used to transfer money to all corners of the world.
I don't think it'll ever be adopter as a countries national currency but it should destroy PayPal & Western Union for starters.
It does everything they can do & more quicker & without ludicrously high fees.
Due to there being a limit of coins to ever be mined (21 million) anybody who HODL's bitcoin now could become very wealthy if bitcoin ever achieves absolute worldwide, mainstream adoption.
I voted 1.) by the way 

[daddybios]

I created this poll on my website. But there are few visits. So I create a poll here. Please vote.

It is but obvious that it will grow in the future as the adoption level goes high don't go on the present value of bitcoin it is sure gonna increase in the future and definitely it will face a competition from new entrants and new technologies but I believe it would not affect bitcoin. Same was the case when internet came into existence no one was in support of it but today it has become the necessity.Same would go with bitcoin in future.

I hope that Bitcoin will live, but many believe that an end to it.

Im not sure will change the financial world. Bitcoin is a baby, limited value and a bubble.
im not the pessimists which bitcoin will fail, but really bitcoin just an alternative payment.

And there is. It's just an alternative currency. But how do you think it has the potential?
How do you vote?

It may take a while but more people and businesses are adopting it all the time.  At some point adoption will reach a critical mass and the public will start to trust bitcoins.  WHen this happens both adoption and price should go up a lot.

I hope that the price will go up.
Personally, I need it.

blockchain tech is the future
bitcoin not so sure, but it surely isnt dead any time soon

I wanted to add a third option in the vote. "Will only blockchain". But I changed my mind.

i still potentials on this digital currency however im afraid of few things like Bitcoin NX & the block size which may cause few problems

I think everything will be fine.The block size will grow gradually. So far, all the transactions are placed without problems. But we are still far from the "visa" and "Master Card".

you believe bitcoin will change the financial world? How?

In the future, a lot of people can learn about Bitcoins.
Many of them will pay Bitcoins every day. The options are many. There has recently written by a man who buys food for Bitcoins.
Hopefully Bitcoin was not created in vain. While many are already well earned it.

[ikydesu]

Im not sure will change the financial world. Bitcoin is a baby, limited value and a bubble.

And there is. It's just an alternative currency. But how do you think it has the potential?

Potential? just an alternative currency? Yes i think, but biggest alternative currency

I'm sure bitcoin not fail, i'm sure a lot merchant will adopt, but not really sure will replace a fiat for the main currency.

PayPal & Western Union can integrate Bitcoin. All who are now subject to the Bitcoin - to capitalize on this. But there are people who stubbornly refuse to recognize innovation. By the way, I also voted for the "1" option.

Maybe you're right. But time will tell.

[Stargazer]

I picked the first option, but asking about this here on the forum will always produce the same results. If I thought Bitcoin is a bubble that will quickly be forgotten I wouldn't come here and read about it but instead focus on something else that has a future. I'm sure most of us think the same.

[fatguyyyyy]

bitcoin is not a bubble .. it has huge potential. I am not sure if govt will try to crush bitcoin if it becomes too popular though

It will be a big ego fight, but there will be a critical mass moment where you are simply an idiot by not jumping into Bitcoin. For now some are scared to take a stance, because they are scared of jumping on something that they think might fail. We've seen before haters turning into lovers. Time and facts will do its job.

[cryptworld]

Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. That's ok

But I am not really sure about the price is increasing

[MicroGuy]

Hello! I'm interested in Your opinion on the future of Bitcoin.

Mike Hearn will disappear in 2016 and Newsweek with run a cover story in 2020 claiming to have unearthed the Bitcoin legend.

[pumawolf]

when btc gets popular , the  elite/govt  will release their  own version of crypto  , the mainstream will jump ship. 

[Kprawn]

Bitcoin will still grow slowly for a while, until the financial system and all the VC injected into digital payment methods, develop some sort of Alt coin that would replace Bitcoin.

We seem to think, that the GIANT financial corporations, with huge financial reserves, will just sit back and allow 100% disruption and a total collapse. {Eg. WU / Moneygram / World banks....}

Long before disruption occur, they would finance research and development with the help from the top Core developers in the crypto currency scene, and they will create a NEW alternative to Bitcoin.

You will see the "Ripple type" currencies, that adhere to the control of governments and financial institutions and they will replace Bitcoin.

Bitcoin will still be used by a select group of rebels and libetarians and Anarchists {My spelling sux today, I am very tired} but governments will slowly change regulations to outlaw all crypto currencies that does not adhere to their requirements. 

