for me bitcoin is the source of my livelihood because I do not have a job so I rely on bitcoin until no longer useful
If you do not have a job then how is it your livelihood? Please don't tell me bitmixer campaign that would not pay a weeks rent in 2months. The best bet is to find a job to rely on and buy bitcoin as a hobby. It will always be useful, if nothing else this is a criminals paradise.
It's the worlds first digital decentralized currency and I think it's a genius idea. I hope it becomes the first widely accepted worldwide currency too.
I am going to be sticking around long enough to be part of that if that day ever comes. I don't hold my breath though a lot of power will work against that doing anything to destroy any chances of it happening.
