Where will crypto be in the future.

Where will crypto be in the future?
Of course, I don’t have a crystal ball, but for me Bitcoin -
with capital B, or the technology behind it: the blockchain
- will have a prosperous future.
Its importance goes far beyond bitcoin and payment
transactions as this is just one - and the most banal - of
its application.

I'd like to see it become the main currency used around the world.

Sounds like a fantasy, but personally a more united financial world is something I think would be good for us.

Crypto used as a main currency around the world,it's just a dream my friend.
it will never be like that,and even if it's really happen in the future i can not see anything good for us and other people obviously.
i mean not good for us not in a short term(because we're the crypto player will gain a lot of profit from it) but in a long term?,
just imagine it,if it's really used as a main currency for people around the world what will happen for those who's holding Bitcoin for more than 5% ?
doesn't that mean they'll be the another land lord? and what is the function of the goverment ?
they can make some small country for their own and they can decide it whatever they want to.

Individual cryptocurrencies will come and go. Some will succeed and reach heights than are difficult to imagine. Many will fail and be forgotten.

But blockchain, the technology behind them all, has an extremely bright fututre. I see it running the backend of much of the world's financial and supply chain ecosystems within a decade.

Lot of current crypto project will be dead sonnet or later. Now it is a big hype and everybody wants to make super-blockchain project that will change the world. There are scams as well only for raising money.

But still some will survive hope bitcoin will be in this list

crypto currencies have a bright future if miners are stuck with mining new blocks continously. Also the alt currencies are much dependent on bitcoins because almost all of the crypto currencies(other then bitcoin) are traded and exchanged by bitcoins mostly. So bitcoin will remain alive so all crypto currencies will be alive with prices pumps n dumps.

I agree with that. So many projects will fail, but you don't have revolution technology with a crazy mania phase where many of the new revolution rise and fall. The ones that survive become the google and amazons of the world.

I hope the recently regulatory challenges in China will not stifle crypto's growth

Asking this question on a bitcoin forum will get you biased replies. The replies might not be so bullish if you asked on an stock's forum for example.

There's a lot of really smart people working really hard on BTC to improve and make it work. However, in some ways it works against the desires of very powerful entities in the world that could try and stop BTC.

Also, maybe there are fundamental flaws in the nature of BTC that inhibit widespread adoption/utility.

Think critically and don't assume:
1. The value will always increase
2. The platform will automatically become better without hard work

In the future, Cryptocurrency will instead of papercurrency, you see the birth of a new digital currency everyday but only a few will survive in the next future. AS Ethereum that have Smart contracts will become currency of future

Well, the reality that we all know that this technology has been invented and it cannot be uninvented. All these Crypto Assets are here to stay. Many should also realize that the first adopters haven't even showed up yet, we haven't reached the first wave of people. What, where are we?

Less than 1% of the population in the United States and a couple hundred thousand in Venezuela, including a few thousand in China mean while Bitcoin's going up, correcting, and going up again. You guys have no idea how far this is going to go and nor do I, but it's going to be big. Watch a few Andreas Antonopoulos videos on youtube and you'll get an excellent idea on where all this is going.

I think in years to come crypto will completely transform into something else...

This is the million dollar question. You are right that it will change. Change itself is constant. The real question is where?? The internet was at one time really cutting edge and an escape of sorts. Now it is full of TBTF companies dominating it and  nations refecting their values on it.

I think the same will happen with Bitcoin. It will be reflected by each regions' culture. Look at China and its repressive halt. US and its love of KYC/AML data snooping and then you have the Venezuelas where Blockchain will help 3rd world citizens retain some value from the financial shocks that will come...and they will keep coming.

These are still the early stages of crypto. Most cryptos have rebounded after disastrous news/hacks, which is a positive sign for a bright future.

Crypto will be in every store used by every person like they use credit cards now

My hope is that crypto will completely replace fiat to the point where fiat is no longer relevant. I think cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications have the potential to create a whole new social order. It takes power away from a small amount of people benefitting off the current economic system, and it puts it into the hands of the people.

I know this sounds somewhat idealistic, but I believe it is possible.  I just think there may be some road blocks with scaling, and sometimes worry that scam ico's can make a bad name for the rest of crypto.

The potential is really limitless if we do it the right way and don't let legislation from governments stop the crypto movement!

If there is still money in power and being that this money is in few people's hands I don't see how it changes much in that aspect. It should even more focused than now at that.

It will experience its ups and downs over the next decade or so, but ultimately, crypto is here to stay.

That's true, as long as the crypto is supported by people it will continue to open its and keep on creating demands and will result an  increased in value. Also with the good support,platform will continue to evolved and innovate depending on the needs of the public and technology available.

Totally agree.  ICOs are where it's going.  Or rather what they're saying they will do is where it's going.  Applications that take over the world with blockchain tech behind them.
