Title: Crypto is not the future, it is the present
Post by: KryptoBull on January 24, 2024, 10:51:27 PM
We often compare crypto to Internet, and believe that with growing acceptance, crypto is the inevitable future. However, I remember that in the past people also said that "Internet is the future", meaning that in the future, using internet is inevitable. I think Internet became really popular in 2000s[1], and services on the internet started to become popular like texting or searching for news. At that time, we knew that "Internet is the present"!

A few years ago, especially since 2017, we were saying that “Crypto is the future”. Now, dozens of companies accept BTC payments[2], large companies store BTC, investment funds have BTC Spot ETF products, governments store BTC[3], BTC is accepted officially received in El Salvador[4]… All this is even bigger than what happened with Internet in 2000s.

So I think, we should ignore the concept of "Crypto is the future", we should say that "Crypto is the present".

And you, what do you think, please share your views:

Crypto for future is one of hopes
Crypto for present is what we are doing right now and what we are preparing for the future.

We definitely understand how the crypto world has developed so far, especially sharing things related to Bitcoin. We already know how Bitcoin was in the past and how Bitcoin is today as well as our various predictions and hopes for Bitcoin in the future.

 It is natural that we should think about the crypto that we currently own or live as part of the future. The group is something that can still continue to develop and what we determine at this time is the stage of the process of what will exist in the future. So it will depend on us whether we believe in crypto or not and how we apply that belief to cryptocurrency.

Do you think we have reached the crypto era?
Not yet, we are still on cryptocurrency's early stage. We are still far from that.

You think crypto is the future, or crypto is the present?
For me it is the same because I am currently into crypto and could possibly be still into crypto in the future.

If crypto is the future, when will that future come?
No one knows when but as long as technological advancements evolve to a much more futuristic approach we've seen on scifi movies then I think that is it. Crypto adoption needs to be like 80%-90% worldwide to attain that  level.

You have just generalized the term but did not get the true meaning mate..

When we say it is the future meaning this moves up to the future , it is the running position mate and not just for a certain time or period.

Yeah Bitcoin maybe the present but also this is the future , so lets not make this an issue instead we are all here to support bitcoin to make it to the future.

OP, simply put ...
When we say something is the future, it doesn't mean that it is not existing in the present but rather it means that it's potential is yet to be harnessed. Which means there's more to that project in the future than the present.

Even the internet is still for the future. Years ago who would have thought about web3 but today, it is here and more things will definitely emanate from it in the future. So, cryptocurrency is the future.

In my opinion, if crypto is not the future then what I am doing today is no differences in the other stuff that we used to do for a living. If people who joined in the crypto world think that it's not future then sooner they will get out of crypto. Future is the reason why today we keep on grinding because it's motivate us to do hard things. Future is what we aim for that's why we all are here in crypto accumulating coins and tokens, manifesting price to increase multiple times. If people don't see crypto as our future, then probably crypto will not interest them.

Maybe we can say that crypto is present because, in my few years in this business field, I have seen that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency has helped a lot of people around the world. I am one of those who have been helped because it is one of my main sources of income at the moment, and I have been able to invest the assets that I have made because of doing crypto trading.

So, cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin, is becoming even more popular, especially now and in the future, because of the potential that cryptocurrency has, which of course still needs to be researched so as not to make a mistake in which crypto to choose. So we are done with the idea that crypto is the future because it is currently being taken advantage of by communities because crypto helps them for good or bad reasons.

1. I don't think crypto has become a reality, because we still cannot use crypto comfortably in the economy. Paying with crypto can lead to the risk of imprisonment.
2. Crypto should continue to be the future, a potential market and can generate great profits from belief in the value of blockchain technology.
3. I think we will need another 5-10 years to see crypto become an indispensable part of life, as Internet right now!

If we said crypto is not future, but the present.
I think It's true
Because we didn't know what will happen at the coming future.
But as technology, I think crypto is one of future technology.
Maybe for now crypto didn't accept as payment method, But I think It will be...

If it is true, why you invest in crypto?
When we invest in crypto, it means we believe our future on the crypto coins.
You mustn't choose Bitcoin if you don't believe in Bitcoin future, right?

I can agree that no certainty about future. But we must believe in the future of crypto if we invest in crypto coins. It is not, we just gamble our future with crypto.

