Bitcoin is the future depending on what you mean by that, will Bitcoin be the main currency that will be used globally by every person of the world as a payment method? NO, because the governments will not allow that, there are wars, killing and bombs just because of a little oil or drugs etc. stolen by governments from poor countries, they will do everything to protect their fiat an thus Bitcoin will never have a chance to be used as payment method unless we are talking about maybe a few centuries.
However, blockchain technology is going to be used specially in the western world because they need it, the value of bitcoin therefore can be huge in 5-10 years.
