[ismelda_ita]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Good point. As of now more and more users or investors are convinced to enter the cryto world, investinf into different coins, bitcoin to be precise. Therefore as of this moment it is just a start, just like in a troupe it is in the process of recruiting new members in able to be more powerful, it is what is going on in bitcoin, or cryptocurrency as of today.

there's a chance that it can become the mainstream in the next ten years. but the chance is small. we don't have any assurance that it will still famous in the past ten year because everything change. nothing and permanent and if there was coin that made and it will become attracted to the people I am sire bitcoin will gone for good.

yes, maybe we will not know how the fate of bitcoin in the future. it could be that a new coin that will replace bitcoin or bitcoin will not be replaced by any coins because the first decentralized cryptocurrency pioneer is bitcoin. and I'm sure bitcoin will be in great demand by everyone in the future

[babachon]

I guess so because some people proved or convinced that there are many investors or traders that bitcoin is the main use as their payment. So I have high confidence that bitcoin become mainstream in the next 10 years.

[elygil2022]

I pretty sure it will. A decade is more than enough for bitcoin to become mainstream. So excited for that day to come where cryptocurrency will be part of our everyday lives.

[aileenc]

I think there is a small chance that bitcoin can become the mainstream in the next ten years. Everything changes and if there was coin that is made, bitcoin will be gone for good.

[memyselfandi]

Yeah it is truly possible to happen that btc will become mainstream for the next following years. Because as we can see, as of now that is what btc are doing. It dominated the currency of every country around the world.

Well, if this would be the responds on that research then it is a good news for the people who wants to be part of BTC. This would be a positive impact to the economy.

Just about 10 years from 2009, cryptocurrency has known by many peoples and investors.
i think bitcoin will be used globally and mainstream no more than 10 years from now. Look how many ICOs was created.
Cryptocurrency providing a way to investing for any peoples.

[bitfocus]

Professor William Knottenbelt and Dr. Zeynep Gurguc seems very enthusiastic about it.

[nyong]

yes, if we look at bitcoin development now, in the future bitcoin can become mainstream
but that's not certain because we don't know what will happen in the future

[Gabteb]

I think and all countries understnad that and even China and India which are banning them better than others ,they do it just to have time to prepare to that nothing more.

[squatz1]

Well yeah, any study can say anything in order to help on side feel like they're going to get what they want. Don't beleive the bullshit and actually think for a second. Do you really think that world governments, multibillion-dollar banks, money transfer services, and so on and so forth are going to allow for Bitcoin (and the rest of Crypto) to go mainstream? Because if you do think this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

I do hope that this would happen, don't get me wrong. But I'm a realistic thinker, and I know that these groups aren't going to relinquish their control over what they have with ease. They're going to fight for it, and they're going to fight hard for it. I know it won't come easy at all.

I think and all countries understnad that and even China and India which are banning them better than others ,they do it just to have time to prepare to that nothing more.

They do this to crack down on something which they think is going to be a problem for their governments in the future -- that's not even a fraction of what they can do to screw crypto.

I don’t think so that can happen. Bitcoin becoming mainstream currency implies that it would replace fiat currency. But lets consider the current scenario Some people can never understand how this technology works or how to use it owing to illiteracy factors. The poor people can also not afford to use it as it needs a smartphone and above all there will also be some risk of suffering loss. Moreover Fiat bubble has been so well inculcated in every bit of our economy that it is certainly impossible to ignore this bubble. We need a huge market crash another one like the 2008 which could really open up the eyes of people and make them realize how bad can debt be.

[Herlina]

10 years is a long time I think Bitcoin can become mainstream in that time period, but I hope Bitcoin's future progress will enable faster transactions and lower fees so that stores are more interested in accepting Bitcoin as payment without worrying about price volatility and it could allow them to not rely on third-party services

I do not think so. My personal point of view still thinks Cryptocurrency is just a money transfer tool. That is all that Cryptocurrency has and they can not be considered fiat coins.
Low supply and instability are two factors that can not make it fiat money.

[aliusonjelly]

I think it will be  because majority of people are already earning their source of income from the bitcoin.  By this time 10yrs things could have fallen in pleasant places for bitcoin

[blueflag2018]

It is hoped that bitcoin will be more applied in actual transactions in the future.

Maybe next ten years it can be used widely, but i don't think we can guarantee bitcoin will be like that in future and maybe in future many great crypto currency created that can be rival bitcoin.

[pakhitheboss]

I am not sure whether Bitcoin can become mainstream in the next 10 years, But one thing I am sure about is Cryptocurrency will become mainstrean in the next 10 years. The mass acceptance of cryptos has already started, where some countries have already accepted it as one of their legal temders and some are in the process. People in general are now aware of their potential and what benefits they can offer. Slowly and gradually things are changing and for me that is a positive sign.

[Kittygalore]

In the time frame stated more probably it will be the mainstream, but we all know that as something goes on top, there are othrs wanted it to go down, in short more rivals will come and challenge how strong the bitcoin is. But who knows, bitcoin will remain at number one and be on top, even beat the fiat. All we can do is wait amd see, how bitcoin reigns in the next year.

[dupee419]

Possibly yes it can become mainstream in the next 10 years, its all about consistency, hence if the price drops at this kind of rate it would be tough for BTC to become mainstream, and I'm not even talking about BTC becoming the world's currency as it lacks on some aspects that I'm sure that it is not yet ready to go on and become the world's currency, but If we are talking about mainstream here then that I am sure BTC has the chance to become.

[mmocrypto]

I do not think it will takes place in a short time

[ruthbabe]

Yes, it is possible and I think it's earlier than 10 years. We know that Bitcoin has the potential to be a payment method as there were lots of ATMs installed worldwide. So, given the speed of adoption, I won't be surprised to see Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well, that is widely used for the coming decades, or maybe less than 10 years.

[resty]

Ya, it is possible because since we are now in a new generation technology no one can stop the widely operation of  cellphone and computers unless there is something bad happen to our mother Satellite which is USSR in outer space that has to be manage all the signals of our internet that is the last of bitcoin but if not, all good intention of bitcoin will continue until the next ten years.

[teterinal]

It will be. It was made to be a payment service. There is a good chance that this can happen in the next 10 years as more and more countries are adopting btc and companies All we can do is have patience and wait for the future.

[Abrefatotherescue]

Surely. And it depends on the technological advancements made in individual countries. For some it will be very soon. For others, 10 years is still too soon. But all in all, most of them will accept it as a form of payment

[goaldigger]

I guess bitcoin would become mainstream on the next two years because it is already established on other countries. If there will be something that becomes popular that time, that would be the altcoins. I still believe that useful coins deserve to have a spot on the future. Lets support them all.

[Qeupe]

Your prediction may happen if the positive trend of bitcoin continues to grow, by 2018 bitcoin investors begin to increase dramatically. although now there are still some countries that have not legalized bitcoin but that number continues to decrease.
Another 10 years will be the bitcoin year of glory in the global economy.

[riosakamoto]

more and more peoples are learning about bitcoin each day, they want a simple and safe way to obtain a stake, as such the number of cryptocurrency owners is expected to increase from 22 million to over 200 million by 2020 according to some studies, also the global population of digital buyers will surpass 2 billion people by 2020. Thus, a result bitcoin which is the leader of crypto has a high chance to get a mainstream adoption.

I think that bitcoin will work as a highly liquid asset for the accumulation and preservation of capital. A new mainstream may be a token of the standard ERC-721. Once in distant 2010-2012 no one thought that bitcoin could grow so much and people bought it only for enjoy of possess it. So, the new standard token 721 can refresh the desire of people to have something special, collectible.

Yep, some of the huge people behind crypto really said that Bitcoin may be huge in the coming long-run. But I will never lower my guard down since Bitcoin is somehow going down.

[Ahimoth]

Ofcourse, Bitcoin will be there in the mainstream for the next 10 years. Bitcoin is a great asset for diversification. It isn't real estate. It isn't the stock market. It isn't like most other assets you're likely invested in. It is variety. Have a look into Bitcoin (BTC) Growth Predictions and crypto currency price forecast based on Total Worldwide Money flowing into the cryptocurrency market.

As of now I think bitcoin is still in the process of making a name for itself. Glad that its users are doing their best to help bitcoin reach that point. We all know that if bitcoin gets popular then it will be a win-win situation for the system itself and the users. Sooner or later bitcoin will be able to get at that point.

Probably to get into mainstream is one of bitcoin's goal ever since it was created. It's starting to make a name for itself and it will be just a matter of time to reach that level. I know that the time will come for bitcoin to be at that point especially the system has the capability to do it. Bitcoin deserve to be at that position so sooner or later it will come.

[kramat]

of course this will be a dream of bitcoin bitcoin that makes bitcoin has reached its heyday then there will be a big thing that will happen to crypto and this will help when bitcoin in the future.

You would have done a better job if only you had included the source of this information there because by not referencing it, it amounts to plagiarism which is seriously frowned at on the forum that attract the highest form of punishment. https://cointelegraph.com/news/study-crypto-could-become-mainstream-means-of-payment-within-next-decade

That being said, its worthy to acknowledge the extent at bitcoin has gone since coming to existence about ten years ago which no one would have rightly predicted how mainstream it would have gotten ten years later. However, looking at the rate at which the popularity is going, it seems ten years would be short to achieve what was proposed by the research but beyond that, currency adoption goes beyond surveys, sample selections or what some people feels its going happen or what they expect to happen. The important and deciding factor is the people who are ready to push for that to happen and until a consensus is formed around that, I guess the same issue of recognition being talk about today will still be said in ten years from now.

Bitcoin has already become mainstream trendsetter in the hearts of so many people. And there are no second thoughts to this very thing that bitcoin will rule the market in the coming years. AS it is evident from the current highlights of the world that how so many countries are moving towards acceptance of bitcoin. It is this fame of the bitcoin that is taking over the world. Now the time is not too far when bitcoin will be seen as a universal phenomenon. Many economists and scholars, as you stated, are of the opinion that bitcoin is a REVOLUTION and will soon change how the entire system works.

[MilesTZv]

It is very possible that in the future there will be more young people using bitcoin, I believe that in the next 10 years bitcoin will become a mainstream way of payment, credit card payment will be significantly reduced.

Thats the reason and objective of satoshi nakamoto why he/she created this cryptocurrency the bitcoin is for this,to be use as currency worldwide ,and i believe were on the second stage of the system and third and final stage is soon to come.not just for decades but for the end of the world

[Zion060101]

Yes it could be the mainstream after 10 years, beacause many people around the world use bitcoin as alternative money and uses it. As for now it's already spreading around the world like a virus that keep on spreading, and years from now the new generation will be born and use bitcoin as the money of the world.

[Vanes_brz]

good thoughts! It will be great when it happens! I believe in bitcoin and its power)

[tonyosa]

I am sure there are enough basis for the research and the findings are understandable considering the rapid growth that is taking place across diverse field based on blockchain technology.It will take less than 10 years for bitcoin to gain wider acceptance.

[tonyosa]

I think it is very difficult to predict what kind of bitcoin will be like in the future. but did not close the possibility of bitcoin become mainstream, coupled with the number of other coins that appear

that may be true but the adoption of cryptoucrrencies is rising general.The various ICOs being conducted kind of add to the hype and create better awareness.It is interesting to note that courses related to cryptocurrencies are always over-subscribed in universities and jobs on related to cryptos are in high demand

[Heidim]

Well yeah, any study can say anything in order to help on side feel like they're going to get what they want. Don't beleive the bullshit and actually think for a second.

I totally agree with you. In my country where there is a lot of poverty people get government grants (and the elderly) that barely keeps them alive. They mostly receive it in their bank acc or can withdraw the cash at certain points like post office. Governments surely will never adopt crypto for things like this. Fiat will always be there. If you try to pay them with Bitcoin they will not even know what it is.

[petubtc]

I think there is a little chance. Maybe give it another 10 years or so. We can't know for sure let's just be postive and hope it will happen the soonest time

[dutchkay]

Many still argue that cryptocurrency is not a store of value and still have a long way to go. Bitcoin have already proven itself but i believe that some improvements are yet to be reached for it to be able to stand out on it's own. It can serve as a money but this i believe will be achieved in years. But i don't see it replacing fiat rather it will coexist along side of it.

[Jansaa]

About ten years more sure to change! Digital money is already perfect, the use of digital money has become commonplace!

[richkid3001]

Remember we are going into 2nd wave this year from 6k to 100k which will be bigger than last year.
Alts will also have a huge run over the next 2 months. After this year we will not make as much.

[sri11]

yes, I'm sure someday bitcoin will become mainstream and we know the first cyptocurrency is bitcoin, all who agree about it

[Singbatak]

Today's bitcoin talks on social media on t-v and on radios so it's a chance that in the future it will be the mainstream. Almost every day there are people who discover the bitcoin and invest in it. Over time It's a bitcoin available worldwide and it's one of the reasons for changing the way transactions. Accelerate it and make us free of charge.

[yusupjatigumilar]

in the next few years bitcoin may be a mainstream in financial transactions technology, where all transactions will use the same system with bitcoin, that is by using bitcoin, because in the blockchain technology used by bitcoin is very practical and efficient in conducting transactions without the existence of a home and time

[fileo]

I agree. The findings is reliable. Actually, we can see the widely adoption of cryptocurrency all over the world. It satisfied the users and more and more wanted to belong in this kind of digital form of money and transactions. It won't be surprising because the generation now is technology oriented.

[Al-e_x]

yes, I think the implementation of all bitcoin functions will have a high value in the future, because the function of bitcoin in the future will work perfectly, what are you waiting for tomorrow?

we do not realize that today Fiat is dying, they are losing popularity, people can already analyze that untill today fiat and every bank does not give them an advantage.

[joebrook]

Remember we are going into 2nd wave this year from 6k to 100k which will be bigger than last year.
Alts will also have a huge run over the next 2 months. After this year we will not make as much.

Your prediction is not feasible at all, Bitcoin though it has a place in the world is not going to jump from 6K to 100K. This is not something that's going to happen at all and even if it does, it is not going to take ten years, It's going to take more than that.

[Dukjila]

Ten years, this is a very long time, because for him a lot will change. By that time Bitcoin will be very slow, in relation to other currencies or something global will happen that will coordinate the attitude to the cryptocurrency.

[teklang01]

Yes I strongly believe so, it will become mainstream in the next decade to come. Here in my country, the government is about to license 10 cryptocurrency operators that would build thier company and it is a big sign that crypto is progressing.

[Tigorss]

Good point. As of now more and more users or investors are convinced to enter the cryto world, investinf into different coins, bitcoin to be precise. Therefore as of this moment it is just a start, just like in a troupe it is in the process of recruiting new members in able to be more powerful, it is what is going on in bitcoin, or cryptocurrency as of today.

there's a chance that it can become the mainstream in the next ten years. but the chance is small. we don't have any assurance that it will still famous in the past ten year because everything change. nothing and permanent and if there was coin that made and it will become attracted to the people I am sire bitcoin will gone for good.

yes, maybe we will not know how the fate of bitcoin in the future. it could be that a new coin that will replace bitcoin or bitcoin will not be replaced by any coins because the first decentralized cryptocurrency pioneer is bitcoin. and I'm sure bitcoin will be in great demand by everyone in the future

Bitcoin prices are still high. However, beware, another 10 years the price of cryptocurrency is expected to decrease in price because bitcoin is often associated with illegal transactions, and also used various kinds of illegal transactions.

