Can Bitcoin Thrive??

[Zigabel]

This is a really generic question. But I wanted to Ask that Can Bitcoin really thrive?? Can it thrive in a world where The "Ultimate" powers like a currency which can be Manipulated, taken interest from, which is in their control, but Bitcoin is the opposite of it. So if it doesn't work in "their" interest will they let it thrive in the world?? Won't they show it as bad?? Won't they try to take it in control and Manipulate the price like Trump is Doing. And what steps should we take to stop that from happening.

May attention is most drawn to the part where you mentioned it working in their favour, Bitcoin doesn't work for or against anyone, it is very important you take note of that, it mostly puts out opportunities for everyone to use and be profitable, I can also say that if Bitcoin will work fir or against you, it is mostly determined by you and not Bitcoin it self, it could be that is the understanding the US government got and decided to create a Reserve on it, and has other countries, so Bitcoin is just an independent entity that you can explore to the best of your advantage if you have the proper knowledge on how to follow through with Bitcoin.

Normally everyone will develop that quest for control at a point in time, for a digital asset as innovative as this, they would want to see how possible they could gain control over it because if they do, it will add more magnitude to their economic strengths that they can wheel at any time, personally I will advise you bother less on all of that and bother more on how you can get Bitcoin in your own advantage.

History should teach you that Bitcoin is already thriving, check the price it was when Satoshi created it and compare it to now then you'll see how valuable it has become. So yes, Bitcoin is thriving and has the potential of doing better than this. Bitcoin would reward those who hold it for lomg as the value increases which is why those who believe in it should prioritise long-term holding cause Bitcoin would still get better than this in the future.

When I saw this thread I laugh because I understand where it was headed to, this question has be answered with another question like is Bitcoin not thriving, if we can remember the price of bitcoin in the last 10 years, such question will not be raised, an asset that rose from form as low as what it was then to $100k+ drop a bit and upsurge again before it's current price, I don't think anyone can conveniently say that Bitcoin isn't thriving, if I may ask, has Bitcoin drop to the level that people will say we don't know what to do again, and even though it does tomorrow, people will definitely premise on the records that be to buy very large, I agree with you that long term is the goals nothing more than that.

Just because fiat exists doesn't mean that we are going to see it win over bitcoin and governments look like they just simply do not care. They know that bitcoin will not replace fiat and that is why they do what they do and I think it's clear that we are going to see bitcoin be allowed everywhere because we have seen it be allowed everywhere so far, so why change their opinion of it suddenly.

Have we lived in a world where governments hate centralization so far? Why would they let it be so far but change later? I am not sure that we could get any inside information on this because we may assume something on this and we are not in a position to know the exact stand of governments on this, right?

Govs just set up mechanisms to regulate and monetize BTC and crypto overall - if it's on their watch, it's 'kay to do It always is this way..

Considering that the governments of many countries are deeply entangled in corruption, bitcoin can actually be a very convenient and beneficial asset for them, since it allows them to hide illegally obtained funds. That’s why I think it’s unlikely they will try to block it in any serious way. As for regulation, they use various mechanisms to control the population and their finances, but they avoid passing laws that would interfere with their own schemes and manipulations. When it comes to fiat money, I see a trend where countries are trying to shift toward digital currencies while gradually moving away from cash. I honestly wouldn’t want that to happen, because it could lead to global control, and it is definitely not better for each individual person.

Bad for the people, good for the ones being on top of them.. I agree with you, yet, there is not much we can do about it.

What we can apply is distancing from such entities and not to use our coins on their turf, where they can dictate you something and toward your custody too...

Bitcoin has grown incredibly rapidly since its inception. You can see its price history since it was first traded on exchanges.
However, if you're referring to growth like saving fiat currency in a bank and earning interest, of course not.
But isn't it that the longer you hold it, the price increase you get is like interest? Its value can even far exceed bank interest if you had deposited money in a bank, which can even decrease due to taxes and service fees.

Even whatever interest amount that one gets after holding their money in banks for the long term is not enough to fight against the increasing rate of inflation, and at the same time, money is also getting devalued. That is why I personally believe that it is better to keep investing, saving money, or spare money in some good assets rather than holding them in banks for the long term.

As banks offer nothing but they raise their own empire and business using our money. And as a comparison to this, if we look at the historic behaviour bitcoin can offer a lot as compared to the banking system. This is just my point of view on this, not any advice. Well, what do you think about it? DYOR!

You cannot stop some celebrity figure from manipulating prices, but the correction also happens quickly.

Bitcoin is already thriving. I have seen it in 2015 for start and in 2026 it has grown from a niche cyberpunk currency to something that everyone around the globe is talking about.

Big companies have been investing into bitcoin secretly, people have seen its use case, all these things show the future of bitcoin to be bright.

You can say that I am bullish, of course I am, because the evidence is in its history.

Bitcoin so far has grown from its inception to the present day. And since its inception Bitcoin has never disappointed in terms of performance. The adoption of Bitcoin has also spread to every country. Perhaps the most powerful forces are trying to manipulate or even dominate Bitcoin from all sides. But they have not been able to do so until now. Even if someone tries to control or even manipulate the price of Bitcoin they will not be able to do so. And if they try to control the supply of Bitcoin it will only prove that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly superior. There will be many people lining up to buy or even hold Bitcoin. I personally believe that many people are already aware of how important it is to invest in Bitcoin. And that will make Bitcoin grow even faster. We can see all the signs.

I wonder why there are still questions like this, don't you see the History of Bitcoin as a whole?
are you just looking at the current price? You should be aware that from the beginning of Bitcoin's creation until now, it has experienced a very rapid increase.

If you expect interest when holding Bitcoin of course it won't happen, because Bitcoin is not an interest-based instrument like savings or deposits. Bitcoin value grows over time due to adoption, scarcity and trust, not because any party promises a fixed return.
If the mindset still wants regular interest, it means that from the beginning it has misunderstood what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is more about storing long-term value and sovereignty over its own assets. Short-term price fluctuations are natural and have occurred many times throughout its history. So if you only focus on today's price without looking at the big context, it's only natural that a question arises that has actually been answered by the history of Bitcoin itself.
