Bitcoin - Back to the Future story :->

[Kakmakr]

It's just another 9 to 5 day in 2030. It's a Wednesday and I have to be at work early, so I dress quickly and nearly forget to put on my wrist wallet. <Geez.. it will be a bad day, if I forgot that>  

I go down to the parking basement and get into my new Tesla Auto 7000 <Driverless Car> and I am greeted by the friendly onboard computer, called "Buster".

Buster : "Good Morning, Sir... Where will we be going today?"

Me : "Morning Buster, let's head off to work, I have a long day ahead of me.  

We exit the basement parking and the onboard Crypto wallet built into the Tesla gives a loud "Ping" when the payment for the parking goes automatically off from the pre-loaded balance on the built-in wallet. <Buster acknowledge the payment for the parking was done>  

When we get about 1 block away from the Drive-thru Starbucks, Buster ask me if we should pop-in for a quick morning coffee and I agree. I order my usual Caffe' Misto and Spinach,feta Breafast wrap and pay with my Crypto wrist wallet.

I am one of the first people in the office and I decide to quickly browse through the Wednesday Flash Sale products on offer at OpenBazaar. <Amazon was replaced by OpenBazaar in 2022> …. I spot a new Nano Drone mini XLR for BTC0.00000045 and I place my order for 2 of these beauties. The wrist wallet detects the purchase and gives me a verification prompt to complete the transaction.  

………. Let's complete this story together   to see what our vision for Bitcoin will be for the future.  

To be continued...….

A future story at early morning seemed to be very futuristic; though I'm still feeling very sleepy.

How abt a Lamborghini priced at BTC0.2-0.3 only or by 2030 Lamborghini gets out and a new brand comes in.

[michellee]

Meanwhile, I still at home, in my bed, don't know what I want to start but then Geez I remember that I should go to the office and I think I will be late if I don't get quick.

I ride my BMW new series Xi1 ( it's a new model in that year ) ( I bought that with Bitcoin )
I enjoy the long road and sun shining in the morning, and I listen to music while I make a conversation with my private assistant.

I don't forget to stop in my favorite coffee shop and order black coffee and snack and pays for a small amount with my bitcoin debit card. Then, I continue to the office, and in the middle of the ways to the office, I received a call by my customer that he's already sent the payment and I said OK, I check in my wallet and I saw the transaction completed.

In the office, I see Kakmakr has been busy with his work, and I give him a snack and say Hi there
Then I go to my room and start to check my work for that day.

I was contacted yesterday about some project related to Blockchain. I am very interest in them, and I think that it could be good if they can make a big ledger and they can start to add their financial transaction in the Blockchain, and they can also try to convert their payment with Bitcoin. But later I will ask my staff to teach them about how to use Blockchain for the financial because they can cut off their expenses to hire too many accountants for every of the transaction.

Next...

PS: sorry if it's not right, I am not good to make a story

1. First of all, it doesn't seem that bitcoin will rise that much. Most people still not willing to use it and probably will never start.
2. Why this piece of garbage called Tesla is a car of the future?
3. People already can pay with smartwatch and maybe some other stuff that could be put on their wrist. You have to be more creative to show the future.

Tbh it is pretty funny to see someone's wet dreams about how his satoshies will make him rich in a couple of decades.

I wasn’t going to post in thread until I saw your post. Why do you have to be such an ass hole, let him dream if he wants to, it’s not doing you any harm. Why are you even here if you don’t believe in bitcoin, why are you in a sig campaign earning satoshis?

Your attitude is similar to what people were saying when the price was in single & double figures.
Everything actually points to the price booming 12-18 months after the next halving in mid 2020.

If you look at a price chart since the first block was mined you’ll see that the exponiental trend is actually upwards, always upwards over time. The price of 1BTC will probably reach six figures in the next 5-10 years, I hope you have a pile of coins otherwise you’re going to be full of regrets.

1. First of all, it doesn't seem that bitcoin will rise that much. Most people still not willing to use it and probably will never start.

Peoples who are not willing to use it now doesn't mean that they won't use it in the future... let's keep it for the future.
There will always be two kinds of peoples for everything in this world; with a positive mind and with a negative mind.

2. Why this piece of garbage called Tesla is a car of the future?

You don't know the future... something bad now doesn't mean to be bad forever. Note, I don't know much abt Tesla.

3. People already can pay with smartwatch and maybe some other stuff that could be put on their wrist. You have to be more creative to show the future.

Yes, that's right! And why don't you write a more creative futuristic story so that we can be a time traveler for a while at least?

Tbh it is pretty funny to see someone's wet dreams about how his satoshies will make him rich in a couple of decades.

"Decade(s)" is a long time to pass in order to change the future and of course the "wet dreams". I'm still positive, and all other positive supporters will be positive and support decades after decades.

1. First of all, it doesn't seem that bitcoin will rise that much. Most people still not willing to use it and probably will never start.

people are always skeptical about bitcoin specially when price is like this at a bottom after a long drop. back in 2015 nobody believed bitcoin could go back up to 3 digits ($1000) ever again. they were all saying "nobody is willing to use it" etc etc. and yet bitcoin keeps on growing.

