If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless?

[deisik]

Fiat will never be worthless, even when bitcoin price reaches $10k still fiat will be used, because of the transaction time of bitcoin network, it will never be used for day to day life.

Indeed, fiat will be fiat and never be worthless. Now dollar to fiat is at $763+ and still its here and continue to grow. Both have different market to serve and go hand in hand.

No. I have already stopped using fiat currencies even when I go shopping physically. I do use only my bank cards for my shopping purposes and for online I'm using only bitcoin payments. Literally I am completely stopped using currencies.

Yes, I do get my salary in bank account and I am using them with my cards then why a need to get them in my hand.

You seem to be confused about forms in which currencies may exist. When you are using a bank card, you are still using fiat whether you like it or not (though in its digital, or electronic form). In no case you can claim that you have stopped using currencies. In fact, you are using them even more actively. At best, you could say that you stopped using paper money, that would true and that would be exactly what the government wants you and all of us to do...

That is, stop using cash

Do you agree with this statement?

Fiat would be worthless when bitcoin is worth at least a million. This would be mean that inflation is getting out of control. The reason is that Bitcoin price can reach that value pretty fast and the circumstances why this happens could be do different. Fiat will be still be around in decades! A success for bitcoin in terms of value if fiat doesnt have to connected with losing value of fiat.

I'm sure this was mentioned in this thread but, people work and have to be paid for the work they do. I don't see that happening in bitcoins anytime soon so i don't think fiat will disappear unless something drastic happens.

As long as bitcoin is not accepted by a government as their country's official currency, fiat will never be worthless no matter how much bitcoin is.  Another thing that make fiat money worth is that it can be used over the counter in any local markets while bitcoin cannot be used the same way to pay good over the counter.

Fiat will never be worthless even bitcoin will be accepted by the government because that is going to be the main currency of each country.

Even bitcoin will become $10,000 valued cryptocurrency still fiat will remain and more valuable than bitcoin because bitcoins supply is limited.

Unlike fiat, it can be supplied by the government depending on the inflation and the status of the economy.

When the Dollar loses value, do you notice how all the other fiat currencies in the world also lose value? In fact, the other currencies of the world don't just "lose vale" when the Dollar falls, they lose more value than the dollar lost.

Same thing happens when GBP moves lower.

This is why Saddam, Gaddaffi etc were deposed from power so that central banks could be installed in their countries. The Dollar has been losing value consistently since day one. But, if every other currency loses 'even more' value - what really changes?

When discussing the fiat system, there is alot more to discuss than what meets the eye.

If bitcoin were to reach $10,000 per coin, the fiat system will not be effected - at all. Bitcoin has a mere 12 Billion $ market cap, not even a blip on the radar of world economics at this point. (But, will be in the future.)

The question we all need to be more concerned with is, when will bitcoin ever have the liquidity to support a $10K per coin rate?

That remains to be seen

In general, the price of Bitcoin in dollars in most cases is inconsequential to the value of the dollar (or any other fiat currency, for that matter). This essentially means that if Bitcoin gets wider adoption over time, its price may surge without the dollar itself depreciating since more hands will be chasing the same amount of bitcoins (21M at max), while the value of the dollar in terms of goods will basically remain the same. In this way, the Bitcoin price may be however high, but that would have nothing to do with how much things cost in dollars

[South Park]

It will depend on the reason for bitcoin to reach 10k if this was because bitcoin reached wide adoption around the world then I don't think fiat is going to be worthless however if this is because there is wild hyperinflation and you cannot buy anything with a dollar bill then that means that the dollar is in the process of becoming a second rate currency.

We might reach that level in the future but the journey would not be easy, it's the adoption that is necessary that is very hard since we are not yet fully supported by the government. Big businesses can really help to fast track the adoption stage but in their mind they have to protect their business and since bitcoin is a risky currency it will be hard for them to invest a bigger part of their assets.

Personally I think is the average person the one that needs to do the heavy lifting here, since bitcoin is a way to give back the power of currency to the people, if the average person adopted bitcoin, then business will follow because they will want to obtain profits from it.

What is your specific about an average person, I guess most of the adopters of bitcoin are average persons while those whales are extraordinary people since they have proven to be profitable on it. Businesses should make a way to adopt bitcoin as we are increasing in good figures and it should help them to achieve a great market.

Personally I don't think that the bitcoin users, at this point of time are average person's I think that most of those that have adopted bitcoin right now are people that have high interest in technology and economy and even history so no I don't think the average person has adopted bitcoin yet.

I'm sure this was mentioned in this thread but, people work and have to be paid for the work they do. I don't see that happening in bitcoins anytime soon so i don't think fiat will disappear unless something drastic happens.

What drastic action would be needed? Are we talking nuke wars, are we talking about red light district hoes taking bitcoin as a form of payment. Speak up dude because im trying to understand what you're saying but Im having problems.

Just so you know there are already companies that specialize in bitcoin payroll accounting and overstock even pays their employees in bitcoin if the employee chooses to get paid in Bitcoin.

I cant wait to see your reply.

As to me, the most "optimal" drastic action that could help Bitcoin is something which would heavily undermine the faith of people in the government and, consequently, their faith in the monetary tokens that this government happens to issue, without seriously damaging the real economy at the same time. So far the best instance of that was the Cyprus hair-cut, though it was rather constrained and limited in its effects...

