Imagine how long Bitcoin will be around

[Die_empty]

Bitcoin is still generally new, just over 10 years old, it's still considered to be in early phase and the luckiest ones ones are those who took advantage since the early days. Just to imagine, I had bought Bitcoin when it costed $200, I wish I still had those, but they are long gone. I can't safely claim that $100,000 is considered a price that's feasible for the average person, nor can I confidently claim that Bitcoin is going to surpass $1M. I find this speculation extremely overexaggerated for the time being. I've seen many people comment about it, but I personally can't believe it just yet.

When people come with discussions about how they are late in discovering or investing in Bitcoin, I just think it's unnecessary. Just as you mentioned, Bitcoin is still in its early stages, and it also has the potential to keep growing as adoption increases. Most people wouldn't have believed that Bitcoin would get to $100k this year. You would have been tagged a fanatic if you predicted $100k a few years ago. That's why I am not doubting that in my lifetime, the coin will hit $1m. The focus now should be how to keep accumulating and hodling because the future looks bright.

Problem is that most people correlate "early/late" with bitcoins price. But that is wrong, even when BTC was around $3k, many were saying "oh i'm too late for this, i wish i bought sooner", but reality is, whatever the price, people were always saying this shit.

Today, bitcoin hovers around $110k. Is it late? Maybe. But if tomorrow it goes to $1m, then it wasn't too late.

That sentiments usually came for people who have less knowledge about Bitcoin and they also doubt about how long does Bitcoin will stay.

They provably won't think about those things if they help their selves to gather lots of information and learn from past also the current event happening on Bitcoin. Also for sure that they can conclude that there's no late entries on Bitcoin since any position is good for them to start. Bitcoin would provably pump more and current price today will be just another what if to those people who doubt especially if Bitcoin would pump and reach for more digits in future.

Those of you thinking Bitcoin is going extinct i think you should have a rethink
Before now a lot of people thought by now Bitcoin would have gone but reverse is the case. Bitcoin has been flourishing for years now.

Countries have started using it as their legal tender that's to show you how Bitcoin has improved and it will continue to improve

[Zigabel]

Bitcoin has achieved for many people to own it, do transactions every day and appreciate it as a store of value, like it is known from Gold currently. Bitcoin is getting more and more accepted as a reliable store of value and it’s very important for Bitcoin to be in a good position to be an attractive store of value.
Many points are in favor of Bitcoin to be a good and reliable store of value even right now and it will get better over time anyways.
Just imagine when Bitcoin is 150 years old, where its price will be and how many people will possess any Bitcoin.

We are still very early!

Bitcoin at 150 is really a far future that we can not exactly tell what we should be expecting by then but i believe by then all of the Bitcoin that is must have been mined and Bitcoin must have passed some very far block that we are yet to anticipate just yet and one thing i see as also almost very sure will be that by then Bitcoin may have gotten to a price where it will have attained a far more stable sustainability where by economic situation and some other factors may not be affecting it and then again it  may have gotten to that point where investing in it will just mean an absolute store for value and sustenance if the value of your investment without the fear of decline at any point where you will have to panic as to the price of your assets due to volatility because by then volatility will not be have too much effect on Bitcoin to the point that you will have to have your assets devalued or a period of time before the period of you making profits again.

By then most of us will not get to witnessed all that will be with Bitcoin as at that time but we believe it would have gained even more acceptance and adaptation across the world by then much more than it is currently and may even completely become the legal tender of certain countries and at same time the store of value for which we have always known it to be in this times.

We can only imagine how long Bitcoin can be around because it is very difficult to imagine but we can give it a try.
Right now, Bitcoin is only 15 years old after it was invented. In 15 years, Bitcoin has achieved a price gain from a few cents when it started to 107k USD right now. It’s a really big price increase and because Bitcoin is very limited, it is likely to increase in price further.

I think the increase in the value of Bitcoin so far has been very fast, and this is why I think Bitcoin is a very influential revolution in many sectors, I even see Bitcoin being used as one of the campaign support tools (Cmiiw). I consider Bitcoin to be the latest version of gold, or Gold 2.0, and the difference is the limited amount, and it can even be easily sent to all parts of the world quickly.

Regarding what you said about the next 150 years regarding the value of Bitcoin itself, I don't think we need to wait that long, I'm sure in the next 20 or 25 years Bitcoin will be even higher, and I believe at that time Bitcoin will reach $1M or even more, and one of the supporting factors at that time is the increasingly widespread adoption of Bitcoin, both in various institutions or even countries, for example even in my country there is a plan that Bitcoin will become a store of value, even though a few years ago, or a year ago, Bitcoin had not been glanced at or was not yet well known here, but in fact Bitcoin is increasingly mushrooming.

[jcojci]

I can not think too far how will the price in the next 100-150 years. Maybe the price can stay more than $100 million or even more. You don't have to wait if you want to investing in Bitcoin because your decision now will make your future change or still the same. In 15 years, Bitcoin reached above $105k so you can imagine how high Bitcoin price will be in the next 25-50 years later.