I wouldn't say that crypto is the present because we are still on the adoption stage and so many people have not gotten to the crypto space yet. Why I say that crypto is the future because let's use bitcoin as an example, some countries are yet to accept crypto as legal and some people don't even want to buy the idea of crypto because it is still new and strange to them. If I am investing in bitcoin to hodli for a long term for profit. It is in the future that I will reap my profit from my investment. Old people are sceptical about accepting crypto, and as time passes, these old ones too will pass away and the new generation will be left to deal with crypto as they like because crypto is mainly for the youth. In the future we will have high rate of adoption compare to now. Imagine then that the internet just came out, a lot of people can do without it. But as time passes by the internet became something that is as important like our basic needs, because there are many opportunities on the internet to make money these days. So this is how gradually crypto will become part of the world with time and everyone will have interest in it. This is because there is a say that 'if you cannot beat them, you join them.

Crypto is the present and the future. It is even the past.  In my case 2012 to now 2024 and hopefully for the rest of my life plus 100 more year after that.

Many people have been in crypto for more than 10 years a lot of us. In the thousands.

At the past I have gained many profits from crypto.
till now, at the present I still buy more several potential coins for hold.
I did, I invested for my future.
Many people here think about the future, It's the reason why they invest in crypto.
It's just opinion about crypto, because I believe crypto will have great future.

We live in a time of crypto, and it is our present that will shape our future. Our actions in the present will determine the course of our future. Therefore, in order to have a promising future in cryptocurrency, it would be wise to make the most of our present, which is the digital era. As they say, "make haste while the sun shines" to avoid had I know in the future comes at last, of missed opportunities to invest in crypto

Agree, my friend. Crypto is not only about the present but it is also about the past and future. We can gain money now because we learn from our mistakes in the past. And we invest in crypto now is for our future. So, crypto can't be a part from the past and future.

Sure, we must take a research to by some coins that we are holding now. It is impossible if we can have some potential coins without a research. Although we don't know the future of the coins but we believe with their potential. We can determine it from some criteria, right?

Yes, Crypto is the present but it will make good impact on our future as well. Those who invested in Bitcoin when its value was still under $100 are now having a great present. And those who are now investing in Bitcoin and some other good coins will most probably have a good future.

So, I would also say that crypto is the present and as soon as we start investing in it and learning it, we are getting close to a better future. Our today's investment can make our future better.

Absolutely yes , crypto will make good our future, if we are investing the right coins at the right time.
This is what you can do at the present. 
Collect as many coins as possible at the present and hold for the future.
Crypto is the future technology, for now we just buy and hold.
Our task is to prepare a better future for our lives

      -   It cannot be denied that cryptocurrency is providing a lot of help or assistance to most communities in different parts of the world. This is the reality that is happening today. Although the majority still does not understand Bitcoin or cryptocurrency,

But all or most crypto communities also believe in and rely on the holdings of other cryptos that can provide nice savings to other holders in the future, depending on what happens in the future.

The very correct view is that crypto for the long term and the future, which we can invest in from now on. because future development will bring to its holders something that can be expected to support life that can be sustainable, because from the start they were willing to do it more wisely on the crypto.
The development of crypto will continue, and I agree that crypto is providing a lot of help to most of its community as well as those connected all over the world.
Gradually, everyone will know and get to know crypto more closely and hold it as an investment because it is very profitable.
Always relying on crypto ownership is a very correct way.​

Of course, I understand what you are trying to point in here. The thing is that cryptocurrency is already here and we can already use it and enjoy it in many ways. Talking about time, everything is actually the present as we can no more relieve the past and the future still remains unknown. In the past many years we talked on the future, that future is NOW. However, it does not mean that crypto will not be into the future as it will continue to exist and even expand globally albeit so many challenges along the way. Into the future, we are expecting a more robust, more inclusive and more mainstream cryptocurrency industry as more and more people will be exposed into it and adopt it in their own ways and capacities. Hopefully, Bitcoin will be leading the expansion even though I would say the concentration will be as a store of value more like the digital gold and whose value will really skyrocket as there can be countries that will include it in their reserve currencies. Indeed, the future is TODAY, here and now though it never stops here as humanity continues for the search of something new, something better and something also profitable.

In my opinion crypto is what will we do at present for future.
Invest in crypto now, It's about present.
We will gain profit at the next year's, It's about future.
Okay ...I will talk about  the past.
We have invested in crypto in past and hold until now. It's about the Past.

