The system has evolved, evolved, modified, but even now we use by and large the same developments that appeared in Windows 98. It will be the same with bitcoin. Bitcoin is very inert, there is no arguing with this, with changes it pulls to the last. An example is the huge transaction fees in 2018,
Bitcoin pulled to the last, even brought to the Bitcoin Cash fork , but in the end it was possible to reach a certain consensus and now the commission for transferring bitcoin does not exceed a few tens of cents. Bitcoin will change on existing mobile number list have over time, most likely it will do it slower than new cryptocurrencies, it will be inferior to new systems in additional functions, but it will certainly retain its relevance for many, many years, if not decades.
Bitcoin is like gold. This metal is inconvenient to store, difficult to exchange for fiat money, impossible to use as a means of payment in stores or sent by e-mail, difficult to mine, but gold has not lost its value for thousands of years. The same will happen with bitcoin. It is digital gold, and even if it is not used as a means of payment, it will remain an investment asset for a long time to come.
Evgeny Ponizovsky, independent financial adviser. Portfolio manager, head of the analytical department, trader:
Hypothetically, everything is possible that does not contradict the laws of physics. The only question is the probability of this or that event. The probability of the complete disappearance of bitcoin is extremely small. Another thing is that it can greatly depreciate. And some more well-made cryptocurrencies will rise in price. For example, telegram currency. Another thing: do you want to invest in cryptocurrencies?
