Will bitcoin still be the preferred cryptocurrency after 10 years?

[Paashaas]

Yes, i dont going to underestimate the power of open-source, decentralised p2p ledger.

[safari88]

well.. no one will ever know the next 10 years. but bitcoin it is the first cryptocurrency, so I hope bitcoin will always dominate other cryptocurrency. and also the people have put a lot of confidence in the bitcoin, compared to other cryptocurrency.

[zimmah]

the first one to do something is not always the one who succeeds, in fact it often is not.

with bitcoin it might be different, but there's no way of knowing

if we already knew what would be the major currency in the next 10 years, that currency would skyrocket in price immediatly.

obviously no one knows, so it's anyones guess.

[ricardobs]

There are more supporters with bitcoin so bitcoin will be at first position, and none of the other account will be at first position, so even after 10 years everyone will prefer bitcoin and will use bitcoin for their online shopping etc.

Will bitcoin still be the preferred cryptocurrency after 10 years or will something better take over?

I think all other crypto currencies are much weaker in competition to bitcoin, so bitcoin will be No.1 for more period and I think it will continue to be No.1 for centuries and other currencies will have much lesser time period.

[gentlemand]

I think we're going to know before then. Anyone who comes out with 'too big to fail' is tripping their tits off. Similarly screaming 'Bitcoin killer' because a few thousand people are trading something they probably know nothing about is equally daffy.

To get beyond exchanges and into the hands of real people is what's going to decide it. Doesn't look like anything has touched the daddy yet.

Most likely. But I can't say with 100% that there won't be another digital currency coming very close to Bitcoin or even surpassing it at some point in the future. Nearly everything in the world gets replaced at some point.

you have to know that it is really hard to predict that in future, it is very hard to predict price after 10 years and so, nobody know that you you won't get correct answer

but personally i think that it probably will be main crypto, and i think because it is most expensive one, and many stores accepts bitcoin only not other coins, so i think it will be preferred

Replaced yes. You can say that about hardware, tools and physical items. But Bitcoin is a code - it can be upgraded, there is not need to ditch it and create something totally different.
All we need is code revision and bitcoin network will be as good as new.

All other cryptocurrencies are the copies of bitcoin and bitcoin is the first and real crypto currencies so all other crypto currencies will be behind the bitcoin for all the life and none of the crypto currency will have potential to lead .

[Xenoblate]

The bitcoin is the no. 1 cryptocurrency. It will still be the no 1 if the community still supports it and develop it.

[jt byte]

Something will succeed it by then.

I think I understand what you are trying to say.
The boom might be over just as the ill famed dot.com era like in the early 2000's.

[gerXhonza]

If bitcoin doesn't get any competition from any other currency and if its value is at higher level then people will continue to use bitcoin forever.

[mrhelpful]

Heres the way I see it.

Bitcoin used for the preferred currency yes.

Will there be side chains for micro stuff, yes. So I feel like bitcoin will stay as it is, and 1 major alt coin that will service all the side chains if possible for lesser confirmation times.

[Haswell]

I think that bitcoin will still be the preferred cc after 10 years.

[BitcoinPC]

Actually, as i understand your question, i have a 2 points in my mind,
1. If bitcoin continuously growing up and maintain its status than definitely, everyone use it and work with bitcoin and after 10 years, bitcoin would be gotten more popularity.
Secondly, if you wanna ask bitcoin still remain in a crypto currency or changed into other crypto or fiat currency?
Than my answer is No, because now many other crypto currency has come but still bitcoin has its own place, and also bitcoin has no need to change into fiat currency.   

[tiggytomb]

I believe so, I imagine it to grow to the level where it becomes the kind of gold of the Crypto world and we will have all manner of other alt coins being traded as they are now but more in the mainstream and even featured on the likes of MSNBC and Bloomberg.

[Fatanut]

There are times when it's better to ask the negative side so we can rephrase this to: "If bitcoin isn't the preferred cryptocurrency, then what is?" ETH? Dash? Zcash? I don't think so. Bitcoin will continuously grow together with all the other altcoins. Cryptocurrencies grow as one. They aren't competing against each other. The increase of popularity in one coin will also increase the popularity of bitcoin. I can't see a reason right now as to why our attention to bitcoin will be replaced by another one.