So, what is crypto ? the past, the present or the future..

Crypto is anything to do in anytime.. of course  do investment in crypto in the right time..
what about you ??

Cryptocurrencies have always been and will be the topic of the future. They have always had and will have prospects for the future. After all, the main advantages of cryptocurrencies - honesty, openness and non-transparency - have remained as they were. Despite the fact that the SEC has tightly regulated all of us with the requirement of the KYC. But cryptocurrencies also have a very strong influence on the present. We receive money now and this income helps us to live and change our lives for the better.

Looking at the development of cryptocurrencies, it seems to me that they have already become a significant part of the modern financial system. The success of projects, adoption by major companies, and even official recognition by governments all indicate that cryptocurrency has truly entered our present. Instead of predicting the future, we can confidently say, 'Cryptocurrency is the present,' and I see not only stability but also opportunities for innovation in the global economy.

Not only that, but as you have seen, digital currencies such as cryptocurrency are currently circulating widely throughout the country, and several countries have also started to provide legality for the use of cryptocurrency, so as digital technology develops, cryptocurrency digital currency will be very useful.

That statement that crypto is the future is truly something, but this is based on how we individually view it from our own perspectives. There are people who just look at crypto to see how they can profit from it, either by using it to increase their privacy or by just taking profit when necessary.
 
But there are people who just buy bitcoin and other crypto not just for today's profit, but they buy it like others buy stock shares from different companies and keep them in a cold wallet where they can pass it down to their next generation to milk the profit as inheritance. When crypto is treated in such a manner, we can all see that it's not just for today's use but also for the future.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency, while the future is a development process that will become completely digital. When Satoshi Nakamoto first created Bitcoin, he was already thinking about creating a single currency that could only be used digitally, whereas now it has been around 15 years since the currency digital Bitcoin was created, so with this, Satoshi Nakamoto was thinking about a future that would develop completely digitally, and currently many cryptocurrencies have been created, and the future is still developing for the better. The digital world will always develop from year to year, and we, as ordinary humans, must be able to follow these developments so as not to be left behind.

We have different ideas and perspective at anything but sometimes we have to understand the origin of this coin, what's the real purpose of it and why Satoshi made this amazing digital currency. And I believe that he made this coin for our own goodness, he wants us to be free from being controlled by the governments in the future. He made Bitcoin for our security and our privacy.

Just as we are living in the Internet era, the crypto era has begun and we also live in it.

There will be a long way for crypto to move forward, and the potential of crypto is extremely large, it can be said that it could be almost as large as the entire global economy if assets are gradually tokenized and taken to blockchain. I think that although we cannot yet imagine all the benefits that crypto can bring to this economy, we are already a part of it  ;D

Of course, everyone may have a different perspective. If you don't view it as a future asset, it is no problem. But I and many other people will assume crypto is for the future. It is because we invest in crypto for the future, we believe the value will always increase gradually in the future. Sure, Satoshi made it for a digital currency but it is not a mistake to make it as a digital asset. This won't be controlled by the government, too.

But people where not wrong when they said that the internet is the future, perhaps the internet have existed for many decade and through the internet other service have emerged.
 Can you use Bitcoin today without internet connection? Can you make a video called across to someone in far from you without internet connection?

If it were in the time of old when the internet was there, so many other things where not there includes Bitcoin, ability to make video calls, ability to download songs and videos from the internet, ability to streams songs online. A lot of things are working with the internet and this will continue to explore even in the future. That's to say that internet is still the present and also the future.

Cryptocurrency is the present and also the future because it is being used currently and it will also be used in the future.

If you think about it, this is such an elegant way to put what we are living through right now. Many people think that it is the future that we are investing in, but at the same time there is really no better asset than Bitcoin on the long scale, it just doesn't exist. Whatever you can think of as an investment, bitcoin beats that anytime, sure there are bad days but the good days make up for it. So it is not an investment for the future, it is just the current best investment we have in the world. I hope that we can see that more clearly in the days to come, especially now that there is a bull run expected after the halving.

After considering your statement from your perspective, I noticed that you are correct in some ways. However, I also believe that we should not overlook the potential future implications of cryptocurrency. Certainly, everything we see today is temporary(suitable only for the present) and would surely fade away with time. It's possible that new forms of currency will emerge, rendering crypto less important.

