I've been wondering how crypto-currencies will be positioned in the fincancial markets in, say, ten or fifteen years.
What will a bitcoin be worth in the long term, and why?
And how much will a litecoin be, if they still exist?
Are there any sensible theories about this, or is it all pure speculation?
Cryptocurrency is the latest and most intriguing advancement to decentralize currency to date, that is no doubt. To predict it will be mainstream and take over as a leading way the world works with trade is another story.
Governments will want their due share, and they may be getting more and more involved in the whole race because it in uncontrollable by design and concept, they will adopt and corrupt it.
The future is so hard to predict when this whole thing has just started, even though it is already 5+ years old.
