Yes ofcourse it can be another payment method in the future, actually i believe there will be more than one

The Bitcoin becoming the new worlds payments system and it has just started. The world will love the system i believe and will use it, all over the world. But in 2050 there will be many more i am quite sure of it..
It's a very interesting food for thoughts to imagine what money systems could look like in 30 years time in the future.... I'm sure it will be surprising and very interesting!
