In just six years, bitcoin has gone from a relatively obscure piece of code to an internationally recognized form of payment. Yet, opinions about bitcoin’s future are mixed. After considering the major factors affecting bitcoin’s future use, I offer some modest predictions. In brief, I expect (1) the share of electronic transactions will continue to increase; (2) blockchain technology will be widely adopted to process these digital payments; (3) bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, to the extent that they survive at all, will likely function exclusively as niche monies; and (4) bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency might function as more than a niche money in countries with especially weak currencies, even though these countries would seem to pose the greatest regulatory risk to bitcoin.