[ashfakur]

may be but not sure !, because anybody not sure bitcoin future !, but now bitcoin is increasing day by day! I think bitcoin will be 60000 $ + in this year! In the next 10 years bitcoin will be launched in all countries!

[Kriptowolk]

In the near future Bitcoin is still gaining popularity. Yes, when it is legalized, it will be claimed along with Fiat money.
But I think that during this time there will be a more advanced crypto currency, which will take Bitcoin's place.

[triciaa478]

Ten years is even too far, I think five years time is OK for bitcoins to go mainstream as the best payment system. The zeal of which investors and average person seeking for bitcoins investment is enormous

[PokerStein1]

I think paper money is at the end of its life cycle , about 3-7 years Cryptocurrencies will be the number 1 way to pay for something.

[xbl1008]

we don't know what will happen tomorrow because bitcoin is unpredictable it may go mainstream next year or the next next year it depends on how will the market of bitcoin unfold but one thing is certain if bitcoin is introduce to all the people in the world it may change how we might handle our money and mode of payment it maybe just an alternative to cash but it has a different feature that fiat had not.

[UniQue7]

I'm pretty sure it's already established as a really big mainstream thing. Just that some countries don't except it.

[vonwd]

Bitcoin is the pioneer coin of this industry. At the beginning their price was very cheap but now its price is almost $6366. That’s why we can say after 10 years bitcoin will become more profitable and trustful site.

[Finestream]

Right.This may be a good sign that bitcoin has its big chances to become mainstream in the next 10 years.Although it's hard to predict what will happen in the future,but one thing for sure people will be more obliged to face the digital world so they can cope up with the  fast changing technologies.So it would be an advantage for bitcoin making it as a global currency since people nowaday are starting to depend more on virtual currencies and giving less importance to fiat currency.

Though it is tough to predict future but certainly bitcoin has the potential to be that. I hope in the next 10 years if it gets adopted by most then it certainly can be the main form of payment.

[anisoptera]

of course that it can, i even think that it will be a little bit sooner than that, maybe it will happen on the next five years if everything goes well and there aren't many regulations over bitcoin.
Just lets wait for that, because it all will be pretty stuning

[leostrong.mo]

The skyrocketing bitcoin can only indicate that demand for anonymous trading is strong. In the future, when it is large enough, there will be a force to counter it. It may be that many countries have joined forces to supervise BTC!
BTC will not disappear, but it is restricted by the system!

[Shenzou]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Well there is no doubt that the world is changing and people are constantly looking for new ways and new technologies to make our lives faster and better, and cryptocurrency is one of the technologies that will definitely push the world to the next era, however i think that a lot has to be made in terms of development and research in order to make it salable and a payment method that anyone in the world can use to send transaction instantly with minimum fees, because as we all saw what happened last year when bitcoin went viral the network was not able to handle the traffic and transactions were stuck for days and miner fees went to the roof.

I really really really agree with you mate that's the goal of the founder of bitcoin nakamoto satoshi bitcoin become most popukar currency use by the whole world as form of new digital money using blockchain and doubt there are many countries now learning and start to adopt bitcoin and ither country use bitcoin as payment in any transaction example  buying food in foodchain bitcoin can use it as payment.

[snaper14]

it is very nice to hear that such a research has been conducted and has take place in a country where education is really appreciated. I wonder if you could provide a link to the research or the article?

[kingkonjac]

I have seen an article posted in twitter that one day all the world will use a digital money. This was written around 20-40 years ago in a very well known economics magazine which now is supported by the research as well.

[pushups44]

Absolutely, cryptocurrency can go mainstream. The main ingredients needed are user-friendliness, scalability, and security. Once transacting in bitcoin is as easy as transacting in Visa, I believe people will pour into cryptocurrencies like never before.

[alwainter]

For sure it can, if price will be 50k+for year plus, then a lot of people will join bitcoin madness.

[marlouied04]

for sure. unless government will ban it. nevertheless, yes because it helps a lot of investors and in such time it will be in the mainstream and encourage more investors to invest on it.

[jonloner011]

There is a chance for it to become mainstream in the next 10 years. It won't be an usual sight though, given how much popular this market is and how much its demand is growing more and more with every passing day. Nevertheless, this will not hamper the market in any way.

[fiulpro]

I think I fully support this because.. when we think about it since 2009 there were so many instances where the price have dropped so much that people often said that it's now dead and banks and government are since the begining trying various underhanded methods to control it and make it work, well what I think is that , bitcoins more or less is already getting accepted by the government and other sectors there are places out there where you can pay through Bitcoins , you can eveen buy a coffee with this therefore we are seeing that people are accepting it and it will increase day by day and one day I think bitcoins will be able to pass this barrier and be used besides fiat.

maybe, there is a lot speculation about bitcoin, someone said it could be 60000 and 25000 and someone said bitcoin correction will be 100$ cause of regulation.

as long as bitcoin can maintain its image in the market it can be, and as long as the market recognized bitcoin it will happen but the main competitors of bitcoin is the projects that will be release in the market soon.

[cxmyifan16]

I m sure that btc will become the maintstream soon and it will be the best way to pay for things, and it will be possible to use it as the main currency instead of dollar. I am sure that this will happen soon

[connexus]

Bitcoin would be mainstream in the coming decades right now the acceptance of the people is the only need to be able to use it as payments in purchases etc.

[farnandezetn]

The position of bitcoin after ten years cannot be directly said. It is possible for it to become an alternative to fiat and will be used by most of the population. Or maybe it will only stay as a method of store value. But it is hoped for bitcoin or any alt coin to take the place of fiat as it will make monetary transaction way easier.

[DaveWave]

I believe that crypto currencies will become mainstream in the future, maybe 10 years later or even earlier. What I am not sure is bitcoin. More coins are launched and they continue coming. They are also trying to offer something much better than bitcoin. I think the competition is still unpredictable though bitcoin is the leading in market value but it is still too early to predict.

[Denies]

of course it can happen and potentially. but the fact for now, as for many of the latest innovations from the crypto industry but it does not make it as functional. obviously, there are many ico that offer ease service even for the innovation of his life. but the problem until now ico developers can not prove it happens

[gabmen]

There is a chance for it to become mainstream in the next 10 years. It won't be an usual sight though, given how much popular this market is and how much its demand is growing more and more with every passing day. Nevertheless, this will not hamper the market in any way.

I'm not even concerned if it can since i'm pretty confident that it will. 10 years is a long time and it may not even take that long before btc becomes mainstream and gets adopted by most country's governments.

[CryptoRaymond]

As the importance and popularity of the bitcoin is increasing day by day it can be said that in the next ten years the bitcoin could become a mainstream.

[DRVX]

I think I fully support this because.. when we think about it since 2009 there were so many instances where the price have dropped so much that people often said that it's now dead and banks and government are since the begining trying various underhanded methods to control it and make it work, well what I think is that , bitcoins more or less is already getting accepted by the government and other sectors there are places out there where you can pay through Bitcoins , you can eveen buy a coffee with this therefore we are seeing that people are accepting it and it will increase day by day and one day I think bitcoins will be able to pass this barrier and be used besides fiat.

BTC stands a good chance to become mainstream in next 5-10 years. Within next decade it will be legalized in many countries. Many companies and organisations will accept BTC for payment alongside with state currencies.

[Glydel1999]

Actually it is depends to the situation if bitcoin can become a mainstream in the next ten years
 because if they are in demand and have a good performance in this business then they can.

[ismelda_ita]

I think I fully support this because.. when we think about it since 2009 there were so many instances where the price have dropped so much that people often said that it's now dead and banks and government are since the begining trying various underhanded methods to control it and make it work, well what I think is that , bitcoins more or less is already getting accepted by the government and other sectors there are places out there where you can pay through Bitcoins , you can eveen buy a coffee with this therefore we are seeing that people are accepting it and it will increase day by day and one day I think bitcoins will be able to pass this barrier and be used besides fiat.

do you think it will happen? while some countries are banning bitcoins and cryptocurrencies?

[Gotumoot]

Maybe yes, maybe no. We cant determined it already, we just need to wait for that to happen. 10 years is a long time, there are many thing will come in crypto world, another coins will be created, the possibilities that bitcoin competitor will be one of them. Im glad the we see bitcoin greatness, i hope that bitcoin still with us in the future.

[Arifulislam1010]

Yes. I think it might happen because recently bitcoin has develpoed a lot and many coutries and companies has accepted it. So if its continiue like this than without any doubt bitcoin will become mainstream.

[zxcv cool]

It doesn't take 10 years. BTC should be the mainstream in 2020. The real upward trend of BTC has not yet appeared, so look forward to the rise of BTC.

[tutorroma]

If the lightning network can be pushed forward smoothly, bitcoin is likely to be widely adopted, and the current bitcoin payment is often delayed, and if the bitcoin can overcome this obstacle in the next 10 years then it is likely to become the mainstream payment.

[jmvzlfyg]

This is for sure. Now the encryption world is like the Internet decades ago, and there will be more large companies and individuals in the next 10 years.

[wtbhitlv]

There are many advantages in using bitcoin payment. I think many countries and banks are very clear about this trend, which will become a trend in the next 10 years.

[Spontebob]

Yeah it is truly possible to happen that btc will become mainstream for the next following years. Because as we can see, as of now that is what btc are doing. It dominated the currency of every country around the world.

Despite bitcoin’s unstable value, it will surely be mainstream not just in the next 10 years. Even when the riskiness has high possibility, people will take that as an opportunity. Who knows maybe more people will start investing tomorrow knowing that it is beneficial for them.

[viyumztf]

I don't think there will be a large number of industries using bitcoin in 10 years. Many companies will use blockchain technology.

[Flowerbiuq]

It depends on those big countries' recognition of bitcoin. If there is policy support, bitcoin has great potential for development.

[kirkarsedat]

I think it is very difficult to predict what kind of bitcoin will be like in the future. but did not close the possibility of bitcoin become mainstream, coupled with the number of other coins that appear

[mrcash02]

I don't think there will be a large number of industries using bitcoin in 10 years. Many companies will use blockchain technology.

That is a good possibility. Bitcoin in a decentralized way isn't interesting for governments and their friendly businessmen, but Blockchain technology is. To become mainstream isn't an easy task, you need the cooperation of the media, big investors, corporations, governments, mafias... And Bitcoin doesn't have support from any of those factions.

But these factions can invest their time and money in another Crypto-Currency, making use of Blockchain technology, until they have a new centralized mainstream currency.

[ogabonny]

Bitcoin is just about 8 years old and has been able to spur the growth of a whole new market,almost becoming a notable asset class.It will do much more even before 10 years

[lolland]

I think bitcoins will be someting everyone wants to have in the years to come, but i'm not sure if people will spend them or save them. When the Fiat money system brake down, new nationals goverments control crypto cut be the new mainstream.

[teamspike911]

Yes, I think it has all the chances. Already, a large number of people know what it is. So, if the Crypto-currency will develop, and most likely it will be, then this will automatically become the mainstream.

[Finestream]

Bitcoin is just about 8 years old and has been able to spur the growth of a whole new market,almost becoming a notable asset class.It will do much more even before 10 years

I agree.Bitcoin has still so much potentials to show and i'm sure that it will become mainstream in the next ten years especially that our world at the present is heading into a digital age.And having bitcoin would be a great advantage not just as a store of value,but also as a payment currency to make fast,convenient and accurate transactions.

[Hatuferu]

Yes, I think it has all the chances. Already, a large number of people know what it is. So, if the Crypto-currency will develop, and most likely it will be, then this will automatically become the mainstream.

Agree.The fact that a lot of people already from different countries have known cryptocurrency particularly bitcoin is already a big factor that will totally make bitcoin become mainstream after 10 years.And i know that by then,bitcoin will be more useful to more people knowing it will soon to replace fiat currency.

[777Jolami]

BTC, although the popularity of nhungw they are quite inadequate. In my opinion they will not be the main currency for the future world economy

[Dexion]

yes, you are right that bitcoin has the potential to dominate every market and every transaction in the future, today we see bitcoin used to store assets and also for some crypto trading.

spreading and bitcoin volume will make bitcoin acceptable to the public, but for large scale trades.

[shield132]

What I can't understand here is that how will bitcoin become major payment way in next 10 year? As you see, when price was nearly 20K, transactions got stucked and fees were skyrocketed. So from this we can say that current bitcoin isn't for massive use and if you remember, that's the reason why there was a fork of bitcoin and we got bitcoin cash. Not bitcoin but alts like ethereum has high chance of it or we have to change something in bitcoin as time goes.

[21millionsbtc]

in most of the European counties and Asian countries, bitcoin is coming up in the mainstream so in next 2 years we may see cryptocurrencies are in mainstream social acceptance

[banks38]

I believe BTC will continue growing exponentially for the foreseeable future.  BTC didn't just happen to spring up and grow this industry like this all grass roots and natural.  Big boys were behind it and they are planning on something more than a 300 billion market cap.

[DoublerHunter]

I don't think so because bitcoin is now having a lot of competitors in the market and that is a sign that the cryptocurrencies now are getting better and better than before and it means that the bitcoin might have some difficulties maintaining its rank because there is a lot of cryptocurrencies that could possibly surpass bitcoin in the next 10 years.

[zxl912157]

To become Mainstream in the coming year may be or not, because Bitcoin is a pioneer of Cryptocurrency and we can see if Bitcoin down then other Altcoins also come down the price, and if Bitcoin go up then other Altcoins also rose in price.

And Bitcoin in the coming year will not be as mainstream as possible when Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is known to those who dislike Bitcoin. LOL

[jeffer8035]

no doubt it will have that behavior but I think that as a reserve of value not as a fiat bitcoin I still do many studies there are still no well defined things all depends on the community where you want it and what you know is that the technology is very good and that is what makes people go to bitcoin confidence in the chain of blocks will always be going up and down that is inevitable but will see a time when it will rise a lot and will settle on that price for a long period in these moments it is seen that it is going upwards which is good

[inspirone1]

It is real for that period of time. But still it is long about 10 years, in year 5 or 3 years the popularity of Bitcoin will grow up very fast and the price will be better than now.

[arabellascott21]

It has a big chance to become mainstream. As we see there are more and more countries now that are trying to adopt bitcoin. Some other companies are also now accepting bitcoin as payment.

[mathew232]

I also think so, Because nowadays people are investing in cryptocurrency and may be after some years Bitcoin can become Mainstream .

Maybe next ten years it can be used widely, but i don't think we can guarantee bitcoin will be like that in future and maybe in future many great crypto currency created that can be rival bitcoin.