Something like that but on the scale of, say, whole Europe would work much better

[Tanic]

I think in the case that bitcoin will cost 10 000$ per 1 BTC government will ban it. Because in that case every bitcoin user will be more or less reach and all that people will try to cash out their money. And that will affect on the whole economy in the world. I think bitcoin will never grow so high. Government will not just let it to happen.

[rajasumi2]

Fiat will never be worthless .there will be both ways of payments .and the price of bitcoins rising to 10000 dollars is a long way to go .and by that time it may have hapen many countries might banned the digital cryptocurrency bitcoins .kudoos

[fuathan3]

I think that is not possible, fiat will always be used by majority of people in future too, no doubt will also use bitcoin once it gets popular but fiat cannot simply disappear.

Bitcoin growing too large to the point that it can damage a certain economy, will indeed result in heavy actions by the government. But I don't think that the price reaching levels into the higher thousands will do much, unless they notice that people use Bitcoin (magnitudes more than is the case right now) to hide money, or to transfer wealth from one country to another. That's when governments will definitely take serious actions against Bitcoin. But not to the point that a total Bitcoin ban will become reality. Can't see that happening.

Depend on the regulation the government is going to make.
If bitcoin price is reaching $10,000 then the fiat will not be worthless but the bitcoin will be more precious. the fiat will remain the same and anything related to it will goes normally. the bitcoin price rising never affect fiat directly

Exactly, there are many things to consider than just the bitcoins price to be considered a legal tender and will replace fiat currency. One factor is the governments view on this, it is hard to persuade the government to throw away fiat currency because bitcoin has a value of 10k $ now. Remember fiat currency is a fuel of the government to make the society maintains its system of government and economy. Government has no hold on bitcoins and taxation problems is a big issue on bitcoins, without the taxes filling the national treasury government services will be useless and it is us who will suffer in the end.

They will have to think up something else that would encourage people to pay the taxes willingly, and not as they do it today, by threatening people with severe penalties and criminal prosecution. As a matter of fact, we may suffer in the end, but the government will be the first to feel the pain, so why should we care if they feel the same pain that we are feeling every day?

Sure nuclear war between all super powers total destroying our current economical system might do it. I'm ok with red light district hoes taking bitcoins for payment but thats not what i'm thinking. I'm thinking the federal reserve coming in and strong arming the government into forfeiture of all assets in order to pay the ever growing debt. This can be followed by a restructuring of the US government with the federal reserve at it's helm. Maybe the sheeple residing in the USA will then wake up and ditch fiat for an alternative source like digital currency a la Bitcoins. It's all hypothetical BUT can happen. Basically, we need the WHOLE world to lose interest in using fiat as a form of payment and look for alternative means.
Your point about overstock paying their employees in bitcoins is cute but minute. I can see the few fedora wearing basement dwellers asking there bosses to send them their paychecks in bitcoins while the normies ask for a paycheck so they can spend it all on cocaine/titties. Maybe youre right, having the local bars, hoes and drug dealers taking bitcoins might be the tipping point to getting 10,000/btc 

[Vuizel]

No I do not think it would be worthless because the bitcoin is really depending on it and the fact is that the price is made by it.

The one problem with your scenario that I see is that as much as people dislike and have a genuine distrust in uncle sam I believe wholeheartedly that this distrust runs way deeper up to and including the fed reserve. Sure they can come in and try to strong arm uncle sam but if uncle sam says no and pushes back then the fed will be stuck licking that debt like a cat cleaning a wound. I mean, what are they going to do? Storm the white house and ask Trump to cut them a check.

You see. If uncle sam decided tomorrow to issue a new fiat and break away from the fed who's going to stop them? JJanet Yellen. Wtf can she do. You see. Uncle sam controls the people and while its true that the fed controls uncles sams money, uncle sam can decide not to play nice anymore and make the fed a thing of the past. As for a restructuring of uncle sams homies, if you pay close attention to the news you'll see that this is already happening as Presiodent elect Donald trump is already replacing all the old staff with new mega billionaires. The restructuring is happening now and maybe if were lucky we'll even see him shut down Jannet and proclaim Bitcoin as the new national currency.

It's funny that you see overstock paying out salaries in bitcoin funny because just 8 years ago bitcoin wasn't even a thing and today people want to get paid in it. I dont see compaines paying employees with iphones yet that has been around way longer and has a larger user base (currently). Also, dont forget the people selling house, cars, planes, boats ect for bitcoin. https://www.bitpremier.com/5-real-estate
The second people sell real world assets for bitcoin you know it's going somehwere.

It's getting late friend and I am high as fuck, rambling on like a guy who's just spent 20 years in solitary confinement., I'll leave you with a short video of my uncle talking about bitcoin back in 2013. Enjoy.

Do you agree with this statement?

I'm not agree that Fiat currency will become worthless and your question itself telling that Fiat currency can not be worthless because a Bitcoin worth $10000.
please note that you are measuring Bitcoin with Fiat money US Dollar.
so one thing is clear that without Fiat money you can not measure Bitcoin value.
Even Gold and Silver also are valued in Fiat currency.

So just think there is no Fiat currency in the world -:
1) How would you buy Bitcoin from others? What will you give in exchange of 1 Bitcoin?
2) How would you know that how much 1 Bitcoin worth because you said Fiat will be worthless ( Zero value)?
