On October 31, bitcoin turned 10 years old.

I delivered the keynote at World Crypto Con this week, alongside blockchain luminaries like Tim Draper and Charlie Shrem. It was a terrific experience being around blockchain believers on the birthday of bitcoin.

Hearing so much good thinking around bitcoin made me think about the future. So here are ten predictions for the next ten years of bitcoin:

  1. Bitcoin will become the “gold standard” of blockchain assets, with people holding it not as a digital currency, but as a store of value (like gold).
  2. The price of bitcoin will stabilize, much like the price of gold.
  3.  Other altcoins will rise up to serve as digital currencies, probably a stablecoin tied to the U.S. dollar.
  4. To compete with bitcoin, the U.S. government will issue a DollarCoin, and China will issue YuanCoin. I’m not sure which one will come first.
  5. Bitcoin will be valued at more than 50x its current price, bringing it more in line with the market cap of gold (currently around $8 trillion).
  6. There will be a lot more drama around scaling bitcoin’s technical architecture. We’ll realize that getting consensus in real life is way harder than consensus algorithms.
  7. A wide range of financial vehicles will be available to invest in bitcoin, from your 401(k) to institutional investment funds.
  8. Warren Buffett will own bitcoin (if he’s still around).
  9. Bitcoin will be regularly mentioned in the lyrics of pop songs.
  10. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto will remain a mystery.

I got together a bunch of attendees at World Crypto Con to sing happy birthday to bitcoin. Here we are!

Health, wealth, and happiness.