Possible yes because we are always promoting bitcoin to be more exploded and circulate until reach on top of what we desired to be great chances of users and holder ahead of non believers we can used two currency bitcoin and Fiat.

[aizen10]

how it will become? it is already the mainstream now, more and more experts are starting to study all about crypto currency, and i think after a decade from now, bitcoin will become more popular, and had a massive adoption on that time. i cant wait to see how more successful this bitcoin is.

[dekumidoriya]

Yes, it can become a mainstream since you are aiming for a decade which means a lot could happen and things might get really exciting for bitcoin, with a lot of future unknown twist and turns, my answer is still a hunch because bitcoin is showing an immense amount of unpredictability in the market.

[bhadz]

Bitcoin's on mainstream now and is publicly known as an asset, investment though it's main function as currency and payment has been covered by those still it's on the mainstream now.
We don't have to wait for 10 more years. No need for those type of studies because bitcoin and crypto's are mainly create to be a form of payment online.

[bitterdog]

Of course this could be happen in the future. Bitcoin already popular right now, and im sure will be more popular in the future, and become mainstream because there are many people used it.

all needs to be done if for the ease and goodness of this together can be realized because the role of everyone and the encouragement of everyone with the presence of smart people in this field

[bitfocus]

Yes, very possible.

There is a big chance that bitcoin/crypto currency be the main money to be use as form of payment. I think there are lot of investors/developers who are trying to use crypto currency of their own to pay bills, buy a merchandise, etc.. We just wait what would happen in the next decades maybe bitcoin will be accepted by all malls worldwide and in all local stores in different countries....

[charlemagne_15]

Well that is possible fo happen. In the next 10 years, many events could happen. We can't really tell but I hope it will come soon. As of now, I think bitcoin is mainstream now. The usage of it are keep on increasing and I guess that is a proof that bitcoin is in te stage of being a mainstream. All it gotta do is to have a more improvement and development. Also, keep on having a superb value in market.

[Mia Wallace]

Bitcoin is the first crypto currency started in the year 2009. It is a new form of economy which can operate electronically world wide .Bitcoins net work systems are found very strong and the bitcoins originator intention is to provide a strong currency to the global community for their day to day spending .Bitcoin has specific features which are very attractive to the global business people and the computer technocrat's. and hence the bitcoins popularity has wide spread world wide and bitcoin is found much suitable to use as a global currency and mostly all countries will accept bitcoin with in the next 10 years as a common currency all over the world.

[wtbhitlv]

Yes this is the trend in the future I believe there will be a lot of people on the phone to complete their first encrypted currency payment.

[gpamfmcq]

It doesn't take 10 years to become mainstream, and now young people in many developed countries are already using Bitcoin.

[TmottaDing]

Of course that it can, but it might take some time until we see a real mainstream adoption, maybe it will be a few more years or probably more than a decade, we all just need to be more patient if we are going to be holding for that such amount of time

[korkor]

Definitely, Cryptocurrency does have a high possibility of becoming a means for payment in some few decades to come. The world is gradually accepting the new revolution to the financial ecosystem, thus cryptocurrency.  Please, can you share the link to this research study?

In the near future, Bitcoin is still gaining popularity. Yes, when it will be on the same level as Fiat money. But I think that during this time there will be a more advanced cryptocurrency, which can take Bitcoin's place.

[inspirone1]

I think it is very difficult to predict what kind of bitcoin will be like in the future. but did not close the possibility of bitcoin become mainstream, coupled with the number of other coins that appear

I agree with you said it is very difficult, but I still believe that bitcoin will be the most popular cryptocurrency in the world in the next few years.

[RandyGamage]

That's one of my dreams in my life. Bitcoin to become mainstream in future. I hope It will happen but so sure whether it gonna happen in next 10 years.

[btcdevil]

No one can tell the correct time stream when it will become mainstream. It can become within 1 year and even it can take 20 yrs. The main reason is the all country government should come forward and accept it then only bitcoin can become the mainstream currency.

[shu_22]

This coin has got a great potential of becoming mainstream in next 10 years if you look at its past swings. In the last two months, Bitcoin has now reached a higher value which indicates the rate at which it is growing. Many governments are planning to go with this payment mode which increases the chances of it becoming big in the crypto field.

Well, it such a great news for us who have been entering crypto world. I think thats the initial goal of creating cryptocurrency. People want to make an alternative beside the fiat currency which can be more easy, fair, and free for them, and crypto seems to be the best choice for them in the future.

[pltgksl]

Btc is the most important cyrptocurrency now. But this may change because new crypto money is emerging every day. I think BTC is the biggest nominate to be best.

[justinstewart704]

Since the future cannot be foreseen it cannot be guessed right  but with a rule of thumb you can say.
from the past to today bitcoin value has risen so we can say the future is brilliant.

yes, there are lots of possibility that can happen 10 years from now it can be good but it can also bad, we cannot really tell what will gonna happen after 10 years but I am still hoping that bitcoin will still exist that time.

[newinquiry]

Ye bitcoin become mainstream in the next ten years because now everyone is trying to enter in cryptocurrency because they think its good for their future. reason behind it because bitcoin price achieved Its ATH of $20000 and crypto will be accepted by business and merchants in upcoming future also many countries government are planing to regulate bitcoin.

[thefatman82]

I think it is very difficult to predict if bitcoin will be like in the future. But did not close the possibility of bitcoin to become mainstream, coupled with the number of other coins that appear. Bitcoin is really very famous from others.

[looterrific]

Technically, Bitcoin is already a mainstream when it comes to medias and investors. Even students and minimum wage workers are hook to Bitcoin. But when it comes to payment, it's really hard for Bitcoin to fully become one because people treat it in a different way and not the way it is intended.

[karinaloren]

Though such issues are quite often very unpredictable, I believe that this idea sounds quite realistic. I think that it really may happen so, especially, we should take into consideration that today more nad more governments pay attention to cryprocurrency, blockchain and their potential.

[GeorgiyBilyk]

this is a very good research that the guys have done! Bitcoin and the whole crypto system has proved to the whole world about its impact on the global payment system! capitalization of the crypto market is constantly growing, I do not doubt that a new evolution has come and a new era of money! After the global legalization of the crypto market, bitcoin will gain even more popularity!

[biskitop]

even in the next 5 years, bitcoin will be used by more people. they are currently just not used to the rising bitcoin prices. after they understand that, and understand how to take profit from that volatile price, more people will use it.

[nikonova]

It can. Bitcoin hasbecome more widely used by now and more and more companies are trying to accept is as payment. In my opinion that a decade later bitcoin willsurely be mainstream.

[pinkliar]

It can. Bitcoin hasbecome more widely used by now and more and more companies are trying to accept is as payment. In my opinion that a decade later bitcoin willsurely be mainstream.

I am really sure that this will happen to the future ,for now there are some stores who accept bitcoin even though it is not really a knowm by many people ,whay more if all people know bitcoin?  For sure all stores will accept it.

[Missterio]

Bitcoin is already the leader in the world of crypto currency, I do not doubt that he can also become a leader in online calculations.

[KrakenZ]

I also agree with the research that this crypto currency has a very potential future. More and more days, more people will know crypto currency and curious with crypto currency. Once they know the benefits of crypto currency, I'm sure that they definitely decided to join this crypto currency. The more ahead there will be many people who put their trust in crypto currency. They are increasingly convinced of the benefits of this crypto currency. Moreover, crypto currency continues to innovate and facilitate its users so I am sure that crypto currency will be more loved.

[saruxanyan]

for 8 years bitcoin and the whole crypto system, attracted many eyes to the whole system! I'm sure that crypto coins are the future kings of all payment systems! many people are beginning to study this market more and more! In 10 years the crypto market will reach a large scale!

[leostrong.mo]

The cryptocurrency will become the mainstream payment method in the next decade!
As the king of cryptocurrency, BTC will become the universal cryptocurrency! Will become the preferred payment method for many transactions! BTC may become a reserve currency for many countries!

[freetokens]

bitcoin will be mainstream in next 3 years we don't need to wait for 10 years in next 3years we can expect change in merchant acceptance

[MacStone]

Why do you think that it can not happen? We all would love to see bitcoin becoming mainstream adopted, that is what we all have been looking in here since the beggining

[njmulhsn]

Bitcoin becoming mainstream in next ten years can be a possibility but that would need a lot of legislation to be carried out by the governments. So far we have so many countries that have refused / banned bitcoin / crypto currency. I don't think making it mainstream would be possible without the respective government's cooperation and implementation.

[GeorgiyBilyk]

now bitcoin is becoming one of the most popular payment systems! they are very well exchanged anonymously! bitcoin is starting to conquer new markets! just in a few years, the capitalization of bitcoin has grown many times! I think that bitcoin is waiting for a great future in the information world and in the world of finance!

[drachman]

The chances of that are high but for that we need faster confirmations and cheaper fees, in other words we need the LN to work as promised and I have hope that will be the case, once that problem is solved forever bitcoin will be unstoppable and people all over the world will begin to see the benefits of using bitcoin over using fiat and will decide in mass to use bitcoin instead of fiat.

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

10 years is a reasonable amount of time to expect Bitcoin to go mainstream. With all of the big companies adopting blockchain and accepting Bitcoin as payment and the recent World Cup promoting Bitcoin are signs that cryptocurrency is slowly creeping its way up into a wider scene. A lot has happened for the past almost 10 years. Who knows what will happen for another 10?! Great things I hope!.

I absolutely think that bitcoin can really go mainstream and for me it's not a matter of if rather a matter of when. This is gonna be the future, wether some people like it or not.

Maybe next ten years it can be used widely, but i don't think we can guarantee bitcoin will be like that in future and maybe in future many great crypto currency created that can be rival bitcoin.

Yes, maybe bitcoin will be in the mainstream but due to technology and the fast rising of cryptocurrencies, maybe also some other crypto will be on the mainstream. That’s our MAYBE. If you are in bitcoin that maybe is for you if you are in other crypto the other maybe is for you. If you are in both maybe you are sucure. If you are not in bitcoin and crypto maybe you are lost. Maybe its better to join now.

maybe it will happen in the future, we will never know because for now it has not run according to the actual bitcoin function. I think there are many chances from the latest innovations in the future, but most people would prefer to make assets rather than spend them unless bitcoins have a stable value, but that's not possible.

[necessaryyou]

Why not ? just think about their promising future, i believe that bitcoin will become mainstream in the next 10 years

[developno1]

With the development of decentralized technology, I hope that it will come true

[rexona]

yes, in the next 10 years bitcoin can become mainstream, because it is a long time, the world of technology must be far more developed and can make bitcoin into the mainstream, I hope in the next 10 years bitcoin transactions can be faster and the cost is not too big, making stores or hotels are more interested in accepting bitcoin as a payment instrument.

[takesomethingaway]

Decentralized technology is the underpinning technology of bitcoin. It's becoming more and more popular now. To become mainstream, It is not impossible

[thinkabout]

I always support Bitcoin and its action. Beside that, I often make some understanding about the market and personally, i think it will occur in near future

[Crystal24]

The world is fast moving towards digital age,.so yes.
Its very possible for bitcoin to go mainstream by next  10 years .

[stefy77]

From here to 10 years of sure bitcoin will be super-evaluated. On this I have no doubts. Lucky who managed to buy it long ago.

[patrickj]

I trust that digital forms of money will progress toward becoming standard later on, perhaps 10 years after the fact or considerably prior. What I don't know is bitcoin. More coins are propelled and they keep coming. They are additionally attempting to offer something much superior to bitcoin. I think the opposition is as yet erratic however bitcoin is the main in showcase esteem yet it is still too soon to anticipate.

[bitbunnny]

I don't think that Bitcoin will become mainstream.
It's true that the concept of digital money will further develope and take more considerable part in economy but still I don't see Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency as a mainstream although I expect to be stronger and more accepted than now.
Fiat currencies will keep the domination and crypto will continue with struggle for their positive in traditional finances, that is how I see it.

[Bitfling]

I think it could happen in next 10 years. I am believe in next 10 years, most peoples in the world connected with internet and peoples doing transaction and any activity using internet. Cryptocurrency will make every transaction thru internet more easier and more safer.

[stasiulman]

I do not think that bitcoin will find its use as an active payment resource, for example, in online stores and other services. Most likely as a "currency" it will not be used. But as an asset, when forming a financial portfolio, it will definitely get popularization. If don't face any barriers to this, for example, a ban or something like this.

Yes, I am thinking that this is quite possible because bitcoin is hyping right now quite good, is the current state of things will be continued I think in the years bitcoin would be definitely a mainstream, everybody would be speaking about that.

I wasn't aware of any major institutional research on cryptocurrency and its quite nice to see it happening. BTC can become mainstream as its customer base is more or less there. I know that several universities throughout the world do have a blockchain division, which basically goes to show that if the academics think it's worth looking into, then we're onto something. Great research leads to great innovations, so we can expect to see some of those soon enough.

[ankurguta87]

Big banks are taking notice too. Goldman Sachs (GS) has said it will begin futures trading in bitcoin contracts, a move that should ultimately be good for bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies that rely on blockchain.

Volatility may decrease, which isn't great for traders and speculators, but the involvement of Goldman Sachs and other big Wall Street firms is good for the long-term. Bitcoin is down this time, But it still may be the future of money.

I think that Bitcoin is already becoming something like that, because everybody around are being interested in cryptocurrency, investings, bounty, ICO, trading, mining and etc. it is already a trend, lol.

Yes, I am thinking that this is quite possible because bitcoin is hyping right now quite good, is the current state of things will be continued I think in the years bitcoin would be definitely a mainstream, everybody would be speaking about that.

I think so too. I’m confident bitcoin or any strong cryptocurrency will go mainstream in the future. But in 10 years, I’m not so sure. Bitcoin is still on its way to become a digital currency and needs a number of improvements to get there in terms of transactions fees and speed. Bitcoin will become a currency when these issues are addressed, along with the price stability, making it suitable for everyday purchases. And society has to actually use it so it can be more than just a store of value, but commodity money as well, correct?

[tanjiran]

A study undoubtedly goes through many complicated processes with systematic and accurate analysis. Well, I'm also very interested in the conclusion. In fact, these conclusions begin to feel when bitcoin prices go up fantastically by the end of 2017. The news about bitcoin is increasingly highlighted, so many people are starting to know and are interested in learning bitcoin.

[agatha90]

For the future, cryptocurrency will be used by many big companies as well as online trading, because seen from year to year more and more companies are able to use bitcoin as a means of payment.

[micmunish]

Yes! It may or may not be..
Mostly depends upon the big business men. How much they take seriously of crypto. If they take too much serious. Then it can become the main currency..