[muhrohmat]

we try to think the future but we dont know the future the more knolage we have about economy and glabal bitcoin behavior more we can expect the coin to rise if we do take small mesuers to it but from now the btc will be traded more in summer from fiat to btc and in winter more from btc to fiat soo the sesonal year rises and fall may ocur this way more higher price for btc in summer and less in winter only the more aceptancy awernace and like for btc insted of fiat acordin to oprtunities windows make it rise the bussness volume its high now but can rise more if the anonamisy good of coin can be used to good no terroristical factors and care to good peoples needs instead of creating bad habits in the coin for that the coin its goin to rise in opinion of liders in capital world of fiat.

[S4VV4S]

Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. That's ok

But I am not really sure about the price is increasing

If you believe in the first 2 statements then there shoudn't be any reason for you not to believe that the price will increase.
The price will increase eventually.
Don't forget that there is a limited supply of only 21M in existence ever.
Deduct the 1M speculated to be owned by Satoshi and you have 20M coins.
There is also the one that hodl loads of it (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html)
So, like I said, the price will increase eventually.
We just need to be patient  and hodl

[Amph]

Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. That's ok

But I am not really sure about the price is increasing

it was already mentioned multiple times, that bitcoin can't reach mainstream and still "wearing " this ridiculous price

Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. That's ok

But I am not really sure about the price is increasing

So, like I said, the price will increase eventually.
We just need to be patient  and hodl

you need to reduce much more than 1M, lost coins are probably around 3-5M

i wonder what will happen if we enter the fees era right now and cut the rest of the supply(i should create a thread about this), does it will speed up the bitcoin ascent?

bitcoin is not a bubble .. it has huge potential. I am not sure if govt will try to crush bitcoin if it becomes too popular though

i doubt, they will just regulate it more, to milk some heavy taxes from it

[daddybios]

In fact, part of the coins will be lost permanently.
What do you think, how much maximum can rise in the price of Bitcoin?
And another question. For example, if I buy a coffee in a cafe for Bitcoin, I have to stand near the cash register and wait 6 Confirmed?

[thebenjamincode]

well i believe in bitcoin
because the way i see it,
it is a very good concept of transferring money
it will have a great future once mass adaptation occurs

[jason miner]

of course Bitcoin have great potential
the Bitcoin interest increases every day from all markets, the popularity is growing in all major respects. Except one, that is the price. Which is not really indicative of anything.

[daddybios]

well i believe in bitcoin
because the way i see it,

Yes! But you have to wait 6 evidence, and it is not very convenient. So I asked the top post. How to buy a cup of coffee for the Bitcoin?

Here are the results of the voting itself on my website:
Option 1 - 67.4%
Option 2 - 32.6%
Everywhere people are thinking the same way.
Once I asked:
What are for you the main advantages of Bitcoin?
Decentralization - 39.7%
Anonymity - 42.2%
Low commission - 18.1%

[dothebeats]

The room for growth in bitcoin is very large; there are many things that could happen along the way. It is very evident that there are setbacks every now and then, like companies saying bitcoin isn't good, gov'ts banning bitcoin, several exchanges asking for too much personal information (that is against bitcoin's concept of anonymity) and most specially, people on-board treating bitcoin as an investment and not as a currency. The concept of bitcoin is great, I mean, who doesn't want to have full control of their money? It's just that the general public are too accustomed on using the fiat system on their monetary engagements. Once the general public realizes that bitcoin is the way to go and fiat is completely flawed in several aspects.

[pooya87]

option three! a little bit of both
i believe that bitcoin was a revolutionary technology that changed the financial world and it is going to be around for many years to come.
Bitcoin has great potentials. and as far as price goes, no one can tell. but i think it is going to grow. and surely it is going to have other bubbles too.
as long as it has some flaws it is not going to be as big as it can be.

[Nahl]

i vote for Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. Price Bitcoin will only grow and i hope this is will happen
in the near future

[LiteCoinGuy]

Im not sure will change the financial world. Bitcoin is a baby, limited value and a bubble.
im not the pessimists which bitcoin will fail, but really bitcoin just an alternative payment.


~iki

wrong.

and that is the reason why you didnt choose option 1  

Just my opinion
what your opinion? you believe bitcoin will change the financial world? How?


~iki

no problem.  


you said it is "only a alternative payment method". you should take a look here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nOfHpOFhN8

some examples...

[zeraTunerse]

i vote for Bitcoin will change the financial world. Bitcoin have great potential. Price Bitcoin will only grow
even might seem impossible i hope in the future it would actually happen

Yes I would go with the option A as bitcoin is the future so I believe that it will definitely change the financial world and people will get rid of the the traditional banking system which would save money and time as transacting with bitcoins is so simple and easy with the least cost.

[Xenoph0bia]

well i believe in bitcoin
because the way i see it,
it is a very good concept of transferring money
it will have a great future once mass adaptation occurs

Exactly bitcoin is the future and the future of bitcoin is very bright as the mass adoption occurs and then it can surely replace the fiat currency and the best thing is it is decentralised so the privacy factor is associated with bitcoin and it really saves time and money when it comes to transferring money.

