Even though there isn't anything bad about such statements, they are obsolete.
Andreas was right. One shouldn't try predict more than 2 years in the future, and even then you have a 75% of getting it wrong (was some short of a joke). Instead of talking, they should rush their own ETF and let's see where that takes us.

Winklevoss Twins Says, In 10 Years Cash Will Be Obsolete

http://bitforum.info/t/winklevoss-twins-says-in-10-years-cash-will-be-obsolete/546

For me, its really hard to believe that bitcoin could replace cash, not because bitcoin cannot do it, but because bitcoin now is having a hard time breaking into the mainstream. I don't know what's their basis about they said.

Maybe if they said 25 years, maybe Ill believe them.



I can see this happening since digital money and mobile technology has now become so popular.  The 2 trends support eachother and physcial cash sucks, everyone agrees on that.

You're already starting to see some signs of this happening, with Apple Pay, Paypal, Venmo, Snapcash, and Facebook Messenger.  The message that they're saying isn't far off.  10 years is really really aggressive, but with the advent of NFC on smart phones and biometric technology, I sure wouldn't bet against them.

I'm pretty sure the manufacturers of 8 tracks, vinyl records, VCR's, VHS tapes and Beta Max tapes, cassette tapes, floppy disks, zip drives, palm pilots, beepers and pagers, blackberries, soon to be CD's and DVD's never thought they'd go out of business either....

What we have to remember is the long distance we have come in the short number of years.
We need to build the platform and services, make it easier for the average person to use and secure ... and that is all before we can expect "mainstream adoption" ...

It is certainly aggressive but in todays age things move quicker.