[Johnzky]

If this adaption continues from the companies accepting bitcoin as payments like BMW and soon is Samsung and many others to mention i think this will be an eye opener for the blocking countries to start evaluating and researching about the benefits and the value of cryptocurrency to their people because if does then in just couple of years to five years cryptocurrency specially bitcoin will go mainstream and will be used worldwide

[Webberson]

Most people that want bitcoin to die, can still not phantom the reason why the digital currency is still in existence despite all the negativity revolving round it. It can therefore be said, that bitcoin has the potential of becoming known and accepted by the general public, in future.

if you see from what you convey I think all could happen because we all can not know with certain future how, if evolving with the development of the times and technology all can happen

[stefy77]

I believe that in 10 years bitcoin will be held and offered to customers by banks too. I don't think that in a short time bitcoin can enter the smarphone of all people.

[CainCoin]

It looks like it has nearly become mainstream, or, at least, is about to. Beyond any doubt, we'll witness this great time when in order to pay for something you'll need just phone with a wallet, about a second to verify the transaction, and a tine fee you'll never have to worry about.

[Rooster101]

Bitcoin popularity is gradually spreading throughout the world and is now enjoying increased interest from new investors. Bitcoin might face many hurdles or challenges before going into mainstreams and some of them are difficult to overcome. These issues that preventing bitcoin going into mainstream are high transaction fees, transaction scaling problems, distorted public image, among others. Bitcoin should address these problems first to be able to go into mainstream or mass adoption.

[Beehives]

BTC is already in the maintream.  For the  next 10yrs BTC could be take over some of the buying power of fiat. Better to hold a BTC for future use.
BTC soon will be more desirable currency.

[mkhadazz]

yes of course bitcoin can be very mainstream and very popular in the future with the next 10 years distance I'm sure bitcoin will be more difficult to obtain and bitcoin will be more expensive because the demand of bitcoin will be higher which will eventually trigger the increase of bitcoin price.

[indayburakday012]

Yeah as i have seen some good updates on the system and that part of it is that most of the countries are now accepting and embraced the use of cryptocurrency but of course it being monitored and control by the government. This is why i do think that in the next 10 years bitcoin could be in mainstream for the new technology.

Yes everything is possible to happen in the next 10 years it can be positive and sometimes it can be negative, so let's all hope that the bitcoin will be more popular and will have good value in the future.

[bananaohnana]

You have a very  Good point. As of now more and more users or investors are convinced to enter the cryto world, investinf into different coins, bitcoin to be precise. Therefore as of this moment it is just a start, just like in a troupe it is in the process of recruiting new members in able to be more powerful, it is what is going on in bitcoin, or cryptocurrency as of today.

[BitcoinLoan]

For the future, cryptocurrency will be used by many big companies as well as online trading, because seen from year to year more and more companies are able to use bitcoin as a means of payment.

Having a larger user base opens up more and better business opportunities, increases the demand for Bitcoins - and, by extension, their price.There is virtually no disagreement about the fact that Bitcoin would eventually go mainstream and that it would be a great thing.

Bitcoin as a fashion tendency, huh? I think it is not only possible, it is already going through our world, young people in my area are thinking that cryptocurrency is something tough and you need to have knowledge in that sphere to be relevant.

[Jonnitor]

BITCOIN has a big potential and success in the next 10 years. Maybe bitcoin will be legalize and can be use as a main currencies in making transaction online. I think bitcoin will be a great to every people in the future.

[aray80]

That might happen ... but not for some countries whose government still prohibits to make bitcoin as cryptocurrency, because it will hamper every form of transaction with bitcoin ...

[noorammak]

The Crypto market is currently unstable and not in its orbit, but in the next 10 years if the BTC decides its true value and keeps it at the most stable level it will be the official currency to use widely. cobble. And to overcome the barrier is the government. I believe that this will happen BTC will prove its worth.

[BryanRoseWalker]

no need to wait 10 years later, big turbulence will occur after 2020, where many governments take into account the exclusivity factor of the bitcoin nominal scarcity. many people here will open their minds about the real decentralization of the currency, and if necessary there will be turmoil from the whole society that is aware of it.

Bitcoin will make changes from the side of digital currency as it proves to be more transparent and filled with competent people.

[player1001101001]

That might happen ... but not for some countries whose government still prohibits to make bitcoin as cryptocurrency, because it will hamper every form of transaction with bitcoin ...

Yes, I agree with your opinion. I think this gonna be happen after or within In 10 years. But there are many countries are exist which are not supporting the cryptocurrency and they are consistently taking massive actions against it.

[befriendmywater]

I do not think that will happen. In my opinion, instability will not be overestimated in payments. Because if your store's revenue is $ 100k today. Suddenly the market went down, and your revenue was down to $ 60k. It is not something that can be worse and it makes the finances of the business become tangled.

[Ilegendph]

there's a chance that it can become the mainstream in the next ten years. but the chance is small. we don't have any assurance that it will still famous in the past ten year because everything change. nothing and permanent and if there was coin that made and it will become attracted to the people I am sire bitcoin will gone for good.

Well at least once in human history, it well tell the next generation that we could trust each other without the aid of the third party such as banks and other financial intuitions. That we could be really financially free, free from banks expensive services. And also we could do transparent transactions to avoid corruptions specially in government institutions where corruption is all over the hierarchy.

[jovs]

Well yeah, any study can say anything in order to help on side feel like they're going to get what they want. Don't beleive the bullshit and actually think for a second. Do you really think that world governments, multibillion-dollar banks, money transfer services, and so on and so forth are going to allow for Bitcoin (and the rest of Crypto) to go mainstream? Because if you do think this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

I do hope that this would happen, don't get me wrong. But I'm a realistic thinker, and I know that these groups aren't going to relinquish their control over what they have with ease. They're going to fight for it, and they're going to fight hard for it. I know it won't come easy at all.

I think and all countries understnad that and even China and India which are banning them better than others ,they do it just to have time to prepare to that nothing more.

They do this to crack down on something which they think is going to be a problem for their governments in the future -- that's not even a fraction of what they can do to screw crypto.

I don’t think so that can happen. Bitcoin becoming mainstream currency implies that it would replace fiat currency. But lets consider the current scenario Some people can never understand how this technology works or how to use it owing to illiteracy factors. The poor people can also not afford to use it as it needs a smartphone and above all there will also be some risk of suffering loss. Moreover Fiat bubble has been so well inculcated in every bit of our economy that it is certainly impossible to ignore this bubble. We need a huge market crash another one like the 2008 which could really open up the eyes of people and make them realize how bad can debt be.

But bitcoin as a form of cryptocurrency make it possible to achieve being the future currency on transaction and investment. Why? because of the development it could take all through out the year it may come. It is not just about the way people would accept bitcoin but how bitcoin would develop and improve its system within the given support of people and different form of businesses in the market of cryptocurrency together with the improvement of blockchain systems.

[Macon Bargeman]

 I see the replacement of Bitcoin as inevitable.
 The current market price is a reflection of BTC adopters who aren’t using the coin for anything but trading. Investors are inflating the price and a lot of common men and women are jumping on board seeing this as an opportunity to invest in the future of banking and wealth management. What I see happening with BTC when researching their internal politics, the state of the blockchain, and the upcoming proposals of hard-forks, soft-forks, and forced-forks, I’m not just betting on BTC crashing. I’m anticipating the evaporation of the crypto-giant entirely.

[skibikipapa69]

I think it all depends if bitcoin becomes widely accepted by many people and countries. Popularity is one key factor to be considered when talking about becoming mainstream. The more people using and buying bitcoin the more we are closer to our dreams of bitcoin becoming mainstream.

[Zhess Miller]

 Dislodging Bitcoin is a difficult task but not unachievable. However, currencies like Dogecoin or Litecoin will never be up to the task since they are fundamentally no different from their parent Bitcoin. Only the highly innovative currencies with unique features will be able to take on Bitcoin in the future. Ripple, NXT and CryptoNote are the three technologies that took different path and are thought of as true alternatives to Bitcoin.
I personally think that anonymous transactions feature that is so ingeniously implemented in CryptoNote coins will get in the spotlight in the nearest future. And the most likely candidate to showcase the CN tech is Bytecoin (BCN).

[Raiden0729]

We don't realize what will happen tomorrow on the grounds that bitcoin is flighty it might go standard one year from now or the following one year from now it relies upon in what manner will the market of bitcoin unfurl yet one thing is sure if bitcoin is acquaint with every one of the general population on the planet it might change how we may deal with our cash and method of installment it perhaps only a contrasting option to money yet it has an alternate element that fiat had not.

[Rojer1928]

if in my mind it will happen because most people have obtained their source of income from the field of BITCOIN.
Currently BITCOIN has great potential and success in the next 10 years. Maybe bitcoin will be legalized and can be used as the primary currency in conducting online transactions. and if I think bitcoin will be good for everyone in the future

It's like with veganism nowadays. Doing it only for the sake of fashion is not exactly the great purpose, but it still helps to save the animals and spread the world. Same with btc

[BossRoss89]

I'm pretty sure it can. It definitely must. Look at all the money pumped into the technology! Will they let it just vanish? Don't think so.

[FedorIzmailov]

again I repeat bitcoin itself as a means of payment, I do not see it in the future, I see it as a means for accumulating my money, namely, other cryptovalutes will be the payment medium, this is my opinion

[inv_ker]

Of course that is one the possibilities we should expect in the future. But if bitcoin is seeing itself like that in the future, it should really step-up now and make the crowd roar in happiness.

[brukva]

Bitcoin has a good chance of becoming a world digital currency.

[blockchain09]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

It is very likely to happen unless a new currency has been devised by the government in the future and it is more widespread. Personally I think Bitcoin can only be represent for cryptocurrency because its value is at least a few thousand dollars, which is very annoying if you have 1 Bitcoin and want to buy a couple of snacks. Not because because you do not want your 1 Bitcoin to be 0.999999 Bitcoin, but also you don't know whether you pay more than the amount of the item you bought because the value of Bitcoin is so massive to keep track on.

[Papapat22]

Everything about bitcoin regarding that matter is still uncertain beforehand. Though there's a chance it can be widely used but it doesn't seems totally realistic if the basis was 10 years from now.

[Ghypatt]

I perfectly agree with their findings and I know several others do as well. Btc has firmly gained grounds to disrupt our current financial transactions across the globe. I believe with time, it will definitely reached the mainstream.

[FO4R]

definately bitcoin will become a mainstream in the next 10 years because bitcoin is becoming well known cryptocurrency which i think many people will be knowledgeable on how to manage these crypto.Bitcoin also offers a variety of innovative solutions that address every people's need which is likely more eligible to use in different transactions via a blockchain or even to a different nodes.

[meerkatoken]

Short answer is yes. The factors impacting the rate of Bitcoin adoption can be roughly divided into three groups: technological, utilitarian and psychological.

The technological barrier is the transaction number limit. Second layer solutions are about to fix this as of writing.
Utility problems will be solved by individual cryptocurrency payment suppliers or lets say paypal addig BTC feature. Also credit card manufacturers have to be involved. This is also inevidabel because buying crypto is too complicated for a totally new user. Especially if this user is a 50 year old merchant who has a restaurant and can make the best meal but doesnt even use a computer on a daily basis.
Unfortunately the Psychological barrier can only be passed by global legislation frameworks. That is hard but will happen within 10 years.

[hoosen]

It is real for that period of time. But still it is long about 10 years, in year 5 or 3 years the popularity of Bitcoin will grow up very fast and the price will be better than now.

I agree with you because 10 years is a big period of time. Every day more and more people are joined to Bitcoin. So we must think about the polarity of Bitcoin. It doesn't need to be a mainstream.

[Sword555]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come.

I don't think it can be mainstream in our life because still more people don't want invest in Bitcoin. But if Bitoin creat new opportunities in daily life for everyone, I think more and more people will join to it.

[bob_rushford]

Crypto makes the payment system hassle free. Its easier to carry them, a new form of currency i suppose. Might be mainstream in less than 5 years or so.

Well we really do hope so. The fact that Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies has helped us with our transactions much secure and easier is just one of the reasons why many people will use cryptocurrencies just like the currencies we usually use.

No one can say the future...But we can say the usage of bitcoins will increase which is a positive sign for becoming the main stream...But now comes about the government...No idea whats going on in the mind of the government...May be they can ban bitcoin...And if they do then it cant be the main stream..

[Oliver2]

It should not take 10 years, and BTC should become mainstream within 5 years. At present, the real society's demand for gold is already very large, and BTC can replace some gold in the Internet area.

[baconlike]

Never before can the BTC become the world's common currency, even though the BTC is still around for years, because using BTC is not suitable for some people and if you are not tech savvy you will not be able to. Use and Secure BTC

Yes, I'm sure that bitcoin will become the main payment form, and perhaps the only one. The only thing is very difficult to predict when exactly this will happen. The countries of the world are very different in terms of technological development. I mean, even now there are places on the planet where there is no internet. Every day their are less and less, of course.
Most importantly, the more people learn about crypto currencies and blockchain technology and will understand all the advantages of using it for different purposes, the sooner we will move to a new level.

[trangoccho]

That is a good possibility. Bitcoin in a decentralized way isn't interesting for governments and their friendly businessmen, but Blockchain technology is. To become mainstream isn't an easy task, you need the cooperation of the media, big investors, corporations, governments, mafias... And Bitcoin doesn't have support from any of those factions.

[harley.kitty]

Currently there are many governments that prohibit transactions using bitcoin, there is even a government that prohibits bitcoin for any purpose. But most existing governments are only neutral by not allowing bitcoin transactions and allowing them as commodities. I think they are waiting for the progress of bitcoin and also the decisions taken from the governments of other countries.

Because we all know bitcoin has the potential to replace a currency with its various advantages. I think 10 years is enough time to make bitcoin acceptable to a wider audience even though bad news remains a problem in the progress of bitcoin

[princeyeboah]

It is very possible for Bitcoin to hit a global patronage within the next 10 years considering its exponential growth in attracting new users and investors every day. People are getting to know its concept and the benefits it can offer them.

[frey_oh]

Because as we can see, from now on that's what BTC does. It dominates the currencies of every country in the world. Yes, there is a possibility that BTC will become mainstream for the following years.

[deppil]

Everything about bitcoin regarding that matter is still uncertain beforehand. Though there's a chance it can be widely used but it doesn't seems totally realistic if the basis was 10 years from now.

maybe yes maybe no. because we don't know how many total bitcoin users actually are today. bitcoin has been in existence for nine years and the total marketcap reaches hundreds of billions dollars. maybe when the next 10 years can be 2 times or more. lets wait and see

[Liaalif]

yes, I believe bitcoin can be something that is mainstream for the next 10 years, we can see from the last year that bitcoin may be said to have pointed out the mainstream

[iotarocket]

Of course bitcoin can become mainstream within the next ten years. Unlike many fiat currencies in the world, bitcoin is stable in terms of its inflation, with mining being halved every four years. I wouldn't be shocked if central banks were already starting to hoard it.