[Amph]

For example, if I buy a coffee in a cafe for Bitcoin, I have to stand near the cash register and wait 6 Confirmed?

you don't need to, for small transaction, the risk of attack is lower, also the amount of money is so low that it should not be a problem for those small shops, to let it go without confirmation

[oser41eric]

when btc gets popular , the  elite/govt  will release their  own version of crypto  , the mainstream will jump ship.  

You could be right but if they cared that much about crypto they either would have done it around the time of the bitcoin bubble, or they would have just brought massive mining farms and brought up a load of the supply (probably have). The truth is they do not care about this little spec in the ocean, the mainstream are not here to jump ship.

OP I am an optimist and I believe bitcoin will keep growing all over the world, will it change the financial world? It is possible of course it is and time will tell either way lets hope it grows and gets intelligent savvy business owners who join the team.

[hunnaryb]

I don't think it can change the financial world looking at the present value of bitcoin.

And I simply disagree that it can replace fiat or traditional banking system as the banking system origins from years and bitcoin is new born baby in front of fiat and banking so it would be mistake to come to an opinion that it can change the financial world.

[kenbytes]

That depends on what future are we talking about, maybe in a medium term Bitcoin will be adopted worldwide as an extra form of money that guarantees lots of payment facilities

[monsanto]

[NorrisK]

I think the technology behind bitcoin and especially the blockchain will fuel a lot of new innovation. Whether bitcoin itself will be used is to be seen though. First mover advantage can be strong though

[amiryaqot]

Bitcoin is on very solid progress by getting natural growth all financial analysis showing the clear sign of it's bright future, adoption increasing dramatically day by day around the globe and acceptance by the big merchants soon we will see more companies into the list, it is good time to buy and hold to secure the our future.

[Slark]

Bitcoin is already changing people's minds and perception of how financial institutions should work. Blockchain technology is being researched by banks, IT companies and governments.
People already invested too much in bitcoin its infrastructure and services. I can't end like a standard altcoin bubble. Of course it will change our future.

[Pursuer]

I can not choose the second option because in spite the fact bitcoin's price had bubbles and it is going to suffer the same fate as before in the future, the price is not going down to zero. It is going to continue having a steady growth.

so I think that bitcoin has great potentials an I agree with the first option more, and that is the price will grow and it is going to change the financial world.

I am a firm believer in bitcoin and i believe that the price of bitcoin will appreciate with time. It has stayed true to the vision of Satoshi and will continue to do so. Bitcoin is here to stay and change the way the world financial is in the current state and the price will go up in the near future.

[prodigy8]

For the believers, it's easy to see Bitcoin will prevail in the long run. It's logical to see how its benefits will eventually win the hearts and minds of the people. Just keep your head up

I think you don't have to believe in Bitcoin, even if you take an analytical approach it's pretty clear that it's a much better money system than the corrupt one we have now.

People already invested too much in bitcoin its infrastructure and services. I can't end like a standard altcoin bubble. Of course it will change our future.

Bitcoin already changed our thinking about financial freedom, money, the online payments, security etc.
Now the main question is whether bitcoin can survive long term and become mainstream, globally accepted by many ''big'' merchants, average Internet users etc
So far, the bitcoin was a leader in his field but the competition is more intense every day and we will need to make more efforts in order to make breakthrough and become main standard.
I'm optimistic and really see bright future for us, bitcoin users.
Just recently we got first Bitcoin ATM in my country, already some companies accept bitcoin so every day we see some progress

[Pursuer]

this is why we always see so much panic sells/buys and so many market price swings all over the place.

[Ruzka]

When I first entered bitcoin I believed it was going to change the financial world for the masses for the better, as time has gone on I don't believe so much anymore that it will do what I first believed. Will it grow I am also skeptical about this but heres to hoping it does 

I am in camp 2 I feel it was a bubble and will roll down to a few dollars not 0 though because to much funds will be pushing it back up and carry on manipulating to make their quick buck.

There were skeptics like you at the start also but some people believed in the concept and they bought it when not many people were buying, and now we know them as 'early adopters' and because they believed in it they received the rewards when it went to the roof.

I believe bitcoin has a great future ahead and the people who believe in it will again be rewarded in future, but it might not be in near future as it will take some time.

I was a skeptic myself at the beginning of my journey with bitcoin. Then I thought there is short way to make bitcoin a global and the most popular payment processor on Earth.
But now I see that is not that easy task. Old financial system is strong and they won't give up easily. On top of that decentralisation is not always something to be proud of.
Sometimes bitcoin need strong leadership and not thousands voices screaming different things. (See the last debate: bitcoin core  vs xt)

[daddybios]

Old financial system, not necessarily to fight with Bitcoins. They can just take and use it. And then continue to make money.

