Bitcoin in 19 years

[auzaar]

I see people debating Bitcoin is not useful, not user friendly and get distracted by price movement but think it this way, what it will be in 19 years.
Today 19 years ago Netscape Navigator 1.0 was released and we haven't yet released Bitcoin 1.0

I just hope Bitcoin will not have the same fate as Netscape.

I'd make 1000 bet that Bitcoin will not be around in 10 years. Something better will replace it.

I don't know if Bitcoin will be around in 10 years...but some form of cryptocurrency will be!  There probably will be other currencies that exist out there, and it can pay thanks to Bitcoin for that!

i'll make a 0.002 bet that Bitcoin WILL be around in 10 years.  BWAHAHA that's $250,000 in 2024 dollars

At least

I can only speculate but I believe Beibercoin will take top spot in 10 years

another decentralised currency will rule the world. Bitcoin is the first real decentralised currency but its not perfect and will be replaced at some point (but not in the near future)

Why does everyone think that BTC wont change with time? Every "doomsday" prophecy doe the same thing...they all think that BTC wll stay the way it is right now and will never ever change (chain will get too long, speed of transaction bla bla bla bla...it's like BTC will be frozen in time). Same here..it is not perfect and it will die....do you think that BTC will never be upgraded, fixed, changed?

Err maybe, to be fare all old software that died could have been upgraded but still died anyway.

Exactly !!!

the protocol can be updated, saying bitcoin isn't perfect and therefore will be replaced by another crypto is like saying http is not perfect and therefore will be replaced by a better internet protocol.

rather than putting the protocol in the garbage and replace it with something new, you can also just update the protocol, which is much more likely to happen because bitcoin is the only crypto that is (and will be) used in commerce.

Software that changes don't die, software that doesn't change dies. We agree with that.

I think that BTC WILL change, why do you think it WON'T?
Only because "some" software did not change and died, you think BTC wont change and will die? What kind of logic is that?

What about all that software that DID change and is still alive and kicking harder than ever? (linux anyone?) Why do you think BTC is not one of those?

Bitcoin is more like a protocol than software.  The internet used TCP/IP 20 years ago and it will 20 years from now.  It never got replaced with something different even though TCP/IP has plenty of flaws.

Bitcoin might not be around but other electronic currency will, paper money is doomed. If you can combine your wallet with a phone why carry both?

Not sure the version number of Bitcoin is particularly relevant ......... but anyone attempting to predict the future of Bitcoin in 19 years is a deluded fool, we have enough trouble trying to predict what will happen tomorrow.

Navigator went tits up btw 

[thesims]

Bitcoin should be replace by something more useful

bitecoins trend rose crash, Not ever say 19 years, even tommow that we don't know what happened? On the other hand, I am concerned about the trend of bitecoins daily on bitstamp & mtgox and lakebtc.com, Stage if no other factors, alone trading transactions, bitcoin is not a big price volatility.
