How long could bitcoin last?

[ecnalubma]

As of right now, the bitcoin price is expected to keep going up in the next 20 years. But can it last that long? I believe it's possible. But can't it crash at a random time? Like the price going down hard.

The only possible answer is nobody can tell, If we realize its current status it could last more years. Lets see what happen after the forking, a lot of possibilities will occur it could be an advantage or disadvantage.

Is bitcoin going to last long? Will it continue to rise?
It is difficult to predict accurately. The bitcoin that exists is highly dependent on us. Demand for supply and demand determines its viability. If at any time people stop buying and selling bitcoin series, surely the price of bitcoin will drop dramatically. This is the time when bitcoin will die

I think Bitcoin will be around for more than 30 to 40 years for sure and it will become extremely popular in coming 2 to 3 years. One can expect tremendous growth from Bitcoin and its price is expected to show a massive growth in 10 years.

I agree with you fully...
since it has been popular and accepted in recent years so that it can be assumed that Bitcoin will last long. day by day it is getting available at everywhere, many developed countries are considering it to allow as a legal currency, already Japan has declared as legal currency, South Korea also has taken it seriously to allow it... so the future of bitcoin is certain from my point of view...

i think it is depending on the interest of the people. bitcoin will remain tell people will have interest in it. and currently the interest of the people is increasing therefore the importance of bitcoin is also continuously increasing, i am hopeful that this trend will continue for a long time.

Now that bitcoin is being used and acknowledge by many people the interest of it will increase and there will be no reason for bitcoin to end. And as long as people are using it and spreading it to others it will be more known to public. And when the other countries legalized it and introduced it to the public that's the time people will know the advantages of it and bitcoin will continue to grow.

Bitcoin can go all the way high as long as many countries are going to adopt the bitcoin but I think as the cryptocurrency goes on these years the Etherum might surpass the bitcoin because it is more lot better than bitcoin in terms of platform. And yes, I am with Etherum too but for now majority of my funds is at the bitcoin.

I agree with you bitcoin will last forever up to a few dozen years, it will not be able to stop working abruptly because the current bitcoin is growing very strongly it may be recognized as a copper Legal money in the future.

Bitcoin is a working progress that is continuing to grow and spread by the cause of it's users. I can say that bitcoin will last until no one uses it. Because now it's current status is really great. Although the price is unpredictable people chooses to invest onto it because they know they will benefit from it and who knows, bitcoin surely will be successful in the future.

We can't say anything surely,  but in my opinion, it will last longer just like out real currency had been. The era of bitcoins will soon be known and will be our official currency in the future. And it is normal to have a down price, it is part of being successful.

Yes, future no one knows correctly. We can guess based on the uses of bitcoins. It looks still a lot of growth left in bitcoins and its prices can reach very high. But it will not go straight all the way to the sky. On time to time, it will correct and go slowly once its adoption increases worldwide.

How long could bitcoin last?
Maybe that same question about bitcoin in early birth (2010-..) but until now even all problem bitcoin keep solid as cryptocurrency and maybe become mainstream in future as long as supply and demand still alive.

I would like to quote what Satoshi said about post 20 years scenario, he says,

"I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."

Considering the current situation and the aspects like user base, people's perception about bitcoin and the market capital, I think the volume will be large after 20 years and bitcoin will definitely last much more than 20 years.

nobody know when will bitcoin last . as long as satoshi nakamoto not revealing himself maybe bitcoin will last forever because if you can just search it up satoshi nakamoto have a millions of bitcoins. if you converted it right now he can be the most riches people in whole earth and that will be the reason of the imbalance of the economy of earth.

[Hypnosis00]

Bitcoin doesn't have a fixed lifespan because it is all depends on the things that you can find in bitcoin like the support of the people and also the miners in the network. Bitcoin can last for a lifetime as long as there is support of the miners and users for bitcoin and if there is no support or even demand then bitcoin will just be bury in dumps.

As long there is demand and supply bitcoin would last. As people still use bitcoin it will exists, it is continously increasing its price. And I beleive it will be in the upcoming months and years.

Though it is expected to go up in the next 20 years (based from your OP), we can still experience some crash from time to time. Bitcoin is volatile and we are still uncertain about its exact tracks.

If you are asking if the price will continue to go up, forever, then we cannot say so but we are hoping so. Many have invested in Bitcoin and to go up is what we all hope for. But let us face the reality, in some point of time, we will see Bitcoin go down or even crash hard. We cannot guarantee the future and the only thing we can to is to hold whatever happens.

What do you expect? That someone will come to you and assure you that the bitcoin is a safe investment and will be around forever (or at least for the time of our lives) and its price will be always growing?
Bitcoin is not centrally controlled, you won't see a central bank or government fixing the price all the time.
That is why the price of BTC is so volatile, it is because dependent on investors, people tend to react hysterically and overreact a lot. Just stop worrying about it and simply enjoy the show.

The easiest way to answer it > we don't know how long bitcoin could last as we can't predict what will happen in the future. Even the most well known internet experts of the 90’s couldn’t predict exactly what the internet would become today and just how many different ways we use it, the same goes for bitcoin.
Do you know what Mr. Satoshi said?

In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes.  I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.

We will know in 12 years later after bitcoin fees reduced and miners need more bitcoin to run their mining farm, whether they will continue to support bitcoin community or leave it.

Block-chain technology is here to stay, What we've seen so far is only the tip of the ice berg. Technology will evolve though, there is no telling how long bitcoin will survive. But as long as it is the leading crypto currency, I'll keep investing.

yes that is right that no one know about the future, but our expectation make us more confident. in fact bitcoin is still becoming famous, which means that still people are interested to buy and hold bitcoin, the increasing demand of bitcoin is also increasing its price so we can predict that bitcoin will continue for  a long long time as it is still in its beginning stage.

yes I do agree with you that the supporters of bitcoin is increasing now everyone know bitcoin and do believe that bitcoin is the only currency that will last forever because bitcoin is increasing its value and demand every day.

[HeRetiK]

Short of catastrophic global events I'm pretty confident that Bitcoin is here to stay for a couple more decades. Question is whether it will stay relevant or return to a shadow existence in the weird corners of the internet.
