I don't think bitcoin is dependent on fiat. Fiat at the moment is just a way to express bitcoin's value in a way that we understand it. Otherwise how would you say how valuable 1 bitcoin is?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

What you are saying is correct but still in many countries you need to convert your bitcoins to fiat for buying products as they don't  directly accept the payments with bitcoins, so for that first you need to convert your bitcoins  to fiat.

more or less it will if people will not start using only bitcoin and nothing else

This currencies are like how they equal bitcoin to a price in their physical money. For me, it is always like golds. Where you buy some for your investment and a price increase. The good thing about bitcoin is you can earn it through many types of work. Unlike gold where you have to mine it.

i think it will always depend on fiat , why would everyone hold their coins for an increase in price so that they can sell it and get fiat . so that is the fact.

that is the wrong thign to dow with bitcoin, because bitcoin it's also an instrumean for buying stuff, learn to use bitcoin directly without relying on fiat, and you will avoid dumping and depending on fiat

I do not think it will, in a few years the bitcoin will be a currency, I'm sure of it because the bitcoin is getting bigger everyday. I think the bitcoin is the future of all currency's.

As the title says, will it always be dependent on fiat currencies like €, $, ...? Because right now, you always convert before paying. So when you buy a TV, it costs 800$ so that means 1.8 BTC. And by that i dont see how can it become independant? It is just like gold, which cannot be used by itself.

So is my thinking true, or can the prices in the future be projected just through BTC; like you buy a TV and the price is 1.8 BTC. You buy bread, price 0.003 BTC .

I really dont know about these things so thats why i want to hear your knowledge on this.
its hard to answer what will bitcoin become,be like gold or money. i think ned more than 20 years for bitcoin to become independent payment,for now,let bitcoin depend to money.

Bitcoin will always need some kind of reference. And fiat and/or gold will be those references. How else can you estimate its value?

Yes that is right. Maybe someday it will be the one who will be used as a reference for other kind of currency, commodities and other stuff that will be used as a mean of trading. That will be cool its like hey "Gold is now 3 bitcoin."
