In the time duration that the op is talking about that is equivalent 1-2 circle, I know it’s very difficult to predict the future, likewise also predicting the future of bitcoin that is also something that you have to put in a lot of work in your speculation still it’s difficult, but I think Bitcoin is going to remain a store of value, judging from the way bitcoin is moving now, personally I would focus on buying and accumulating bitcoin in that duration of 10 years, can you imagine buying and accumulating bitcoin for ten years consistently, then when you do that, the future of bitcoin might actually reward you for making all the efforts to buy and hold bitcoin, we’ve bear season and bull season whichever one that comes during this 10 years you appreciate it as someone who knows what bitcoin is really all about.

Bitcoin has a lot of importance as a store of value. The store value of Bitcoin keeps increasing. But short term price changes create some problems for new Bitcoin investors. And I don't consider Bitcoin just as a store of value. Another big advantage of Bitcoin is that Bitcoin can be transferred very easily. When an asset has a value and it keeps increasing over time, and along with that it can be transacted very easily, its demand and convenience keep increasing.

And new innovations are not always useful. Fixed rules regulation forces people to adapt themselves according to those rules. Bitcoin is not proving itself acceptable to people. Rather, people are changing their mindset, thoughts, and purposes to use and hold Bitcoin.

Ofcourse the price increases as it becomes more valuable. If people bothered about the future of Bitcoin not being guaranteed, i doubt there would've been any serious holder currently cause what's the point of investing when we don't know if it would crash in future. People see potential, they see facts and not hype moreover they're investing with their discretionary funds incase of a negative future.

This same believe you have is what many others investors possess too, cause Bitcoin has proven beyond doubt that it has the potential to remain more valuable in the next decade. So, if you're buying it with your discretionary funds you're making the right choice.

Bitcoin already build a huge foundation in the community we can even see Bitcoin getting support from the governments, companies etc. I can't see a huge reason why Bitcoin is not going to continue it's journey to increase it's adaptation around the globe, for sure after 10 years I could speculate a huge market price maybe almost around 1million dollars market price for sure. For sure like what happened in the past year it is going to get adopted on a lot of aspects like stores, online payments etc. A lot of countries for sure is going to see it as a huge asset as well making it something that is worth investing for long term, it's possible that countries is going to do as well a strategic reserve investment.

Unless there were something happened that is going to destroy Bitcoin, like something like war, or maybe someone able to hack it's structure maybe we could see a huge downfall of Bitcoin since it wasn't something that is guaranteed to continue it's market price because nothing is backing it up actually, market price is only depending on supply and demand so if that experience a problem then that could mean a huge problem.

I still wouldn't bet every on it since it wasn't something that is guaranteed, it's better to diversify long term and in my experience cash is still king, even though it wasn't something that is a investment, I still have savings funds on banks for emergencies and savings.

What were you expecting? People will definitely complain, even if Bitcoin start pumping now, there are those that will still have something to say, human what is unsatisfiable, the question I ask about the bear market is that, is it as bad as some people see it, maybe some people forget that there are different seasons in the market and each of the seasons has what they are known for, we can actually capitalize on the buying opportunities that the bear market present us with, I do not think there's no Bitcoin investor that do like buying at a cheaper price.

As for different thoughts that comes to peoples minds at this point, Bitcoin is what it has been, I don't think anyone should get worked out, rather the best to do this period is to persistently keep up with the amount we can afford.

I think that in the next 10 years, Bitcoin can be more exciting than just focusing on the 'digital gold' narrative. Store of value can continue to be one of the most compelling use cases for Bitcoin because even under the most difficult circumstances, people still need the stable monetary asset that is capped and permissionless globally.

At the same time, we can see it becoming useful in other forms. For example, the future may be led by a trend of using the technology to settle cross-border payments, collateralize assets, store value, or develop liquidity-based financial products. Segwayer solutions and the other scalability solutions can help achieve fast small transactions without affecting the underlying layer.

That said, I don't think all these use cases I mentioned will be the most successful in the future. Everything will be subject to regulation, volatility, other asset classes competition, environmental issues, and scalability. Some use cases will die, but some new use cases will spring up.

Thus, I would not argue to choose between 'digital gold' and the global financial network because Bitcoin can become both the monetary asset at its base layer as well as something else. We will see which use cases will be sustainable in the next 10 years.

So what's stopping you from taking the lead, by stating to us here what problem Bitcoin might solve that we are not already aware of. If you are still ignorant, I just want to break this sad news to you that life is all about interest, so majority of those that invested in Bitcoin are into it because of the profit they stands to gain, wether you agree to this or not, while a few of those that invested in it are using it as a store of value, since Bitcoin is an asset that will always beat inflation any day and time.

Though it has already solved the issues of privacy and control, but since you are very interested in figuring out if it can solve more problem, so it's not a bad idea if you can tell us which other problem it can solve that we are not aware of.

Do you mean does this lead to quantum computers that many people say this will threaten bitcoin, so that people are more afraid of this sophistication, I do not think so only researchers say so but it is not yet completely true and only time will tell.
10 years is a long time, the progress of bitcoin will certainly be seen perhaps what is wanted is greater adoption, but the question of this problem being solved or not depends on the context that will be aimed at.
