Bitcoin is digital gold, and as an asset it has long term durability, the longer the time the more valuable bitcoin becomes just like gold and other precious metals.


What makes bitcoin more unique is that, bitcoin is digitally tranfereble but all the other assets in bitcoin asset class are all offline, that is why some segments of bitcoin lover refer to bitcoin as a digital gold.

According to bitcoin speculators bit coin still holds greater chances to remain popular over the next decade and also that Bitcoin,the blockchain,will probably continue to be developed to address long-standing issues like scalability and security.

There's no possibility that we can predict what will or what can happen to bitcoin in next 5 to 10 years,as many factors can constitute a rise or fall in price/market.We all worry about this a lot and it still clear that no one has gotten an idea of what the future holds for bitcoin.But its essential that we focus and anticipate for only positive outcomes.

You can find many altcoins (alternate cryptocurrencies) with same total supplies like Bitcoin, many of them are Bitcoin forks, or smaller than Bitcoin total supply but these cryptocurrencies are either dead or have very low values.

Total supply, by this example, is not the main factor to decide value of a cryptocurrency.

How many Bitcoin forks are there?

We can also apply this to real life, whereby we see people going for what they want because such fixed up a particular want or demands from them, Bitcoin has been long awaited for, the people have been silently ignored of their privacy with financial economy using commercial banks, they are tired of the centralized means of handling their finances, this makes them to go further for seeking an alternative in bitcoin and when they discover it's advantages, they couldn't resist it any more than to adopt it for their financial satisfaction, everyone in cryptocurrency today must have first heard about bitcoin in the first place.

Maybe I'm asking you a little "what currency can outperform bitcoin".
Maybe you could explain it in more detail?

Not only is it unique, in my opinion Bitcoin is an unusual software technology and it is very extraordinary that this asset was created, as far as I know, this asset was created as a means of exchange for transactions in the digital online world. In my view there is no fiat or any other currency in this world that can compete with bitcoin, The creator of BTC saw something strange about the fiat financial system throughout the world. What makes Bitcoin big in the future is that its supply will remain constant forever.

Limited supply may be an advantage bitcoin has over fiat currencies, but it is not the only factor that makes bitcoin superior and special. You're right, creating a coin with a finite supply has never been too difficult, many altcoins also have this feature but it's confusing that many people always consider it the pride of bitcoin.
In my opinion, the difference and most outstanding point of bitcoin is decentralization and so far no currency has achieved the level of decentralization like bitcoin.

Additionally, an asset with a finite supply is useless if it has no use case. Bitcoin has many factors that set it apart from the rest of the world, not just its limited supply.

Your points are not without faults and I would have loved it if you numbered them just as you listed them.

First, I often read people mentioning the maximum 21 million BTC supply, but they often see the positive side due to the lesser supply it may cause with the higher demand it could cause. However, they neglect the limitations it can cause for the progress of Bitcoin. No wonder some crypto projects avoided that limitation and even made their projects more scalable than Bitcoin. All these are pros even if we are finding some excuses to prove that Bitcoin is better. And of course, it's uncontroversial that Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency in the world. It prepared the table for other cryptocurrencies and is the pioneer, what do you expect? It is already inculcated into the mainstream of the financial market and I expect it to take the front roll and role for as long as possible.

However, I hope the government will not someday clamp down on it, I don't trust them. This will be severe on the private and corporate users due to its decentralisation. Bitcoin is a true decentralised cryptocurrency, it has always been the headache of the government and they've never hidden their grievance about that. If that is left out of it, Bitcoin is the biggest name in the crypto space and will remain like that as long as cryptocurrency exists.

If supply is the main factor that makes bitcoin strong in the future, what about some altcoins with lower supply than bitcoin? Many altcoins not only have a limited supply, developers even burn their supply on a quarterly basis, which will make those altcoins extremely scarce. If your view is that relying on supply alone will make bitcoin strong, does that mean there will be more altcoins stronger than bitcoin?

Don't just focus on supply and assume that's all bitcoin has to offer. We need benefits, use cases, security, decentralization...so many factors combine to make bitcoin a leading currency.

Bitcoin is at the top of its game right now. Do I think that it will stay up there for a long time? Yes, I do.

But I don’t think it will be forever up there. There is a chance that a new altcoin prove itself to be much more valuable than bitcoin with a much sophisticated technology and functionality. We can not deny that time is changing and so is everything else.

Put a bag under it on layer 2.

I go to the shop. It's open..
