I wouldn't place any bets about the future of bitcoin right now.
We are just in the opening moves of a chess game, that is about to morph into a 4D chess game and badminton competition.
There are so many powerful move in the future, like breaking the physical/digital barrier. Smart contracts, such as escrow becoming so ubiquitous that they are always used. And ways of trading cryptos without having access to the block chain.
So, don't consider bitcoin to be out because its old tech. Its software, so it can leapfrog back to the top after others have proven concepts.
I like that!
It has been a very interesting year for sure. I don't know if you were around in 2015 in the crypto scene. It was borning. The coins were doing very badly and everyone was on suicide watch. At least now there is a lot of excitement again!
