"In five years, if you try to use fiat currency, they will laugh at you. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be so relevant ? there will be no reason to have the fiat currencies?―Tim Draper, billionaire investor and Bitcoin owner.
And here is one way why hold bitcoin, Its price has surged to about 583,170,000% of its May 2010 value. That?s when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas, which were worth about $30. That puts Bitcoin?s 2010 valuation at around $0.003 per coin (about one-third of a penny each). History may repeat itself and the price may continue to surge. So shall we buy more?
It is great how influential people say before bitcoin. But one thing I do not agree yet not against it is that removing fiat and take those for fun. I guess bitcoin could be put on a greater and better place after five years, where I just agree from your opinion. But then, fiats are fiats, bitcoins are bitcoin. They have runned a long year before bitcoin came. With or without internet, transactions have been made with fiats. I am not into any of the two. Mine is, both of these are part of the evolution yet both could still remain.
