Crypto: temporary trend or future revolution?

[bayu7adi]

since bitcoin first appeared, the financial world has not been the same... governments have started to interfere in cryptocurrency affairs... some even say this is just a momentary trend like a bubble...

I started to think, will this crypto actually just be a trend that will fade, or is it still possible to become a revolutionary currency that shifts the existence of FIAT?

seeing the unbalanced growth of crypto between those caused by innovation and others caused by speculation...

have you prepared yourself to welcome these two scenarios?

There is no question in my mind that cryptocurrency is here to stay and will even BOOM in 2025 and beyond most especially since in USA which is its biggest market so far the environment is getting to be more friendly with the rise of Trump and his crypto-loving minions on the scene. Of course, there will also be bad players and there can be some crypto-based platforms that can go underground and be bankrupt but overall the feeling is quite so positive most especially with Bitcoin and yes memecoins too. I am seeing deeper and further developments using the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency and more and more traditional institutions are now looking on how they can participate too and ride with the BOOM. However, for now, three is not going to be a massive away from FIAT as more and more we are getting to be speculators rather than using cryptocurrency like everyday currency - and that is fine with me actually as we are just in the beginning of more things to come into the future.

Yes, I think that crypto currency market is already achieve best position in cryptocurrency world. I also believe that gradually it's position is developing. Because we know that bitcoin price is increasing gradually in crypto currency market. If bitcoin price is increase, then all crypto currency price maybe increase gradually in crypto currency market. So I believe that if we want to invest in any crypto, then it will be correct decision for us. So I think that hold on bitcoin or other crypto will be best earning way for us.

As long as there are some people who want or need privacy, decentralized or noncensorable aspect offered by cryptocurrency, it will not fade.

[hugeblack]

Bitcoin was never meant to replace cash and the American architecture would not allow any cryptocurrency to handle the transactions of 8 billion people, so on-chain Bitcoin will not be for everyday use by everyone.


Bitcoin has managed to survive for over 10 years without stopping and attracting the attention of many, so it is a revolutionary concept.


The only thing that could stop it is a regulatory consensus to ban cryptocurrencies or an unfixable technical flaw.

I'm wondering when this idea started to appear tbh. I believe the goal of Bitcoin (the earliest crypto) has already been achieved, which is to offer a digital, trustless payment network. I'm not sure if any alts explicitly stated that they wanted to replace fiat. I guess stablecoins? But most of them won't exist if fiat is replaced by something. While the crypto market will become more controlled by the government, I'm sure the decentralized system will stay alive as mentioned above. CMIIW.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

       -     It is said that as long as there are communities in this industry that believe in decentralized digital assets like bitcoin, and other altcoins listed on the top market,
it will not disappear but will continue to exist in the field of the crypto industry.

Particularly as 2025 approaches, many are probably expecting that their altcoin holdings will make good profits as their altcoins will boom in the upcoming bull run.

I have no doubt that cryptos are not just a trend, after all, Bitcoin has been around for over 14 years now
A good example is the internet, which many also doubted and thought was just a trend, and today we can't live without

We are living in a very interesting time in which many projects are emerging, everything is relatively “new” and as time goes by only good projects are kept alive and grow stronger.
Just like the .com bubble, we may be living through this moment, and in a few years we'll see the relevant projects

[Findingnemo]

We moved a long way from calling it as bubble and if someone still claims it is they're too blind to see what's the reality. It's already making governments to create policies on it's own kind and still a lot of potential to grow. Trump is showing making the Bitcoin as a part of government reserve which is going to be the next big thing for crypto.

Imagine going to a church in 1600 and asking how long Christianity will last, you will end up burned on a cross, then go to a pub in the Western world now and ask a question about it, you will get only laughs. Same here, you're preaching to the choir, there is no way anyone here would say crypto is a fad, even if they believe that because it's in their own interest to say that, you can't find anywhere in the world a more biased source to which you can put this question.

But again, everything is possible, gold has been replaced, checks have been replaced, TV is about to be replaced, hyperstores and gas stations are looking at a dark future, nothing is eternal here.

This was on the very first hit of Bitcoin price surging to $20k which first brought the fear of Bitcoin to financial institutions round the world. Financial institutions called Bitcoin a meer bubble due to the volatile increase in price. I guess, the $100k price that Bitcoin broke has become a shocker to them all.

I don't think Bitcoin will replace the use of fiat currency, it will have it's effect for international and national transactions, but for our normal daily purchasing of groceries, the native fiat will have it's part to play. Though, it could be that majority of people will be making demands for crypto currency for their daily transactions, when it comes to online sales.

In actuality, Bitcoin is on a revolutionary trend, to readjust the financial institutions and reshape Fiat money. For me, adapting to every change is a major to survive anywhere. Changes that will come through crypto currency will only be accepted. Speculations is a valuable asset in crypto currency, that's the fun in it, while the innovation is change it will bring to the real world. They will both be accepted and adopted.

How can governments stay the same and won't interfere they first made a mistake by suppressing it and by banning it, but after they realized the mistake so they start adopting it now and will try to regulate it and make people follow their rules in order to use the crypto and with the they will make things more centralized by praising the kind words of decentralization with proper security haha.

Crypto will not fade away, not because it has become a 3+ trillion market cap, and BTC alone with the most of the market cap, sits at number 7 on the top world assets list by market cap. It can't just be Rugg pulled or bubbled popped it has become bigger.

What trump did by choosing bitcoin as a reserve for government funds was the right move. because bitcoin can hedge and avoid inflation.
I never thought bitcoin was a bubble, because so far the price of bitcoin will be more expensive every year during the 4-year cycle.

Having this thought in bull run is normal because everwhere is crypto crypto everyone will be talking about it and social media will be full of content on crypto and countries will be investing and adopting crypto.

In this environment a person can think if its a bubble or the trend will stay simple answer is trend will not stay once the bull run is over everywhen will go the their homes like after watching match in stadium they leave the mess behind though but this is how market works.

This is to be expected because not all crypto were created to be useful in the first place. Some were created just for fun while majority were for money grabs.

Bitcoin is no longer a trend setter and could not be considered as a bubble anymore. I could not say the same thing for the rest of existing cryptocurrencies.