If you don't start investing now, you will miss the chance to buy Bitcoin at a low price. I consider the price now still low reminding the chance for Bitcoin price to increase so high. But the decision will be yours and you need to think what you need to do.

[Cityhunter34]

I understand you and like your topic but what I do not understand is the reason behind the 150 years projection for Bitcoin. 150 years is quite a long time that non of us will be alive by then. I will appreciate if you predict or project something reliable or relatable.

Gone are the days many people were expecting bitcoin to meet its waterloo within a few years because they thought it's a ponzi scheme. But today, it is clear that bitcoin is the future if finance. It will be here for many decades and it's only going off if it's relegated by a better financial technology and not that it will fail.

Actually I think is just an imagination that OP is trying to do. Because projecting such thought in Bitcoin would never in any way be that easy for someone to just predict it correctly. Though, 150 years is not this generation again, that is to say that before then nobody in this Bitcointalk forum would be able to withness it. Because if am not mistaking most of us here are close to 40 years and above, so having such thought in Bitcoin is not advisable. because already Bitcoin have a great future ahead.

Just imagine when Bitcoin is 150 years old, where its price will be and how many people will possess any Bitcoin.

I'm not even thinking Bitcoin for the next 50 years, the world is changing, so is the technology, we never know what's going to come next, I'm not saying there will be better than Bitcoin, but what we have now is something beyond our comprehension 40 years ago, I will just enjoy Bitcoin in my lifetime and let things takes care of itself

The future of Bitcoin is what we don't know but we can't take the part of endorsing Bitcoin if it won't yield better things in the future. Bitcoin is understood for its longevity to administer profits, the more investors trooping into Bitcoin, the more years it lasts. I feel that Bitcoin won't die until the last mining is done, year 2140 till the last block is mined, consider our investments in safe hands. In a short time from now, Bitcoin will be competing with Gold in terms of market cap, as long as Gold remains am confident that nothing less than 100+ years Bitcoin will remain as well.

Well, that's why Bitcoin has been called as "Digital Gold" because of how many sees Bitcoin as a store of value. Some might say that Bitcoin must be used based on what's been written in the whitepaper. Bitcoin must be used as a currency where we can use it to buy things. Well, we can still use it, but majority of Bitcoin holders are storing it and treating it like an asset because they believe that if they will hold those Bitcoins, they will make more money as it appreciates hence, holding it instead of spending it.

I can't imagine what Bitcoin would be 150 years from now. Yes, Bitcoin is on the adoption stage still, but the reality is, we don't even know if Bitcoin will still exists after 150 years. With how the technology is evolving on a rapid pace, we might see a new cryptocurrency that's far better than Bitcoin in the future. We don't know the future, and heck, we don't even know that Bitcoin will grow like this in just a small amount of time.

Well, compared to other asset classes out there, we really are still early.

Bitcoin has been bullish considering from the time of invention but imagining where it can be in the next 150 years is what I can not relate and I dive in with your sentiment about no one knowing what the future can be without any validation of certainty even while we can be pretty much positive about what Bitcoin has to offer that doesn't change the fact that no one can be sure about the future, it will make more sense if we can actually make certain realistic assumptions or imagination because Bitcoin in 150 years shouldn't be what we should be kicking our head out because it is quite a long period of time.

[Ultegra134]

It's hard to imagine where it is right now, where it has been before. But that's the reality and this opens the idea that Bitcoin's skyrocketing is unstoppable and it's going to the ceiling as if there is no limit. I also wish that the early Bitcoins that I've got were kept but they're no longer here but that's fine. As long as we have kept what we've got right now is important that we'll be firmly holding them for the next years to come. And we understand why people are giving exaggerated prices for their speculation and that's because how they've seen Bitcoin moved, so that's pretty much it is why we're seeing more higher prices on what they think it will reach soon.

I believe we all think of the unlimited possibilities if we had taken advantage of the early days; although I wish I had the 0.50 BTC I had in 2014, I'm not looking back. There's no limit to how low it can go as well. Bitcoin could also plummet for whatever reason and we would all be screwed. The world has been quite unstable and unpredictable the past few years and anything can happen, this also applies to Bitcoin, whether we like it or not.

When people come with discussions about how they are late in discovering or investing in Bitcoin, I just think it's unnecessary. Just as you mentioned, Bitcoin is still in its early stages, and it also has the potential to keep growing as adoption increases. Most people wouldn't have believed that Bitcoin would get to $100k this year. You would have been tagged a fanatic if you predicted $100k a few years ago. That's why I am not doubting that in my lifetime, the coin will hit $1m. The focus now should be how to keep accumulating and hodling because the future looks bright.

We still don't know what's our position in Bitcoin's timeline, although it looks like we're still in relatively early stages, we could as well as be wrong. If Bitcoin has a life expectancy of 100 years, yes, it's still early, but what if it's only 20 or 30 years?