I also believe in Bitcoin but I'm always trying to be realistic and support my faith with at least some facts.

Unfortunately, it does not guarantee that Bitcoin price will grow that high.
I also have some BTC savings but as I said It is better to be realistic without any blind faith in wealthy future that will come from nothing.

Unfortunately, Tesla is too bad (starting from the product and ending with production and management issues) and Elon Musk is a doubtful and overhyped businessman.  While traditional auto concerns are making better cars.

[Kopyleft]

You sure have a clear imagination of what you envision bitcoin to be in the next two decades, although, I'd say it may take longer than that for Bitcoin to be universally accepted as a means of making daily payments.
Transactions has been simplified I've the years, and now it's possible to pay for a product by scanning a QR code.
Bitcoin would make payment global, and one would be able to pay at anywhere in the world, without having to visit a bank to convert currencies.

there is no guarantee and there is no faith. they are both extreme sides of the same coin.
what we have is speculation. bitcoin has been performing very well in the past 10 years with a solid adoption growth that has led to a constant growth of it which is partially visible on the price charts and if you ignore the overly excited parts which lead to bubbles and then bubble burst bear market dumps, you can clearly see the solid rise over time which is similar to an exponential rise that is speeding up.

How stupid would many people feel for spending 0.2 - 0.3 regularly on drugs in the dark market. If only they sobered up, and kept the Bitcoins in cold storage.

There is a guarantee that deflationary currency (in our case Bitcoin) will never overtake fiat currencies and will never be the main payment method.
This solid rise does not say anything about future Bitcoin adoption and the way of crypto market development in the future. I'm also a crypto lover but lets be frank, the fact that BTC performed good at the past time does not say that we will be able to buy some valuable shit for 45 sat.

The currency still exists because its users got a positive mind. "Positive" is much stronger than the "Negative".... can you see that?

[Stac]

Bitcoin was created by an unknown person by name Satoshi Nakamoto he introduced the white paper his intention was to give an alternative for the banks ..Bitcoin is a decentralized peer to peer electronic cash  that can be transferred without a central body so there is no burden of headaches like paying any service charges or hidden taxes like banks as internet has changed the face of the world Bitcoin also has hit the world now it has been ten years past at the beginning Bitcoin price was less and gradually it reached a goal ,Bitcoin has the potential to change the society they remain free from political influences .

[BitHodler]

How stupid would many people feel for spending 0.2 - 0.3 regularly on drugs in the dark market. If only they sobered up, and kept the Bitcoins in cold storage.

It works both ways. If you spent Bitcoin early 2018 you would feel like a champion right now. To make things even better, you can buy back the coins that you spent for way less below the $4000 mark.

It's never easy to make a proper decision beforehand. Time will tell whether it was a good or bad decision afterwards, and so far it has been an excellent job to cash out or spend coins on gold or whatever else.

If you bought gold with Bitcoin early 2018, you wouldn't only hedge the massive correction that followed, but at the same time enjoy seeing gold gain more value. In other words double profits.

[HODL2090]

It's never easy to make a proper decision beforehand. Time will tell whether it was a good or bad decision afterwards

This has held very true so far, only retrospectively can we truly judge the merit of decisions made concerning bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.
One thing which is accepted is the longer you hodl, regardless of market circles, you are likely to cash out on top. As long as you do not cut your losses during a bear season.

Bitcoin rate is growing because people are buying. There is a lot of HODLers that are not doing anything but having a positive attitude. Unfortunately, the currency rate is not growing just because they are doing nothing, smiling and thinking that they will become rich in a few years.

[Nivia1st]

whether in the future 1 btc can buy Lambo? or even just 1sats we can enjoy dinner at a fancy restaurant?
maybe this is everyone's dream, but from the many dreams that are impossible at the moment. I still believe that hold 1btc at the moment I can become a billionaire in the future.

[Kakmakr]

Part 2 :

I got off early from work today, because I could not wait to watch the rest of the latest episodes of "Watch Tower" on my new Streamer box!
I get down to "Buster" from my office on the 250th floor in record time and yell to "Buster" …."Let's go home and step on it"

The built-in Crypto wallet in the Tesla gives it's usual "Ping" again and I jump out, even before the car stopped... yelling back at "Buster" to park it. As I enter the 3 bedroom apartment, I am greeted by the robot Nanny, "Julia" and I tell her to fix me a Dry Martini and a medium to well done steak with fries.

I plump down on the sofa and I kick off my shoes, TV remote in hand. I browse over to the BitStreamer smart App and quickly search for TV Series and it pops up in seconds, prompting me for an acknowledgement to pay per second billing with Bitcoin. My wrist wallet goes "Beep" and I lay back to watch the most addictive TV series with my immersive 3D Goggles.

Life is Good! ……………….

Ps... Ignore the negativity in the thread and live the dream.