It's essential for us to concentrate on the current utility of crypto and explore its possibilities. The future undoubtedly holds something different for us.

As stated clearly: I believe that the age of crypto has already begun, and is not just in the future. Crypto is mentioned in many places, by famous people, enters national reserves, becomes the subject of legal frameworks... We cannot deny its existence in society that we are living in, in the present!

Of course, the potential of crypto is huge and will be gradually explored in the future. This is quite contrary to what I thought that blockchain would come to life first, then crypto. Now blockchain is still the technology of the future, while crypto is an asset of the present  8)

I think and say that the future of crypto is brighter because mass adoption is not yet complete. However, crypto today provides me with every service it can. Therefore, crypto is the present for me. I live today as a part of the future. I am happy to live the future and be a part of the future from today. One day, if we move everything to blockchain technology, that will be the crypto age for me.

Cryptocurrencies are as successful as they are today and the chances are high that it will continue to achieve even greater success in the future. People are interested in doing everything through digital medium in all the transactions, exchange, shopping, etc. from a long time ago even in developed countries everything is done in this process. Slowly people are starting to learn about cryptocurrencies.  It's just that they know a little bit. When it will be known in detail on a large scale, people will definitely be interested in it. At some point in the future I think there will be no such thing as a bank. All that will remain is the only cryptocurrency. What do you think?

Nowadays internet has become an essential thing. Nowadays we cannot imagine a moment without internet, internet is deeply intertwined with our life. The predictions that were made about the Internet in the past have come true today.  Cryptocurrencies are predicted to become a necessity for all people at some point. Although not essential for all people, many times more people will know about cryptocurrencies in the future than the number of people who are involved with cryptocurrencies today. Day by day the demand of crypto currency is increasing among people and people are learning about crypto currency in a new way. Since the popularity of crypto currency is increasing with time, it can be assumed that its popularity will increase in the future, but it will not be as essential as the Internet for sure.

agree with you, crypto is the future, and for now when we invest and do research is the present. I believe crypto technology will be used many projects at the coming future. If there is people  who said crypto is the present , they also Right. Because at present we learn and invest in crypto.

In the future, perhaps digital currency will develop for the better because I believe Bitcoin will be the main reference for this development. The price of Bitcoin in the future will be even crazier because many cryptocurrency projects will be created that are based on blockchain and others. As you know, cryptocurrency investment is a smart choice at the moment.

And you, what do you think, please share your views:
  • Do you think we have reached the crypto era?
  • You think crypto is the future, or crypto is the present?
  • If crypto is the future, when will that future come?
The era of trading and finding opportunities with crypto: is right. I saw friends inviting each other to get into crypto a few years ago. If you win you want to win more, if you lose you want to win back, the stress is no less than gambling, more terrible than the stock wave of the 2010s.

Currently, digital transformation is still difficult, moving towards a cashless economy like Europe has many obstacles, and we cannot dream of the crypto era right away. I still only consider crypto as a financial speculative trading market, if I can win it then I can escape, and don't expect much.

I agree with your point of view. I think bitcoin in particular and crypto in general have a great future, especially with the participation of Wall Street companies.

  • Do you think we have reached the crypto era?

Not as such. Although the possession of cryptocurrencies is becoming more and more normal and reaches a significant percentage of the population, although still low in many countries, I believe that there is still a long way to go and that we cannot speak of an era of cryptocurrencies as we began to speak of the era of the internet a few years ago.

  • You think crypto is the future, or crypto is the present?

It is more present than future. When I got into it, around mid-2017, it was the other way around, more present than future. Another thing is that how that future has been materialising is something we like more or less.

  • If crypto is the future, when will that future come?

Well, this I have partially answered, I think the 'future' is quite advanced, now there remains a gradual and increasing ownership and use, also with the forthcoming introduction of CBDCs.

Of course, Bitcoin will have a very bright future, starting with the supply factor, which is only available at 21 million Bitcoin pieces, while humans in this world are more than that and have blockchain technology, which works as a ledger because all Bitcoin transactions are neatly recorded on the blockchain. Currently, there are also many technologies that imitate Bitcoin to create altcoins that have various goals to gain trust and selling value from the coins being developed.

I still think that the phrase cryptocurrency is the present is slightly exaggerated. Many people know about it, but the share in calculations in relation to fiat money is negligible. Therefore, cryptocurrency is the future is more appropriate.

