Can Bitcoin survive the next generation?

[purple_sparkles]

The question in the title can only be answered by humans. No institution, no law, your regulators, or other disasters. Humans must working together, than they can keep Bitcoin maybe alive “forever” (I cant imagine infinity, and I wont live that long). It probably started with human activity, even though CZ said that Bitcoin was invented by an AI from the future. And in the end, it will also be controlled by humans. So far, nothing has been stop Bitcoin, and I believe that will continue in the future.

CZ is having a lot of fun this days, Bitcoin wasn't even invented, it was a creation of different investions. Bitcoin uses hash functions, it was already a creation, it used scripts which are already an invention, it used encryption which was already an invention.

Bitcoin is rather a creative work of a smart man and that man is Satoshi Nakomoto. I also don't agree with the AI thing else I'm not sure if we are going to be looking for a solution for quantum solutions without compromising the network.

Everything will depend on how important Bitcoin is to global authorities. As long as it is needed, it will continue to be developed and popularized. The most important thing is that the goal should not be solely about achieving total control, but also about providing a way to solve various financial problems and crises in states, as economists mention, so that economies can survive and function as smoothly as possible without causing too much pain for citizens.

The brilliance of BTC is to combine what's already there in the greatest system of all time

Those debates are nonsense. It's proven that Bitcoin can stand the test of time and was able to overcome the hardest periods of time like those dark days when people haven't heard of it. And if they do, it's mostly from the dark web and other illegal activities. But this time, it's all about how the mainstream have adopted it, the big financial institutions and even countries have an idea now to invest on it.

It is non sense as from 2009 to 2025, how many generations exposed to Bitcoin and actually participated in Bitcoin community and market. I think it is two generations at least if not up to three generations and if Bitcoin has been successfully survived through two or three generations, it has been strong enough to move onwards to more future generations.

With time, Lindy effect will make Bitcoin stronger and has better survivalability.

This Lindy effect works with other things and will work with Bitcoin too.

I haven't heard of that effect. And so based on that effect, it's going to be of good use for the next 50 years again. So, we should expect more from it and that's why with all of the test that it has been through, FUD, attacks and spams. It remained to be as good and strong as it is than ever. Its uptime has been there for so long and that's why it'll be hard to put it down and now that bigger investors are here as well, they won't just allow it to be down too.

Bitcoin has survived hundreds of setbacks and we can hope that it will survive in the future as well. Over time, people are becoming more aware of the use of Bitcoin and are more encouraged to invest in it. There are some special reasons behind this. The main feature of Bitcoin is that it is decentralized, that is no specific country or government can control it. Through Bitcoin exchange, there is no need for a third party, and transactions can be made very easily and quickly, which is not possible with any other medium. Researchers believe that investing in Bitcoin can protect against future inflation because its supply is limited. Currently, big businessmen are very enthusiastic about investing in Bitcoin, so from my point of view, Bitcoin will rise higher with the change of time and the whole world will become more aware of its use.

Bitcoin was not here with us couple of years back but Bitcoin is here so can it survive decades like normal money?

The surprising thing is that one bitcoin was created or introduced in 2009 many people thought that bitcoin is not going to stay that long because of so many attacks by different countries government, but it happens today that bitcoin overcome all those allegations those litigations against the existence of Bitcoin, so if bitcoin will be above 14 years of existence that means bitcoin have come to stay and I don't think that is possible for it to be removed out of digital market because of the traffic it has caused based on investment understanding of people from different geographical environment about cryptocurrency

Since Bitcoin is not currently being influenced by any third party or individual, i.e. it is not being controlled by a third party, it is not likely to be destroyed very easily. But if for some reason the creator of Bitcoin becomes active and damages Bitcoin, then it may not go to the next generation. However, the way Bitcoin is becoming a strategic reserve for large companies, we certainly believe that it will flow from one generation to the next.

I believe that Bitcoin will easily outlive all further, even very fast cryptocurrencies, because even if they are technologically excellent with very small commissions, they will still always have some team of developers who can be subject to attacks or that they themselves will want to scam their coins.  
And bitcoin is digital gold, because Satoshi will never scam it, it is reliable as a Swiss watch. Therefore, society easily turned a blind eye to such unpleasant moments as the introduction of Ordinals with a large commission.

I agree, demand for BTC only becomes bigger, and there is little reason for it to become smaller.

Institutions crave what drives the trends, has all the capabilities to bring profit, while also being the best and most stable coin out there in the space.

If for anything, I don't think the survival of Bitcoin is longer in doubt, it is the degree of its dominance that’s up for discussion. When it first appeared, it faced the harshest resistance you could imagine. Bitcoin was dismissed as a scam, attacked by governments, ridiculed by mainstream institutions and doubted even by ordinary people. Yet, through all that, Bitcoin not only survived but grew stronger.

Today, many of the same voices that once called it worthless are now investing in it. Nations are drafting policies around it. Financial giants are offering Bitcoin products. That tells me one thing and that's Bitcoin has already crossed the most difficult stage, the stage of rejection.

If it could weather those storms in its infancy, then its future across generations is almost certain. Personally, I think Bitcoin will not only survive, it will be valued far more significantly than we can currently imagine.

To be fair, the future is unpredictable, we can't guarantee anything. Bitcoin could become something bigger than we imagine or soon be replaced by something better, anything is possible.

Just because bitcoin has been around for 16 years doesn't mean it will continue to exist and thrive for decades and centuries to come. It’s all a mystery, especially since Bitcoin is a result of technological development and as we all know, technological development is happening at a very fast pace. So it's hard to say anything in advance.

Like gold, it has been around for thousands of years and plays an extremely important role in the world, but many people even doubt its existence in the coming years. Bitcoin is a digital asset that is only 16 years old so nothing can be said for sure.

Imo, with all the parties seeing more pros than cons, we can speculate that the future will be bright as long as there no harsh pushbacks regarding the adoption of BTC.. which is unlikely, in my opinion, because it's already on a good note and brings everybody opportunities to gain something from it.
