Topic: Is the Bitcoin currency an underdog? (Read 930 times)
I personally think of Bitcoin as a completely guerrilla currency because I strongly suspect that if/when it gains any significant traction, that will be the role it is forced into like it or not. I anticipate that the forces which aligned against Bitcoin if/when the shooting starts will render Bitcoin a significant underdog, but the strengths that it possesses do not preclude a favorable outcome and it could win some notable skirmishes or pitched battles from time to time.
This question was triggered by hearing the very entertaining podcast below. In it they explore why people root for the underdog 80% of the time and the others root for the expected winner.

Can Bitcoin be seen as an underdog? Or do you view it as the long-term winner over established national currencies (i.e. it'll just be a matter of time)? Your perspective has an impact on how you might support Bitcoin so think about it!
