My opinion,
A decade from now I think Bitcoin would have surpassed all expectations, technological advancements would also be a contributing factor .
I see Bitcoin contributing massively to the world economy, and a massive adoption by both individuals and institutions too.
Here's a break down of how I expect Bitcoin to be 10 year's from now.
1. Regulatory clarity: in the next couple of years, I would personally expect that the government would establish some form of regulation that provides Bitcoin a platform that enables it grow and provides stability.
2.competition: this might seem off , but I think I kind of see a competition in the nearest future, I feel like an alt coin might also have an upsurge that would seem as though competition for Bitcoin.
3. Bitcoin price: maybe ten years from now Bitcoin could be valuable at a million dollar per coin, whatever be the case we all know Bitcoin will only soar.
In conclusion, nobody knows the fate of Bitcoin in the next couple of years, but we all know there's still a long way to go.
There's a bright light at the end of the tunnel, and it Bitcoin we still haven't reached that tunnel end.
I believe Bitcoin will skyrocket within this interval of time but surpassing all expectations is what I'm confused at or will I say I don't understand what you mean by that because I know different people have different expectations so it is not possible for Bitcoin to surpass everyone expectations even though it will surge.
Your first point can only come to pass if there is a change of Government before that time and not just a change of Government but a Government that understand and believe in digital currency (Bitcoin).
Even though there would be a speculation about an altcoins or shitcoin that will come and competite with Bitcoin, well I don't see that speculation coming to pass in this generation maybe not even next generation to come because the value of Bitcoin is something I can really explain and that alts or shitcoin, will it be rising while Bitcoin will be dropping? Because I know Bitcoin to be a volatile asset which can rise or fall hence, I don't believe that speculation till it happened.
Bitcoin has a great potential yes, but that doesn't mean it can hit a million dollars in ten years time, I won't take this one as speculation rather this is an over exaggeration perhaps we should focus on our Bitcoin accumulation and holding so that we don't mislead ourselves because of too much hope and hype.
