Predict what Bitcoin will be used for in the Year 2026

[streazight]

Thinking 10 years ahead is quite a large gap and there are many things that can happen at that time.
Thinking positively, I can see that all countries have adopted bitcoin as one of the official currencies of the world.

At worst case, an unfortunate event will happen and will cause a panic drop of support and bitcoin come crashing down to a point where no one would be using it anymore.

There can be:

• Bitcoin ATMs and credit/debit cards
• Bitcoin is accepted in restaurants
• Solar power and other natural sources of electricity are widely used for bitcoin mining
• Charities accept bitcoin as donation

the predictions are pretty good dude, I also agree if this prediction could come true. Because every need will be much easier to do with bitcoin and everyone can have a very good advantage when using bitcoin. So I wanted to see and feel yourself this happens

My predictions were actually 50% prediction and 50% dreaming 
I couldn't give any negative predictions.

I believe bitcoin will be used by most of the people in 2026, similar to today's world most of people uses ATM cards.

Shopping, paying bills and international fund transfer kind of all stuff can be made through bitcoin easily in upcoming years as all the people around the globe soon will realize the real advantages of adopting bitcoin ecosystem.

I am not sure what the Bitcoin is going to be used for in 2026 because it is impossible to know that,  we cannot look in to the future the only way we can find the answer behind this is to wait until  we are finally there to see it for our selves.

[HilbillyFred]

In the future the bitcoin will not used for paying methods like they are introducing right now by allot of companys the bitcoin will only
be popular in investments because the value of the bitcoin is to high to make it a paying method.

i can see bitcoin technology adopting and implementing some of the major altcoin unique  features.  I think they have adopted one of the feature of an altcoin now, without giving credits to the developer of that coin. ( the community of that coin shouts foul though).  Access of the general public will be much easier.  Lots of Bitcoin atm scatters around local places.  Merchants proudly adopting bitcoin.

It's a little bit annoying that another one of these threads are created like "What will happen to bitcoin in year xxxx"

By 2026, I think there will be more than 10,000 threads similar to this are created.
As for what will happen to bitcoins, I have completely no idea since looking at the timeline of what happened to bitcoins from the very beginning, it's only been more than 6 years and bitcoin has reached this much. Imagine what more in those 10 years.

In that age I hope that a number of governments will have accepted bitcoin as a legal currency in their countries and their banks will work with bitcoin, and banks will also have their wallets for their members.

No chance... Why would a government use bitcoin as a legal currency ? It's easier to fraud, they cannot control it (interest rates and inflation) they cannot take it by force. Bitcoin is a government currency worst nightmare. (Maybe in one of those libertarian states  )

[Cresciuanto]

2016 is too far about 10 years to go. but i can tell you and i am hopeful that in 2026 the bitcoin will be a legal currency of the world and there will be no concept of local currency. every one will use bitcoin as their first priority.

It will continue absorbing money from the fiat world like a black hole, and I would expect that by then the Lightning Netwokr is fully operative and we have surpassed all other payment systems in the planet combined, so we are doing trillions of transactions per second. Price should be anywhere from 100k to 1 million dollars a pop.

Shopping and paying bills using bitcoin is happening right now in our country already.
Transferring bitcoins from one wallet to another is an example of fund transfer, right?
Well, I'm just pertaining that it will likely be more than that in the near future.

at 2026 is bitcoin become a legal currency in a lot of countries is became a good news for bitcoin future. I really appreciate with this because from legalization of bitcoin can pull the popularity of bitcoin. I not sure if everyone using bitcoin as their first priority but all of this
need to adjust with their condition to using currency.

If bitcoin don't die till 2026 comes, at my opinion it will be used like common currency, maybe even in physical shops and in every online shops for sure.

[ShrykeZ]

There can be:

• Bitcoin ATMs and credit/debit cards
• Bitcoin is accepted in restaurants
• Solar power and other natural sources of electricity are widely used for bitcoin mining
• Charities accept bitcoin as donation

If wide scale adoption does take place I can see all of this happening.

of course it will be used by most of the people, in my opinion people will use it because it is decentralized and with bitcoin you will be able to buy literally everything you want

[Sled]

I believe that almost of the people around the world will start getting interested on bitcoin in the year of 2026 and majority of them will start implementing bitcoin to their life because we can see now that the bitcoin is starting to be notice by many people on the whether it's on the internet or not because of its high price increase.

[Enotche]

The authorities realize that it is impossible to deal with Bitcoin, and will mimic and adapt, to make the exchange Bitcoins for their money hastily creating certain "semi-anonymous" or even not at all anonymous services to people. It is possible that such services are gaining popularity among the part of the population that is interested in online shopping or hiking in the public recreation space, without worrying about the surveillance and tax agents that Bitcoin may even leave without pay

We already saw Steam approving of Transactions with Btc. i think its only a matter of some years until Big companies start to accept btc as a transaction option. So i believe most of the companies will allow those kind of transactions and it will be more commonly used in the future. and of course it will be legal again in some countries..

[btvGainer]

Bitcoin will be used for everything including paying wages and salaries.But mostly for online jobs