[yndye]

Everything about bitcoin regarding that matter is still uncertain beforehand. Though there's a chance it can be widely used but it doesn't seems totally realistic if the basis was 10 years from now.

maybe yes maybe no. because we don't know how many total bitcoin users actually are today. bitcoin has been in existence for nine years and the total marketcap reaches hundreds of billions dollars. maybe when the next 10 years can be 2 times or more. lets wait and see

There is a possibility for it to become mainstream. The number of crypto users are growing day by day and if we consider the growth in terms of price then it would be able to attract more users when its price shoot up. We can only count on the people who remained faithful to it though when the price went down for us to see if they are really in it for the long term. As the price becomes stable, more people and businesses would consider adopting it and it would be the key for it to become mainstream.

[drachman]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

It is very likely to happen unless a new currency has been devised by the government in the future and it is more widespread. Personally I think Bitcoin can only be represent for cryptocurrency because its value is at least a few thousand dollars, which is very annoying if you have 1 Bitcoin and want to buy a couple of snacks. Not because because you do not want your 1 Bitcoin to be 0.999999 Bitcoin, but also you don't know whether you pay more than the amount of the item you bought because the value of Bitcoin is so massive to keep track on.

What you say does not make sense, you do not have to send 1 bitcoin and then get change, you can send exactly what you need to send in order to pay for products and services something that is not always possible to do with cash, this is why bitcoin can be divided up to 100 million satoshis and if for some reason bitcoin became so valuable that we needed an even greater level of divisibility then the developers can change that.

[millgates]

I dont think so, its impossible to achieve it only in 10 years, even only few people in my city who know about bitcoin, I have told about bitcoin mu friends but they don't believe it so I think it will not easily achieved in next 10 years.

[Sadlife]

Maybe that future is possible because in the current events bitcoin is already popular to investors and merchants even tech and commerce companies are heavily invested in it. No one can predict the future but it is possible for bitcoin to become mainstream with it's growing adoption and fundementals.

[Ollie1]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Yes it is possible, although it has a small chance. People will see cryptocurrencies values skyrocketing every hour. The futute seems bright and people will have many opportunities in  investing in crypto.

[hastag_80]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Actually this is the mean legacy of cryptocurrency,thats to become the mainstream of cashless society,and bitcoin is the mainsource of all crypto,otherwise ,these study conducted some researchers at imperial london is only a part of survey and they only said thats its have a big potential,to become the form of payment,because in the reality  there's so many barrier before its happen to become a main source of currency and one of them is the  implementation of the regulation of the world government.

[fafnir_8nt]

i hear somewhere that there are shops accepting bitcoin as payment but only for delivery, its a bit overpriced but it shows how bitcoin has the potential to become a legit currency in the future, besides it actually has different monetary values worldwide so it is not far from impossible.

[tranquyen123456]

I absolutely believe in that. Revolution 4.0 has come and all industries are changing, financials and currencies are no exception. The old face and payment methods are outdated. Bitcoin or Crypto is the new future

[Anish02]

I think it will happen because the world is developing so faster. Nowadays in many countries peoples making good use of bitcoin to making payments or taking place of transactions. Bitcoin has the ability to become mainstream in the next ten year.

[MaryClark12]

In the next ten years, bitcoin will no longer be preferred. There will be a new coin developed, on the more advanced technology. They can change the bitcoin user's habits. Maybe its value will be highest in the history of cryptocurrency.

[Aleth]

Since we are now towards digital or cryto currency where money evolution moves towards it. Then it will not be impossible that Bitcoin become the mainstream in the Next 10 years or so, since it has the highest value in the market of coin cap.

[LeoHonek]

I have high confidence that BTC become mainstream in next 10 Years but we can't guess what will happen  in the future there has been most developed in the past few years many ICOs has been created and many investors has invested in BTC
Just we must have some patiences for the future BTC

[hujgubgfgs]

In the next 10 years, I think BTC will become a money can buy in stores. I just hope that everyone in the world can learn about BTC to help the world can use BTC more widely.

[Zidanetribal]

10 years might be impossible but i think 100 years later then yes, bitcoin will become mainstream as all over the world. They will use bitcoin as an exchange value and fiat currency will no longer exist.

[Sahmoly]

yes,ofcours Bitcoin become mainstream in the next 10 years. Bitcoin is not so popular in the next 7,8 months, because Bitcoin did not work more people, so many people work now that Bitcoin is popular at all and it is a pleasure to have love and good. So we can say bitcoin become mainstream in the next 10 years.

[Malam90]

Obviously cryptocurrency will become as a method of payment in the upcoiming days and Bitcoin will lead the system as now it ti leading from 2009.

[Sumo]

Bitcoin will really be very convenient to use as a payment. It is convenient for both domestic and international payments. It will be even more convenient to use bitcoin when traveling, when you do not need to be puzzled by currency exchange.

[Nakakapagpabagabag]

I have high confidence that BTC become mainstream in next 10 Years but we can't guess what will happen  in the future there has been most developed in the past few years many ICOs has been created and many investors has invested in BTC
Just we must have some patiences for the future BTC

We cannot determine what will be the future of bitcoin, maybe its bright and maybe its not. Because there are many more thing that will happen in that long time. We know that bitcoin is created through technology, and as what i see is that technology is upgrading, as the technology upgrades, many more opportunites will come, and many possibilities will come, just like bitcoin future is bright or not.

[stely]

Obviously cryptocurrency will become as a method of payment in the upcoiming days and Bitcoin will lead the system as now it ti leading from 2009.

Crypto,Bitcoin, blockchain and triple entry accounting are probably the most important invention of the last 500 years so they’re not going down. It is more likely to be Bitcoin become mainstream In the next 10 years.

[leavolnhals]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Wow, this may be a good news because bitcoin has made a tremendous profit for investors. And in the next 10 years, I hope bitcoin will be accepted and used extensively in many places. We will use bitcoin to buy food, buy things, buy a house, even in some places with bitcoin dispensers and bitcoin stores.

[fattyforhire]

The adoption of bitcoin as one of the main currencies will be a new step in the development of the world. Our global financial system will be transformed beyond recognition. And I think it will come in the next 5-7 years.

[Pyr3x]

It is already partially recognized, because every day more and more people invest in it, bitcoin ATMs are already appearing. Very soon bitcoin will be a full-fledged world currency, I am sure.

[Dswaggers]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Well, if this would be the responds on that research then it is a good news for the people who wants to be part of BTC. This would be a positive impact to the economy.

Yes no doubt bitcoin can become mainstream in the next 10 years I can confident say this because as what I know now bitcoin still doing very well in crypto market and still In top spot in cryptocurrency.

[icecream sandwich]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come.

I do not have the rights to tell that the bitcoins cannot go to the mainstream especially the time span that you have mentioned is 10 years and a lot of things can happen in that ten years so there are a lot of possibilities that the bitcoins can made it to the top and a lot of people qill support that bitcoins and they will make thar happen into the mainstream to know the people much more.

[Kuchiyose]

The adoption of bitcoin as one of the main currencies will be a new step in the development of the world. Our global financial system will be transformed beyond recognition. And I think it will come in the next 5-7 years.

But, there is still a lot that Bitcoin has to go through to be better and one is received in all countries. It will be a big driver to be better.

[drachman]

I dont think so, its impossible to achieve it only in 10 years, even only few people in my city who know about bitcoin, I have told about bitcoin mu friends but they don't believe it so I think it will not easily achieved in next 10 years.

It will take a lot more time than that, you are correct in that but at the same time the first decade in the life of bitcoin was a way to let the world know that something new has arrived, the next decade is going to be one of expansion but we are still going to struggle with adoption, I really think that the beginning of the third decade of bitcoin is going to be the one where we will see major adoption.

[1NV3ST0NM3]

I don’t think so cryptocurrencies can ever become mainstream currency. It can never replace fiat currency. Yes, some people can use it for making payments but it would not eliminate fiat. I know cryptocurrencies have a lot of potential but there still many loopholes and unexploited flaws that prevent it from becoming mainstream currency. Cryptocurrencies will survive along with fiat in the long-term.

[phanquan5111994]

Yes!!!
I do not think it's 10 years !!!
For the next few years, I'm sure that electronic money will become a form of payment all over the world !!!
As early as 5 years !!!

[alexgreen2018]

Yes it surely will. Once more and more people get to know about bitcoin, we will see many new use cases being developed for bitcoin.

[Veterock]

I would like it to be true, but I'm very worried that bitcoin may not live the next 10 years

[Dasha88fed]

It is already partially recognized, because every day more and more people invest in it, bitcoin ATMs are already appearing. Very soon bitcoin will be a full-fledged world currency, I am sure.

I also believe that Bitcoin will necessarily be a full currency. All the facts show that Bitcoin is developing much faster than before. Several ATM Bitcoin appeared in my city in a few months, and a few months later the same ATM Bitcoin appeared in two neighboring cities, many people started to be interested in cryptocurrencies, it's great.

[kit_finance]

If in the first 10 years of its existence Bitcoin has reached from scratch, what is now, then in another 10 years It can become the main means of payment.

[Harz58]

Judging from how things are moving there is every possibility that Bitcoin will become mainstream in the coming years. If Bitcoin can rise phenomenally as it has done in its first decade of existence and gain the attention of a lot if people then it will achieve the feat of going mainstream in a short period of time. The trend shows that most people are awakening to the wonders of cryptos. This could be seen by some electronics and mobile devices manufacturers incorporating crypto structures in their products

[buterinnews]

Since the crypto currency is not backed up by anything,it can not become the main one but it can be used as a means of payment all over the world Yes!

[airdnasxela]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Although we do not have any assurance,  I think bitcoin can be the mainstream in the next ten years or in the next decade. When the bitcoin was invented and and was released way back, only a very few people have known it and uses it. We do not even expect how it upside so much that it reaches its record that make investors crazy and immediately investing to it. I think time is only needed for it to be a mainstream. Maybe when its value increase again and hit again the roof, I think people will act crazy again and directly increasing the popularity of bitcoin.

[ovbokhan]

I believe bitcoin will become mainstream as an investment tool even in less time, I however doubt if it will ever be common place to use bitcoin in daily transactions, it will be too valuable for for that, there are other cheaper coins that can do that even more effectively

[codegnome]

I really want to be that. Bitcoin will be really good form to pay on the internet and finally we will see "new currency", which can looks really nice.

[Phlaser]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Yes I know it can go mainstream as soon as it passed through all the hurdles surrounding it at the current moment. Imagine what would happen when SEC approves ETF? More institutional funds will surely get pumped in alongside more investors.

[Akpuv]

Bitcoin still has a lot to do if it is to become a mainstream currency in the next ten years. Although, this is very much possible, but the current challenges with bitcoin need to be overcome first. Bothering on wallets hacking, delay or clogging of transactions sometimes, etc.

[codamon]

Level says that Soon we will witness a big shift in adoption of blockchain technology. Awareness will turn into engagement, the institutional investors will arrive, Exchange Traded Funds will be established. The ground for it is already prepared: CME and CBOE have recently launched bitcoin futures trading. In addition, processes of "nationalization" of crypto-currencies are already being launched, news about initiatives to launch the state-run crypt currency or ICO are coming from all around the world, from Venezuela to Estonia.

[salink]

Such time may be enough or sooner, the development of bitcoin in recent years developed extremely fast. I think about 5 years is the time of crypto payment is the mainstream

[smt_red]

Bitcoin - gold among the Crypto-currency. Bitcoin is the first and most reliable of all crypto.  80 % altcoins will leave the market 

[tokilaka]

In the past two months, Bitcoin has reached a higher value for its growth rate. I am also very interested in the conclusion. In fact, these conclusions start to feel as bitcoin prices go up dramatically by the end of 2017.

[drachman]

Such time may be enough or sooner, the development of bitcoin in recent years developed extremely fast. I think about 5 years is the time of crypto payment is the mainstream

This is not only about the development of bitcoin, this is also about its adoption, and even right now the amount of people using bitcoin is simply too low, but that is bound to change, but you must understand that it is a complex process that takes a lot of time, just look at cell phones today, they have been around since the eighties and it was not until the first decade of the new millennium when they became really popular.

[kucritt]

i dont think so but i think it will make changes in the next 10 years later, and we all hope that this happen. so if we want to make bitcoin is more popular than now i think we should use and tell people that bitcoin is good and have the many benefit if we use it

[WebTera]

I think that cryptocurrency and bitcoin should become the main financial instrument in the next 10 years. This is our future, as cryptocurrency opens up completely new opportunities for us.

[Elerntta]

No one can name the exact timing of the full implementation of the cryptocurrency in our lives and the world device, but it will gain popularity and trust of people every year, every month, every day. Bitcoin has excellent prospects and this technology will be used, you will see.

[crypto_futurer]

I also think that Bitcoin is very much evolving in the near future and will very soon be the main asset for daily payments, which will be used by most people.

[boltz]

The chances for this to actually come true are very high in my opinion. Previous bull run of bitcoin was in times were bitcoin has achieved a mainstream but it was not even close at it's fully potential so this will make things even more interesting.

[Raggie]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

We still cannot predict what will happening in front of us. In cryptocurrency, everything seems unpredictable. Did you predict that bitcoin price will become this high ? I guess no. So, whether bitcoin become mainstream or not, i still have no clue about it. But for now, most peoples know about bitcoin in my country.

[mojo2208]

Basic crypto currency? Bitcoin and now the main currency, this can not be argued. In the future, nothing will change

[ProstoCrypta]

No. Old financial institutions will not give up their positions so easily. The Fiat a few centuries, and even millennia. Bitcoin is still too unstable. People will prefer to keep the status.

[bjmpoker001]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Becoming mainstream in the future maybe requiring some huge adoption of the usage of bitcoin.
for now, not all peoples using bitcoin as a currency to buying or selling things. But if in the next years many peoples using btc and crypto as a currency
to buy or sell anything, then btc and altcoin will became mainstream.

[ParveZ219]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

No currency is the mainstream all over the world like in India Rupees is the mainstream and in USA dollar is the mainstream but Bitcoin can become the common currency between all the countries... and already almost everyone is using Bitcoin now a days so we can consider that Bitcoin has become already the mainstream and the common currency all over the world except the countries where Bitcoin is banned.

[romarry]

Yes, I think, Bitcoin will become mainstream in the coming decades. However, Bitcoin still has to overcome some obstacles to be accepted globally and adopted as a payment instrument.

[BitcoinPanther]

I think it will take less than 10 years, bitcoin is set to be mainstream in the next few years alone.

In fact, the move to have an approved bitcoin etf was one of the expected investing instrument that will put bitcoin itself in the mainstream. ywe are seeing a continual disapproval, consider them as delays only and not denials. So the chances of having a bitcoin etf approved remains very high. In fact, many crypto experts are banking on the possibility that the first regulated bitcoin etf will hit the market by february 2019 at the most.

So we are expected to witness bitcoin be mainstream very very soon.

[Azura.Nguyen]

Technically, Bitcoin is already a mainstream when it comes to medias and investors. Even students and minimum wage workers are hook to Bitcoin. But when it comes to payment, it's really hard for Bitcoin to fully become one because people treat it in a different way and not the way it is intended.

[maloibtc]

In my opinion, it is better to buy btc now and hold it for a year or so, i think that in the next 10 years it will become more powrful and will be used instead of the main currency as long as possible

[bitcoindusts]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

As of the moment, cryptocurrency had already started to prove its worth as a system of payment and it satisfies many.

