Quick Disclaimer: 1. I'm not here to support any shitcoin. 2. We're all gathered here because of bitcoin, so it's hard for me to see it fading way. Bitcoin was designed not be fully anonymous since transactions were open permanently for the public to view. Authorities and security agencies were able to trace the bitcoin owners based metadata and transaction pattern, history and so on. Some developers understand this issue and they go ahead to create some new altcoins which they are fully anonymous by implementing new hashing algorithms on their very new altcoins such as Dash, Monero, Zcash and Zcoin. So why the bitcoin "hard fork" instead of updating the original bitcoin core? Forked coins like BitcoinCash & BitcoinGold are moving from ASICs to GPU mining for faster transactions, why not BTC? Why not update bitcoin mining algorithm to Equihash (zk-snarks) like Zcash and the next upcoming Bitcoin Gold BTG? Instead of updating the original bitcoin core to have more secure and fast transactions with lower xt fee, yet making hard forks! I think hard forks will soon kill the original bitcoin. What do you think, huh? Share with us what you think. thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I agree with this because despite the hard forks the mother of all cryptocurrency has encountered, it will always survive and will always will. I can't see it gone in the next 10 years but i see its value to balloon over a million each. We may all gone but this long term cryptocurrency remains.

I don't think hard forks will ever be a threat. They're improved Bitcoins, to a degree, but being premined hurts them. Other altcoins are more of a threat, but I don't think the one that will eventually topple Bitcoins has been born yet. Ethereum can come close, but it has several issues of its own.
a hard fork that was supposed to be a threat to bitcoin users, is turning into an advantage. for example that happened in august, hard fork that makes bitcoin split in two, this even become the advantage of some parties, so I think only altcoin trigger the threat, because coin that is broke

With the current trend of bitcoin's price, I don't think it would not live to see 10 or 15 years. It has been here since then with low prices, why would it seize to exist now

Soon after this the growth started to progress in a large scale and the same could happen in the upcoming fork. So people who has the plans of investing into bitcoin its good to have patience and till the fork, the price might get dumped and will grow in a short.

Price doesn't say much about the real value and longevity of a product. For example a dollar used to have much greater value than now. It's been losing value due to inflation for over 100 years and it's still here, being used by people. Why could it disappear? One of the reasons would be lack of consensus between its users that would cause a 50/50 fork splitting the community in half. We'd have 2 coins and each of them would have half of the value before the split. This could allow a popular altcoin to beat it in value and market cap.

I don't like change. Why change something that is good? I am surprised by the position of those who rejoice fork. You do not understand the fact that every fork is bad. Who would trust a currency that has constantly divided and unpredictable price? Even if the price of bitcoin will grow after the fork it will be a blow to the image. With this approach, today you will earn 1 dollar and tomorrow will lose $ 5.

Even if their is hardfork it is not affecting Bitcoin because each hardfork is created a new altcoin is born and every one is getting freely to use and earn free bitcoin by selling it. Still bitcoin is used which is original and even altcoins are also not able take over Bitcoin because all altcoin are handled by developer and bitcoin is free to use.

You are right now matter how many forks would happen into bitcoin it cant really change the reality that people would really love to earn bitcoin than on those altcoin being created by that fork. They would still end up on selling those coins just to earn bitcoin same as you said which means interest and loyalty of people to bitcoin is high and irreplaceable.

10 years ago I never even dreamed of appearing bitcoin phenomenally and convincingly, we never know what will happen because there will always be the latest innovation from complex crypto algorithm. Digital currency trends will be very familiar for the next 10 years and bitcoin will get a serious challenge from e-money (Fiat). I can think that way because the government has started preparing the system seriously, for example japanese who issued J-coin for long-term projects.

Voted 'yes'. I presume Bitcoin will still be around in 10 years but probably won't be the leading coin in the world of cryptocurrencies anymore. It is getting outdated as you sort of mention in the OP and other, better performing altcoins are already emerging rapidly. BTC dominance in the total market capitalization is 49% nowadays, a huge drop compared to the 80 - 90% we've seen up until march this year.
I see it like this. Bitcoin will remain, overall, the most popular crypto but there will be alts created specifically for that business. Like that facebook tokens or steam money, all that could be replaced with an alt-coin. So bitcoin global, alts tweaked for smaller circles. Also, I don't think bitcoin will die out so easily if there's still more to mine.

Yes, I totally agree with you, hard forks are not a problems at all, because bitcoin is too powerful and people don't let the original cryptocurrency and go for the new one, They trust and believe on orignal bitcoin, So even the Bitcoin cash or Bitcoin gold that will relased in 25th october, I don't think that there is no problem at all for this hard fork, maybe there is some side effects to bitcoin price, but when we talk about the durability of this coins, there isn't no effect.

Is moving from ASICs to GPU even possible? If yes, why on earth are ASICs even allowed to flourish. I always thought that graduation to mining with ASICs was just due to difficulty issue and is bound to happen to any crypto. Wouldn't this lead to Centralization or was the whole thing done deliberately? Man,the crypto World is becoming too weird these days

It is quite impressive to see 81.6% of people voted "Yes". People are being optimistic about bitcoin. Well, I cannot blame them. I, myself, voted "Yes". Although bitcoin is facing many hardships, it is going to stand and live more than 10 years. There are people who said it would be outdated, but let us agree that it is making a strong success at the moment and I strongly believe that it will make a good progress in the future. It is just a matter of time. Every problem has a solution and every an unsolved problem has a flaw or a weakness. In the end, smart people will not let go of bitcoin that easily.

Well the percentage of the bitcoin in market capitalization has reduced due to few reasons. It doesn't mean that bitcoin is going down if it was going down then the price must have decreased. Price of bitcoin is increasing which mean that people still like it and demand for it. The number of alts has increased which shows the percentage of bitcoin as a reduced one but the truth is that bitcoin is still on top.

IMF super woman said something yesterday. She said bitcoin is going to give fiats and monetary policies a run. Technology advances daily and people, most especially in top positions are beginning to understand that bitcoin is the future and can't be stopped.
So, will bitcoin live to see the next 10 years. Oh Yes!
