The dominant currency in the world. The blockchain will be the backbone, but the userinterface will look much much different from now. Private people and firms will be able to transfer and store wealth safely and easily in bitcoin. The transfer part is already there, now we need the store part to work...

Further that bitcoin, the blockchain will be applied to a range of other contexts.

My dream is that bitcoin is used in many shops that I usually use and that it is as known as everybody knows it in the world

[mezmerizer9]

In my mind bitcoin will be the future money, global accepted money! Nearly every merchaints are accepting bitcoin payment. The bitcoin applications are covering every aspects of our life. Users wouldn't worry about the security, the double spending, scams etc.

I have hopes that BTC will empower individuals to control their financial futures outside of fiat currency and the banking cartels.  I like a world were BTC holdings can better transactions, international dealings, and even long term holdings (after volatility isn't a factor of course).

My dream is that one day (probably long after I'm gone), we live in a peaceful society
with only small local governments that have to earn their money in the free market
like everyone else.

my dream for bitcoin is to see a day that it is accepted widely all over the world and to see the price very high and be able to gain a good profit from my bitcoins.

That it will replace fiat money as the standard currency and payment method.

Multiple currencies and payment systems may still exist simultaneously (both cryptocurrencies and fiat money) but I hope that Bitcoin will be the most important one.

[VirosaGITS]

Hmm, i would more mainstream application. Like more openly accepted by vendors online. That China stop having a monopoly on it and that mining it with cheap electricity remain very profitable.

I wish BTC could remain profitable for small home miners.

I wish BTC would have faster confirms

Bitcoin is going where the community takes it ...

My observation is that it's becoming less and less community driven, and that alarms me. Thank god for this forum, because many other popular venues are basically just exercises in cheerleading, with critical discussion frowned upon.

I think it still has a chance, but let's not forget it has over 1000 competitors.

[wadili89]

Bitcoins are one of the most plasent thing happend to me and i am really loving it and i can bet others are taking more benefit from bitcoins then me i want it to be stable at 1000 USD so small value like 0.0001 BTC have some value.

My dream is that paper money does not exist anymore

its a bad dream wakeup.

If Bitcoin achieves critical mass adoption, then it will be the answer to end world poverty, and we can finally be allowed to work for ourselves, rather than having to request authorities for permission.

Central, regulatory institutions only help to restrict, control and stop you from working when you can work. It prevents first starters from taking the first step to gain work experience. Impoverished circumstances will lead most first starters to take any ungainful experience that actually lead nowhere in life. The end result of systems that serve the banking system is always bail outs for the banks.

[Kprawn]

This is the thing everyone is discussing, but nobody really knows. The current trend, is for many big organizations to develop their own Blockchain type technologies and some are even developing Alt coins to

address the shortcomings {as they perceive it} of Bitcoin. They want something they can manipulate at will, like they are doing with fiat now, and also something centralized and geared towards KYC/AML

regulations.

The consumers will be given a choice to use Bitcoin or this new ripp off coin, and they will use their version of the Blockchain in the background, without the consumers knowing it.

Bitcoin still have the edge, with a established merchant network and loyal user base, but the banks and the financial sector have a strong userbase too, so they could just slip it past them as a new service

and they would gain the advantage.

It is our task to identify these services and too explain the differences between Bitcoin and RippoffCoin to the general public. If we fail this, Bitcoin will fail too.

Could you explain how bitcoin could possibly end world poverty?

Its not like its going to create water, food and education out of tin air.

Its not going to make earth able to support more population.

No need to dream cause it will become reality. This LTC block halving s an excellent example what s gonna happen to BTC next summer. The price ll go up 3x-5x and it ll stay there.
So get as many as you can while you can.

[Herbert2020]

my biggest dream which i am sure that i am sharing it with a lot of other bitcoin users, is that bitcoin price goes up. and i don't mean a surge or pump but a steady growth even if it is little by little and also no price crashing like a big dive in price.

For the most I think it will be a kind of hobbies. People will know better and better it and would like to have some. Then if the value will increase continuously it will be more interesting to save those and to hope to be rich. maybe will be spent some of those but the most will be saved for the bad days or for the big investments.

[Falconer]

I only hope there will be many shops that accept bitcoin in my city, so finally I know how to spend my bitcoin beside gambling, and dont need to exchange my bitcoin for fiat like I do usually to buy any stuff for me.

My dream for bitcoin is that this coin to be a strong currency and a real alternative to the fiat money. Maybe the money of the money. The money which will determine the real value of all the other fiat national money. Since is not inflationary bitcoin can do this duty excellently. If any fiat money can be printed depending the desires of the central banks that mean that that money can lost value. This loss can be measured with the value that money have with bitcoin. In this can be compared the good fiat money with the worst one and the people will learn which of those can save or use and which not.
