Like I said, Whitney Webb and Edward Snowden say some scary stuff about the possible future of Bitcoin, mostly about loss of privacy (and thus, indirect government control and surveillance).
the possibility of the future may or may not happen. so for now just enjoy your life with the Bitcoins you have (if you have them).
actually, there is no need to be afraid of anything that will happen in the future. the reality is that currently, many people are benefiting from Bitcoin. Its users are increasing and its popularity is increasing. Maybe some beginners are afraid it will make them panic. and that's what frustrates many novice investors.
No one really holds what will be the future of bitcoin, or it won’t have any brighter future instead. So I have to agree with you that we should not dwell so much with the future of bitcoin but focus and enjoy what we have at the present. If it’s going to live for another decade, that would be a lot better, but if it’s not, then we have no choice but to accept the reality that bitcoin is just only good for a single decade. What’s more important is that bitcoin has provided us a lot of benefits at the present, and we are very grateful for it. But when it comes to its future, that will remain uncertain for all of us here.