And i'd say the researchers back at Imperial College London is on track. And with news left and right of government's concern and may other people pushing bitcoin to be recognized as a store of value, i think we can expect bitcoin to be mainstream in less than 10 years into the future.

The only thing we would be needing is for the government to back bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as a recognized currency. What compromises cryptocurrency has to be made is unclear, but definitely there will be some major changes in the founding ideals when this happens.

[satosibtc1000]

According to my bitcoin has already become mainstream last year and everyone knows about it. If growth will again all be surprising the popularity to him will return.

[Linhkej]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

I think this could happen in developed countries in the next 10 years. Where the economy is strong and diverse business goods. This is also where high living standards. Bitcoin shows its convenience in saving time as well as safety, accuracy when performing transactions. This is a great fit for the future.

[MelonMusk]

The more attention and investment towards BTC, especially from traditional financial industries such as Nasdaq, can likely ensure BTC becomes as mainstream as any other investment vehicle.

[jtrapirap]

I strongly believe Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrency will somehow fully replaced fiat money as the main currency more or less 10 years from now. As we have noticed recently, few known and popular personalities has positive outlook regarding cryptocurrency in the future. Thus, it is better to invest now while the market is yet at bear season and possibly earn potential profit in the years to come. Blockchain technology has been continously developed day by day to fully meet the needs of the investors and may somehow solve the current issues and flaws of the technology itself.

[Masongrae]

Yes it can! As bitcoin remains on top and develops well, it will become the mainstream and it will be of great help to many by then. Looking forward that it will indeed happen for the good of many.

[zuziekatee]

i think this duration is a test of time for it to at least maximize its goals and capacity.  To me i think its somethng that will happen on the long run. many yaers to come. so i have the strong believe and positivity about the bitcoin currency. it will happen someday.

[saumang2m]

The number of people who use Bitcoin every day is increasing. It seems that soon Bitcoin will come in mainstream. And in the next 10 years, almost all people will be using Bitcoin.

[erifubirugen]

Yes i am agree with that. I think the Bitcoin will be the main stream in near future. Today everyone started to talk and understand about the Bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies so the new market has opened. As far as i can see the people love this new system and it will be more popular every new day..

[drachman]

2019 will definitely be the start of crypto's mass adoption, though much more still needs to be done for the two worlds — traditional banking and crypto — to coexist frictionlessly. There are important questions that need to be answered. For example, should banks create coins of their own in order to compete with already established cryptocurrencies?

They are going to do it if they feel like they can benefit out of it, the problem is that banks are centralized institutions and if they do that they risk that governments get mad at them by creating their own coins and that they go after them, the reason bitcoin works is because Satoshi Nakamoto knew from the beginning that he could be persecuted and that is why he hid his identity.

[Tory-Tory]

10 years is a long time. I'm sure that bitcoin has not gained its popularity yet. It will become very popular when it can be bought by every student through a simple and convenient service and this will be the peak of bitcoin, which will last a long time. I would transfer every salary to bitcoins and keep it in bitcoins, if it was convenient, and so have to do it much less often.

[hanlap]

In my opinion Bitcoin could be a major upgrade in the future for the next ten years as current trading with Bitcoin is so popular. Besides Bitcoin's Blockchain technology creates new inventions in the second half of this century. It will become the main cash flow in the future when people leave the house without having to carry cash as now.

[Piggymonster]

Yes, I believe that bitcoin will go mainstream in the next ten years, look how technology transform our society and bitcoin will surely transform our economy also. In each day, bitcoin holders are increasing in number and some countries are starting to recognize it, over a decade it will be adapted all over the world.

[bumTUNA999]

I think knowing the power the government and elites have, somehow that might happen but with with all the usual names calling the shots, I don't think the whole "power to the people" idea that most have is happening with BTC, the power isn't going to the people, it's just shifting to other powerful people and that usually would also mean the same set of people. So government, corporations etc etc, whoever is behind the current state of affairs would just mold BTC (the new BTC) to their liking most likely. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping that's not the case; wait and see approach either way, but 10 years sounds too short unless we have a major recession and even then BTC's volatility doesn't make things look that great either I think. Here's hoping!

[cryptocurrencyguru]

By 2020 itself we can expect bitcoin as mainstream currency the reason is now we are seeing in many country merchants are coming forward to implement bitcoin as main source of payment parrel to visa and master cards

[Dongquensiar]

It can become a mainstream since you are aiming for a decade which means a lot could happen and things might get really exciting for bitcoin. All it gotta do is to have a more improvement and development. Also, keep on having a superb value in market.

[VeeIdee]

Some form of cryptocurrency will.. I sure hope it will be bitcoin!

[Nucunsimeo]

It can become a mainstream since you are aiming for a decade which means a lot could happen and things might get really exciting for bitcoin, with a lot of future unknown twist and turns.

[Olalomi]

From all indications bitcoin is already reaching a milestone to becoming  the mainstream of payment in all financial institutions, everyday new ideas are formulated towards having a faster, secured,  trustful and devoid of a third persons payment gateways which I believed in 10 years time will materialized however one of the factors that can make or mar its fulfillment is the low publicity and public enlightenment in the usage of bitcoin.

[chezarjuli]

In 10 years, a lot of things will change, but my opinion will be worth it. 130 000 - 150 000 thousands of dollars and it will take stability .

[nightfury]

Does bitcoin isn't mainstream already? With bitcoin's popularity, dominance, and usage, i don't think bitcoin is not a mainstream already today. As we can see, bitcoin is already the base currency of cryptoworld and it's really hard to imagine the existence of cryptoworld without bitcoin.

[Jyominall]

Well, i agree with this point of view. And I hope that in coming 10-20 years cryptocurrencies will replace usual cash

[Helen1122]

even in the next 5 years, bitcoin will be used by more people. they are currently just not used to the rising bitcoin prices. after they understand that, and understand how to take profit from that volatile price, more people will use it.

[goldSkylark]

I guess 10 years is possible if a majority of the population are already using bitcoin –not just in buying or selling -but as an actual currency. And I guess going mainstream may require some form of regulation from the government. Because that’s the only way for it to become a legit currency, right?

[quynhtran722]

Bitcoin is not a temporary trend, virtual currency can completely survive. There will be the emergence of two to three major currencies. Bitcoin is a new field and there will be major improvements going on. Bitcoin is increasingly recognized as making investors' confidence in the future of the virtual currency more consolidated. Asian countries, especially young people, are increasingly interested in Bitcoins.

[Bana85]

Great news thanks

[Gonzaleti]

Yes it can! As bitcoin remains on top and develops well, it will become the mainstream and it will be of great help to many by then. Looking forward that it will indeed happen for the good of many.

For the next decade I believe bitcoin will be an important currency, especially as a digital currency. As an illustration, now bitcoin is already known and used as a means of payment by millions of people around the world. There are some countries that refuse to use bitcoin, but citizens can use bitcoin with foreign proxies, because the internet cannot be stopped. Bitcoin with fiat currency for the next decade will work together.

[sinthan]

Yeah i believe everyone in this world will have bitcoin in the next 10 years. Bitcoin already survive for more than 8 years and bitcoin community become more bigger everyday.

[f12345]

Yes perhaps sooner than that
IBM has introduced Blockchain World Wire (BWW), a cross-border payment system designed to eliminate banking intermediaries, cut costs and lower transaction times for traditional international payments.

According to IBM’s announcement about World Wire, “the new financial rail” can simultaneously clear and settle cross-border payments in near real-time.

World Wire uses the Stellar protocol and an intermediary cryptocurrency, such as the Stronghold USD stablecoin, to enable financial institutions to clear and settle cross-border payments in seconds.

[buy_crypt_sell]

Can. But it depends on many factors - such as the political will of heads of state, the behavior of large stock investors and the General political situation in the world.

[dang thi bich thuy]

Can. But it depends on many factors - such as the political will of heads of state, the behavior of large stock investors and the General political situation in the world.

Bitcoin is global in scale and is used to buy many of same things as real money, and it can convert real money into great value, the world's most valuable currency. The price of a bitcoin is now $ 6500, not to mention time when last year was up to $ 19,000, I firmly believe that sooner or later it becomes the main cash flow.

[FedorIzmailov]

I believe that bitcoin will be en masse in the next ten years but I still believe that it will not be used as a currency but will be used as digital gold

[molla_corda]

This requires an extremely cruel and inhuman global crisis of classical payment systems, the banking sector. If Bitcoin becomes the main one, It will mean the recent global collapse. But not everything is so bad, cryptocurrencies can take a confident place in the financial market and extremely serious in the future 10 years.

[dodgi]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

In General, I fully agree with the Professor's opinion. Crypto currency has all chances to win the Internet, all payments on the Internet. That's when it will be a big breakthrough.

[angchosenone]

Nobody can state the future...But we can state the use of bitcoins will build which is a positive sign for turning into the fundamental stream...But currently comes to fruition the government...No thought whats going ahead in the psyche of the government...May be they can boycott bitcoin...And on the off chance that they do then it cannot be the standard..

[WebTera]

Bitcoin has all the possibilities to become the main currency in the next decade. I have no doubt about that. He just needs time for full development and implementation.

[Elerntta]

The future is unpredictable, but something tells me that we can really use bitcoin as a full currency in the near future. It will be very convenient and transform the modern world.

[minhlee95]

With the current situation in the world, it is difficult to imagine that bitcoin can become a real currency. But I believe in this technology, and I hope that bitcoin will be able to cope with all the obstacles and from the government, and from the other skeptics.

[sngwinner]

This would be a very very interesting to read. I would love it if you can provide the link to the whole article so we can read as well and critique to know the value of their findings. Nonetheless, i think I fully agree with their findings because gradually more companies are drawing in. It is only a matter of time for this dream to come to pass.

[Sumo]

And why not? This is a unique technology that can rightfully occupy a leading place in the world and be used daily by the world. I am very much waiting for that time, the code we will be able to take advantage of all the advantages of bitcoin.

[icreative998]

I think this is possible in the future because the convenience that bitcoin brings to the economy of the country is greatly improved and it will help people to trade with each other. easy and less time consuming. But there are still some btc worries that will be used to do bad things and I hope this has been fixed in the near future.

[Hidemeb4]

We need a huge market crash another one like the 2008 which could really open up the eyes of people and make them realize how bad can debt be.

[Tipsters]

That still depends on the governments on that time. In addition to that, all the economic status of every country should be normally distributed so that it is easier to be agreed upon by the majority. Nevertheless, this will still take time because as you can see the market is very unhealthy now and we need more innovations.

[candy69]

The way bitcoin has been getting popular all over the world, it would definitely play a very important role for world economy in the next few years time. Many governments have already started concentrating on cryptocurrency and their reliance would grow on it as the time passes.

[Jimitieu]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

I think this will soon come true, but people are not really ready to accept the crypto because they are concerned that the appearance of crypto is going to affect their work or income. So I think btc or cryptocurrency needs more time to complete so that people can access it more easily.

[Rooster101]

Legalizing the cryptocurrency is the first big step in putting the bitcoin into mainstream in the future. People can able to use bitcoin in their daily transactions if the virtual currency become of the legal tender and this will speed up the adoption. Government will surely impose some regulations on crypto exchanges to protect the consumers from illegal use of bitcoin or those who bitcoin to scam people.

[Crafts12]

In the next 10 years I believe that cryptocurrency will be mainstream. It will be use by the most of us in all over the places. Cryptocurrency will be the means of the payments and transactions. In the present time, it is now use by many people so I guess that the possibility of it tgat is being use by all of us in tge future is huge. As what stated above, that study is not impossible. I hope it wilk come true.

[BryanRoseWalker]

we all know the latest fiat conditions, if the volume is more profitable only for some countries, then economic policy will be biased and chaotic, I am very sure there will be many countries that will eventually use crypto currencies, especially bitcoin, and this starts from countries Asia is very large, because they are very much influenced by the pressure from the USD, and this will run no need to wait until the next 10 years because of the insistence of balanced economic alternatives.

[avoxosuccesful]

So many points but in a way y'all kinda saying the same thing. And I think bitcoin and crytocurrency is already spreading wide and far but it will attract more people if the digital currency scalability Is transparent. People are looking for were to invest.

[millionaireshs]

That was absolutely possible for a lot of people are becoming interested to everything that is related online. I just cannot imagine how it will be more powerful in the next decades. We just dont know how was the system f every government will be at that time  but one thing is for sure, cryptocurrency will not be gone easily.

[fishball]

It is one of the best possibilities that can happen to bitcoin in the next 10 years or maybe in less than 10 years. But it still depends on bitcoin's performance to be able to please more and more people.

[FedorIzmailov]

I believe that bitcoin will be the leading currency in the next few years. I think that all of you in this believe and hope

[marcitosi]

it seems to me that we must change a lot before accepting and making bitcoin the main one in the world economy. Still a lot of work to be done

[Renu kapoor]

There are possibilities of this it may be within or after 10 years, present society is technical and computerize society every one wants short cuts for fulfillment  of their demands and requirements for that every one needs more easy money, and for that every one need cryptocurrency and in this way btc become mainstream in coming future.

[Nunii]

Yes, why not? Currently, there have been small businesses or individuals who are accepting BTC or cryptocurrencies as mode of payment. Ad so, if this is being used today, how much more in the coming days unless otherwise there will be global banning of cryptos. However, we do not know yet if BTC will rule on the time to come. We really do not know, but there is potential that an innovation can outperform what BTC is doing now. It's just a matter of time for us to witness it.

[annaso]

By now it is evident that the prophesied mass adoption has not yet come. But Bitcoin isn’t going to die any time soon either, despite what some of the detractors would have you believe. The question then becomes, when is global recognition realistically possible and what has been preventing it so far?
Both the number of daily transactions and the price of Bitcoin have steadily grown to quite substantial levels, despite all the setbacks and crashes on the way. It is clear that there is enough determination and enthusiasm in the Bitcoin community to maintain the current positive dynamics into the future. Rather, the continuation of the current steady organic growth could be what Bitcoin needs. It is quite likely that five or 10 years half the world will know what Bitcoin is.

[bitbunnny]

Somehow I don't think that Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is ment to become mainstream. No matter the mass adoption or regulation to be mainstream is not the purpose of cryptocurrencies, they are created with aim to be alternative to traditional economy and fiat currencies and it should stay so.
By that I don't want to say that Bitcoin doesn't need to have the equal position and treatment like fiat, just the opposite, but mainstream is totaly different story.

[evenkjoe]

Bitcoin will become the main means of payment in the next 10 years, as the whole financial world is now closely studying cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin, in my opinion, is the most reliable of them.

[DennyPen]

My point is that bitcoin and crypto may become a mainstream, but only until it satisfies big players. I mean, even if crypto-payments will become adopted and widespread, an average man won't get any advantage of it except for the ability to use one more means of payment. The time of gaining big money on crypto is already behind.

