Do you think bitcoins will disapear or become unused?

[Supercrypt]

In my opinion, the only way Bitcoin will disappear if governments ban bitcoin so you can't use it anymore.

Governments can only ban bitcoins used for illegal activities, they cannot ban bitcoin as a whole as even government don't have a control over bitcoins at a moment, so I don't bitcoin will disappear it will be more popular in future.

That's correct, and I don't see that government will ever stand by bitcoins as they know if bitcoin gets on mainstream then they will loose all their control that they have on fiat at a moment, but bitcoins can never be idle or unused.

There are many Government officials who are corrupt and they would never want bitcoins to get popular or become legal due to the reason you stated. I strongly believe bitcoins would never disappear but the number of users would reduce due to this.

However, if more and more websites and brands use bitcoins and make them their own currency, the Government would have to accept it but still restrictions would apply but I believe bitcoin's growth will not bother those as bitcoin ecosystem has all the potentials and solutions to today's digital world. Bitcoin is going to stay with us for ever for sure.

Bitcoin will never disappear, infact it will be more powerful as a currency and we will find more users adopting bitcoin as a currency, once bitcoin gains popularity, it would be much stronger then present.

I think it's nearly impossible now for bitcoin to become unused until its value reached 0 whoch is not possible for anything in this world. Money value can go up and down so it has some value i can sell it and can buy candies this is the reason which creating demands in the market and demand and supply means its useful...

Yeah bitcoin cannot disappear so easily, it is here to grow and become more popular in future, and I don't see that it remains unused, as it holds value people would keep on spending it when they need it.

No, i think bitcoin will never disappear or become unused. well, maybe someday bitcoin will disappear or become unused. but for this year, i think bitcoin is fine. 

Bitcoin will never disappear even in years that would pass, there might be new coins that would  go up and be in competition with bitcoin, but it could never be replaced nor unused..

For me bitcoin wont disappear but maybe itll just get replace by a more useful crypto currency in the future and change will take place.

agree bitcoin will never dissapear or unused, maybe there will be some problems for bitcoin as a crisis and a competitor, but I believe bitcoin could cope with it, the key is in users, if users continue to come I'm sure the bitcoin will survive

Why would it disappear? In fact that's the only question to ask, would there be any reason for it to disappear?

It'l always be profitable to mine (because of difficulty scaling on hash power) and it won't just disappear like that. So why would it be unused?

Bitcoins won't get disappeared or get unused unless people stop using it for genuine reasons if ever arises...
And it's just 6 years I guess from its birth, so why are everyone asking about its death this earlier???
Even an average person lives a life for at least 50 years, so why to expect BTC to die this soon???

[HeroCat]

Bitcoins will be in the market and I think banks will implement them in their payment systems too.

Yeah, the reason is majority of the people hates bitcoin and they don't want to see it rising, so they are busy in spreading negative news of bitcoins, but bitcoin will answer its critics and will be much stronger in future.

[neonshium]

I feel that bitcoins will survive always as more and more users are trading in bitcoins and bitcoin becoming more popular. Any scam or Government regulations will not stop the growth of bitcoin. So, worrying on bitcoin's future is meaningless.

It's more because there is no reason for people to stop using it.
Price could go down. Global hashpower too.
But why would people stop using it?

Yes, the recent escrow.ms case had bitcoins involved in fraudulent activities and all that the Government cares about is the misuse of an unrecognized currency. But bitcoin will grow and stay stronger regardless of any incidents like this. We just need to be more careful from scams and ponzis. That's all.

Yeah if people are getting benefits from bitcoins they would continue to use and bitcoin is successfully doing that, so I don't think that people would stop using it unless it completely disappears.

Yes you are right. Even by any chance bitcoins are termed illegal and like Russia, people will innovate new ideas like using bitcoins more like gold and saving as investments. Hence, zero percent chances for disappearing or becoming unused.

Yeah there is no chance to get disappear from the world. May be it will take time to reach all class people but it will not lost and all.
Bitcoin is future currency for the world I think fiat only will disappear from the world.

You are saying it wrong...
It will disappear if people stop using it, and that will never happen as everyone here possess some amount of BTC and most would have bought their BTC, and no one is foolish here to just let it end up like this which is one of the best innovative and secure things available to manage our finances on our own...

Yes if everything goes digital then fiat would face a tough competition from bitcoin, as more users will start adopting bitcoin as a currency, so I don't think bitcoin is going anywhere.

People tend to be physically in love. So this would be a big blast if that happens. Fiat might lose its value but it will be created again. We people wants something that is real and can be touch. Besides those fiats are the ones used to see the value of how large a bitcoin is.
