Sorry to tell you, but for all those people asking "when Bitcoin is going to die" or "Bitcoin will be alive in 100 years?" or "will it be replaced by an alt?" need to realize that Bitcoin will have a lifespan longer than everyone in here combined. Bitcoin will keep evolving and adapting and going beyond all its struggles, and it will become the currency of the universe. Bitcoin will be the currency used in the first planet that we colonize to transact with us, and from there sky is the limit, it will spread across the universe as the human race spreads colonizing other planets. Bitcoin will be the de-facto trans-planetary currency, the universal mean of exchange thanks to it being based in math. We will find ways to launch nodes in space, we will find a way to connect everything into the same interplanetary economy. In the year 100.000, lots of humans will live in tons of different planets and we will have ways to send and receive Bitcoin from planet to planet across the galaxy.
We are the pioneers of the universal currency, so you should feel happy about that.

Haha. Interesting. I could picture it, sort of. It's still a long way to go. I wonder if the forum would still be up then, where people will chat across galaxies. lol.  Bitcoin does have the potential for this, only time will tell, sadly we won't even see how it ends up. |

Let's stay realistic, this is probably not going to happen. I can agree that Bitcoin is original , however Altcoins keep popping up from time to time , so unless Bitcoin start evolving , It's not going anywhere because Altcoins are getting more and more sophisticated. Let's take MaidSafe as an example , I'm not sure how Bitcoin could compete with it. If MaidSafe could indeed offer what they are claiming , Bitcoin won't have any place in the market.

we'll see. bitcoin today compared to the bitcoin of 2009 is very different so the one in 20 years is gonna be incomprehensible, let alone a century. there is a possibility that someone here will still be alive when the last bitcoin is mined in 2140 or so. let's hope they spend the last satoshis on a drink remembering everyone who made it possible.

Maidsafe the new decentralized internet they say ? Well didn't we had ethereum claiming a few months ago that they are giving us the way internet was intented to work and what happened ? A big hack which made a lot of people forget about them as I am speaking now. There will be not much different with Maidsafe coin, soon some hacker can hack it just like they did with eth and dao. Bitcoin so far is being maintained in a really good way and it's protected by the laws of universe. Bitcoin will be with us and altcoins cannot really compete with it. This sophistication you say maybe good but maybe also turning many people down as they are not as save techy. Bitcoin is the coin which any one can use, it's protected until now and not very difficult to understand, different from many altcoins which I am having a hard time understanding what they are for. |

Well, I'm totally cool with that. In fact I would hope bitcoin would live longer than whatever time I have left in this world. If not, then it'd be a complete waste of time. I and a lot of other people here are in it for the long haul.

If the original Backside walkaround can prove to me they are the old owner of this account, I can update the email address to the email address of their choosing.
Backside walkaround has lost access to their account as they used someone else's email address to sign up, and the owner of the email address got tired of random email notifications from this site after a few months and reset the password.

So what is the deepest point here? Well for me as long as bitcoin is giving me benefits today, that is the most important one. If you look in some deep analysis, bitcoin will prevail even for more years, decades and even centuries to come as long as there are strong community that will support this cryptocurrency. |

We are the pioneers of the universal currency, so you should feel happy about that.
1) It'll definitely be around as long as the blockchain, internet, and electricity exist. Actually, one question - since you can't see bitcoin or hold it, if no one uses it (Satoshi forbid!) can it really exist. To acknowledge it is to use it and if no one uses it would it not technically have disappeared? 2) Are we really the pioneers of a universal currency? It's no different from the dollar in its reach and we all still have to buy some bitcoin to have some bitcoin. We are pioneers of something though. |

Kind of depressing to think about it, but yeah, most of us will probably be dead before Bitcoin dies, and maybe a few people will be able to get lucky and live longer with some sort of enhanced life technology.
It's neat to think about either way, though, there is a lot that can happen still, and we're far from seeing the end of Bitcoin, more than likely.

Yes, so make sure that your relatives or whoever you want your bitcoins to go to after you die will be able to access them. You don't want to unexpectedly die or become brain dead from a car accident and not have included your bitcoins in your will or left a way for whoever you want to inherit your bitcoins to get them when you are gone.

Not if core kills it first. So are you going to kill every reader here before core/blockstream kills Bitcoin? Or are you going to stop core and safe Bitcoin? |

Death of hotmail, yahoo mail or rediff mail did not kill email. Email is pretty alive and kicking with gmail. Core may kill bitcoin core, NOT bitcoin. Bitcoin core is nothing but the most widely used node+wallet software at this moment. Bitcoin users will shift to better alternative software as soon as they are available. |

This is true if you consider the alts and future iterations of Bitcoin are all based on this one idea of a way to send value long distance without a trusted third party. The concept of Bitcoin probably is timeless. I don't expect the Bitcoin we are using today to be the digital currency people use 100 years from now any more than I think all of you are driving a Ford Model T. No invention worth a damn ever stops being developed.  |

OP, I sincerely hope that isn't the case!
I feel that the inevitable continued advancement in Computer Science will means that Bitcoin in it's current form will die out. Though another form of Bitocin should replace it.
The parts of Bitcoin exist in other digital currencies, so in a way, if an altcoin does do better, then that is part of Bitcoin (most coins use the same wallets and same installation files, just the name, algorithm and value that are different).

Well i do hope it will be happen, where i can pass all of my coin to my children and to my mychildren next generation, and i am sure bitcoin can last that long, if all of the user want to cooperate and using bitcoin for good things, it will be cool if we can transfer bitcoin between galaxy |

We dont know what might happen at bitcoin or any crypto on the next years, the bitfinex and mr gox they made the price of bitcoin going down, bitcoin has a great community and keeps growing. But say it will be forever or will stand after we die its not being full realistic, all things that born will die someday that nature of life.