[greg0rioo]

Maybe that can happen, because bitcoin is still in the development stage. And bitcoin is a coin of the future, so it's natural that bitcoin is said to be mainstream and I think it will be an expensive coin in the next 10 years.

[LaurenProfi]

I think so , since many companies are already using Bitcoin As a means to pay for their goods and services, given how fast the progress is developing right now, we can assume that in 10 years we will transfer taxes to the FIU Bitcoinami !

[drachman]

Yes, I believe that bitcoin will go mainstream in the next ten years, look how technology transform our society and bitcoin will surely transform our economy also. In each day, bitcoin holders are increasing in number and some countries are starting to recognize it, over a decade it will be adapted all over the world.

I hope you are correct on that, because as we know a lot of things can happen in 10 years, bitcoin could become mainstream and be adopted all over the world, but if governments feel that they are threatened in their interests by this new currency it is very likely that they are going to ban it and if that is the case then the adoption of bitcoin could get lower instead of higher.

[finlandais]

Yes surely this is possible because bitcoin has the potential to do so.Every study in cryptomarket proved that BTC has the capability to emerge as the successfull currency in coming future.In next 10 years we can say that bitcoin will become the future currency.It has the potential to replace the paper currency.In coming years bitcoin will be used in every transaction.

[hungsanh2512]

I think Bitcoin is a place to store the assets of technology addicts. Bitcoins are not just used to buy goods online, but they can also be used to pay college tuition. Bitcoin is a global asset pegged to other investment assets such as gold, stocks and real estate.

[george888055]

It's a matter of time, in the future bitcoin will become the main coin, but not the only other coins will be the same, and maybe even more valuable than bitcoin. But at this time, everything will be fine for this, because sooner or later digital money will completely replace Fiat.

[Radio-Active]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

10 years is a long time, it will be enough to make bitcoin as a mainstream currency in the future if bitcoin usage keep increasing from now.
Few years ago when bitcoin were created, there are only few peoples know about bitcoin and many didn't believe bitcoin value. But now, bitcoin value is very high and became a popular currency.

[dedetwitter]

i think yes because bitcoin is general.

[taliwang]

yes of course that could happen because this bitcoin has a very limited total supply and the demand is so high that it will make the price of bitcoin in the future will become a coin that has a very expensive price because the available supply has run out and it is very difficult to get bitcoin.

[Ozero]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Crypto currency can be widely used all over the world as a way of paying for goods and services. This is unquestionable. Of course, this requires a very extensive infrastructure, which will ensure the technical side of such a process. However, decentralized crypto currency has no chance at all to become the main form of payment in any state. Crypto currency can only go in parallel with the national money of this state.

[N4bil4]

If you look at the development of technology that is now increasingly sophisticated, everything will happen, because the interest of bitcoin is increasing,because cryptocurrency has the potential to become a widely used form of payment over the next few decades,some countries have accepted it as a legal place and are used as their payment instrument and some countries are still in process.

[Tetutu]

It's really hard to predict where the 10-year bitcoin will come from. But my guess is that we will not be able to believe in a few years. But I think it will lose its effect over time.

I think it can't be in 10 years that bitcoin is the main currency, because it is impossible to replace fiat money. For large-scale trading using bitcoin is more profitable, but for small trades, paper money is easier and simpler. If as a companion for fiat money, I'm sure of that. Bitcoin can be global money, because no country claims it.

[qiwoman2]

I think ti can, as more and more economies come under pressure, many are turning to Bitcoin, like Gold, as a safe haven. As also more and more of the unbanked populations with a cell phone start getting into Bitcoin and Cryptos, you will see us going from 1% of the population holding or using crypto and Bitcoin to at least 20/25%. I easily see this happening over the next ten years. As more institutions and regulations come into place, you will see many people having pension funds with Bitcoin in them and people getting their wages in Bitcoin too. I think everyone should try to aspire to save up and own at least one Bitcoin over the next two years.

[Hiroyuki879]

 Bitcoin is already mainstream. Mass adoption would make more sense in your article. The only reason bitcoin is not on the mass adoption train is becuase of FUD news scaring people in the belief that bitcoin is used for crooks. Just bullcrap... Also the government is involved and they are trying to control it. Eventually mass adoption will happen sooner than later.

[Anam313]

how it will become? it is already the mainstream now, more and more experts are starting to study all about crypto currency, and i think after a decade from now, bitcoin will become more popular, and had a massive adoption on that time. i cant wait to see how more successful this bitcoin is.

[killat]

In my country (East-Europe) i can pay all my bills using Bitcoin, i can pay my fly ticket using bitcoin, i already pay my webhost + domain using bitcoin, i can withdraw my bitcoin using ATMS (5-7% Fees) but i can do that.

In United Kingdom is the same you can do everything with bitcoin everyone accept bitcoin as a payment method and i see some merchants from Alibaba accept bitcoin (I dont try, too risky)

P.S in United Kingdom Escorts and some Erotic Massage accept bitcoin (i dont try it but i will do for sure )

[Rashid555]

Crypto market show a rise in the whole world and i am sure that this will be the mainstream in the coming years while many companies will attach to blockchain then their contracts payments and other salaries also be done through this technology so i think that the world is more advance than ever seen.

[ReneFigaro]

The time is so far away that we can't control it. Make predictions until early 2019 when the crypto market is restored and Bitcoin regains its place. That may be the objective assessment of the financiers.

[ObsidianCharlie]

Speculation aside, anyone else here using BTC as long term savings/store of value?

[Pamadar]

Crypto market show a rise in the whole world and i am sure that this will be the mainstream in the coming years while many companies will attach to blockchain then their contracts payments and other salaries also be done through this technology so i think that the world is more advance than ever seen.

If pure development attracts businesses and government to use the system, and yes after several years bitcoin together with well known alts which caters some good venues of services will be in a mainstream there's no doubt that the development and the popularity of such investment currency are really attracting more and more people's interest, even those who didn't believe before are now looking for its potentials and start buying and holding coins.

[Legendari]

It seems to me that bitcoin has long ceased to be just a repository for fiat. In Japan, 90% of stores accept bitcoin for payment and this trend is emerging in other countries.

[Viviornitier]

Speculation aside, anyone else here using BTC as long term savings/store of value?

Yes not all of us here are degenerate shorters 😛

[mcnocon2]

Yes it will become the mainstream someday, I fully believe in that. As you can see and analyzed, the volume of bitcoin and other altcoins are increasing very high as the time passes. So we can conclude that as long as the time passes and the news of bitcoin keep spreading, the more people and investors used this as a mode of payment. We can see that on other companies now accepting bitcoins and other altcoins. So it is just have a matter of time to become a mainstream.

[AshleyCarter67]

At the present time, we can see that, in countries with strong economic growth, such as the United States and Japan, they have put Bitcoin into the payment service area of their country. This has made the economies of developed countries grow stronger. If Bitcoin can become a global coin, then maybe the world economy will grow better.

[marjon]

I'm confident it would be happen soon but can't predict certain timeframe either above or below 10 yrs from now. Imagine the technology is ever changing, all things natural and man-made has changed, therefore, get ready for the revolution of currency where paper money one day become a myth.

[89shaky]

I think that everything goes to the fact that the whole world will start using the crypto currency as payment. It takes time, but I think. that this will happen

[Asimmo]

It seems to me that bitcoin has long ceased to be just a repository for fiat. In Japan, 90% of stores accept bitcoin for payment and this trend is emerging in other countries.

Are you sure about 90%?

I agree, Japan is very crypto-friendly country but I doubt that it`s so widespread..
It would have had pretty high influence on price - it it was true.

[Asawakobana2017]

I think 10 years is really far for bitcoin to become a mainstream. I believe that bitcoin will become a main stream in crypto in the next 5 years. Bitcoin will rise up high and we cannot afford to buy it because want time bull run may start and it's price may rise without a prior notice. So let's buy more today and wait for its price to rise.

[ganlianshifu1]

The cryptocurrency already has the responsibility of legal currency value storage, and other functions will be realized in the future. The cryptocurrency may become the mainstream payment means in the next decade!
It is only a matter of time before countries gradually accept bitcoin or other types of virtual currency!

[Crypto one]

Yes I think bitcoins and crypto currencies will become mainstream within the next ten years. More and more places adopt digital payments and central banks cut put there own currency on there own blockchain but to take that step, blockchain needs to proved that they can be 100 % secure to use, and that's what the crypto community are doing now.
Bitcoins are already now are stir of wealth and it's mainly used to trade other crypto's to be something we use when we do daily shopping, bitcoins payments needs the lighting network to be working or people can pay with a crypto backed credit card.

[BitcoinPanther]

Crypto market show a rise in the whole world and i am sure that this will be the mainstream in the coming years while many companies will attach to blockchain then their contracts payments and other salaries also be done through this technology so i think that the world is more advance than ever seen.

True enough. There is a need for pure development. Sure, it is easy to for businesses to accept bitcoin right now at its current stage as more and more people are pooling in and jumping inside the bitcoin land. But if the intention of development is superseded by greed, the initiative won't last long as the launch of engagement is purely on the profiting side.

There should be a healthy strike between business gain and welfare of the bitcoin community. It is only then that any initiative will be in for a long run. And honestly, short lived bitcoin engagement and initiative is not what we need now. The bitcoin market needs stable engagements to begin with.

[eashikde]

I think these news would have been all slaves, as they would have earned very well. Bitcoin is completely decentralized. Bitcoin in a decentralized manner is not interesting for governments and their friendly businessmen, but Blockchain technology. Becoming a mainstream is not an easy task, you need cooperation with the media, major investors, corporations, governments, the mafia. Bitcoin is a completely independent coin, which causes anger in many people.

Yes, only few people can manipulate it and this is the reason why so many hate it, but also many are now into bitcoin now and this is good as it will start to increase bitcoin price.

Call me old fashioned but my values dictate that i would really love to get rid of the manipulation conspiracy within the market. But anyways, let's leave that topic for another thread.

I am just glad that you realized that people's interest will be the driving factor of price increase rather than the usual limited supply (thus, the call to hodl became so popular). But i do believe that utilization will help more to valuate bitcoin rather than making the supply less. Thus, i am with many out there who are wishing for massive global adoption to take place the soonest possible.

Bitcoin going mainstream would simply mean increased demand, better value and good flow of that finite supply.

[Rony24h7]

There are many possibilities for the part of Bitcoin to become mainstream in the next ten years. In fact, Bitcoin is on the way to be mainstream while people are rushing to know about Bitcoin although most of the people don't have any idea about Bitcoin. You know people are now eagerly involved in the digitalization and advancement of technologies, so they prefer digital and technology-based transaction to the manual one.

Besides, Bitcoin has already grasped the business world so cunningly that others are not still able to cover up the market. But, too many scams, that people are facing, are frustrating the Bitcoin platform. If scams aren't reduced by any means, they may become a great obstacle to make Bitcoin mainstream in the next ten years. To conclude, if think out of scams, it is not an obscure prediction that Bitcoin soon become mainstream. 

[Glutius]

Our world has long required such global changes that would greatly simplify our economic life. And so I hope that in the next few years we can actively use bitcoin as a currency.

[Bennix]

I believe bitcoin will go mainstream because it is secure to the extent that the technology behind it has not be hacked.These are facts that will make people from all works of life to adopt bitcoin.
If you watch ,many companies are accepting bitcoin as a means of payment.This shows that within 10 years bitcoin will be adopted by masses ,and the decentralized system attached to btc is an added advantage,meaning people can send btc at comfort of their homes without any middle man.It is also a store of value ,and the blockchain technology behind can be used to solve problems on almost all sectors in any country.
Based on this,btc will do more than what the internet did today of which we know that 90% of the world can't do anything in almost all the strategic sectors  without internet.
In terms of transaction,one can send btc to any part of the world that is internet enable.
However,it took credit card 50 years to go mainstream ,and I think bitcoin will go  mainstream in less than  10 years.

[kissme09]

An evaluation from a teacher at a large London-based university helped many investors believe in Crypto. I also believe that in the coming decades the use of Crypto as FIAT will help our lives become free. Change the approach to new technology to eliminate impractical technology.

[bajigur894784]

Well, I personally believe Bitcoin will become mainstream. However, It's hard to predict when will it happen, is it will happen in 5, 10 or 15 years.

Beyond that, once again, I believe Bitcoin will become mainstream because I believe that individuals are increasingly aware of an inefficient, heavy, and highly political monetary system.

Communities need a system that does not only benefit those who operate it at the expense of those who participate in it. the public does not need a system that allows centralized control and abuse such as increases exposed to the free flow of information permitted by the internet. People will realize and need Bitcoin, and the world is clearly aware of this truth.

[vagsun]

According to me cryptocurrency will never become legal tender. A lot of people still don't trust crypto as its not physically present. And those people who knows about crypto are not ready to deal in it due to its highly volatile nature. Moreover people of rural areas are unaware about the technology of smart phones or computers, so they can't transact in crypto.

[Cryptrx]

It's very possible judging by how much fanfare bitcoin has attracted in the last 10 years and usually the early days of a tech is usually difficult but it has been able to garner this huge following. In ten more years, Bitcoin would have become very popular and widely accepted.

[blokceyin]

10 years is too much. I'm expecting Bitcoin to become mainstream in the next 5 years.

[kidsrock]

10 years is too much. I'm expecting Bitcoin to become mainstream in the next 5 years.

I think it's less than two years; bitcoin will become mainstream especially if the price can jump and back to the $20k. And once the price can jump to that price, people will come to bitcoin, and they will invest in a lot of money. Maybe in the next year, all people will open their mind and accept bitcoin as a new technology that will make their life easy.

[mmo4me.2016]

This will definitely happen in the near future! This times, is the start time of the development and application of Crypto! Bitcoin and altcoin will thrive in the near future!

[Limsam]

Well i think bitcoin will have a bright future ahead. In the next 10 years, it may become the best currency in the world

[kirisakidaichi]

Then if we examine the All Time Bitcoin movement from the beginning of its creation in 2009 to 2017, it can be seen that there is only the Main Trend UP or the overall uptrend, colored by a slight correction to maintain the uptrend, we imagine what will happen in the next 10 years, maybe bitcoin will be an invaluable asset or even all transactions in the world will use bitcoin currency.

[Dudeperfect]

I believe that the year 2017 was the year when Bitcoin and blockchain technology went mainstream and grab the attention of the world. However, I am expecting at least a decade for the sustainable growth and actual ground level utility value usage of it. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be one of the major players in the fund transfer industry within a decade.

