There are a max of 21 million bitcoins. lets assume 5% of those are lost to forgotten addresses or other accidents. We now have 20 million coins. At a price of $1,000 per coin, that is 21 billion USD as a market cap. You cannot have a currency with such a low, irreversible cap. I do not see a future for BTC unless it rises to $100,000 per coin, which is unlikely
 Thoughts?

Bitcoin will never be  a mainstream worlwide currency.The governments and central banks won`t allow it.
Why do you think that the "low cap" is a problem?I don`t care about the btc price.
It`s not about the price,it`s about the unique transaction system and the unique concept.

1 BCT=100 million satoshi
21 million BCT= 2.1 quadtrillion satoshi
1 BCT=$1,000 per BCT
21 million BCT=$21 billion dollars
100 million satoshi=$1,000
2.1 quadtrillion satoshi=$21 billion dollars
You figure the rest.

That is a fine idea, the only way to make bitcoins unstoppable is to raise its value up to $100,000 dollars. With only $1000 at its current price there is a tendency that it will be affected by huge deflation but if it reach that high in value such deflation will not cause panic to bitcoin investors. The only way to strengthen bitcoin is to promote it more so we can reach a higher demand that can match up to that value.

How did you know that 21 billion USD as market cap is not enough for bitcoin to survive? Bitcoin might be affected by the market cap, but it will survive even if there's deflation in the market.

It is definitely not going to be $1,000 per coin forever and so we hope it will keep pumping  up as and when we need it to and so it will increase the market cap correspondingly.

Thats I want to say.They create Bitcoin for decentralization even a Bitcoin price is will up or down this is the sign that Bitcoin is popular and alive.

[alphaxgod]

i dont think that it will be doomed since the goverments and most banks wont allow it !

i can't see how there is a connection between the two things you mentioned, marketcap will grow when there will be more adoption, now bitcoin is not in the currency phase, it's in the speculation phase, when the former will be a reality you will have a greater marketcap that will allow bitcoin to be used as a currency

i think they can't stop it, because the bitcoin value is determinated by many country not a single one

[hase0278]

Even if banks and government are gonna try to stop bitcoin it is useless since it's price is determined by the whole world not them. Even if bitcoin were not to rise because I too don't see it as one that will really be used as a mainstream currency but rather as a method to pay someone online in the future, it will have such good prices even if the total supply of bitcoin in the future is only 20,000,000 BTC.

What do you mean by promoting it? I think many people already promote bitcoin everywhere and the fastest way is by gambling though. Because this affect your whole of bitcoin from transaction, being anonymous and make a new address. From the start till end you already got it just from gambling though. So what is bitcoin missing again? Good promoting with some payout is been done years ago and until now too

[Idrisu]

Bitcoin as a cryptocurrencies has it owned limitations and also advancement. The bitcoin market cap grow was shorting by ignorant promoter and scammers sites. We hope bitcoin should grow to the level were it will be accepted worldwide.if bitcoin's price get to $100000, good for bitcoinist pioneers but it will be difficult to get it and the elites will dominate it and if that happened, the nature of bitcoin as a decentralized currency will be undermined.

[U2]

Thoughts? What the fuck are you talking about!? If people lose their bitcoins yours are now worth more. Good for you, bad for them. The 20million or 21million is a number that will never change so in the future when bitcoin prices have levelled out then you can expect them to hold value rather than the value decreasing every single year. Google inflation.

[xSkylarx]

Well I don't know but for me it doesn't really seems to be doomed,
First of bitcoin was created for the anonymity of it's user and also to stop the 3rd party payment like what Paypal do,
And the price that keeps on changing is also a good sign that there are a lot of people that are using it and adopting to it.

Hello 2011.  

[adzino]

That is just another clear reason why bitcoin might be doomed. If government on every country starts to put a mass ban on bitcoin, the future of bitcoin i guess is totally over.

[DevelopFI]

This is the exact reason most of the community is involved in crypto. The hard limit means price of BTC will go to the moon as it gets more and more used by the public. And we always have smaller units like satoshi for ease of use.

[darkangel11]

You cannot have a currency with such a low, irreversible cap. I do not see a future for BTC unless it rises to $100,000 per coin, which is unlikely

Before bitcoin was invented it was thought that you can't have an independent currency, one that's not issued by a country.
I see a bright future for BTC, and it doesn't have to reach $100k to be recognizable and function as a currency. It will never be something like USD or Euro, because it can't be printed and devalued. It's a completely different thing from fiat.

This is one of the first few things I heard people talk about bitcoin. It can be divided into really small units that even with the price increasing people would still be able to use it, they just use ever smaller amounts of it. I see this most often with signature campaigns. Whenever there's a price hike then they just start paying less bits.

Well just a few days ago the central bank in my country released a statement that they recognize bitcoin as a legal mode of payment. Mind you this is still a rather underdeveloped country that relies on remittances from abroad. Other countries with similar circumstances could follow suit and should that happen then it'll probably become harder to get bitcoin completely banned globally.

[DocGTR]

If you can't see a future for bitcoin as of now then you are just wasting your time here. Bitcoin is still young to consider to make it to the top and as high as $100,000 per coin. And it's already an achievement to see bitcoin on $1,000. $21 billion market cap is not a joke and those investors sees future in bitcoin so they did invested.

Yes you are right. Values Bitcoin is becoming more and more every day. I am sure that this coin is just beginning to exist and has a great future
