Speaker Announcement: Achim Himmelreich – What about the future of Bitcoin?
What do you think about the future of Bitcoin? What possibilities do you see?
The future of Bitcoins is really open. If they will gain security and solve the deflation problem they can become the first important internet currency. If not they will stay in a niche or even vanish.
Where do you see Bitcoin in five years?
I guess that new start-ups or even established players in the payment market will combine the advantages of Bitcoins and traditional payment methods so that the innovation of Bitcoins will have a long lasting heritage. Maybe Bitcoins can achieve that themselves but I doubt it.
What are the main challenges for Bitcoin?
Close security holes, solve the deflation problem and meet existing regulatory standards.