[Valer4ik]

Guys, you are directly trying to find some kind of provocation everywhere, I just vzfl the fact that here they accumulated debts in Pts a large amount, no matter how this debt will continue. It's just that there are enough money in the world and billionaires and so on, and there are no more coins! They simply do not exist, the rest of 4 million is very few Pts, a significant proportion will go to the miners and so on, approximating to any useful cryptotel (crypto))

It remains of course the question, will they fold? - I think not, because before the cue cost really little and was not taken seriously, now in the peak. he showed his need, proved the reliability of the work, all 1000 coins could not what started HE - this is a real force, I believe, and this should and will be considered

[dimiinx]

Surely, bitcoin will become the mainstream in the next 10 years. In matter of fact, this will happen shortly no need for 10 years to be happen because every day many people jump into bitcoin and more people are aware about it.

what is certain and without waiting for a long time bitcoint will become mainstream because bitcoint is now global, meaning that without waiting for 10 years to come, everyone will see and feel the impact of the bitcoin

[Kim Addington]

Bitcoin its still in development, it needs a lot of regulations firstly, a lot of acceptance and investment from by big players/companies and a lot of promotion. Personally I hope that when lightning network will be fully implemented bitcoin will become a viable way to pay for little things in much faster time.
For bitcoin to become a true replacement for current currencies I think it need a hell lot of time, mainly because it first people need to finish mining it. After that a very stable price + low fees/transaction and fast transactions.

[joganuts]

First of all, I believe that information about bitcoin should be promoted because many people generally do not know what bitcoin is or have bad ideas about it. If people were more informed I think they would increase the number of users.

Yes you are right about that. The higher the demand may result for bitcoin to improve and be a mainstream. If it will be faster then it can be accomplosh less than a ten years.

[Spaffin]

Crypto currency in the coming years can become widely used throughout the world, for this it has all the chances. Now it is very strong. is developing rapidly, there are more and more exchangers, they are becoming more simple and convenient to use. An infrastructure is being formed for the use of crypto currency as a means of payment, and not only as a means of accumulating value. However, decentralized crypto currency will never become the main currency that will replace conventional currencies, for this it is not intended. It can exist only in parallel with the usual currency.

[ABIR HASAN]

Trading Bitcoins and possible arbitrage opportunities are the good sources to earn Bitcoins. From those all i do believe sports betting are the best way. I think there is a small chance that bitcoin can become the mainstream in the next ten years.

[Kovanyy89]

Can't agree more with that point of view. BTC is really promising and it has many advantages, and people are gonna slowly realize that.

[wasaisi]

According to a study conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, cryptocurrency has the potential to become a form of payment that is widely used for decades to come. In their research report entitled "Cryptocurrency: Overcoming Barriers to Trust and Adoption" Professor Imperial College London, William Knottenbelt, and Imperial College Business School Dr. Zeynup Gurguc, argue that cryptocurrency has so far acted as a store of value like a fiat currency.

Maybe it will happen if the crypto currency is getting famous but Bitcoin will still be used in the future. Because if Bitcoin disappears from market or from the crypto world it might shake the crypto currency world. So from that, even though Bitcoin is called the mainstream, it certainly will still be used.

[Ciscopro2000]

I do believe bitcoin and crypto currencies will become mainstream within 10-15 years.  More businesses and companies will start to see the value to accepting crypto currencies.  People will get accustomed to their acceptance when hey see real world use cases. 

[MasonJones]

I definitely think so. Bitcoin is also used quite often in online casinos when paying to play there. If you want to find out more about it and which online casinos accept bitcoins you can check http://www.nodepositrewards.com/bitcoin/.

[Jeremiah0]

I personally believe bitcoin can become mainstream in 5 years with etf approval next year a gradual adoption into various economy, this feat can be achieved.

[atariguy]

After the full implementation of the lighting network, it can displace many coins with a cheap Commission

[waldo13]

Agree. Btw, not only bitcoin but much more other promising cryptocurrencies - skycoin, cryptyk and many others can become widely used. Maybe there even will be a way to pay anywhere in any cryptocurrency you'd like.

[Pattart]

Yes surely this is possible because bitcoin has the potential to do so.Every study in cryptomarket proved that BTC has the capability to emerge as the successfull currency in coming future.In next 10 years we can say that bitcoin will become the future currency.It has the potential to replace the paper currency.In coming years bitcoin will be used in every transaction.

Yeah there's a possibility! but the problem now is legalization for bitcoin, bitcoin stops in this phase because it is restrained by government rules that prohibit bitcoin to be used, if there is a way out for mutual interest. with the result bitcoin can be legalized I am sure of the future of bitcoin..

[Egenen]

Bitcoin could be a legal currency if there were some laws changed around. That is what most are trying to do in btc.

[kidsrock]

Bitcoin doesn't need ten years to become mainstream because bitcoin is already reached many people in the last year and we see that many investors join in the bitcoin. They attract to bitcoin because of bitcoin price increase so high, and this makes them feel that they will be too late if they do not buy bitcoin in that time. But suddenly, after the end of the last year, bitcoin price is down and slowly reach the bottom price in a few weeks ago and although now the price still trying to increase, it still needs time to be back to the high price.

[Valakhaha]

At the current time, If Bitcoin is accepted by the family value for they can be saved on their country, they become one in the payment methods at the services as a tour, trading, etc. You may be it for help for the business that the development which is a construction.

[Goodnuel]

If the bitcoin pace continues, gaming more popularity and usage, then i think bitcoin can become mainstream in the next 10 years. But in cryptocurrency, a lot of things are not exactly predictable, as a result, there's no 100% chance that bitcoin will be mainstream in 10 years.

[Snyderfx2]

Without a doubt like experts have mentioned there is a high possibility that bitcoin will become mainstream in next 10 years but only if political and economical organizations won't make barriers in its path and it is very important because no matter how effective and helpful bitcoin and its network become to people if it failed to gain the acceptance politically at least for some extend the path will be much difficult than anticipated

[Harunote]

it's hard man hahaha. but anyway just believe in the future.

[Gaman]

There is no doubt bitcoin will become mainstream.  As the older generation pass to the young generation, this is an inevitable process.

[voron83-05]

In my opinion, when Bitcoin has completely exhausted the resource and ceased to be mined, it will go to the background and then the world will begin to look closely at promising startups, behind which there is real technology.

[T o x i c a l]

If the pace of cryptocurrency development continues to evolve, then Bitcoin will receive mainstream status much earlier. I actually think that he already is already a mainstream. Only not everyone has understood this yet.

[zhanyiguai261315]

Bitcoin has now broken barriers, and companies such as Microsoft, Expedia and Intuit are subject to bitcoin payments.
Bitcoin has made an undeniable advance in credibility, but this condemnation continues today.

[player1001101001]

Yes, exactly Bitcoin has the ability to become mainstream in the next 10 year. Bitcoin has the higher potential in its growth. And as per the time, people are started to accepting it. And many big companies include bitcoin in the payment method. As we can see bitcoin is growing as digital currency. So maybe why not it will become mainstream in the next decade.

[aysg76]

There is no doubt bitcoin will become mainstream.  As the older generation pass to the young generation, this is an inevitable process.

Well, bitcoin had gained a great global attention and the popularity of this coin is getting increased day by day, so the day is not far when this coin would become the mainstream. However the future is quite unpredictable and anything could happen, but it would be possible only if it continues to grow like this...

[Friskaadew]

Yes, maybe it just happened when I started, many people who know and consider BTC are commonplace in the next 10 years, especially now that many companies are actively investing or making regulations where we as consumers can make payments with BTC for make it easier, maybe the next 10 years will really happen

[poletando]

bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is very futuristic right now, many people want to use this system in their network, and I think in the next 10 years we can see there are many cryptocurrency and blockchain system in the public because of the popularity, so I agree with statement that said bitcoin will popular in the next 10 years

[raking]

10 years is enough time for bitcoin to become mainstream in the future. But today's reality, more money is coming out and they keep coming. They are also trying to provide something much better than bitcoin. I think the competition is still unpredictable although bitcoin is a top market value but it is still too early to predict.

[BennyK]

From the look of things, it is quite clear that Bitcoin will enter the mainstream some few years to come. Despite the attacks coming from the governments, Bitcoin has proven a great deal of survival on the market. People are now getting familiar with Bitcoin and gradually, they will understand its concept and the significance it can offer our society.

[MMysterious]

I think is not 10years and it will happen sooner than 5 years. Some countries, Bitcoin is widely accepted already and they are trying to regulate it now. The thing that stopping bitcoin as a currency or a store value is governments body that are trying to manipulate or control it. But the fact that bitcoin cannot control by anyone is good for us. Bitcoin will change our financial system and sooner or later those who adapt it first will have big fortune. Demand is coming and supply is limited and the price of bitcoin will go to the moon

[KenChanYu]

Good to be an optimism mate, positive motivation will conquer all doubts with some people who used bitcoin as phenomenal assistance. Rescently, bitcoin's price struggled from rising to declining, but we have to be aware for it is part of the erratic cycle of the market. I know many of us predict a bright future, 10 years is very long to achieve the mainstream, maybe next year some countries will adopt bitcoin as currency and take it legally. And I am very positive that bitcoin will excel all over the countries around world. But we have to achieve the goal as of 2018.

[FedorIzmailov]

it seems to me that it will not be the main one in the next 10 years, but by 2035-2040 we will definitely switch to digital money

[hanadaya]

Yes, of course it can be mainstream in the next 10 years, it's all about consistency, and I think after a decade from now, Bitcoin will become more popular, and have a massive adoption.

[Sirait]

Why can not? just look at what percentage of new Bitcoin investors appear every year. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be very mainstream in the next few years. I think in the next 10 years that will happen --> cryptocurrency as a tool (investment assets), Blockchain Technology as the registrar of transactions, and currencies in each country as exchange rates of cryptocurrency. more or less as we cryptocurrency players do now 

[Layers318]

Bitcoin is becoming more popular each day as the Blockchain reaches the mass gradually. Bitcoin has proven beyond all reasonable doubts its capabilities of rising up on the market. Ten years is even far for Bitcoin to reach the mass adoption.

[cjinny]

Of course bitcoin can become the mainstream in the ten years that will come. If during this trip bitcoin has become the most valuable and most popular coin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will be better known in the next 10 years.

[leetcoiner]

Cryptocurrency has all chances to enter the world market as one of the main elements and payment instruments. To do this, it is necessary that the productive value of Fiat money is so unprofitable that their production would simply not be logical. In the next couple of years, this is definitely not feasible due to the strong volatility of the cryptocurrency, but everything can be.

[maksimukr1989]

Who knows what will be after 1 year.Humanity is now developing very quickly and it can happen much earlier.At least bitcoin won't disappear for sure.Looking at the capitalization, I have a lot of confidence in this.

[cryptoDowoo]

mainstream ? no,  i think it will make changes in the next 10 years later, and i hope that this happen.

[RickeyRush]

i don't think so! it will be changing but not will become mainstream

[Nanbaka]

theres a possibility that it can, after all even today it has became a mainstream and more and more people are getting interested in it. many are and will ask about bitcoin adn how they can earn with it. so yeah it will become mainstream now that technology keeps becoming more and more modern

[jerrison]

the idea of the bitcoin becoming main steam in the near ten years is not and can not be over emphasised as it is almost the standard right now as most business have decided to go into the digitised currency system and accepting cryptocurrency is more preferred in their transactions

[abhi777]

Of course bitcoin can become the mainstream in the ten years that will come. If during this trip bitcoin has become the most valuable and most popular coin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will be better known in the next 10 years.

of course bitcoin can become mainstream in the next 10 years because bitcoij is a long-term investment that will really benefit.

[ngano ba]

If we have to believe there might be a great possibility that bitcoin will be the mainstream in the next ten years, that will hsppen if the loyal customets and investors will continue to patronized the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency
technology and there will be only odds comingvin its way in the coming years.

[Bitkoyns]

of course yes, those huge holders of bitcoin they are also looking forward to have a good purpose of bitcoin they hold it because they have plans and they will put it out of the market when the plans are ready to make it real and it will really help the market of bitcoin better.

[Haleyyy]

At present, Bitcoin is on a strong development. If they only need governments around the world to accept them as legitimate coin and let them grow better, then it's probably not in the next 10 years that Bitcoin only needs three to five years. can become a major coin in the world economy.

[Noloveatthistime]

I think that if there is any coin in the future and they are of interest to a large number of investors, then Bitcoin may face a comparable competitor. But perhaps up to that time, Bitcoin has become the main coin in the world, and having a competitor who wants to beat Bitoin, they need to do like Bitcoin and do a bit more than Bitcoin.

[Nanda Dewi277]

Of course bitcoin can become the mainstream in the ten years that will come. If during this trip bitcoin has become the most valuable and most popular coin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will be better known in the next 10 years.

this is everyone's hope, bitcoin will be the best coin that has a high selling value that will grow every time. seeing that the price of bitcoin is very good in 2017 makes many people interested in bitcoin high prices greatly affect people's interest. almost all people now know bitcoin and I am sure that for the next 10 years bitcoin will be the best as a transaction tool.

[gezhid008]

I think it's hard for bitcoin to become mainstream, because bitcoin's scarcity and high transfer fees make it hard for it to fit into our lives. But I believe the blockchain industry will become mainstream in the future, and people will be more receptive to digital currencies with zero fees.

[Abram434]

Yes obviously , The world of cryptocurrency is evolving as rapidly as the considerable collection of confusing terminology that accompanies it. These decentralised technologies have the potential to upend everything we thought we knew about the nature of financial systems and financial assets.

[jonaire99]

The legalization of bitcoin in every country can be a big help for its plan to become a mainstream in the next several years. Majority of people, shops and other businesses will follow the trend if the top coin will eventually recognized and legalized as a currency and can be use in any kind of online transactions. Bitcoin adoption might face many challenges or obtacles before it succeed, continued support from the people, holders and investors is needed to make it realized.

[webmone]

Of course bitcoin can become the mainstream in the ten years that will come. If during this trip bitcoin has become the most valuable and most popular coin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will be better known in the next 10 years.

Yes, it will happen, especially if we all make everything to support Bitcoin. For at least, we must not sell this cryptocurrency but try to hold it for a year or two.

[Ronaldcoin2017]

Of course bitcoin can become the mainstream in the ten years that will come. If during this trip bitcoin has become the most valuable and most popular coin, it is not impossible that bitcoin will be better known in the next 10 years.

Yes, it will happen, especially if we all make everything to support Bitcoin. For at least, we must not sell this cryptocurrency but try to hold it for a year or two.

I think bitcoin will become a mainstream in crypto verry soon. Maybe it will not required 10 years to become the mainstream because bitcoin is really becoming more amazing and many people today really believe in bitcoin and it's amazing capability to give a huge return from our investment, this is really the most amazing coin in crypto market and every coin really depend on it.

[carrieM]

i think bitcoin and this business has rally great future! it will not become mainstream

[jpnl0002]

in most of the trading or business and services platforms whose presence is felt online, it has become a standard and also made the major means of payment before of the hassle free features is has with the technology and also makes  transactions way faster and easier. i will say in the near future, bitcoin will become the mainstream

[alexhunter54]

bitcoin started to become very popular in these days and its popularity is getting higher and higher and i think yes it will become mainstream and governments will start to accept and use it.

[rosemary4u]

I strongly believe that bitcoin can become a mainstream currencies for carrying out various business transactions, I think this can become a reliability  as the knowledge on blockchain technology is on the rise now and many others are still coming into the world of crypto.