See the last debate

There will be many similar situations. People will always argue.

Total Voters: 76

Why do so few people vote? I thought the more a person is online.

[Harry Hood]

There's no doubt that the technology can change the industry of financial transactions. We've seen so much attention and recognition of this from the bitcoin community, the banking community, and the Federal Reserve. The uncertainty that I think still remains is if bitcoin will remain as a currency choice. I don't think that innovation of this project has reached validation or the full level of acceptance yet.

It's possible that the legacy of bitcoin is the technology and that the currency could fade into the history books. (Obviously I'd wouldn't want that, but it's a possibility.)

I think it in the same way you cannot afford to trust something very blindly that it can change the world. Ofcourse we want it should change the world in the coming years as we are using bitcoins but it is difficult to judge at a moment whether it will change the world or it will no more in the future.

it does not need the support from government at all, to stay competitive against fiat, it only need more people using it, that's all, those who do not utilize it, have a problem in handling the bitcoin security, and they are still to addicted to a form of a central security

It is a matter of habit towards the new(bitcoin), you need plenty of time before their habit will be moved toward a decentralized monetary system, like bitcoin

like someone said,(it was satoshi i think) bitcoin can or die or reach the moon, there is no middle way

Exactly there is no middle way for bitcoin. Either it will reach the moon or it will just be an topic of history in the future and people would just keep on talking that there was a currency like bitcoin in the past but it didn't work. How it will work without the awareness level of the people and we don't want that bitcoin should only on the paper we wish that it could change the financial system.

I don't think it can change the world or the financial system of the country. Its behavior would be the same as it is at present It can never bring the revolution across the globe which internet did. Today internet is the basic necessity and there is no alternative for internet but there are many alternatives for bitcoins so we need to take it easy.

[hunnaryb]

I can not choose the second option because in spite the fact bitcoin's price had bubbles and it is going to suffer the same fate as before in the future, the price is not going down to zero. It is going to continue having a steady growth.

so I think that bitcoin has great potentials an I agree with the first option more, and that is the price will grow and it is going to change the financial world.

Yes it can change the financial system but only if the adoption level goes to the maximum or else the future of bitcoin is in dark. And we cannot run away from the reality that still many countries are not aware about the bitcoin so if each and every country start using bitcoin then it can surely create an history.

I'm optimistic about the future, I imagine it being widely accepted as a method of payment and trading. Because of it's decentralized nature, it's bound to be better accepted, which in turn shall increase the value.
I think crypto-currency is highly potent, and is something that will be widely accepted across the globe.

I think it will, eventually, change the world.  It may very well be like 5-10 years from today but I believe it will happen.  Stay in it for the long haul boys!

Well we're all somewhat optimistic, otherwise we wouldnt hang around here as much. But i disagree with you on this bolded part , since no central authority also makes
every potential new user sceptical, given the fact that they have noone to turn to in the case of theft or fraud.
I believe in decentralisation, but i don't think it's attracting the average Joe, but rather speculators and fast profit seekers.

cheers

If there is nobody to turn to in case of theft or fraud, people will be extra careful about their bitcoins. Average Joe will know that he has to be absolutely sure of security aspects before entering Bitcoin. That is a good thing.

Give it some more thought; many people assume that they have someone to turn to in such cases of abuse, only to find the fact that there isn't anyone who can help them.
People are entering bitcoin world without knowing all facts, and when they loose funds for either reason - they feel betrayed, played, hustled. Those people turn their back and don't return, and we don't want that.

Very rightly said or else it would affect the bitcoin community. And once they have a negative impression about the bitcoin they would spread the same news to their peers or their friends and family that it is not worth to invest in bitcoin as he has gone through losses he will suggest them not to invest in bitcoins as we all know that mouth publicity is the biggest publicity

Bitcoin is the future of the money

Bitcoin is the future of the money 

i don't know what kind of futures will be for bitcoin...
but i know for sure who we are in side range trading since the beginning of Feb..
and when there isn't volatility, interest go away...

Yes it can change the world only if it is handled in a proper way. People should make aware about the advantages of bitcoin and should be encouraged to use it more and more then only the value of bitcoin will reach to a next level.

Yeah, I don't think people even know what the concept of decentralization is. If you go out on the street and ask people "do you know what decentralization is", it's probably 1 in 10 people that would know what it is, let alone in the context of a Bitcoin.

Very shortly. Bitcoin is a great invention. Is the first materialization of peer to peer technology which now is be applied every day more and more in different field of economy replacing the possible old existing technologies. Is an invention, I think, which will know only development. In which way, this remain to be seen. The time of its legality remain too a big interrogation because is seen yet as an concurrent and not as an big positive invention which can revolutionize the world of currencies. I think that bitcoin will be supported always from the technology which invented it so it will no stop and no disappearance of it.
