The future of the paper money

[South Park]

I think the paper money in 20 years will be destroyed and replaced with digital money. The main issue is that the government should fully control the money supply. Now in my country, more than 40℅ people save money under the pillow, after their digital money would eliminate such manner.

Governments already control the money supply, after all they are the ones printing it, they want to monitor every single transaction made, according to them they want to do this for the public safety but it is nothing but a lie, they want full control of you and your money.

very honestly governments are responsible for providing basic needs, security and shelter to their to their citizen, therefor they must have full control over all the activities of their citizens, and may that is the main reason that they are not accepting bitcoin as legal currency, but i am still hopeful that still they will find out some good solution for that problem and will accept bitcoin without effect the original status of bitcoin.

Disagree, governments must have some degree of control over their citizens that is true but to have full control over the activities of their citizens as you suggest? Of course not, why the governments of the world need to know if you like football better than baseball? Theres is not a reason for that but that is what they are doing.

The future of the paper money will end i think, the technology is rising we can create money digital or online, we can always inovate anything. Plus using paper money consumes resources like trees and copper or what so ever. Making money as digital will help preserce our nature

i do not think that it is so easy that the future of fiat will come to an end. i think it will continue for long long time. because still there is not any other currency that can compet fiat. although bitcoin is becoming popular from time to time, but it still it will take decades to replace fiat. as still even not 1% people are using bitcoin.

yes that is a fact fiat is not going to an end so easily, because fiat is still the main currency of the people and they are using it primarily while those people who know about bitcoin are still taking it as secondary option. because bitcoin is still not using for shopping everywhere.

It is true when all of us will be going to use bitcoin, we all know that bitcoin will be going to be on impact. We see our primarily money is a paper money. We should all see what will be effects of bitcoin on our paper money?, is this still be on its true value? or it will be going to be one of our negative effect on our own monetary value?

Possibly it will make a negative effect of our fiat money and I don't think it will happen soon or in the future. We are very positive with accepting bitcoin in our daily life activities but that would not mean that we have to let go of fiat system. We have to do some reality check here, aren't we? Almost all of the transactions in the world are depending on fiat to make it successful, so it's hard to sacrifice the current situation.

Paper money is there and will be there though it may be more for a local reasons. While for money transferring if btc and block chain technology if country approves then for money remittance this could be used and has a bright future.

Yes it can be a good use for all of us that wants to use bitcoin for remitting money but still paper money will always remain. It's like that the remittance center will just send the amount that their customer desires to send. Then after sending, their branch to the receiver will just give it to them in terms of paper money.

I am very sure, paper money survive no more than 50 years, this is because the Earth has been very badly damaged, thus the use of papers are forbidden, including to make money.

In that case the government could find an alternative, producing paper actually will really reduce due to the use of computer and other gadgets... I am thinking that it is the best solution that they could came up with... but when it comes to fiat,plastic, we have plenty of that in this world and probably it's time that we put them to use when we are out of paper or if we want to preserve the nature...

interesting thought , but there is a lot of crumbly paper too ,
so it shouldn't be a problem anymore if they want to keep printing the pape money ,
imho applying digital money needed hundred years ,
so i doubt within 50 year paper moneycan be replaced.

[BTCdoaA]

I think in the coming two decades paper money will be vanished and will be replaced by the new form of payments , now in first world like euro zone,USA and Russia many prefer not to use the paper money , so only grand mothers\fathers believe else than that . i hope Bitcoin and other alts will play a basic role in the future regard to this .

either we use paper for money only? i think if paper become a problem then we will suffer in other aspects of life. so  think paper cannot be a problem for the governments, but i think the only problem can be that people will be giving more preference to online trading and shopping and thus the use of fiat currency will decrease and therefore i think government will be thinking for creating their own online currency for their people.

Probably that's the other thing that could happen, but I really do think that the use of paper money in real life won't decrease a lot and it will be used for many years, though I am thinking that there will be an options each time we bought something like if we want to pay it in cash or in card.. But as I've said, if the production of paper money cannot be stopped, I think the government will come up with an alternative...

It cant really be stopped since its being backed by the government and its existence would still remain and strong no matter what. Bitcoin maybe a trend on future but fiat would still be there the future would be the same.Id government would decide to create their own currency they will surely use another coin and would not tend to use bitcoin since its not controllable.

Sonner or later, the government system will collapse due to many reasons. People love freedom and they do not like being controlled by other people. Therefore, in about 100 years later, we will see a lot of protest, war, chaos, etc about knocking down the centralized system. Bitcoin will become the main currency and people will burn FIAT into ash

We've been on the way to becoming a cashless society for a while now. ATM cards are largely replacing your actual currency, and credit cards become like mini-loans to extend the cash you don't have on hand that you weren't using anyway because you have a debit card

[rchstr]

governments simply aren't interested in incorporating bitcoin. they can't deal with the fact that it is something they can't control. paper money will stay at least for another 10-20 years.

maybe in the near future when the developers of bitcoin and the governemnt from other nations has an approval that make the bitcoin official to their country then why not? maybe not every other nation will not approved that the bitcoin is now an official for others, but maybe some countries will make it as an official and alternative for paper moneys.

[Hammerschmidt]

Although by "paper" you probably refer to "what the paper represents" and not the actual paper itself...recall the United States destroys tons of paper bills every year because it physically gets worn out. In fact, didn't Canada experiment with a new, thin, plastic dollar? I remember seeing that on TV one night.

No matter what medium backs up the currency of a nation, it will always symbolize the "atom" of that nation's "unit of work," and therefore will probably always be with us.

We need some paper money yet, but in the future, our technology and innovation can invent a virtual money. Just like you are saying, for this day, our money is paper, and what if in the future, our money becomes virtual money, or cannot be seen through our own eyes. I think it can be invented after a few years, we all just need to be on the right track of using it.

The world is moving fast, so we should be moving as well. Changes cannot be prevented anymore as innovation will happen, if it's going to be virtual then we must adopt with it and I think bitcoin is now leading and it's a good example for the future innovation of our fiat system.

[delliaerd]

I think paper money have its own importance and will never dead. Though people are started using debit cards, credit cards and other digital currencies; there are some transaction which needs to be deal in traditional cash only. Paper money will be always the main mode of payment for day to day transactions.

Paper money is often counterfeited. Sorry, I disagree about your statement. Using paper money for traditional transaction is not practicaly because it is less effective for small fraction of transaction. I do not think that paper money will be always the main mode of payment because paper money of some countries is being worthless.
Also it is easy to burn or stolen. Need extra security to save big amount of fiat. Paper money isbad for us.

You said everything what I thought. Old people are using paper money and mostly now everyone prefers to use visa/mastercard and mostly cards for payment, we can say that bitcoin can to strengthen it's position in payments system. To my mind paper money only will be in some poor countries because it needs time to make good economics in such countries but future of paper money will end mostly in Europe, Asia and America, it needs small time, not more than 50 year.
