Surely, we are all just here in the present and no one knows the future and we can only be optimistic and if we are to judge with the present, I want to believe we still have more room for growth.
OP is asking a question that sounds a little bit lame than it being a fact. No one knows the future, so asking us if bitcoin would cease to exist in couple of years to this time or if it will not is all B.S. The market is growing by the day, development is popping up daily and I see no reason why bitcoin would cease to exist and I do not see Ethereum ceasing to exist either, however, like I said, no one knows what the future holds. Just buy what you feel you want to take the risk of buying and live with it. As long as you understand the risk, then the rest is left for you to decide.