[reagansimms]

Bitcoin has proven its resilience against all attacks and negative issues spread by parties who consider Bitcoin as the main enemy in their business, the ability to survive until now allows Bitcoin to continue to be the subject of speculation and innovation in the global financial world. How long Bitcoin will last is largely dependent on external factors such as government regulation, market acceptance and the development of alternative technologies.

Its unique design allows Bitcoin to become a global payment method once all Bitcoins are mined because miners will seek incentives through transaction fees to continue supporting the Bitcoin network. However this is just the beginning, we are still very far from the middle period, I would rather prepare than have to think about how long Bitcoin will last.

[SuperBitMan]

Bitcoin is a very good asset and I believe Bitcoin still have a long way to go, anyone who is investing in Bitcoin should take it more serious and can also open a Bitcoin investment for his or her children because the future of Bitcoin is very big.
There was a time when bitcoin was not up to $50 and now Bitcoin is $108k and it will grow more higher as time goes on, when it comes to bitcoin is just all about time and that is why I'm just accumulating and holding for a long term.
There where people who never believed bitcoin will reach this point or price, I know of someone who refused to invest in Bitcoin when Bitcoin was still $1k and right now his regretting his action, right now Bitcoin is $108k and some set of people are still saying Bitcoin won't grow more than that.
150 years from now I don't think people can buy Bitcoin easily anymore because people must have bought it and just holding and refusing to sell.

When bitcoin gets to 150 years old, none of us in this forum now will be alive but bitcoin will be booming, perhaps those who gave bitcoin to their loved ones would have created the world's billionaires by then. This is why I think that the greatest transfer of wealth will happen with bitcoin because at that time we will be talking about 1 bitcoin at $10 million or more. BY then all the bitcoin would have been mine or close to being mined and this will make bitcoin something to treasure.

150 years is a long time, and of course we can't celebrate it because we won't live that long, the third or fourth generation of us will celebrate it. If we look at the bitcoin system, then bitcoin will definitely reach that year, although we don't know if there will be an asset that can beat bitcoin, but what is certain is that I always believe that a civilization is always long-lived, it takes a long time to fight the bitcoin technology civilization that is currently developing, especially since many countries are discussing adopting it. But what is certain is that as long as we are still alive, keep buying bitcoin because bitcoin is a future asset and it is not impossible that bitcoin will reach the price you said and bitcoin will become increasingly rare. Bitcoin's journey is currently only 17 years old, this is just the beginning. Bitcoin's journey is still very long, if you look at the system offered by bitcoin.

Bitcoin has begin a wonderful journey which even give a encouraging people’s that has never purchased bitcoin before to buy, because in future it can increase more value than the current price and that’s why a lot of people’s that have been invested in Bitcoin for a long period of time take it serious more than before; as they know that is a good asset.

In all over the world the Bitcoin has become a best and reliable coin, that’s why everyone has been buying and holding the coins for over a years now as they knows that it can definitely be a great thing for the future; when the Bitcoin was around $100k most of saying that it will not pass that amount. But indeed the price has passed that amount over 2 months ago, which was a great move for the bitcoin market.

Not only should you think again if your thinking is still like that about Bitcoin, but you also have to deepen your knowledge about Bitcoin so that your own thinking can be broader about Bitcoin and no longer think like that about Bitcoin. Because with the growth that continues to occur in Bitcoin and also the development of users in each country who already like Bitcoin, it should be proof that Bitcoin will never be extinct in this world. And apart from countries that have adopted Bitcoin, at this time there are already many companies that have taken steps like that by adopting Bitcoin so that it is actually quite difficult for Bitcoin to become extinct.

...Just imagine when Bitcoin is 150 years old, where its price will be and how many people will possess any Bitcoin...

All of this would make at least some difference if we could verify our predictions in 150 years. But in any case, the best thing you can do for your descendants is to put a couple hundred dollars in bitcoin into a new wallet, which will probably make your descendants top the Forbes rating.

We can't tell what will happen to Bitcoin in the next 150 years. Maybe the price will increase further and become more stable. But what we are certain about is that almost all of us here will be dead by then and will not have the chance to enjoy what Bitcoin would become by that time. For now, let us keep investing for ourselves and our next of kin. As each day passes, let's embrace the beauty of Bitcoin and let the future decide for itself. Bitcoin has come to stay and we still have a long way to go with Bitcoin.

Today, bitcoin hovers around $110k. Is it late? Maybe. But if tomorrow it goes to $1m, then it wasn't too late.

Instead of thinking we’re being late or early, let’s just resort into thinking we’re just right on time, I guess that is way more satisfying to hear. No need to compare the past, present and future price, and make some kinda regrets. Just buy and hold, that’s the most important thing.

Now, when ask how long bitcoin will be around, none of us can really tell. But one thing is certain, it will always stay for how long we want if we keep doing the right thing with bitcoin. The answer is on us, not on bitcoin itself.
