A Billion People Will Be Using Cryptocurrency in 5 Years: Brian Armstrong
The world of money is revolutionizing in front of our eyes. Cryptocurrency is creating new paradigms for alternative payment systems and decentralized banking. There is no doubt that the user adoption of various cryptocurrencies is rapidly increasing. The cryptocurrency industry has become more fluid as the borders between it and mainstream finance continue to blur. At the same time, regulators are spending long hours at work to regulate the booming circle of crypto-enthusiasts.

It could be one of the prime reasons why Brian Armstrong believes crypto-adoption will increase at an astronomical pace in the next half-decade.

It's pertinent to note that this statement has come from the head of Coin Base one of Bitcoins biggest exchange makes it legit and true, as an exchange they would have done research on users behaviour. I feel this statement shall have a very positive impact on people who're either holding their coins, or planning to buy. If you see the bigger picture you'll soon be able to buy and sell everything locally with bitcoins, which will only push it's prices up.

As the world of crypto currency is booming and it's being nullifying the current physical banking system slowly, the prediction can be true in the near future. People are more depending on the cyber transactions which might replace the current physical currency with crypto currency or what we say- Bitcoin.

fully digitalized society is coming. so people are getting ready to accept digital coins. bitcoin is the well known digital coin which is reliable. so we can be happy. good things happening..

[ayu1211]

He so rich now and together. because invest in crypto is real.

[budismile]

This information is very good, because it can motivate other bticoin users. considering the current price of Bitcoin is very low from the past 2 years which has increased rapidly.
if indeed it the Armstrong target, then it so targets all people who use Bitcoin. If we see Bitoin users now, are getting tired because of prices that cannot rise.
I don't much to speculate, I can only hope that the Armstrong target is truly achieved.

What you say is true, this article encourages Bitcoin users, that's what I feel myself.
by reading this the article we can find out about the triumph of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is something that is very valuable that we must have, valuable items will be sought after by many people.
don't let you miss to have Bitocin right now, because one day BTC will be very expensive.

The world of money is revolutionizing in front of our eyes. Cryptocurrency is creating new paradigms for alternative payment systems and decentralized banking. There is no doubt that the user adoption of various cryptocurrencies is rapidly increasing. The cryptocurrency industry has become more fluid as the borders between it and mainstream finance continue to blur. At the same time, regulators are spending long hours at work to regulate the booming circle of crypto-enthusiasts.

It could be one of the prime reasons why Brian Armstrong believes crypto-adoption will increase at an astronomical pace in the next half-decade.

The Coinbase chief executive was responding to a question about cryptocurrency’s international outreach at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, to which he predicted that 1 billion people would eventually be using cryptocurrencies in the next five years.

Armstrong believes a growing number of cryptocurrency companies will contribute to the overall crypto ecosystem growth. These companies, under a regulated environment, will issue their tokens backed by their respective market caps. In a way, these institutionalized digital assets will prove to be an alternative investment system in addition to equities.

“It makes sense that any company out there who has a cap table should have their token,” Armstrong said. “Every open source project, every charity, potentially every fund or these new types of decentralized organizations [and] apps, they’re all going to have their tokens.”

Coinbase, the U.S. company Armstrong heads, is one of the world’s largest bitcoin and altcoin exchanges by trading volume. They have only recently entered the U.K. markets to tap the growing crypto-user base in the country. Previously, it had been working actively in the U.S. and Europe, and it has amassed over 13 million users to date. That makes it 32.5 percent of the overall crypto-users — arguably, anyway.

Armstrong plans to expand Coinbase to more global territories. They have recently announced their plans to open new offices in Africa.

That's a great news to all crypto enthusiast if that really be happen 5 years from now. Though it cannot be deny that crypto currency nowadays are very popular in some other country who are opened into this business. But still, crypto/digital currency is not in half way but maybe after 2 years from now it could be happen in my opinion.

[bitcoindusts]

I do think that Armstrong's forecast of 1 billion people in 5 years digging cryptocurrency is not impossible.

This year alone had contributed to a world wide awareness rally for cryptocurrency led by the crypto leader, bitcoin. As Vitalik believed, cryptocurrency gained enough attention already, what's next depth or utilization to grow the crypto economy even stronger than ever.

And i think that 5 years is a safe estimate for this adoption of utilization to take place. With bitcoin derivatives being deployed, institutional investors are about to make the crypto economy more lively. And for sure, user utilization will follow suit as confidence and trust will exponentially increase over time.

[Kprawn]

Why should we be exited about 1 Billion people using Crypto currencies, if it is not Bitcoin? Most of these Alt coins or tokens

are centralised in any way, so we should not celebrate people using centralized controlled Crypto currencies.    Bitcoin was

developed to bypass centralized authority and exploitation of people by centralized authorities. (PayPal / Banks / WU etc.)  

If a Billion people started to use Bitcoin, then I would retire early.  

[Daniel91]

I really believe so.
People generally don't like control, governments or banks.
So, bitcoin is perfect solution for them.
With bitcoin they can be financially free.
Bitcoin creating revolution in currencies and online payments.

[Patriode]

Yeah it will happen probably. The cryptocurrency industry is growing so fast. Many people everyday is learning about it which is really great for the industry for its future development.

Of course, all this should grow and grow despite the development of some coins, the entire cryptocurrency market should develop and not stop at small irregularities, I think they will be able to.

[CrazyHarpy]

The number of the people joining in the industry is important. But i think more important thing is making people proper educated about the technology. Otherwise the market will face more FUDs.

[Impulseboy]

It would be great if a billion people will be using cryptocurrency in 5 years. While there are a lot of people who doubt and is still unfamiliar with digital currency, more and more people are joining the crypto world day by day. The only thing keeping people from joining in is lack of knowledge about it. Perhaps if more and more people will talk about it the more will want to join in, right?

[Cybora9]

I also think so because the crypto world is emerging quickly. People all over the world are becoming interested about the crypto world which means the future is really good.

[CODE200]

There's a big possibility that cryptocurrencies will be much successful in the future and at the same time digital currency will be the world wide used by the people because for sure in the future there will be be a high innovative technologies that will discover so possibly this will be the Blockchain technology that handled digital currency.

[GlassBullet]

Yeah he is right and the vision will be true. Cryptocurrency is developing and surely adoption will increase in a high range. In near future the user of crypto will be huge and it will spread around the whole world.

[CrazyHarpy]

Well we can surely predict this kind of situation will be happened. The market is growing and we will have a billion of money in this market in near future. So the future of crypto will be great.

[lightcar]

I would even say that estimate is conversative, I think eventually half of the worlds population will be holding and using at least some type of cryptocurrency.

[Victorik]

If Cryptocurrecy was a bubble as been speculated by some enemies of decentralization, then this market would have longed gone under water. What Amstrong just said is a picture of what we are to expect inspect in the future. The wise will keep buying and holding.

[abiola4real]

I agree with, because with current mass adoption and legalization going on in different country of the world. It has shows that not only the gee guys and criminal as they say will be using bitcoin but all trader both internationally and intranationally
