2026, multiple halving will have occurred, the value will be relatively high, assuming the value doubles every halving and assuming we start from $630, Bitcoin will be valued at $2,520/Bitcoin, and more than likely the market and governments will be taking more interest in something with a roughly $30 billion market cap.
Bitcoin will still be used for what it is now, maybe smart contracts will be seen or confirmed through the blockchain, and maybe there will be more adoption or people getting involved, or maybe Bitcoin will be dead by then. I have no idea.
2,520 dollars per Bitcoin is shit nothing for a 10 year prediction. You are being victim of the so called "normalcy bias" where you cannot fathom increments in price that may be unrealistic for the people that can't really put things into perspective.
In 10 years block reward will be about 2.25 BTC

Also in 10 years World Economic Forum is predicting that 10% of world assets will be in blockchain:

So the only outcome is: By 2027 Bitcoin will be worth a lot more than 4 figures per coin.
