What could be the state of Bitcoin in the future?
This is discussed all the time but I am asking this question because my elder brother said that after 2025 Bitcoin will not exist anymore and will be completely dead. He also said that after 2025 Bitcoin will not be mined so that Bitcoin will not be able to hold its own position
Having followed Bitcoin from 2017 till date makes no sense to me to start doubting Bitcoin's future looking at the past historical record and current history to start thinking about the uncertainty in the future, Looking at the state of Bitcoin right now it will be a big weight for governments around the world to ban the entire use of Bitcoin, soon it will get to a stage where government will have no option than to start adopting Bitcoin due to increasing demand.
To conclude I see brighter future for Bitcoin and not uncertainty.
Bitcoin has passed the stage of being doubtful about its future. I have no doubt that bitcoin will stay with us for atleast the next 30yrs. I said 30yrs because nobody can predict the future successfully, many technologies will come and change things, so when try to predict the future we shouldn't go too far, incase things may change.
Or maybe it will stay with us until we reached 'when almost all the bitcoin has been mined', or at least 99% of it. Currently out of 21 million we are in the 19 million ++, so in the next 2-3 halvings, we might get a picture of it. The last 1% will be mined until 2140 give or take, and so we will not see that in our life time. So that will be a good gauge how bitcoin, it is can survived or not.
