Funny, I see a lot of people having high expectations about bitcoin (I also have high expectations about bitcoin). but we cannot exaggerate. We have to think that in the future there may also be other competitors for bitcoin. We also have to think that in the future people can do the unthinkable: be more interested in altcoin than bitcoin. So we are comfortable thinking that in the future only bitcoin will attract people's attention so that the price will be 1 satoshi = $1 may be a mistake
Each day that passes where Bitcoin isn't replaced in the affections of the people makes the likelihood of it happening recede ever further.
No one is building Feathercoin futures.
Newcomers sit where they're told and Bitcoin is where it'll be as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I mean, it's not even a question of how BTC is doing currently, but rather of who is supporting it, or what team is behind it, to be more precise. If Mercedes-Benz were still producing same automobiles Karl Benz built in 1885
they would hardly be selling hundreds of thousands cars worldwide, each year, currently. Same goes for BTC. It has been evolving all the time, with a great team of developers behind it. Maybe in 100 years, the Bitcoin we know today will make the same impression as the first car in comparison with modern ones, but it still will be called
Bitcoin.
