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.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

..... 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.  Roll Eyes
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. Tongue

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.

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. Cool

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.


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. Cool

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.  Angry

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.
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  Roll Eyes> 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.

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

How about you put a link below, after your first story. Something like > My future story - Part: 2

It will help interested readers to find your post easily imo.

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  Sad

If you want the thread to be interactive then this is the right way to go, people who are interested and want to be part of your story would certainly love the notifications pinging on their email looking if there is something new to the thread.

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.
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

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.
