Bitcoin Future

[vnvizow]

Hey everyone,

I have just started college doing software development so am new to all this. I am just wondering why there are not more bitcoin related sites out there that are bitcoin related ? I always thought of bitcoin to be a well supported thing and when I look at crowdfunding sites or bitcoin lotto sites they are of very poor quality. Why has no one decided to take these further and build something the bitcoin community can be proud of ?

I realise there is a lot of scamming involved in the bitcoin world but surely a trusted person on here or within the community could build such sites ?

Also I am very excited about learning to code and would love any tips on how to improve. It would
be greatly appreciated so in the future I could be part of something special and develop a
project with other like minded people

Well one of the more active portion of the bitcoin community seems to be the darknet portion, explains the lack of sites on the normal web. But I wouldn't call it lacking though, since now you can buy stuff off amazon using bitcoin services

The OP is right. There are not so many sites or projects involving bitcoin. I am not telling its not there. Its there.But not that much. The only reason behind this is bitcoin is not that popular. Nowadays its getting more popular because of its price and more people started using bitcoins. And because of that in near future, we can expect more projects or sites based on bitcoin.

That's right. The projects which involve bitcoin mostly come from the crypto world and it's the kinda normal thing that bitcoin is involved but if you're looking for many projects which are outside this crypto world you'll rarely find some that are involving bitcoin or at least use bitcoin as crowdfunding payment method or any kind of these.
Unfortunately, people still prefer to use Paypal or credit card to invest onto many projects nowaday.

I think that's inevitable. Bitcoin still is not known to most people of the world, whatever we on this forum might think. I constantly encounter people who barely heard of it although they are not from the uneducated part of the population. But time will come and they will know. So, yeah, the future of Bitcoin is bright.

it is different in different countries though.
in some of them bitcoin is everywhere or at least seems like it from afar. for example in Switzerland you can buy bitcoin from any bus or train ticket station and even if you don't know what bitcoin is you at least have heard of it. and that is actually why the adoption rate is different in different countries too.

Bitcoin and more broadly the blockchain technology is absolutely the future of financial system. Many banks are preparing the revolution of this. In future years the banking system will undergo a revolution with blockchain.

Well I hope so else they are bound to be outdone by Bitcoin in the future. The banks should integrate Bitcoin and blockchain into their setting and help make it better rather than go against it.

Bitcoin future is very bright. just go through the figure of btc how well it has progressed, main reason is decentralized, crypto-currency, very secured and best profit on the investment. also the transaction charges on btc is very less comparatively to the banks. more people are joining now a days on btc which is a good sign for the better future.

I agree, many people see that the bitcoin has a bright future that is why they keep investing in it and buy and save it hoping that in the future they become wealthy from it, and that makes its price go even beyond what we have imagined 2 years earlier when the price was below $300 levels and now look at where it has come.

Op, I don't know if you searched correctly but we already have massive bitcoin powered gambling businesses.
Visit bitcointalk's gambling section to see how many project are present there. Unfortunately lottery is not that popular among bitcoin users.
They prefer different kind of games, for now Dice is the most popular bitcoin game.

The reason we don't have many bitcoin powered crowdfunding sites and existing ones are no popular is simple.
It is very hard to raise money in bitcoin, investors expect revenue from early stage cryptocurrency projects.
This already created an environment that is difficult to properly raise money for anything other than ICO.

Right now it is like you said, I agree, but in the fututre every country will be like Switzerland in regard to Bitcoin. Swiss government is just smarter than others today, that's all. I've also heard that The Netherlands and Denmark are Bitcoin-friendly, and probably some others. So it's just the matter of time IMO.