So I think, we should ignore the concept of "Crypto is the future", we should say that "Crypto is the present".


Both are relevant why not make it
Quote
Crypto is the present and Crypto is the future
because it means that Cryptocurrency exists today and will continue to exist in the future. After all, until now some countries and companies have not yet accepted, adopted, and integrated Cryptocurrencies into their system or they are still restrictive, Crypto is the present for those who have adopted Cryptocurrency is the future for those who have not yet adopted Cryptocurrency, because Bitcoin is still a work in progress.

For now I also prefer to focus on crypto for today. Because we are the ones who are still involved in crypto and the popularity of crypto continues to increase. And we don't know the future. Will crypto continue to develop or will crypto be replaced by the latest technology that will emerge in the future? So what we need to do is just assume that crypto is for today. But there is no harm in investing in crypto for the future like in bitcoin.

I'm not a big investor, just a holder and a trader.  I hold crypto for a maximum of 3 years.  If it's for more than 5 years, I can't afford it, because I have needs in my live.  So I think invest crypto for the present, and the next 1-3 years.  It is considered for the future or not.

Cryptocurrency is widely used all over the world today. People buy cars, houses and much more with cryptocurrency. A large number of crypto ATMs have been installed. Therefore, cryptocurrency is valued as an additional means of payment. The future has already arrived.

Currently people are getting the facilities that you have mentioned through crypto currency but not all the people of all countries are getting such facilities. You can receive various services in the developed countries of the world through crypto currency, but in most of the developing countries of the world, you cannot receive any service through crypto currency because developing countries have not yet introduced crypto currency as a means of transaction. However, as time changes, people are relying on technology and trying to enjoy life easily, so it is assumed that crypto currency will become more popular with people as time changes and more people will be interested in trading through crypto currency.

Maybe Garden is in one of the places where BTC is considered legal and accepted in payment, for example El Salvador. Many countries still do not have clear regulations for BTC, some countries even ban BTC and crypto[1].

(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/21/YYf1b.png)

However, I believe that the global wave of crypto adoption has just begun. Countries will soon realize that we are living in the crypto era and what needs to be done is to accept and manage instead of banning.

We often compare crypto to Internet, and believe that with growing acceptance, crypto is the inevitable future. However, I remember that in the past people also said that "Internet is the future", meaning that in the future, using internet is inevitable. I think Internet became really popular in 2000s[1], and services on the internet started to become popular like texting or searching for news. At that time, we knew that "Internet is the present"!

A few years ago, especially since 2017, we were saying that “Crypto is the future”. Now, dozens of companies accept BTC payments[2], large companies store BTC, investment funds have BTC Spot ETF products, governments store BTC[3], BTC is accepted officially received in El Salvador[4]… All this is even bigger than what happened with Internet in 2000s.

So I think, we should ignore the concept of "Crypto is the future", we should say that "Crypto is the present".

And you, what do you think, please share your views:
  • Do you think we have reached the crypto era?
  • You think crypto is the future, or crypto is the present?
  • If crypto is the future, when will that future come?

Nowadays, people all over the world make most of their money, investing in cryptocurrencies. For example, I invest 100%/17% of the money I earn in cryptocurrencies. Because I want to be successful from this investment thinking about my future and from the total investment I invest most of the money in bitcoins. Bitcoin is a trusted platform, a platform that has been in the market with trust for a long time.

I think I will agree with the Op because it is the present that determines the future so when you say cryptocurrency is the future then you have to prepare yourself well in the present to see the beauty of the future. Because anything that happens in the present it will affect the future. And I also believe that why people are saying that crypto is the future because when you have known it now, it will change your life in the future.

Even we will saw some currency will increase 50x-100x.
Future of cryptocurrency is bright therw jas no doubt. We saw some currency increased thousand times in last bull session. So i strongly believe in future bull session some currency will increase more and more.

Crypto in the past exists to be one of the reasons why we are still here, to provide learning from various experiences that we have gone through, and as material for deeper knowledge and insight

Crypto at the present, is something we do today. And it really doesn't rule out the possibility that we can really influence crypto in the future. Whatever we decide now, what we buy and sell, and what we hold, will determine what our results will be in the future. So, this really influences our strategy for crypto itself.

And so far, I am really grateful to be related to crypto.
