Bitcoin is a groundbreaking invention: a global and borderless money open to any computer programmer / entrepreneur, and this will be enough for it to wildly succeed, despite any problems it may encounter along the way. It also has the network effect and first mover advantages.
Do you really think that in a few years various technologies won't allow us to do that but with existing currencies without having to deal with volatile irreversible pyramid scheme funbucks? Are you guys really that naive? 
Some of them are already here but I don't wanna ruin the party with spoilers.
The more time goes by for these technologies to be eventually accessible to anybody and for institutions to adopt them, the less likely (and more expensive) it will be for bitcoin to be pumped again.
I don't wanna argue. I just wanna put my prediction here for when we bump this thread in a few years
