That reminds me of the GME trolls on reddit. If it increases another 30% and this guy decides to exit then he’ll be happy. If not, then not.

I always point to the Great Inflation that occurred with a gold-backed currency when the Spanish started bringing vast quantities of gold back from the new world to fund wars across Europe. Inflation was estimated at 1.5% per annum but to a rigid, low-efficiency peasant economy that had been operating in a deflationary environment for centuries it was catastrophic. Today with lab grown diamonds, you are seeing major shifts in the diamond market. Bitcoin almost certainly will be abandoned some day. It’s a forecasting of short-term versus long-term probability. There is no rule without an exception.
 
In 40-50 years 🤔 maybe
Maybe in 100 years. Bitcoin is useful as a means of capital transfer and has considerable (and increasing) backing financial infrastructure. As long as that is true, it will be used. Once the utility is obsoleted, you’ll see use decline. Crypto offers significant advantages right now and my personal opinion is that it is the future. Exactly what that ecosystem eventually looks like and who are the winners and losers, well, good luck. I’d bet on Bitcoin over the numerous shitcoins, but payment processing and fintech applications are worth serious study.