Well said.  Lamborghini is a car commodity that can well get out of reign with time.
But the essence is that what ever top model car there is

[1Referee]

Unfortunately, Tesla is too bad (starting from the product and ending with production and management issues) and Elon Musk is a doubtful and overhyped businessman.  While traditional auto concerns are making better cars.

I don't agree with that. I know a few people that do own a tesla, and they are extremely satisfied with their car, and the service they enjoy from the dealer. It's way to expensive for me, but if I had the funds, I would definitely get a Tesla myself.

Tesla is like Bitcoin in terms of people doubting it. I like how open minded and adventurous Elon Musk is. We need more people like him in the world, more people who don't blindly follow that's what's available already, but actually look to improve the world. It might not be perfect, but it's a start, and without these people things would look a whole lot different.

Imagine where we could have been right now if we had more people like Elon Musk a decade or two ago. I have nothing but respect for this legend.

[1miau]

..... My wrist wallet goes "Beep" and I lay back to watch the most addictive TV series with my immersive 3D Goggles.

Life is Good! ……………….

.....I just checked my wallet, noticed that I got my monthly salary of BTC0.000052 and was happy that our boss was so generous to increase our salary by BTC0.000001 compared to the previous month. When I bought some BTC back in 2024 when the price crashed to $15,000 per BTC everyone cried that Bitcoin was dead. After another financial crisis in 2026 the attitude changed completely and Bitcoin was considered as a better payment option.

Originally, I was planning to purchase an Antminer S48 back then but after a detailed research on Bitcointalk I noticed that it wasn't profitable to mine BTC because my electricity costs were too high so I just bought BTC0.025 directly.
The crash of 2024 was caused by Jamie Dimon because his JPM token got exposed not being backed. 
John McAfee leaked the data.

Btw John McAfee... He bought 1BTC publicly for $1 Million in the end of 2020 while Bitcoin was traded for $50,000 on exchanges to cheat his bet.

And this is the best feature of Tesla and Elon Musk. They have a huge amount of followers and they are successfully turning their faith into money.
Tesla is not getting revenue for many quarters. They can't organize a decent production because of many different management issues and they don't produce as many cars as they promise for a long time. The company is alive just because they are getting huge money from the government, banks and their huge army of followers via stock emission and pre-payment for cars, or features that were not yet even added into production.  Actually, this is why Tesla stocks are considered as speculative while traditional car makers are starting a production that works fine from the start. I don't know why I should think that Tesla will finally make a decent production and overtake the other car makers.

But there will always be the possibility of opportunity costs. If you spent on 2018, you wouldn't feel like a champion when Bitcoin reaches a 6 digit valuation.

HODL.

Please go spam someone else's thread with your off-topic drivel to feed your signature campaign post quota. The goal of this thread is for people to imagine the future application of Bitcoin and how easier our life would be with it in the future. You take a small part of what is said here and you post nonsense that are totally off-topic. <Going on about Tesla is not what this is all about>

So kindly stop posting in this thread, if you are not contributing constructively about the possible future of Bitcoin and how we will use it.

Quick suggestion for a revision on this part, I do think by the year 2030 we will less likely be using any of our remotes anymore to control our tvs. With A.I.s such as Alexa and Google Home being synchronized to a lot of home appliances already I think by that time we would be able to control our tvs via our voice command. TV Remotes by that time might just be another accessory included in the box acting as a back up if your home A.I. isn't functioning well.

Also it would be nice of you if you included the Part 2 and the next Part/s in your OP as I would definitely want to see your whole story in there.

Yea, I thought of that when I typed it, but I did not want to add the robot and also a in-house AI into the same house. <weird  > Some kind of remote will always be around, even a remote that could be multi-purposed. <One that accepts voice commands>

The reason why I do not want to put everything together in one post is simple, because first time readers of the thread, will not want to be faced with a Wall of text, when they stumble on this thread for the first time. The first post is the teaser and if they want to continue reading, they can just browse further and follow the story. <People who are not interested, can stop reading at the first post>

You also push them to read the comments of other people and their contribution to the Bitcoin story.

My bad, since you have mentioned in your story that you are being transported by an A.I. driven car I thought you would be wanting similar features at your home. For me it's not weird at all in fact I am exactly in the opposite position in the same situation of your story. If I have to choose I'll be wanting more an A.I system in my house rather than having a driver-less car transporting me, things such as the A.I. malfunctioning and intentionally crashing the car goes over my head quickly

maybe this is everyone's dream, but from the many dreams that are impossible at the moment. I still believe that hold 1btc at the moment I can become a billionaire in the future.

Well great believe. All we have to know is that holding is one good way to maximise our gains In cryptocurrency but still it's not so sure it could still go wrong

[xvids]

Well we have the same dream when I first watch the movie titled "In Time"
I thought that maybe in the future we wouldn't use Fiat we could use other type of payment ,
Then after a few years I found out about Bitcoin,
First we could just pay with our phones and maybe in the future Nano ledger or trezor could create a wristband wallet and some company would create a machine where we would just swipe our BTC wallets for the payment.
